Miss Elizabeth Jones who will repre-
sent Joan of Arc. The relation Of
1.-THE Maid of Orleans" to the crisis
Of today is obvious when one reviews
the deeds of this 18th Century French
heroine, who, at the age of nine
teen, had saved her country and been
condemned to a martyrs death.
Born in the obscure village of
Demremy, she was early noted for
her solitary meditations and pious en-
thusiasm. While child, she began
to see visions and receive instruc-
tions from the saints who told her
that she was destined to save her
country from oppression by taking
up arms for the weak minded Dau-
phin, Charles VIII. The King of
England had already been crowned
King of France, and the English were
threatening to subjugate the country.
The city of Orleans, one of the
French strongholds, was feebly with
standing a siege of English fire, and
was all but captured when Joan of
Arc received permission to hasten to
the deliverance of the city. In male
attire, fully armed, she bore the
sword and the sacred banner as the
signal of victory, and led her army
into Orleans where she served to ami
mate the besieged by her bold sal
lies. The English, forced from their
entrenchments, were compelled TO
abandon the siege. This was sig
nal victory for the French, and soon
after. the brave "Maid of Orleans"
conducted Charles to the historic Ca
thedral of Rheims where he was
crowned with her at his side. After
wards, she was taken prisoner and
shamefully condemned to death as
sorceress. With the same sublime
faith that had made her almost d.
vine in life, she suffered martyrs
death at the hands of her own peo-
pie, claiming to the last to be inspired
| by the voices of her beloved saints
who had directed her in the fuiflll-
ment of her life's mission.
The most spectacular event OF The
Patriotic Rally to be held in Grenade
| on Saturday, War Savings Day, Will
| be the Patriotic Parade in which prac-
tically all of Grenada will partici-
nate. Formation will be made IN

This day will be an epoch making
one in the history of Grenada county
and it is hoped that as large number
of the good citizenship of the county
from the country will be on hand to
aid in the patriotic work and to help
put this county "over the top" The
United States Government was born
of noble aims and purposes and has
never wavered from the course set
for it by the fathers. The home OF
no citizen is any more secure than
his government. The firing on the
Nations flag is shot at the peace
and the security of every firesfde In
the land. In the day of Judgment.
you will be asked, What did you do
when others were responding to your
country's call? Will you get on the
side of the slackers and the dodgers
or will you get on the side with the
patriots, the women and children!
Choose your company and pay the
price of the choice.
