Corporal Ebert E. Brooks Given
Big Reception

Corporal Ebert E. Brooks, son
of Mrs. |. L. Argo of Trezevant,
has returned from France. A
warm and enthusiastic welcome
was accorded Corporal Brooks.
A large crowd of citizens had
gathered at the station and when

picked up and carried to near by
decorated automobile awaiting him.
After shaking hands and chatting
a few words with a number of
friends he was driven to the home
of his mother.
Corporal Brooks is the first
Trezevant boy to return from
France, and there will not come
one in a thousend, and perhaps
ten thousend, that will bring with
them the distinction that Brooks
has won for himself. He is wear
ing a distinguished service cross
awarded him by Gen. Pershing
for bravery in action. He is a
member of the 10Th company,
sixth regiment, United States
marines. He was in number of
the hardest fought battles and in

wounded himself, he was fighting
his way back through a deadly

enant wounded on the field.
Brooks placed his body in front of
the officer to SHIELD him, and for
this act Gen. Pershing decorated
him with service cross which
Corporal Brooks is wearing with
much pride.
Although Corporal Brooks was
severely wounded he has recovered
to such extent that he can now
walk without his crutches. He is
home on thirty days furlough,
after which he will return to his
training camp at Paris Island to
get his discharge.

whether we have a county farm
demonstrators and county agent for
home economics for another year.
We feel confident the county court

Dare"

Oxenham, the poet-laureate of the war, wrote a poem in the year 1900, in which Christ is supposed to appear and plead with the Kaiser to join hands with his cousin of the North in a disarma- ment which would result in uni versal peace. The moral of the poem is, He did not dare.." It requires no courage to go with the crowd, to be wild, to follow nature. to be a moral and spiritual stacker. 'Itls as easy as lying"
 But to trust in our own right eousness, and the righteousness of our neighbors, to stop grum- bling and to try to make the world better; to be a moral fighter and to be the man who "dares" requires manly spiritual courage. This will be the theme at St. Philips Church Sunday evening, March 23. Come and help. It will do you good and your neigh Dor good to see you there,

By continuing the sale of War Savings Stamps throughout 1919 the Government has offered to ev- cry man, woman and child an op. portunity for the display of practi- cal peace time citizenship by be- coming an investor in the securities of his country. It also offers to each an opportunity for self.lm- provement by giving chance to save small amounts regularly and systematically and to invest them wisely.
 In the hard school of war we have learned much that should be of val ue to us and to our country in the days of readiustment. We have learned the necessity of saving. Indeed it was saving that brought us the victory~-the willingness of the people to save money, to save coal, to save food. The man, woman or child who has learned to spend wisely and look forward to

Red Ink on Waist
To The Editor Of Womdu's Page.
Dear Madam-Can YOU tell me how
| can take a red ink stain from n pale
pink georgette dress? 1t is on the
sleeve. G. p.
Owing to the difference in the compo-
sition of colored writing inks it is
little difficult to say just what agent
will remove the stain. Try the fol-
lowing:
Soak the stain for day or two In
milk. changing the milk as often as It
is discoloreG. Finally wash out with
soap and water.
If this is not successful. apply oxalic
acid, diluted. Soak the stain for few
seconds in this and then "'nse in clear
water and finally in water to which n
few drops of ammonia have been added.
This treatment is very apt to remove
the color, but it would be very easy for
you to give the waist a pink bath"
with one of the soap dyes now on the
market.
