YOU. MRS. HOUSEWIFE,
ARE YOU AIDING NURSES
You. Mrs. Everybody, How Many
Nurses Do You Numbe mOng
Your Acquaintance

Have you Done all in your power
to make the survey of nurses now be-
ing carried on by the Government
through the Red Cross a success Or
have you said to yourself-or worst,
to others-"This doesn't concern me,
/ am not a nurse" No, YOU may not
be nurse but your not being one does
not relieve you of one whit of the re-
sponsibility of your share in the sur
vey And you have got share which
concerns you and your community
very vitality.
The government has asked that all
nurses, graduate, undergraduate. and
practical, urses-in-training and all
those women who have taken Red
survey, so that the crying need for
nurses may be met with all possible
speed There are questionnaires to be
filled out by each nurse, which can be
obtained from the local Chapter of the
Red Cross.
You, Mrs. Housekeeper, are you
renting rooms TO nurses during their
rest days Do your bit by getting in
a supply of questionnaires and asking
the nurses in your house to fill them
out.
And you, Mrs. Boarding House, how
many nurses drop in for dinner Dur
ing the survey get the habit of asking
each nurse if she has responded. and
if not. put QUESTIONABLE under her
plate and see that she leaves ii with
you-signed
How about you, Mr.. Druggist Many
nurses come daily into your shop. Ask
them to support the Red Cross in this
movement and have the question
naire ready for them.
You, too, Mr.. and Mrs. Everybody,
how many nurses do you number
among your friends and acqauint-
ances. Make point of seeing them
all as your part in the world war, and
as your duty as patriots.
Have you nurse in your home sim
ply looking after the general health
of the family Let her answer the
call of her country; for that call is
coming loud and clear not only for
nurses to go abroad but for nurses to
hold in their safe-keeping the gen
eral health of the civilian population.
Go, everyone of you, to your Red
Cross Chapter, get supply of ques-
tionnaires and see how many re-
ponses you can get today

quaintance, formerly a New York
newspaper man. The latter tried TO
induce Father Duffy to tell some of his
experiences under fire of interest to
his friends in Manhattan, but the

cred a more important matter to dis
cuss. In mentioning that the Liberty

respondent asked Father Duffy what

work of the Y NJ. c. A. in France.
Il do not know what we would do
without it," answered Father Duffy.
promptly. MY observation of the
work of the Y. NJ. C. A. has been that
it is wonderfully efficient. Its co-or-
dination with other war work is be-
yond criticism. Every American
should give it financial and moral sup

Chaplain Duffy voiced the spirit of

FOOD PROBLEM WILL
LAST UNTIL AFTER WAR
Program Announced BY Herbert
Hoover For Next Year
Important One
MUST PROVIDE FOODS

Just as the Maryland Food Admin.
istration advised the public to suspect
rumors of enemy collapse as possible
traps set by the foe, ii now urges that
even well-substantiated prophecies of
the cessation of hostilities be regarded
only as milestones on Americas trium-
phal path and by no means as the
goal Even the advent of peace itself
will not straightway solve this nations
food problems.
The program announced by Herbert
Hoover for next year provides for an
increase of 5,730000 tons in the
amount of foodstufs we are to ship TO
Europe. Though the figures were
based on the assumption that active
warfare would continue. our task can
not be materially lightened even
though the foe lays down his arms.
The food shortage will not end till two
Things come to pass.
First millions of fighting men who
are now consumers must become pro-
ducers' again and the world have time
TO harvest the crops they SOW.
the transport of troops and munitions
must be returned to the ordinary
routes of commerce.
Whenever peace does come, the task
of Tepatriating the Allied forces will
be gigantic. 1t may be expected that
the short hauls" will be the first I'M
dertaken that is, General Allenby's
Dol
to India, while the Saloniki contin-
gents will be shipped TO Naples and
Marseilles The British Army TO a
large extent, may cross the Channel in
men-ofwar. but as for the Canadians
and observation-disclosures million of
them-passenger ships will be needed
to carry them to their homes. AS most
OF these have seen three or four years
service, the u. S. A., despite its i'm
patience to have its own boys back,
will no doubt generously yield to their
prior claim upon the transportation
facilities 1t may be added that the
majority of our troops were either
carried or conveyed by the ships of
our allies.
OF our sammies, a popular song de-
clared They won't come back till it's
over, ever there" 1t is highly prob
able that they will remain abroad till
the final settlement is affected. Thus
it will be many months before we
shall see Business as Usual.
Then too the declaration of peace
will bring to us the necessity of pro-
viding food stuffs for additional starv-
ing millions in Central Europe. Not
only will Germany be herself a custo-
mer in the food markets of the world,
but we shall find it necessary to sup
ply food to starving Poland, certain
regions in Russia, and the thousands
if not millions of Germany's subject
people There is every prospect there
fore that the declaration of peace will
leave still tremendous shortage in
the worlds food supplies which Amer
lea must largely make up for her own
reserves.
Whatever happens, whether peace
comes of whether war continues, our
food supply for another year and prob
ably for two years, must undergo the
most serious drain in our history.
America must learn to conserve food,
to use it wisely, to waste nothing, or
otherwise large portions of the civil
liked population of the world will
suffer the pangs of famine.

