Monroe County Women Ship Over $3,lOO Worth
 of Red Cross Supplies

The ARGUS man was in Clar- endon Monday and finding the north side of the Court House filled with packages, etc, re- sembling wholesale shipping station, I found that it was a big shipment of war supplies be- ing made by the Monroe County Red Cross Chapter. The Coun- ty Chairman Mrs. P. c. Evan, with a corp of helpers, had just finished checking out the ship ment which Charley Weidman had packed, wrapped and billed for themI in expert style. Mrs. Bondis showed me in the work room, where the Monday Unit, composed of 8 or 10 splendid women, were busily engaged, making supplies for the soldier boys, A beautiful sight indeed and more impressive to me when \ saw them and thought that in every other town in in America the same thing was going on every day of the week.
 Mrs. Evan, who is in charge of the county work, has her office in the court house and is a busy woman, looking after the work at Brinkley, Clarendon, Holly Grove, Blackton and Roe.
 The shipment that was being made Monday completed the fol- lowing report taken from Mrs. Evans books:
 14 muffiers, 52 helme1s, ll5 sweaters, 96 pair wristlets, l51 pairs socks, total knitted gar ments, 43l, value knitted gar ments, $1435. co.
 400 bed shirts, l35 paJamas, l42 pair bed socks. TIP bandaged foot socks, l5 hot water bottle covers, 100 T. bandages, l27O triangular bandages, total hos pital garments, S63, bandages. 1870, value of hospital garments and bandages, $1678. 40. This represents the work of the. women of Rrinkley, Black ton, Holly Grove, Roe and Clar- endon.

IeeiL PHYSICAL CONDITIONS NEED-
 ING QUICK ACTION.

There are conditions existing in Brinkley now that demand immediate attention and action of those who are in authority.
 The unsanitary condition of the alleys and drainage ditches are such that they are actually endangering the health of the entire people.
 There is on North New York Ave. sewer that has been emp tying it's filthy, slimy, putrid mass out in the middle of the street for several months past.
 The ditches, practically all of them that are for use in draining the city, are filled up with trash, cans and rubbish.
 These conditions are such as should have the IMMEDIATE att tention of those who are in authority. It must be done and the ARGUS hopes that it will not be necessary to have to ever refer to the matter again.

Christ Olson, farmer living near
Litchville, was arrested yesterday by
Deputy United States Marshal j. H.
Trotter for threatening to kill the
president. The marshal brought Mr..
Olson to this city and his hearing was
held before United States Commits
sioner C. A. label yesterday after
noon, who after hearing the evidence
in the case bound Olson over to the
u. S. district court. He was released
on bail, which was placed at $780, The
seriousness of the remark as alleged
to have been made was perhaps not
realized by Mr.. Olson, who might
have said them in the heat Of some
argument, we surmise, but if he did
threaten to kill the president and
meant what he said, he cannot expect
but to get a very severe sentence and
deservedly so. The president of the
United States has job on his hands
that has never fallen to the lot Of any
man who ever sat in the presidential
chair, not excepting President Lin
coin, and he is man Of lofty purposes
and ideals, his great aim being to do
what in his judgment is for the best
interest of the people, not only of this
land Of ours but of the whole world.
We should not tolerate for a single
moment any insiduous or scurrilous
remarks against our chief magistrate
but resent and punish them to the
limit We hope Mr.. Olson can clear
himself Of the charge, if he cannot he

The box came to me at New York

morning while in the midst of the sub

that you were all thinking of me and
that l had not been forgotten.

WHAT CAN YOUR BOND DO?

With the accommodating figures of
the wars enormous cost piling up be-
fore us, the woman who has thought
she might be able to buy one bond is
likely to be discouraged and think
that what she might individually do
would be so small as not to be worthy
Of consideration.
That is not so. Every sacrifice
made for the principles of right will
brings its reward. Every effort made
helps to make every other effort more
effective, and the many Titles make
the much. Nevertheless, there is a
degree of satisfaction in knowing
what may be accomplished by the per-
sonal efforts of the most humble in
weston. The following figures are re-
assuring:
One $50 bond will buy trench knives
for rifle company, or % hand gre
nades, or II rifle grenades, or 81 cases
Of surgical instruments for enlisted
mems belts, or 10 cases Of surgical in
struments for officers belts.
A 500 bond will clothe soldier, or
feed a soldier for eight months, or pur-
chase rifles or 80 rifle grenades, or
43 hand grenades, or rs pounds of
ether, or 145 hot-water bags, or 1000
surgical needles.
A 500 and $50 bond will clothe
and equip an Infantry soldier for serv-
ice overseas, or feed a soldier for a
year.
Two 500 bonds will purchase a
horse or mule for Cavalry, Artillery,
or other service.
Three $100 bonds will clothe a SOL
der and feed him for one year in
France, or buy motorcycle for a ma
chine-gun company.
Four 500 bonds will buy an X-ray
outfit.
One $500 bond will supply bicycles
for the headquarters company of an
Infantry regiment.
