Each soldier 'over there" Is to be
allowed n Christmas package from
home, and only one. Here is a small,
waterproof portfolio containing a
writing tablet, envelopes and a pencil.
The donor might slip a few unmounted
photographs in it, too. 1t is made
of a long strip of black oilcloth folded
up ut the ends and machine stitched
down to form the pockets. An extra
row OF machine stitching across one
end makes a casing for the pencil.
The portfolio is shown closed at the
top OF the picture. With oil colors
bright roses or the flags of the allies
or figures clad in khaki are painted on
these portfolios. I

Red Cross Notes
(BY W. L. Noelll

Huntingdon chapter made its first
shipment of hospital supplies for our
soldiers on the 9th inst. consisting of
the following:
sos abdominal bandages, 545 four
tailed bandages, 100 pairs heavy
WOODEN sox. Another large shipment
will go forward next week.
When you want to see the busiest
place in Huntingdon, drop in any
afternoon at the Red Cross work
room. You will be surprised at the
vast amount of work being done for
the soldier boys by the best bunch
of women in the world. This work
room is the best equipped of any in
West Tennessee except Memphis.
The chapter is under many obliga-
tons to Mr.. Neal A. Pickett, of Ark
ansas City, Kansas, for the splendid
rooms which he has donated free of
charge until the close Of the war.
The Red Cross telephone is No. 1923

Hog Survey

We are called upon to increase our
hog production Is per cent this year
and to do this quick action is neces-
sary According to County Agricul-
tural Agent, c. H. Moody, the quick
est way to restock the county with
hogs is to stop Strengthening and ship
ping brood sows out of the county.
Many farmers have a surplus Of
sows and are selling them while a
large number of families have no hogs
and would like to raise some this
year,
In order to get the prospective
buyer and seller together hog sur
vey of the county will be made next
week beginning Jan. IA. An effort
will be made to list every person who
has sows for sale and all who wish
to buy one or more. When a worker
reaches your community, you can
help by assisting HIM IN securing TINS
information There is no law to pre-
vent a man from selling off brood
sows. If he has more than he can
well care for he should sell them;
but all Of us should try to see that
they are kept in the county and plac-
ed in the hands of those who want
and need them. Let US all plan to
raise our own meat this year If
you have no hogs buy a SOW. If you
have not the money, see your banker.
The banks are cooperating in lend
ing money at low rate Of interest
for the purchase Of brood sows. If
you don't know where to buy one see
or write your county agent.

R S, Younger and family spent

Principal Z. H. Harrell received
a letter last week from DR., A. w

educa ION of the NJ. Z. church,
stating that that board would APP

vi led the local constituency and
board Of trustees would raise a
like amount, carry on a frst-class
high school with departments Of
agriculture and home economics,
and run the school without deficit.
With the aid of the annual confer
ence here last October this com
munity has raised in cash and good
subscriptions, more than Sl,100
for our school. Mrs. E. Fl. Har-
reIl has been employed as teacher
of home economics, and DR.. Har-
ris has been notified that the con-
ditions have all been met. Mrs.
Harrell will begin work next week.
Prof. Harry V. Young is begin

up great interest. There are now
eight new teachers in all the de-
partments, and the school is doing

No tuition is required of Carroll
county pupils under 81, except for
music and penmanship.

INCREASE IN PRICE

After due elaboration we have
decided to increase the price of the
Carroll County Democrat to $1.50
year. We have been forced to
do this largely on account of
the high price of everything else.
The change is made strictly as a
business proposition. and we have
no apologies to offer for so doing.
We recognize the fact that there
will be some who will not be viii
ling to stand for the advance in
the price. or course this is their
privilege. All such subscribers
are requested to pay up what they
owe, il they are due anything, and
order the paper discontinued.
There will be some, of course, who
will throw the paper back in the
postofiice and have it marked re-
fused" and also refuse to pay
what is due on it, There are peo-
pie built that way, and it is pos
sible we are carrying some on our
list of subscribers.
We are forced to believe that a
large percent of our subscribers
will appreciate the business of our
demand and meet it promptly and
cordially.
Nearly all of the papers of the
country have advanced their price
and their patrons have offered very
little complaint. In fact, the ma.
jority of them have expressed a
surprise that so few ordered their
papers stopped on account of the
increase in price.
Between this and February Is,
anyonedesiring t. do so can advance
his subscription to the Democrat
as many years in the future as he
may desire at the old rate. Some
have already placed their subscrip-
tons from one to three years in
advance.
If, however, you do not want
the paper at the increased price,
pay what you owe and notify US
accordingly.

