red CROSS 10 collect
Clothing FOR BELGIUM
Hoover Asks Davson's Aid In Work
Of Relief

Beginning March IS and ending
March 25, seven day, nationwide
campaign will be carried on by the
American Red Cross and the
commission for Relief in Bel
GUM to secure minimum
quantity Of 5000 tons of clothes
for the destitute people of Belgium
and the occupied portions Of Northern
france. At the request of Herbert
Hoover, chairman of the Commission
Tor Relief in Belgium, Henry P. Davi-
son, chairman of the Red Cross War
Council, has granted the use of the ma
tional Red Cross organization for col
lectng the needed clothing
AS the commission has allowed most
OF It's local committees to disband be-
cause Of the financial arrangements
made last June with the government,
it has turned to the Red Cross for
help. Where the local committees Of
the Relief Commission are still intact,
they will work side by side with the
Red Cross Chapters.
The practically entire exhaustion OF
clothing, shoes, and leather in occupied
Belgium and Northern France and the
shortage of these necessities in the
worlds markets are making it In
creasingly difficult for the Commission
to keep clothed and shod the unfortun-
ate people in these territories. In adj
dition to new material, gifts Of used
and surplus clothing, shoes, blankets,
6qnna1
quantities from the people Of the Unit
ed States.
The donations will be shipped at
once to the Atlantic seaboard and sent
overseas for distribution.

Leaders in Rural Life.

The responsibility for good farm
ing and progressive citizenship rest
ing upon us is greater than most of
us believe. Not only does every
farmer have the responsibilities of
managing his farm in a profitable
manner, supporting his own family,
thus giving his wife and children
the necessities and the comforts of
life, but there is also an additional
responsibility resting upon the head
of the family, that of neighborbood
interest. We do, not live to our
selves, neither do we die to our
selves. Good or bad our influence
will live after US.
There are young men and young
women in every neighborhood
whose characters are being formed.
Some of them will be influenced by
you; r:any of them will adopt prin-
ciples of condCct, methods of farm
management and community interest
which you practice and which
may have been an asset or a liabili-
ty to your success.
There are always striking charac-
ters in the community. There at
the same time those who make very
little impression upon others. The
leaders for progress are more res
ponsible than others, yet those who
oppose advancement from selfish
motive or from antiquated ideas of
farming have their friends asso.
ciates.
The problem is not divide the
neighborhood 80 that the side that
prevails in any contest for improve
ment loses influence and prestige,
but to unite upon what is best for
the community regardless of selfish
interests and personal Ideals.

Producing the Food.

Whatever may be the result of
withdrawing owners, laborers and
tenants from farms it is not believ-
ed that this will in any way redut e
the demand for farms, nor discour-
age those who are trying to pay for
homes. On the contrary, it is be-
lieved that the greater demand for
food and feed with increasing prices,
will enable many who have hereto
fore been unable to buy and pay for
farms, because of poor marketing
and excessive charges for handling
farmers products, to own farms.
Of one thing we may be sure, that
so long as the country is in such
urgent need of food and feed far
mers will have far greater, opportu-
titles than in the past when they
were in many instances discrlmina-
ted against because they were unor-
ganized and could not take care of
their own interest.
That the people will be required
to pay higher prices for fuods du-
ring the war seems certain. This
is not because farmers are in con-
troll of the markets or the distribu-
ting facilities, but because supply
and demand, when not interfered
with by price fixing and embargoes,
make it necessary.
They are profteers and they are
seriously interfering with our war
preparations and discouraging con-
sumption of foods more or less
abundant. But they are not found
on farms. Farmers will be willing
to sacrifice to produce the nations
food and undergo any reasonable
deprivation to hasten our war prep
arations and to cooperate with the
various agencies of the government
to maintain our country at home
while our army and navy help con-
quer the enemy of civilization. All
farmers want is an equal chance
with others in doing their part to
win the war.--Farm and Ranch.

