WHAT RED
is DOING in THE
TRAINING CAMPS
A Tazewell Boy at Camp Lee
Tells of Personal Service
Rendered by The ANGLES of
Mercy" in Ministering to the
Sick Soldiers.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mr.. \. w. Horton, Of Raw
ell, from his brother, who is Il men,
Der Of the National Army, located ut
Camp Lee, where many other Taze-
well boys are stationed. The letter
will be of much interest to the peo-
pie of this section:
Camp Lee, Va, Feb. ~, 1918.
My Dear Brother:
You asked me to write you some
thing about what the Red Cross is
doing here in Camp Lee. l have visit
ed sick friends at the hospital here
frequently and have had II good op-
portunity of seeing the Red Cross ut
work.
To one who has stood as | have
and watched one of those nurses 60
ing down long rows of cots filled with
stricken and helpless boys, dressing
ugly surgical wounds, propping up
the head of some poor fellow who is
MT breathing easily, or smoothing
out bed that has become uncomfort-
able, and doing it as carefully and
tenderly rs his mother or sister pos
sibly could, it is inconceivable that
any one could be so ignorant or ma
licious as to propagate such lies us
you mention being circulated. A man
from your county who has undergone
severe illness mt the hospital here
said that it would not be healthy for
anybody to make Il disrcspectful re-
mark about Red Cross nurse in his
presence.
But the Red Cross work does not
stop with caring for the sick. 1t
maintains n field manager and staff
of workers here, as in all the other
camps. Through this organization IL
soldier may secure expert assistance
in practically any problem that may
arise. For instance he may make an
allotment to his folks at home and it
is slow in reaching them. lie can
take it up with these Red Cross work
ers and have it attended to at once,
and if the homcfolks must have mon
ey before the allotment can reach
them they will see that they get it.
Or perhaps his family is about to be
been paid. | have been told of num-
ber of cases where the van had al
ready driven up to haul the furniture
away, when Red Cross worker APP
peared and hung up IL sign: This is
n home of n soldier" and ordered the
driver away. Or again, perhaps the
soldier gets telegram that his child
is dying. "come ut once" Possibly he
hasn't cent, (this is the normal con-
dition of a soldier.) The Red Cross
organization in his camp will see that
he gets the money to go home on.
These are only few of the things
that the Red Cross does for the SOL
dier at home and in the camp. To us
it is comforting thought that when
we go out to moet the great test
cover there" behind the soldier of
death and pitilessness will advance
the soldier of life and mercy, loving
and tender still.
Your brother,
CORP. j. C. HORTON.
Co c., 318th Infantry.

a letter from Lewiston, Utah, un-
der date of February 28th, says:
Editor the News: Please find en-
closed my check for three dollars. l
am owing you for one year last Sep
tember and this will pay for the pa
per until September, 1918. see you
are advocating more crops and better
ones for the coming year; | think
you had better keep up that "Sow
More Alfalfa," and follow it with po-
tatocs, corn and wheat in regular ro-
tation. You have quit preaching al
falfa. a. 2. Litz had nice field of
alfalfa by his barn in Tazewell, as
good as we see in the West.
Does your alfalfa get killed in the
winter? l have not heard much of
it this year.
or course the war is occupying
much space, but we all must still eat.
If your alfalfa kills in winter plant
in potatoes first, corn next and wheat
next. You should get many good
crops without fertilizer.
Yours truly,
LEONARD Z. LITZ.

LEFT NEEL NAMED SUpERIN-
TENDENT COUNTY FARM.

Mr.. Left Neel, we'll known citizen
of North Tnzewcll, was elected on
Wednesday Superintendent of the
County Poor Farm in place of John
f. McGraw, resigned. MIR. Neel will
take charge of the place ut once. The
Board also increased the salary of the
Superintendent from $500 to $500 per
annum, but withdrew the privileges OF
disposing of chickens, eggs, butter
lsed OH the farm. Heretofore
this privilege has nctted good sum
to the Superintendent in addition to
the salary.
The Board has also required the
Superintcndcnt-clcc to enter into II
contract to give his entire time to the
management of the farm.
Mr.. T.. X. Crockett, Supervisor
from Clear Fork district, opposed
Ncel and voted for Electa Hayes, of
Mud Fork, whom he thought would
discharge the duties of the office more
efficiently than any other who might
be named. Mr.. Crockett was of the
opinion that Mr.. Neel's various enter
prises would consume so much OF his
time that he could not give the fnrn
the proper attention.

