As far back as the first winter Of
the war, the Red Cross sent to Serbia
Il sanitary commission that effective.
~ checked the Scourge of typhus, but
after the United States entered the
conflict, the Red Cross was able, in
August, 1917, TO send a full commits
sion that carried on extensive relief
operations among the suffering ref
ugees of the tortured nation. Hospi-
tails were established, the refugees fed,
clothed and given medica! attention,
the army supplied with much needed
dental treatment, farm machinery, ana
seeds provided to help the Serbs re-
deem their land to productivity, and,
not least. measures undertaken for the
succor of the children. The terrible
condition into which these helpless vic
tins Of the war had fallen is well
portrayed by this photograph Of a
little Serbian girl wearing the rags
and expression Of hopeless dismay
that were all she possessed when the
Red Cross came.

Consider how many, who formerly bought
only large, high-priced cars, now own an
Essex.
1t proves that size was not what they
sought. They paid big premiums for qualities
that small cars did not offer.
These are people with wide motor experience.
They prize such light car advantages as
economy and nitnbleness
But heretofore, only large, costly cars met
their other requirements Of performance, rid
ing ease and appearance.

A Suggestion to Objectors

There have always been and always will be men who make and objections to any enterprise. Some men, in Lee county, have tried to make ex- cuses for subscribing for Liberty loan bonds, have not subscribed for many they should have subscribed for.
 Now have this to say to those who would make If you feel like making hunt up some soldier who quit his business in Lee county and went to the camps and tell your to him. your com mittee will introduce you to soldier who has been wounded in France and you make your excuses to him. If you still feel that you should be excused from your patriotic duty of subscribing suppose we introduce you to the mother of boy who is now sleeping in France and let you make your excuses to her. This is not time for objections but time for action The is only by the aid of your money and your service in this country and by the patriotic bravery of the of Lee county and Amer who went to the camps and to France of them were wounded and some of them are dead. There are still millions of American soldiers in France, Belgium England and Germany and you cannot withhold your subscriptions to the Victory loan until these soldiers are back home and you will not withhold them The subscriptions of Lee county citizens have gone over on every Liberty loan issue first second third and fourth and they will just certainly subscribe for this quota

Half Holiday May
 Be Resumed Here

While no authoritative statement has been made yet, nor has any peti- ton been circulated, at the same time it is understood practically all the merchants of Marianna favor continuing the custo madopted last summer of giving their employees a half holiday on Thursday afternoon of each week. Last year the half holiday was granted primarily as a conservation movement in order that the clerks might have more time to cultivate their gardens. But Tn addition to this, most of the mer- chants left the clerks were entitled to the rest and recreation afforded by this brief respite from their duties during the hot summer months. The half holiday period last year began in May and contin- ued until October 1. It is expected the movement to resume this GUS tom will be inaugurated within the next few days and that the mer- chants will sign an agreement grant ing the half holiday as they did last year.

TANK IS GIVEN
 BIG RECEPTION
WATCH WITH IN TEREST MANEUvERS OF BAT TILE MACHINE-coOD TALKS ARE MADE.

The bullet-scarred battle tank from the blood-soaked fields of France that paraded on the streets of Marianna yesterday, at intervals firing charges that exploded several hundred feet in the air, was an eye opener to several thousand peo- ple who imagined this wonderful war machine was an unwieldy moa- ster that moved with slow and pom derous tread. They had no idea it was so easily controlled, could make such speed, turn sharp corners more gracefully than an automobile, and above all was so indifferent as to the nature of the terrain or the size of Instructions. The tank was driven over the ruins of the fire on Poplar street, pushed down a few trees and iron posts, bowled over an iron safe in the fire debris, then looked like it wanted something real ly hard to do and couldn't find it.
 The tank was manned by crew of men who saw service in France. The members of the crew delivered addresses at the city park and told some of the thrilling experiences they had in France, concluding with an appeal for liberal subscriptions to the forthcoming Victory loan. The chief speaker was A. L. Palmer of St. Louis, who is travelling on the special train that carries the tank. John N. Stroud of Kansas City, travelling passenger agent, IS in charge of the train. w. T. Nash of Wynne, trainmaster of this di- vision of the Missouri Pacific, join ed the party at Nettleton and is making the run on this division.
 The train was met at the yards by an immense crowd of people. Chas. Mckee, chairman for Lee county, had charge of the reception. Nearly one hundred Marianna sol diers, dressed in uniform, and the Boy Scouts, constituted units in the parade from the railroad yards to Ithe city park where the formal ex- ercises were held.

DICK KITCHENS
 LAST MINUTES
PHILLIPS COUNTY BOY WHO SUCCUMBED ABROAD SAID TO CHAPLAIN, "LET ME DIE FACING ARKANSAS"

Conway, Ark, April 13.-An ac- Kitchens, son of Sheriff and Mrs. Frank Kitchens of Helena, was given in an address here by Chap lain W. B. Hogg, lately returned from service in France and with the army of occupation in Germany.
 According to Chaplain Hogg, young Kitchens was dying when he entered the room.
 "What direction is Arkansas in?" Chaplain Hogg said the young sol dier asked him.
 'In that direction" the chaplain told him, pointing to a window in the hospital room.
 "Then pull me toward it and let me die with my face toward Gods country" the Phillips county man requested.
 Chaplain Hogg and the hospital attendants then faced him toward his home state, and it was in that position, his face toward and his thoughts in far-away Arkansas that he died.
 Scenes in many hospitals just be- hind the battle lines in which he was, called upon to perform the last rites for many of America's mar tyrs were recounted by Chaplain Hogg in a stirring recital of his stay with the fighters in France and Germany. The chaplain went across with the ST tn division from Camp Pike, and was later transfer red to units in the war sector. Be- fore his illness in Germany he was senior field chaplain with the ten division comprising the army of oc- cupaton.
 One of the most graphic of Chap lain Hogg's numerous vivid pictures from the front was of the hospital scene just behind the lines in the Argonne, when the broken bodies of Americas fighters were brought back in the first ambulances.
