WHAT A LITTLE
EFFORT WILL DO

A short time ago Miss Alma Gum
of Routes, while in our city was
talking to one Of the Red Cross work
ers, and she stated to her that there
were a few members of this society
il her neighborhood, but she thot it
wa snot because they were not inter
cited and if it was brought to their
attention she felt sure they would
be glad to be enrolled among its
members. Some cards were given
her and she went home and secured
y members for our local auxiliary
and three donations to the Red Cross
Drive. We are certainly very CRATE
1ul to her and only wish that her
good example might be followed by
others in the rural districts. Our
boys are being called from the country
as well as the town and we know our
out-of-town friends want to be en-
rolled in the Red Cross and thus
help in rendering them whatever aid
we can. We want to invite our out
of-town friends to call at our work
room opposite Mr.. Tibbets store when
they are in town and see the garments
the ladies ar emaking to send to
them. Even if they are prevented
from coming in to sew on account of
the distance, by becoming a member
OF the auxiliary, one half of the mem
bershlp goes to buy materials for our
LEGAL ladies to use in the rooms aad
IN knitting in the homes.
Miss Gum secured the following
members:
Retta Chenoweth, A. s. Jones. Dora
Shapes, Perry Gum, A. Wagner
Dna Gaynor, Winnie Goodwin. Marc

ment:
1T is essential that the American

eminent the money indlspensably
needed for the war and to release
Supplies and labor required for the
production Of things necessary for
OUT own military forces and for the
military forces Of the nations asso-
ciated with us One of the best
methods of bringing about this re-
s,lt is for everyone to pledge him
self to economic and save and to

cilc amount OF War Savings

fields, where they are called upon
to sacrifice not only their personal
comfort and material interests, but
their lives as we'll 1t is appropri-
ate, therefore, for the American

main in safety and comfort at home
to consider their sacred obligation
to support our gallant men and to
pledge themselves earnestly to save

soldiers and sailors may have food
and clothing and the arms and am
munition without which they can
not fight
ITO the end that this intensive
campaign may, be most effective,
earnestly pespeak the cooperation
of all the organizations and insti-
tutions of the nation which, through
their influence and active support,
can further this work. It Is desir-
able that the attention of the en-
tire people be centered on their OBJ
legation to pledge the Government
this kind of support for the win
ming of the war, and with this OBJ
ject in view, that June 2Sth, 1918,

on patrol duty in the south are aiding
in the search. &Hf

nothing on which to found an ex-
PLANTATION. The big carrier has sim
ply vanished. .-.
Many Theories Advanced.
Suggestions heard most frequently
were that German agents had board
ed the ship in port and captured her
at sea; that she had broken in two
and gone down in sudden squall:
that she had been overtaken by a
submarine and sunk without trace
and that an internal explosion had
sent her down.
All Of these suggestions had flaws
in them. it was said. "A theory that
she had been captured by group of
German, agents aboard appeared to
be the only explanation that would
account for the silence of her radio
equipment
Look for Wneckagc.
Naval vessels have patrolled all
coasts in the vicinity of her route,
looking for wreckage of survivors.
Nothing has been found. Every ves-
sci said to have been anywhere in the
region at the time hasib been communi-
Gated with. None saw or heard any
thing OF the collier. Reports from
every source showed nothing to war
trant the storm theory.
The explosion theory is met by the
fact that only sufficient ammunition
for hersfcw guns was on board. The
ships cargo was not explosive.
No Rcports q( RLder.
It ;is,st@tet absn9ute tBilshce of: the

m ost mysterious in naval annals. That
fact alone inclines officials to. the be-

other way would it have been possible
to silence calls for aid.s ,'e Gs t3. g
One OF the Cyclops' engines was
damaged. but it is not believed the
engine trouble had anything to dc
with the disa appearance.
The possibility was suggested that
explosives might have been put
aboard mixed in large quantities with
the manganese ore and time bomt
set to explode the mass In that case
however, the sea would be covered

Long Public Career.
Senator William J.. Stone was in
public life IS years and during that
long period probably engaged in as
many political contests as any man
of his time, ranging all the way from
CONTROVERSIES over county Offices to
the broadcast national issues.
At the entry of the United States
into the war. Senator Stone per-
formed the trying feat Of antagoniz-
ing his own party administration and
then realigning himself with it in a
generally satisfactory manner. 1t
was in connection with the bill pro-
posing the arming of American mer-
chant ships that he took sharp issue
with President Wilson. He stood
with" the dozen Senator'S whose OPP
measure at the close Of the eth Con-
gress, and brought down the denun-
rciation OF the President upon ''the
wilful twelve" While Senator stone
made no apologies for his course on
that occasion he always contended4 1t
was in strict line with his duty al q
senator because in accord with his
convictions, and as he believed, in
protection Of Americas interests.
| Opposed Way.ss
:. His opposition to the declaration OF
war on Germany was also pro-
nouhced,,- and he declined to take
! charge Of the war resolution az
would have sbeen expected of Nm as
chairman Of the committee on
Foreign Relations. He did not seek
however to place obstacles in the
way .ofsa consideration and trans