THE STATE OF FRANKLIN
An Inquiry Recalls the Secession Led
By John Sewer

A correspondent to the New York
Sun opens up an interesting field of in
quiry when he wrote that paper:
Will you kindly inform me what
States have had two capitals, or have
two capitals at the present time? Also
the general location of the State of
Franklin, who the first Governor was
and when he was inaugurated and held
office.
From 1776 until 1884 the territory
that is now Tennessee was part of
North Carolina, but the ownership of
these 30,000,000 acres put upon North
Carolina the burden of a larger part
of the Federal debt than she felt able
to bear. In 1884 North Carolina coded
to the general Government all the
Tennessee territory on condition that
the Government accept the cession
within two years, the land meanwhile
to be under the sovereignty of North
Carolina.
The settlers of eastern Tennessee,
led by John Sewer, pioneer and sol
der, were piqued at being handed over
without their consent, and they held
meeting at Jonesboro on August %,
1884, and formed the State of Frank
lin. or Frankland-it is curious that
American historians do not agree on
the name. A provisional government
was formed and Sewer was chosen
Governor in March, 1855. fractional
quarrels soon appeared in the new
as delegate to Congress, but he was
not seated A party favorable to North
Carolina and led by Colonel Upton
sent a delegate to the North Carolina
Legislature. Franklin presently had
two sets of civil officers and the pros
pect of a civil officers war. There
was a clash between the armed forces
of Sewer and Upton. and the former
was sent to prison.
North Carolina passed an act of
oblivion, the State of Franklin ceased
to exist, the Federal Government took
over the region under the title of 1.-THE
territory south of the Ohio River" and
Sewer, who had been released from
prison, took the oath of allegiance to
the United States and was made Brig
adier-Generale of the section In 1890
he was sent to Congress as the first
representative from the valley of the
Mississippi. In 1896, when the terri
tory was admitted to the Union as the
State of Tennessee, Sewer was its
first Governor, and he was twice re-
elected In 1911 he was again sent to
Congress, and he was a Representa-
tive at his death, in 1915
Virginia was so alarmed by the ac-
ton of the men of the State of Frank
! lin that she passed a law subjecting
to the penalties of treason any per-
son who should attempt to erect new
State in any part of her territory with
out permission of the Assembly.
/ Rhode Island had two capitals,
/ Providence and Newport, but Newport
has not been used since 1900. Con-
necticut had two capitals, Hartford

BLUE TRIANGLE
OVER IN FRANCE
Work Does Not Lack Excitement For
Those Interested In

According to one Blue Triangle girl
the life of Y w. c. A. worker in
France is by no means lacking in ex-
citment
To-day, we had our first taste of an
air raid. The Siren sounded about
1880, announcing that enemy planes
were headed for Paris. The barrage
from the anti-craft guns was quite
indistinct here in our part of the city,
but more evident elsewhere. Some
damage was done outside the city; but
they didn't get over the city limits.
We waited downstairs in the Abri,
place for safety, until 12:45, when the
bells sounded all is we'll Here, every
body has become more or less accus-
toned to these raids, and pay little or
no attention to them. Moonlight nights
are, of course, the season for raids.
every fifteen minutes for hours at
time; but even that created little i'm
preston.
I'VE have working centers in some
of the largest factories, and recently
we heard that the men workers have
asked for foyers like those we provide
for the women. New towns are ask
ing us to open work and there is no
question that we can do more than we
have workers for One of the promi-
nent artists here has just done a won
derful poster for us, scene in an am
munition plant, where. three girls are
handling the molten shells with the
light of the furnaces in their faces,
while through a window at the back
of the room one sees the entrance of
our Foyer des Allies" with the
French and American flags on either
side, and girls streaming through the
door.
"As / write this, a accommodating
party of German planes is passing
overhead, and there are innumerable
little puffs of smoke from falling
shrapnel; but everyone goes about his
or her business without paying the
slightest attention. Air guns got busy
and soon all trace of the enemy dis
appeared"

THE SCOUTS AND THE
FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

President Wilson's letter to the Boy
Scouts of America will be a challenge
to the best effort of every Scout and
Scout official. says Boys Life for Oc-
tober. He makes clear that the serv-
ice rendered by Scouts is greatly APP
preciated by the whole nation and
that the whole nation is proud OF
them.
Scouts. we must each do our part If
we live up to the reputation we have
established We can only do this by
playing the game according to the
rules. under the leadership of our
scoutmasters and local council Off
Gals
The plans for the fourth campaign
are somewhat different. Each local
Liberty Loan Committee determines
what will be the best form of service
the Scouts can render The Scouts
part is to take cheerfully the assign
ment made and do his best. This is
just how the soldier boys are doing
their best in France.
With the same devotion shown in
previous campaigns, there is no doubt
but what the record of achievement
for the fourth campaign will be much
larger. The records show that in the
three campaigns. the Boy Scouts have
secured one out of every twenty-three
subscriptions obtained from all
sources combined. We must keep up
this ratio. The fourth loan is to be for
a large amount This means hard
work Let's pull together for the best
possible results
