A JACKSO boy MAKES GOOD

Please allow me space in your
paper to make a few kind remarks
about a soldier wi-o came from
your county. This Eoy's name is
MIR. Joe Stewart.
| want his relatives and friends
to know how he was liked in and
around Camp Chronicle. He was
invited into a good many homes
more than he could 90 to. But I
want to mention just a few of the
home where he visited often. He
came to the homes of Messrs. c.
a. and John w. BlackWood and to
my home quite often, and he was
always welcome at each of these
homes. He also visited mfr. Mellon
and MIR. j. W. McCready, who car
ried him to church and Sunday
school. He was always received
with a kind word, because he con-
Quoted himself in such a good way.
He was invited to the social gather
ings and he attended the singings.
The girls and young people treated
him very nicely He behaved very
nicely: never was rude or rough in
any way, was kind and considerate
of every person who was SO fortu
nate as to become acquainted with
him. He was liberal il the Sunday
school collection. He lad good
mother, because he ycoted her
and chung to the ways OF !. : teach
ings. He never used bad language
nor kept company with the bad,
rough boys Of the camps, where
as is the case e7erywhere-there
are bad cnes to mingle wish the
good.
He will soon be going over to do
his best for his country, and like
many others, will probably Gail to
come back. But We hope not, He
goes away with the prayers and
good wishes of the people he visit
ed. We will miss him very much
He was ready en1 anxious to &c
over the wide pond to do his bit.
We feel sure if the armies are
made up with such good boys as
Mr.. Stewart, the victory will soon
be ours. Respectfully.

this world safe for us. They are
not only fighting, they are being
wounded every day, and they need
attention which the army is net
able to give them, SO the Red Cross
is there, ready to step in where the
army leaves off. The Red Cross OF
America is asking that one hundred
million dollars be raised next week
to carry on this work. What are
you going to do when some one
asks you to aid in this worthy
cause? Are you going to pull out
the money with a smile, or will you
begin to make excuses and COM
plain, saying you have just bought
a fond. and all such things? You
had better think before you refuse
to give to this great cause; your
dollar might save someone who is
near and dear to you.

on suits. belts on dresses, belts on
separate skirts, belts for sweaters,
belts for every kind Of wear. While
the use and beauty OF a band TO

definitely recognized in preceding
ages. the history OF belts as articles

'merrie England" The soldier OF
the Middle Ages wore, over his
armor, a belt Of small metal plates

loose girdles which slip well over

American women, are reproductions
of the sword belts worn in England

Never has there been greater va

belts Of any kind and description

knowledge that they are as much in