W. G. Il. U. MEETS IN PRESBYTE
IAN CiIURCH.

The Tazewell w. C. T. u. had n
meeting of unusual interest I'm the
Presbyterian church Tuesday after
noon. Mrs. John st. Clair led the de-
votional exercises. An interesting pro-
gram had bsen prepared by Mrs. C.
w. Jones.
The President, Mrs. w. G. O'Brien,
presented matters of Importance, the
most noteworthy of which was the pc
tition for the prohibition of the man
ufacturc of beer and vnous liquors
until the close of the war. In consid-
Grafton of the facts that seventy mil
lion pounds OF sugar ARE used annual
ly in the production OF beer that the
bread for eight million people could
be made from the barley used in the
manufacture of beer each year and
that the closing of the hrewerles
would release three thousand trains n
day, this appeal to our President and
lawmakers is of vital Importance.
The petition will be presented to
the citizens of Tazcwell and will be
signed by every person who is true
patriot. The county convention of
the w. G. II. u. will be held i'm Taze-
well in April, the date to he announc-
ed later.
Mrs. w. G. O'Brien is president of
this convention. Her earnest cnthu-
siasm has quickencd the interest OF
the women Of our section in the tenn
pcrance cause.
She speaks for large attendance
at the county meeting

WILL YOU BE ONE OF THEM.

A 100000 War Savings Society
is being organized in TaZcwell coun-
ty.
Virginia is asked to buy forty mil
lion dollars worth of War Savings
Stamps and certificates. TaZcwell
county is asked to buy seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars worth ns
her pro-rata of that amount. 1t is
believed that there are at least five
hundred men and women in this coun-
ty who are willing to pledge them
selves to buy not less than $4,000
worth of these stamps during the
year 1918.
This proposition is being put direct
ly up to the farmers, the business and
the professional men in the county,
and the cooperation of the coal
companies has been asked in plac-
can buy on the installment plan,' pay
ing small sum each month out of
their wages.
1t is good investment. The mon
ey is used for your benefit in winning
the war and on the first day of Janu-
airy 1923 the Federal government will
hand your principal back in full with
interest at the rate of nearly Az pei
cent, free from all taxation, both
state and federal, except surtaxes
which makes it nearly n per cent
investment. This is one time in which
you can use your money for your own
protection and at the same time re-
ceive interest on it, case of EAT
ing your pie and keeping it too
There are few men in the county who
are not able to become members OF
this S50,000.00 Savings Society, do
ing their part in supporting our sol.
diers who are now in France, anC
those who will soon cross the seas t.
fight for the preservation of the lib,
critics of our beloved country.
"Peace is not so sweet as to be pur
chased at the price of chains ant
slavery"
Don't let the returning soldiers
from France, look you in the fac'
and charge you with being n "Sl.ck
err" Do your part here il you can
not fight in this war for the freedom
: of the world.

near by. With the band leading
with the company fifty-odd strong
with rifles, bayonets, belts, ETC., the
parade will be down main street and
it is hoped will be as good n showing
as the SPECTACULAR celebration here or
last fourth of July.
Mr.. Slemp will arrive in the morn
ing from Washington and will have Il
message that every man, woman and
child in the county should hear. He
has been loyal to President Wilson
and the administration in the war
measures that have come up in con-
gress, and the people generally feel
grateful to him for this service. He
is not coming to Tazewell as the Re-
publican candidate for Congress, but
as an American citizen, willing to do
all possible to win the war for free
dom.
An effort will be made to have the
stores observe holiday at least part of
the day Saturday.
Make your arrangements to come
to the meeting on the 30th and help
in arousing the people to the serious
ness of the situation we are now fac
ing in respect to the prosecution of
the war.

America is made up of 100,000,O00

1t has been well said that God does

You are America to the extent of

America must put forth every

but America will fail to do this to the
extent that any single individual fails
to do his or her part fully.
Viewed from this angle, are you
truly an American or are you merely
n hangcr-on, shouting perhaps with
the crowd, but doing no real effective
service in this, the greatest crisis
since mans creation.

SUGGESTED CHANGES IN THE
COUNTY FARM POLICY.

Editor tn News:
For more than twenty years have
, felt that sdme changes should be
made in the policy of managing and
conducting the County Farm. After
consulting with Mr.. McGraw as to
what changes he would suggest, bns-
ed on his long experience rs mana
ger of the farm, | have decided to
call attention of those in charge to
these changes, some of which have
been suggested by the retiring Su-
perintendent
1st. The purpose of the purchase
and equipment of the County farm is
to furnish u home for the Worthy
and the Unworthy, who have no other
means of support.
from the County Farm should be paid
into the County Treasury for other
purposes until the needy on the farm
are provided for.
3rd. There is imperative need for
the erection of such other buildings
on the farm as will enable the Su-
perintendent to keep victims Of tu-
berculosis and other contagious dis
eases entirely separated from others;
that will provide quiet and comfort
for the old people, restrictions for the
immoral and better sanitary condi-
tions for all.
In order that these suggestions and
other necessary measures may be in
telligently presented to the Board of
Supervisors suggest that said Board
at its meet meeting, appoint COM
mittee to examine and report to the
Board it's recommendations for the
guidance of the Board in any chang
es and improvements that ought to be
made. further suggest that at least
three men and two women should be
named on that committee, and that
one of the male members be ply
sician.
While we are looking faithfully to
the interests of our present soldiers
and their dependents. let us not for
get the worthy old veterans in the
battle of life who frequently find n
home on the County Farm, who thru
misfortune have been deprived of the
means of support.
