RED CROSS GIVEN
DONATIONS FROM
LOCAL SOCIETIES

The local Red Cross is today the
richer by two contributions by
women's organizations. The ladies
of the Elks turned over to the chap
ter the generous sum of SALE, rep
resenting the proceeds of a card
party given at the Elks' hall on Feb.
8, and the Willing Workers circle
presented the chapter with s. as a
bit" towards Red Cross work.
1t is for just this type of support
that chapter officials are most CRATE
full, as it evinces continued interest
in the welfare of the Red Cross.
When problems of finance are in
question it is the branches which
come forth with schemes of greatest
ingenuity. West Bowling is an aux
Hilary of Bowling township branch,
and furnishes, by agreement, a Ger
tain portion of the funds of the
main branch. But the sum in the
treasury was low So the little
auxiliary held a sale, no ordinary
sale, either. A cake recipe was
sold and finally the cake itself, net
ting a total of 1885. A duck brought
S15.40 after much bidding, the last
bidder stating that he would cook
the duck, invite all present to the
dinner and charge for the portions,
giving the money to the Red Cross.
One enterprising gardener sold slips
of spring plants for five cents each.
When the evening was over West
BOwling's Golfers were enriched by
$55.79.

The first impression of life in a
cantonment is a favorable one, ac-
cording to Clark L. Means, former
ly connected with The Argus, who
last week went to Camp Dodge
with a small group of draft SOL
diers from this city.
And that impression comes with
the first meal. Clark says, because
the government provides plenty to
eat for the selective soldiers. APP
pended in part is a letter he has
written The Argus:
We stayed in Des Moines the
night we arrived here, and bunked
tan association building. We came
to Camp Dodge the next morning
and proceeded TO the mastering o.?
fee. There was large number
of small parties of rockies drift
ing in all day and they all had TO
go through the same routine. We
had to make out a card and we
carried this with us all day. We
marched from the mastering office
to the regimental headquarters.
From there we went to our
barracks. Company A, Three Hun

boys went, l do not know. 1t was

Corporal Alec Johnson, stationed
in Rock Island on recruiting duty,
can enroll men for any branch OF
service in the army.
The following appeal issued by
the Davenport officials to loyal men
citizens is appended:
Mechanics of all kinds are urg-
emily needed to keep the fighting

not be kept 100 per cent efficient.
1t is desired to enlist at once me-
chanics in all classes and mechanic
apprentices and strong, able-bodIed
young men who want to learn
mechanical trade and at the same
time be rendering valuable service

corps, the signal corps, the aviation
section (nOn-fying branch) of the
signal corps. and the coast artii-
lery. Molders, pattern makers,

ters, plumbers, pipeitters, brick
and stone masons, electrical work
ers and linemen of all kinds, bridge
builders, railroad employees of all
classes, clerks, cooks, bakers, ste
nographers, radio telegraph and
telephone operators. The medical
department wants automobile me-
chanics and drivers and pharma-
cists and drug clerks as well as
men with clerical ability. Able
bodied men are also wanted for in
fantry, cavalry, field artillery and
quartermaster corps. Four new
regiments of cavalry are being or
ganized for duty in France.
only men not of register age
who are over IS years of age and
under Al years Of age are eligible
for voluntary enlistment at army
recruiting offices. Registered men
can only be indicted into the mill
tary service through their local
boards.
Young men who have become 21

congress becomes a law which will
require them to register and then
prohibit them from voluntarily en-
listing in the branch of the army
they prefer"

If Impossible to Attend, He
Will Be Asked to Supply
Speaker for Rally on Wash
ington'S Birthday

Resolutions embodying a request to
President Wilson that he address a
state patriotic convention in Atlanta
on Washington's birthday, February
22nd, and pledging the hearty support of
Fulton county to the government were
unanimously adopted at a mass meeting
of Confederate veterans and other citi-
zens held in the senate chamber at the
capitol Saturday afternoon to commem-.
crate the birthday of General Robert
E. Lee. In the event that President
Wilson finds it impossible to accept the
invitation rendered him. the resolution
asks the president to name speaker
to fill his place on the occasion. ---. s..
More than half the chairs usually oc
cupied by the state senators of Geor-
gia were filled with white-haired SOL
diers of war gone by, in striking con-
trast to the khaki-clad youths of the
Three Hundred Twenty-sixth infantry
band. of Camp Gordon, which furnished
the musical portion of the program.
That contrast was the keynote of
the afternoon. In a short address
which brought veterans and civilians
alike to their feet repeatedly, DR.. NJ.
Ashby Jones, pastor of the Ponce De
Leon Avenue Baptist church, declared
that the duties of the boys In gray are
a heritage to the soldier of 1913 and
that the mantle of Lee, who led his
countrymen to sacrifice for high ideals,
has fallen on the shoulders of Wood

STATES CONVICTS
MAY BE EMPLOYED
TOCUT WOOD FUEL
County Wardens, Commits
SionerS and 0rdinarieS in
State Are Notified by the
Prison Commission

State convicts may be used to cut
wood to supplement the supply of coal
in the present coal fuel shortage, under
an order issued Saturday morning by
the state prison commission, which was
authorized to take such action by ruiz
ing from Attorney General Clifford
Walker.
County wardens, commissioners and
ordinaries throughout the state have
been notified by the prison commission
of its action in the premises and, wher-
ever necessity demands, convict gangs
may be put to work without delay con-
verting standing timber into fuel for
the relief of sufferers from the fuel
shortage.
The order of the prison commission
reads in part as follows:
1.-THE attorney general having advis-
ed that when a state of war exists and
there follows from such condition fall
ure of the ordinary fuel supply, result
ing in a fuel famine and subjecting the
people of the county to cold, suffering
and danger of disease and death, that
the authorities may legally employ its
convicts in supplying wood without
charge to paupers and with charge, not
exceeding the market prices, to others,
the proceeds to be applied to the ex-
pense of maintaining the convicts.
Under this the county authorities
may use their discretion in using the
convict forces to relieve an emergency
in view of the shortage by cutting wood
and disposing of IL, thereby relieving
such suffering as may exist either IN
giving it free to people unable to pay
for same, or charging fair market value
to others and using proceeds for main
tanning the convicts while engaged in
the work.
The use of convicts to relieve the coal
situation was brought to the attention
of the attorney general by Chairman
r. E. Davidson, of the state prison COM
mission. who asked Mr.. Walker to pre-
mare an opinion as TO the legality of
such action. Governor Dorsey had pre-
viously requested the prison commits
sion to obtain such a ruling from the
attorney general and to formulate such
rules as might be necessary in the event
the opinion was favorable to the plan.
The governor following the issuance
of Mr.. Walkers ruling, indicated in his
latter TO Judge Davidson that the ofil-
cials of the Soldiers Home, near Allan
"a. have offered 100 cords of wood for the
relief of the public If convict labor can
ne used TO cut il. In view of this TACT,
Governor Dorsey stated that the wood
s,,nnlv contracted for the capitol would
he turned over TO the public, II por-
ton of the 100 cords at the soldiers
Home. could be secured to replace IL as
necessity demanded.
