SLATON IN ROLE OF PEACE
MAKER, BUT FAILS TO PRE-
VENT NEGRO'S DEATH

Atlanta, Ga, July 13.-After having
narrowly escaped serious injury in his
effort to prevent two negroes from
killing each other, ex-governor John
Nj. Slaton went into the recorder S
court yesterday to aid in clearing one
OF the combatants OF the charge Of
murder.
Despite Mr.. Stations efforts to pre-
vent killing, Paul Jones shot and
killed the other negro; and was ar
raigned for the shooting. The ex-
governors testimony exonerated him
of the murder charge, but he was
bound over for carrying a revolver.

SOME PLACE FOR YOU

There is some place for you to fill,
Some work for you to do,
That no one can or ever will
Do quite as we'll as you.
1t may be close along your way,
Some little, homely duty,
That only waits your touch, your
sway.
To blossom into beauty.
Or it may be that daily tasks,
Cheerfully seen and done,
Will lead to greater work that asks
For you, and you alone
Be brave, whatever it may be,
The little or the great,
To meet and do it perfectly,
And you have conquered fate.
Selected.

Maryland and Ohio troops were
snuffed out by American fire while
crossing No Mans land and after a

When Texans were wildly demand

of the Houston Post, sent a dispatch
to his paper which it is just as well
to quote. He said:
EVERY time this rumor has APP

troops from the state or city in which
it is given currency. General March
said that not only is there no evil
dence that several hundred men OF
the seth division. which contains
hundreds of Texans, were killed by a
misplaced barrage fire, but he was
equally emphatic in his statement
that the reports from General Perish

sketching of the movement and fight

disclose that at any time on any bat

barrage fire cost the lives Of large
number of American soldiers.

THE KIDS OF TODAY

To many middle aged man these
days 1t has occurred that the date Of
his birth was unwisely selected. The
date was important for It. fixed the
time when he was young. the forties
and fifties. The last twenty years was
a better time to be young In than the
seventies and eighties. There were
more bugles and drums In the air,
more pan pipes In the COUNTRY. more
Pied Pipers in the town, more excite
ment and noise than In the preceding
hundred years. Critical. stirring times
are best to be young In. They are times
when things are done and done right.
So the middle aged man can justly re-
gret that he Is not one Of the kids of
today.
Most of the old timers had a drab
boyhood. Marbles and tops, three hole
cat, and Oliver Optic, interrupted by
trip to the old swimmin' hole or the
boat house by the lake, were about
all the excitement the times furnished.
But the kids of today find things diff

The troop ship that sank with all

rowing tales which have caused great
anxiety to relatives of soldiers and
which the war and navy department
officials have denied as soon as they
heard of it. Another is the story of
the misplaced barrage" which has
caused the death of several hundred,
sometimes several thousand, brave
American boys.

The kids Of today have hand and are

RED CROSS ACTIVITIES
Contributed by
MISS LOUISE AVER,
Secretary Olympia Chapter.

Under the active leadership OF
your new chairman, the Thurston
County Red Cross is being licked
into shape for much greater work
than it has done heretofore. The
old organization was ample for its
purposes and did effective work. but
was entirely inadequate to handle
five thousand or more members such
as we now have. The various de-
partments will stand practically as
before, but are being subdivided to
relieve the burden on individuals
which had become intolerable in
some instances.
Perhaps the most important
change is in the management of the
auxiliary sewing. So many new
auxiliaries have been formed recent
ly that headquarters are swamped
and delay and confusion resulted.
Now Mrs. George w. Ingham, here
tofore director of sewing, will devote
all her time to handling the auxiliary
work. The auxiliaries in both the
city and country are doing a great
majority of the work now, and it is
hoped their splendid enthusiasm will
not need to be damped by lack of
materials.
The office of supervisor of hospital
supply department is now filled by

Mrs. II. NJ. Pierce. Mrs. Mills, who
organized the chapter and has man
aged this department since its incep-
ton, has been obliged to take a va
cation and will not resume work for
some months.
1t is quite time these women who
have been the pioneers in Red Cross
work here should be allowed to rest,
and other women should put on the
harness. From this time on the work
will be steady grind, but the ha-
RAISING features attendant ON start

ers were as unfamiliar as the assist

1t is nearly year since the organ

that time some women have not
spent day without doing some Red
Cross work. Most of them have
homes and children, and very few
any help. Think of it, you who give
part of day week, or knit a
sweater!
1t has probably been necessary
heretofore that some should do more
than their share, while waiting for
the rest of the community to learn
the need and value of this work. But
now to the remotest corner of this
county information concerning this
terrible war has gone, and no one is
ignorant of his or her duty. And
my profound belief that the people
of this community were not slackers,
but merely needed to know. is being
justified every day by enlistments in
