AT TRIANON

The sunlight falls on Trianon
And sends its shafts between
Rememb ering trees
Ladies. behind your painted fans
Whisper more spirit-soft.
And. gentlemen, walk slow,
And gravely once again
Converse
Matters of State,
More great than e'er We knew,
They're thinking on an Trianon
Let the little piay-uill
Cease its mimic grinding.
Another King fears now to lose his
head,
Another Queen is trembling,
SO let the pastry stay barr.
The ghosts are gathering there
Around Loves tiny Temple
Ladies in muslin petticoats,
Tired of brocades,
With little muslin caps
Upon their high dressed hair.
And gentlemen in jeans.
Aping the ways OF peasants whom
they starved
What know they of these larger days?
And have they learn ID the lesson yet,
Since riding TO the block
Three leagues away from Trianon--
Mankind has ever sought,
is clamoring still.
For Liberty, Equality. Fraternity.
They watch the motors throng the
gates,
They see the men in uniform
Or plain attire alight.
And often close the doors themselves,
Sans fcotmen.
They see them walk into the palace
Y it'll its glded chairs,
LIS candles and its mirrors.
Ills memories OF feaAts
And men held down
What do We whisper there.
Ye pale aristocrats,
Beneath remembering trees
Where sunlight Sits
On Trianon?

For the sake OF those vast popula-

TO the Second Red Cross War
Fund Subscribers in
Rankin County.

With the close of the Second
Red Cross War Fund Campaign !
am pleased to announce that
Rankin County's patriotism runs
high and every patriotic person
in this County should feel justly
proud of our oversubscription OF
the allotment made us. The rich
and the poor. the black and the
white, old nd young alike have
answered the call. No part of
the cour ty fell under it's quota.
| wish that it was possible to pub
lish the name and amount sub
scribed by each individual in the
County because several reques-s
have been made from different
sections in the county for this to
be done; but owing to the great
number of contributors this is
impossible. The widow who sub
scribed her small bit is as worthy
of having her name on the Hon
or Roll as che rich man who made
his liberal donation. l am going
to prepare a list of every merch-
ant, professional man, corpora
ton and business establishment
in this county and give the
amount subscribed by each. |
think the people should know
whether the man that they do
business with is a red-blooded
American or not. A certain
widow who does not own a foot
of land and has given two sons
subscribed more than some OF
our wealthiest me rchants. Mr.:
Patriot how does that look to you?

for the contribution you have
made. MAY it be a means OF saw
ing some mothers son" should

THE BANNER BEAT.

There can be no more question
as to the patriotism of the people
of district 4, in Rankin County.
Practically every person in the
district, old and young, black and
white, subscribed something to
the Second Red Cross War Fund
as is shown by the magnificent
over subscription of it's quota.
AS campaign manager for Dis
trict4 | found every body ready
to give and to give literally to
this cause. This call on our pat
riotism is one of the many that
we will have before the war shall
close but we should remember
that our sacrifice is small indeed
compared to the sacrifice made
by those who are called into &C
tive military service. We consti-
tute the reserve army and should
always be ready to give of our
means to help sustain those who
are in active service. | wish to
thank every contributor of Dis
trict 4 for the contribution made
by them and we should each feel
justly proud of the good showing
we have made.
Yours for service,
A. G.. Purvis,
Director for Beat 4, in the Sec
ond Red Cross War Fund
Campaign.
