BIRD LOVERS FOR
MEMORIAL TREES

The planting OF memorial trees
for our sailors and soldiers Is one
q the finest things that can be DONE"
said T. Gilbert Pearson. of New York
city. secretary and executive head Of
the National Association Of Audubon
Societies. following a conference with
p. S-Ridsdale, secretary OF the
American Forestry Association, which
has plans under way In every State
for the planting Of such trees.
THE planting Of trees means more
&c the bird life OF the country than
can be estimated" continued Mr.
Pearson. II am safe in saying that
the birds are doing more to plant
trees and to save them than are the
people of this country At this time.
All the shrubs and little trees you
see along the farmers fence are the
result OF birds dropping seeds. When
you sec a woodpecker working on q
tree you may be assured that he is
after the weevil that has worked un-
der the bark.
"The National Association of Az
dubon Societies most heartily indorses
the plan OF the American Forestry
Association. The planting OF me-
mortal trees Is sure to direct the
thought of the people to the impor-
lance Of forestry in general since
the great drain upon the forests OF
tn" country by war work"

STAGE-STRUCK GIRL
'DOTTY,' SAYSJUDGE

NEW YORK, Nov. ao.-"No woman
under thirty shoulud think of going
on the stage" was the announcement
from the bench by Magistrate Alex
ander Brough in the West Side Court
"a girl OF seventeen should have no
such idea in her head as that OF be-
coming a chorus girl" declared the
magistrate to Sadie Koran, who had
been arraigned on a summons obtain
ed by her mother, Mrs. Sarah Koran,
who said her daughter refused to
work and her only thought was that
of becoming a chorus girl
The mother further explained that
there was no pressing necessity of her
daughter going to work, and that this
was not insisted upon. but that there
WAS violent family prejudice and OPP
position to her becoming a chorus
girl.
The magistrate agreed with her
mother and intimated that ambition
to go on the stage was q form OF in
sanity. To be stage struck is to be
"dotty" according to his dictum. He
told Sadie that II she mentioned the
subject of chorus girl or stage again
he would have her committed to
Bellevue for ten days for observation,
This was after he had advised her to
accept a position as salesgirl and she
had asked him whether she would
have a chance to go on the stage.
The nearest you will ever get to
the stage will be a moving picture
show" continued the magistrate. He
then warned her to forget all things
theatrical.
When the news reached Broadway
there was talk of calling an ensem-
BILE of protest to pass resolutions OF
indignation and tell Mr.. Ziegfeld on
the judge.

German Socialist newspapers are
demanding that an inquiry be made

The National Gazette, of Basic, says:
THE revelations just published by

varian council, constitute an event of
historical importance. Other publica-
tons relating to those unlucky days
OF 1914 will surely follow, but the
reports of Count Lerchenfeld, the

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal

perfect substitute for calomel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as

make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take

Calomel is q dangerous drug. 1t
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and

We Lift Our Hats,

Once again it becomes necessar,

our war activities has the American
navy come in for any share of criti
cism. And within the last few day,
there has been further occasion fol

for it is announced that at last the
German submarine menace has beer
substantially overcome. The Amer,
lean navy will never get too MUCH
praise for its efficiency in the won
derful service rendered in this world
war for liberty and democracy.
1t will be a matter of lasting
gratitude to Secretary of the Navy
Josephus Daniels that his part in
position of high power has been to
administer stewardship which has
gone through the grueling demands
of war pressure without single
word of criticism or censuye.
1t is to be remembered that the
American Navy las put up the bars
completely against the use of liquors.
There was a flood of criticism as
we'll as praise at the time of the in
auguration OF this order. But the
American Navy has demonstrated to
the nation at home and the world
at large that temperance navy is
an efficient navy beyond the pale
of any criticism in courage, ability
and accomplishment. From the Sec
retary of the navy through all the
line of high commanders, to the
boys who man the guns and those
who stoke the engines, achievement
beyond criticism has been made.

Red Cross Nurses Needed.

Mississippi nurses are needed by
the Red Cross. The state is asked
to funish 267 of them between now
and January 1, 1919. The sooner
they enroll the better.
A nationwide compaign to recruit
nurses for the Red Cross is in pro-
gress. The country is expected to
produce $4,000 of these valued
workers.
The Gulf Division of the Red
Cross, of which Mississippi forms
one-third, is asked to furnish 200
nurses before the campaign is over.
Graduate registered nurses between
twenty-three and forty years of age,
who have had at least two years ey-
perience in a hospital are eligible.
So. every nurse with these quail
fications should enroll. It's the
opportunity for doing the most use
full work that women can do in the
war.
Minimum salary for Red Cross
nurses in the United States is $50
month and for those abroad $50,
with increased pay for chief nurse.
All travelling and living expenses
are paid by the government. Nurses
are given war risk insurance the
same as are soldiers and sailors.
If Mississippi is to make its quota
the people who employ nurses will
have to help. Nurses should be
used only in cases of severe illness.
Physicians should give up all nurses
whose services can be spared.
Nurses wishing to enroll should
send their applications to one of the
following women: Mrs. Jennie Cam
eron, 515 Bay Street, Hattiesburg,
Miss, Miss Mary Trigg Greenville
Snitarium, Greenville, or direct to
Miss l.. A. Daspit, director of the

Then give her kisses to Stacker al

Who's afraid to get in the "mill?'

When she knows his heart is set
On the home coming soon, his heart

And with nothing done to regret :?

And all the time doing her best
To marry the Stacker who stayed at

Instead of telling the truth to the

With a heart so heavy and sore,
To wonder what he is fighting for,

Why will she marry the Stacker
instead
And condemn in him eyermore,
His faith in her sex, of the soldier
who thought
He would have O wife after the

Why will she ruin his faith in God
And his hopes of the world to

And will she make him want to

And hope for the end to come,
That he might find peace OF mind
