/ Everyday the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh
hold upon our thought and purpose
and make it clearer whst the end
must be, and what We must be and
what we must be to achieve it. We
now know more certainly than We
ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and gov
eminent we love into existence.
Daily it grows clearer and clearer
what supreme service IS americas
in helping free the world from the
hands of autocracy and militarism.
On October 18th, the 426th ami
versary of the discovery of America
viii be commemorated. This ami
versary must therefore have for us
lin this fateful year a peculiar and
thrilling significance. With nearly
100000 soldiers on foreign soil and.
preparations being made for the
training Of 100000 more soldiers.
Che great responsibility that rests on
the people, in caring for this great
number, must be realized. We should
make this anniversary a day of ar
dent dedication to the ideals upon
which our government is founded and
By which our present heroic tasks.
are inspired.
Our government is calling for us
to, lend our money and our response
to the Fourth Liberty Loan should
express our measure of devotion to
the ideals which have guided the
country from its discovery until now,
and show our determined purpose to-
defend and guarantee their triumph.
Now therefore, I, WILLIAM H.
SULLIVAN, Mayor of the City of
Bogalusa, Louisiana, do hereby APP
point Saturday, Otober 18th, 1915.

GOD BLESS THE RED CROSS.

During the epidemic of Spanish
Influenza which has caused so much
misery in our county the Red Cross
has come to the rescue Of many FAM
lies who, for various reasons, were
unable to help themselves. In so far
as was humanity possible, it has fur.
nIshed them with nurses, medicine and
nourishment.
AS soon as it became apparent that
conditions were becoming serious the
Home Service Department and the
bureau OF Nursing organized Tor i'm
mediate action. As chairman of the
latter committee, Mrs. R. D. Clark
did notable work. Not only did she
get in touch with all available nurses
ana undergraduate nurses, placing
them where they were most needed, but
she personally visited dozens of fami-
lies in every part Of the county who
are appreciative of the timely assist
ance which she gave them. Many pa
tlents owe their recovery to her en-
ergy and care.
Miss Corinne Barfieid was placed in
charge of the field work Of the Home
Service Department. This work con-
sisted of the organization of Home
Service committees in places where
none existed, and placing of the chap
ter resources at the command of those
already organized. These committees
have done noble service in helping dis
tressed families to find doctors, in
feeding the sick and doing whatever
else was possible to help.
A diet kitchen was Organized here
with Miss Jessie Mclean as the eff
cient manager. Miss Lucie Wingard
acted as secretary. Both these ladies
and their numerous assistants did
splendid service. The fact that their
list increased by SO much as fifty
from one meal to the next did not dis
courage them and an ample supply of
well prepared nourishment was al
ways ready at the proper time.
me Motor Corps, organized by Miss
MINNIE Sue Sauls, delivered the nour-
ishment three times a day The men,
bers of this corps were faithful and
gave cheerful service under the most
trying circumstances, They also fur
nlshed cars for the use of the Home
Service workers on emergency trips.
AS an instance Of their untirinr
service, one member delivered SOUP
TOR the chain gang each day.
!, we have mentioned only few of
the names of those who helped in
these trying times, as it is impossible
to ascertain the names of all who as
sisted. The splendid work that was
done could not have been accomplish
cd had not dozens of people cheerfully
contributed of their service or their
substance
This has been to all of us a splen-
did example of what this wonderful
organization can and will do in times
OF distress, and more than ever be-
fore we understand why we should
support it to the utmost.

So we found when we checked up
that out of platoon of forty-four

but we were now determined to 20 on

the situation myself and the COM

we had no support on either flank. At

into an enemy barrage which was in

PROCLAMATION

At no time in the history of our
country has the menace of fire been
greater and the preservation of our
resources more necessary. Activities 5
OF hostile incendiaries threaten in
N?nv parts of the country, causing
destruction of needed supplies of food
stuffs and other vital staples. These
fires will strike at the foundation of
national power and wealth by the
elimination of resources.
FIRE causes enormous direct de-
struction of cotton, lumber, grain and
other foodstuffs, as well as a large
quantity of other materials essentia!
to the prosecution of the war. Fire
"ripples productive industry engage |
upon war orders to far greater ex-
tent than is generally realized.
While causing vast impairment in
America S fighting efficiency, fire
loss is, in the main, unnecessary. The
loss can, be materially lessened if
eacn citizen will do his part towards
seeing nat precautionary measures
are adopted for his premises. The
burning OF your property through
negligence or carelcssness may not
only cause you loss and Inconvenience
but the fire may spread to your
neighbor's property also. Fire pre-
vention, therefore, becomes a patri-
otic duty of every citizen. The CO.
operation of newspapers, civic bodies,
and particularly school systems, will
contribute powerfully to this end. The
annual loss by fire in the state of
South Carolina is Approximately One
Million, Two Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Dollars.
In view of the Importance of the
matter, and as means of arousing
our citizens to the magnitude of the
fire waste and induce them to take
more interest in the subject of fire
prevention, /, Richard / Manning.
Governor of the State, 10y virtue of
authority in me vested, do hereby
designate and proclaim
.r. Saturday, November 2, 1918
as
FIRE PREVENTION DAY
and urge that on this day all citizens
inspect their property and give per-
sonal attention to the removal there
from Of all rubbish and debris; that
chimneys, flues and heating appar-
atus be put in order; that the mayor
of each town and city by proclama-
tion ask the cooperation Of its citizens
in having a thorough inspection of all
pi Cn!IocS III CHeiT respective munlcl-
palitles, to the end that the number of
fires may be lesscned, and the losses
thercfrom checked.
In testimony whereof | have here
