BUTTONS.

Button Button-Whos got the button? Japan ha it. She took it away from Germany
 Before the war Germany had the American button trade Germany had let go of it and Japan grabbed it. It was perfectly natural and legitimate thing for Japan to do and Japan proceeded immediately to qualify in an industrial and trade way that the thing might be done thoroughly and efficiently.
 Marking back only to 1914 Germany made 70 per cent of the buttons imported into the United States while Ja pan sold to this country only per cent of it's imported buttons. ImporatOns from Germany have ceased, as matter of course ImpOraOnS from Japan have increaS ed to 80 per cent of the total During 1914 button mpor tations from the land of the Npponese were valued at S1290OO while last year they mounted to $96OO out of total importation from all sources of $1,2 ,206,OOO

 They are well coupled-this wonderful man, Hoover, and the American people, thus manfestng themselves in

 The Aemrican people are behind him. Yes, indeed! They were content almost to nanmity that he should have and exercise the power requisite to the accomplish ment of the task that has been cut out for him.

 This energetic and artcuate citizen has been per peua spur to the patriotism of people long accustomed to peace and difficult to awaken to the emergent needs ot war When citizens had read Mr.. Hoovers urgent calls for food conservation and forgotten all about it, here the Minute Man stepping brisky to the front of the stage and reminding of it again. and yet again When the Red Cross was husting for funds, and Mr. McAdoo appealing for liberty bond subscriptions, the Four Minute Mans was the voice that stirred to action In his com bned and manifold activities he furnished the punch that put over the nations calls and got results.
 There has been question about the patriotism of the people nor of their desire contribute their aid to the war purposes but they very busy with their own af- fairs had tendency to procrastinae and in some quar- ters there strong confidence that George would do it. The Four Minute Man has been the persistent remind CT of duty the governments buzzer, the arcuate call that the patriot dmy recognized but had no time to put into action When the war is over and we are measuring performance and recompense shall discover the Four Minute Man to be vastly underpaid; and we shall have more evidence of this before peace Pip

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. - An ac- counting of American Red Cross War Council appropriations made public at headquarters shows that up to January g, $77,S43,435 had been ap- propriated from the war fund, every dollar of which was for some form of relief work at home or abroad.

This, with $@lS,- poo drawn from miscellaneous funds for various purposes, made grand
 otal of $79,a5O,727 appropriated for Ill purposes.
 Nearly three-fo'wths Of $44,657 i95 withdrawn for foreign relief work went to France, and of 4,S23, ,lS1 for the purchase of supplies, nearly one-third was for France.

The daily morning oasis., 1918-02-17

There was nothing unusual to be seen
on garden-walk or grass-or so l
thought at first glance. But as l
continued to watch, l spied, by the
faint starlight which illumined the
peaceful scene, shadow projecting
from the corner of the house, which,
with my memory of the trees and
shrubs at that especial point, l could
not account for.
Convinced now that some one besides
myself was awake about the premises,
l went back to my charge. She was
still asleep, but looked paler and much
more wan than when l had left her
few moments before Had the shadow
of my own perturbation fallen across
her sensitive spirit, or were the pulses of
her life sinking lower with every minute

her, took up her glass of medicine and

for 1t was not that of one whose con-
science is quite easy, or who would
wish her thoughts to be read openly by
the world. Then had heard her speak
with open disrespect of one-but on
this L will dilate later; enough that I
had small reason to like this woman, and
small reason for believing that she was
as devoted to Mr.. Cassetty's interests
as she had made him believe Nor do I
think that the doctor held her in any
better estimation than l did, for had
he not told me, on that memorable day
he installed me at Miss Cassetty's
bedside, that l was to distrust every
body in the house, with the solitary
exception Of her father? And who
could he have meant by tn vt everybody,
if not Miss Ffolliet? Surely not the
servants, who, one and all, were of the
old-fashioned type, and manifestly
honest and devoted; and still more
positively, not Mr. Melville, who was
well, | will not say what he was. l find
it difficult to speak of him at all, only
it could not have been he the doctor
meant, for the doctor has eyes and an
understanding, and must know a
perfect gentleman when he sees him.
No! it was this woman he meant-this
young and softly-smiling woman, who
seemed to be in all parts of the house
and always looking, looking for some
opportunity which never quite came,
unless it had come tonight in these wee
small hours when she might easily have
thought l would be slumbering in my
chair. If this shadow should prove to
be hers but at the thought l crept

found that one of the two glass
doors was slightly ajar, and was glad to
latch and lock it. Yet the act did not
afford me entire relief; the shade had
given no evidence of having been
stirred by the wind-indeed, there was
no wind that night l had
assuredly heard something, and in this
direction. Was there anyone on the
veranda outside, or on the lawn beyond?
l did not like to lower my lamp
suddenly, for that would betray sus-
picion; so, remembering that the ad-
joining room was empty, and that it's
shades were probably up, stole thither

minutes before was gone. Unbroken

what it had become my present duty to
find out.
Slipping from the window prepared
to cross the floor in the direction of my
patients room. But as l neared the
door l heard sound at the bedside
which convinced me that, in leaving
Miss Cassetty for a moment l had
subjected her to the very intrusion l
had secretly feared. Some hand had
clinked the bottles standing on the
small table at the bed-head. As that
hand could not have been hers, no

it to her, even if she had been awake.
Yet l scrutinized it most carefully, and
noted the very flower on the glass where
the edge of the liquid stopped. AS l
put it down again my patient gave
utterance to a slight murmur. 1t
startled me as much as if l had been
engaged in some guilty act
Meantime l found myself asking if
the shadow l had beheld on the gravel
was that of a man or a woman. 1t
would make a difference, l thought;
that is, in my fears, or whatever it was
that disturbed me. If it was that of a
man, l had but to ring the bell in my
room and Mr.. Cassetty would soon
come and dispose of any wandering
tramp attracted by a lighted window;
while if it was that of woman it could
only mean Miss Ffolliet, and Miss

The food fight is not over. The
only change is in the scope and

the greatest Importance and serv-
ice and that they must continue
their labor until the need was Of

Herbert Hoover pledged thc
people Of the United States to
similar perseverance in and fide.-

close the war. The right kind

Other countries may now DC

remain the task of the United

sure and glorious future of the

MRS. EMMA JONES THCMP-
SON.

The whole community of Frank
line received the sad news of the
death of Mrs. Emma Elizabeth
Jones, wife Of Mr.. f. NJ. Thomp-
son, Jr., with extreme regret.
Her passing away occurred at
, Oaklawn plantation, last Monday
morning, the 11th, at 3 20 clock
where she had had lived during
the very short months of her
happy married life. Sc was %
years, 2 months and % DAYS old,
when death claimed all that was
mortal of this splendid young wo-
man.
The deceased was another vic
tim of the influenza, which DE-
veloped into pneumonia, and
closed a beautiful young life,
whose hopes and aspirations were
spread out in rich profusion, all
to be blasted by the cold hand Of
death. No effort was spared TO
prolong her life, but all human
energies were beaten back by the
fatal stroke Of the inevitable, and
she closed her eyes in eternal
sleep.
Her remains were laid to rest
from the residence of her mother,
Mrs Emma Jones, after services
according to the ritual OF the
Episcopal church, on Tuesday
morning, the 18th instant. Her
husband, one little daughter by
a former marriage, her mother
and father, two sisters and one
brother, and many friends remain
on this side of the dividing line
between life and death. Our
tenderest sympathies are extend
ed in this sad period to those who
weep with heart full of sorrow.
