Mrs. Lizzie Thompson of 92O West Twentieth avenue, who experienced the apprehension and anguish only a mother can feel when she sees her oWnflesh and flood march off to war, yesterday sent in contribution of $5 to the Jefferson county war heroes memorial fund, being raised under the auspices of the home service sec tion of the Red Cross, Pine Bluff Chapter. Mrs. Thompson had two of her sons to respond to the call to the men of North America for aid in stopping the barbarians. One Corpor- al Joseph Thompson, who was with the A. E. F., recently received an honorable discharge and has return ed. The other, Raymond Thompson, who enlisted in the Canadian army still in France.
 ''It is a fine thing to do. We should always cherish the memory of those boys who died, and revere them for their courage; their love of human ity and their adherence to the prin- ciples of right I am heart and soul in this movement. 1 can't give much, but 1 do want to give something to- ward the memorial. I do hope that everyone will demonstrate their ap- preciation of what these boys did by contributing to the fund. We honor ourselves when we honor them. And l know-because l know how l would feel-that the mothers and fathers of the boys who died for us will find great consolation in this public testi- monial of a peoples appreciation of gravery, patriotism and love-"
 Gives Savings to Funds.
 A clean cut youngster walked into The Graphic office yesterday after noon and handed in an envelope, saying:
 "This money is for the soldiers monument. l saved it."
 "And you want to give this money you saved to help build a monument to the brave men who died in the war against those bad people who killed little children, women and men?" the youngster was asked.
 "Yes, sir That's what want to do" The little lad with this spirit of patriotism and generosity is Sam Vaulx. Jr. In the envelope he had $2, with this memoranda:
 Allen Hearn Memorial fund, $1. "Red Cross Memorial fund $1. SAM JR. VAULX."
 This is not the first time Sam, Jr., has given his savings to worthy cause And let it be known that Sam's savings represent labor performed. Some time ago Sam, Jr., went to his father, Circuit Clerk s. F. Vaulx and said he wanted to give some money to the Armenian relief fund, But you haven't any money" his father protested "Yes, I have, Sam Jr., retorted, and he took from his bank $5 War Savings certificate. '"This lis good as money, isn't it?" His fath- CT admitted it was. "Then 1 want to give it to the Armenians," said Sam, Jr. And he did, with his parents hearty approval. Fund Is Growing. g. These contributions bring the fund for a monument to the Jefferson county war heroes-soldiers and sail ors, white and colored-to $33. Many people have expressed determination to contribute and it is expected that contributions will come in rapidly to the Red Cross and The Graphic as soon as people realize that it devolves upon those who live and enjoy the blessings and privileges made se- cure thru this sacrifice of life to per petuate the memory of the heroes that future generations may be fre- quently reminded of the part Jeffer- son county took in the world war.
 The fund for the monument to the dead soldiers and sailors is being raised under the auspices of the civil- ian relief committee composed of T. j.. Collier, chairman; Miss Lillian Healey executive secretary; Mrs. w. L. De- woody, Miss Corrie Hunnicutt, Dr. J.. I. Norris, D. Stanley Dreyfus, and M. w. Meyers. Contributions may be sent to the Red Cross or The Graphic and will be acknowledged in The Graphic each day.
 Another Hero Discovered. l Another name was added to the list of the county's heroes yesterday, bringing the total to 39. This was Henry Woodrow Terrence, who died at Mountain Range, S. C., of in- fluenza contracted while serving as instructor at the Charleston navy yard. Terrence was connected with the Gillespie Dry Goods company. He enlisted May 5, 1917. His death occurred Sept. 28, 1918.