no truth in the story that sweaters,
socks and other articles made for the
Red Cross are being sold either in
shops or direct to the soldiers. If
any Red Cross chapter or individual
were proven guilty of this, the chap
ter would lose its charter and the in

will confer favor on the Red Cross
if you will report promptly the name

may hear circulating such false re-
ports about the Red Cross.
When your boy gets to France
he will find the Red Cross his best
friend "overthere" and some day
when he is brought into the hospital

THE ARMY AT HOME

There is an unschooled army at
home that will win this war with
Germany and her allies. 1t is an
army without experience, without
guns, without uniforms AN army
that will never march in line, will
never fire a shot, and will never
see a battle, yet it is this army that
will win.
President Wilson cannot win the
victory, nor can Gen. Pershing,
nor the cabinet, nor the boys in
France and the boys anxious to
join them.
It is the army of workers that is
destined to perform herculean eff
forts home.
There is the man of business,
the man on the farm, the man in
the mill, the man in the factory,
the woman who is developing her
abilities with wondrous rapidity.
There is the young man not of
draft age who will be called upon
to do his part at home. There is
the man in every branch of the
ever. growing army at home who
must enlist to win this war.
The drafted men will be drilled
and fitted to fight. They will cross
the Atlantic, will face German
guns, will fight as men have never
fought before in the history of the
world. They will be assisted by
the armies of the allies. There
will be we'll trained officers to
guide and command them. They
will do their part, but they cannot
win.
President Wilson is the man of
the hour, the commander of the
American army, who seems gifted
with an almost divine power to
dictate the terms of the war, yet

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure catarrhal deafness, and that
is by a constitutional remedy. Ca
tarrhal Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is infamed you
have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored
to its normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
HALLS Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces
of the system.
We give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls

From Camp jackson

Dear Editor:
If you will allow me the space in
your paper, l will take that means
of speaking to the people of dear
old Carroll County.
am not speaking to just the peo-
pie with whom / am personally
acquainted, but to every person in
the county. No matter your atti-
tude toward this war, in some way,
there is a shadow Of gloom hanging
over you one and all, because of rel
atives or friends being called to de-
fend the colors Of our country.
We are not in this conflict as
matter of choice but as a matter of
honor and duty. That being the
cause we must be victorious, and
/ rest assured we will.
To achieve success of worth, one
must make sacrifice, and the greater
the sacrifice the greater the goal Of
success achieved
What greater sacrifice can one
make than we are making at present.
But we have done it willingly, and
are proud we were able to make it.
The happiness of our home folks,
the safety of our country, the free
dom of the world now rests on the
shoulders of the young men. We
can and will cheerfully defeat Kaiser
Bill, and wave the stars and stripes
over Berlin and then return to the
dear old home fires victorious.
In the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A.
campaign the people Of Carroll
county sure did their part. Now |
am going to ask you to give your
money closer home.
On yesterdays mail | received
pair of socks from the Hico Knitting
Unit. | want to thank them one and
all and especially the one that had
the trouble of knitting them l am
sending my very best wishes to that
club.
These community clubs are just
as essential as either the Red Cross
or Y. NJ. c. A. SO l beg the people
back home not to neglect them. Give
them all the money they need and
they will do their part in helping to
make us comfortable, while we are
drilling these cold frosty mornings
Now in conclusion l will say
that these community clubs, are much
smaller than the other two mention
ed organizations, but are just as
good, for they are helping to pave the
way for quicker return of we boys
and defeat for Kaiser Bill. With
love and best wishes to all the peo-
pie back home, l will close by thank
ing them again for my sweater and
socks.