NURSES NEEDED IN
military HOSPITALS
SURGEON General Asks Red Cross To
Supply 5000 Nurses

Surgeon General Gorgas Of the
United States army has called upon
the American Red Cross to supply to
the Army Nurse Corps five thousand
nurses between now and the first OF
June. These nurses are needed for
service in the military hospitals both
in this country and abroad. Although
the Red Cross has already supplied
nearly 1000 nurses as a reserve for
the Army and Navy Nurse Corps since
the beginning Of the war, the impera-
tive need for a greater army of nurses
grows daily as the war progresses.
According to a statement made by
Surgeon General Gorgas, it is estimat-
ed that there are between eighty and
ninety thousand registered nurses in
the United States, and that approxi-
mately thirty thousand will be need
ed for service in army hospitals during
the present year. The immediate need
for five thousand Of these is empha-
sized.
Miss Jane A. Delano, Director of the
Department Of Nursing Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross said:
"Not only are we appealing to the
nurses to volunteer for this service,
but we also appeal to the public and to
the physicians employing these nurses
to aid in making it possible for them,
without too great financial sacrifice
on their part, to hold themselves in
readiness to respond to the call Of
their country. We wish also to bring
to the attention of nurses the unusual
opportunity offered by the insurance
law enacted for the protection Of our
army and navy, which applies equally
to nurses assigned to duty as members
of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
"A great responsibility rests upon
the nurses of the country. They are
the only group of women recognized
as a part of the military establishment,
and should be looked upon as the rep
resentatives Of the womanhood OF
America at the front
"Not only should the other woraen
of the country encourage nurses to
volunteer for service, but they should
make every effort possible to protect
the riurses holding themselves ready
for service and share with them the re.
sponsibility and sacrifices necessary"

GANTEEN SERVICE FOR
SAMM|ES IN france
Red Croes To Serve Boys In The Front
Line Trenches

The American Red Cross has just
arranged to establish with the Ameri-
can troops in France front line con-
teen service similar to that through
which they have served more than
a million poilus with hot drinks during
the last six months, according to a
cable just received by the War Coun-
Gil from Major James H. Perkins, Red
Cross Commissioner to France.
This will consist of rolling canteens
stationed close behind the front line
trenches. There are now fifteen Of
these operating behind the French
lines, from which fifty or more large
receptacles Of hot drinks are sent for
ward daily, usually in the small hours
of the morning. These drinks are
served free to the men going on or
coming off duty.
This service has proven Of such
value to the French that the Ameri-
can army has asked the Red Cross to
have this service directly in touch
with the medical relief stations near
est the front The work Is often done
under heavy shell fire and requires
men Of great bravery and sympathy.
The American army officers are man.
ifesting keen interest in having this
service at the disposal Of the American
troops and have asked the Red Cross
to enlist a substantial number Of men
of the highest caliber to undertake
this work. 1t will be performed at the
point nearest the firing line at which
civilians are permitted.

we should never cease to appreciate
Mai. Lyons cooperation with us in
our observance of Historical day" !"
ard in all our efforts to bring our

est our children in U. D. C. endeav-
or. She complimented the Bald

terms of the entertainment that
they gave on Carolina Day at the

Everlasting Love.

Love is the greatest thing that God
can give us; for himself Is love, and
1t Is the greatest thing we can give
God, for it will give ourselves and car
ry with it all that is ours.
He that can say, Nothing shall sep
arate me from the love Of God In
Christ" will be able to triumph in the
midst Of the greatest tribulations. A
soul that lives under the assurance of
divine favor cannot but bear up patti
emily and quietly under tho greatest
sufferihgs that possibly can befall in
the world. Love should be the SUI
preme thing because it is going to last,
because in the nature of thiags 1t Is
eternal llfe.-Selected.

The Spirit of the Cocker Girls. :"

In this time of struggle, while the
youth Of our nation is fast going to
the front, it behooves US, as citizens,
to do every possible thing for them,
and fol our national welfare. We
have responded to the appeal for
conservation and for Red Cross work.
These things are well and necessary,
but we must do our utmost. For the
help of our allies, and the support
Of our own nation, we have been
called upon to lend our money to
Uncle Sam" in the form of Lib
erty Loan Bonds. There have been
two campaigns for this purpose, and
each time the sum realized has ex-
ceeded the amount asked for.
How, our government has seen fit
to launch a third bond issue for 81
OOO,OOO,OOO. The State of New
York has opened the campaign with
subscriptions amounting to $780,
900, 600, and We feel sure that the
response from the other parts of our
country will not be less generous.
Let rs. both men and women, with
the patriotic and truly American
spirit, lend our prayers and our in.
Auence. as we'll as our money Tor
