lnacco-dance with the Gov ernor's proclamation memorial exercises fer Col. Roosevelt were held at high school last Monday. It not being the regular day fer chapel, the students were as sembled in the auditorium at the recess period. Miss Orlca1 Maloney in her beautifully eH- pressive way read poetic trib- ute to the late expresidant from the pen of T. II. Kendall.
 Sapt. Whiteside made talk in which he emphasized the noble qualities which were char acteristic of Theodore Roosevelt, his manly Vigor, his absolute fearlessness, and his genuine patriotism. He explained how people all over the United States were on October 27, the anniversary of his birth, holding exercises to honor him because he cid render such splendid ser vice to his country. Further more funds were being raised t1 erect at Washington momy- ment to his memory.
 That the students of the High School might have the op- portunity to contribute to that fund, if they so desired, he ther appointed the following student Committee: Shelton Bland, George Spencer, John White, Lowe Gill and Charles Daniels.
 From Shelton Bland. chair man of this committee we learn that $7.30 was secured. All things considered this was reai- iy a liberal contribution for tlte students to make. It shows that the youth of our land can always be depended upon to hGnor the brave.

CHACTERISTICS WHICH MAKE MONTICELLO \
 GOOD HOME TOWN,

Mir. Henry Cruse. who has just moved to Monticello from Lake Charles, Louisiana, whilo in this office last Friday made a statement as to his reasons for moving here that we feel is worth publishing He states that he had heard from friends of the healthful climate, the fine water and the good schools of this town. Having decided to move from Louisiana, he made a trip over a short time ago to see If the reports, that had cone to him of Monticello were true. In his case seeing was believing so he hastened back to bring his family.
 They had some difficulty ill getting a house but have for the present rented a cottage OH Edwards Street from Mr. Nick Kizer.
 Monticello is a good town to live in for the rcason that were mentioned and it would be a pay ing proposition to give more publicity to the good points of our home town. Many people are moving into Arkansas now from various states. Among them are people Of enterprise that would be valuable additions to our citizenship. Why not let them know about Monticello !? It can be done.

GOVERNMENT ASKS DREW TO SAVE SfI,90O
 IN FOUR MONTHS
This County Ranked Seventh In Saving Certificates For Sep tcMhe".

As every body knows Uncle sam is still in need of funds and IS urging the people to help the Government and themselves by buying Treasury Saving Certif- cates. As in the Liberty Bond Drive of last year, estimates have been made as to the ability of the people of each state to buy. The quota fixed for Ark anSas from September to Jan. uary next is one million and Drew county's part of that is $11,900.
 The repor5 of the State for the month of September shows that Drew made good start during the first month, purchas- ing $1039.00 worth. There are only six other counties, where the sales exceed this amount. Pulaski led off with $458725 and Sebastian second with $2fO2.G9. Taking the population of these counties into considera ton, Drew makes good show ing. Garland county which has the city of Hot Springs only exceeded Drew by $5.25 and Jefferson county invested less than a third as much as oar county.
 The Treasury Savings Cerith- eates really are good invest ment fos they bear 1 per cent in :. terest compounded quarterly. They eaa never go below par and may be redeemed at any time simply by giving ten days notice.
 In spite of the insistant de mand of old Mr. H. c. L for our finds, and constant appeals for donations of various kinds it be- hooVes every one, no matter how limited his income, to make n effort to do some systematic say ing each month. It pays to be thrifty.

THIRD ANNUAL RED CROSS ROLL CALL,
 NOVEMBER 2-1t
\ Campaign For Ten Million Members To Carry Out Peace Program.

Next week the Red Cross vii. carry on it's third annual mem bership campaign.
 The first drive for new meu bers which was completed just before Christmas of 1917, was great success. Every intel iigeHt, patriotic American was anxious to do his bit to help the wonderful organization that was doing so much for our soldiers and the stricken ones of Europe. In the summer of 1918 when contributions for the advance ment of Red Cross work were called for, there was liberal response from the American people. Every body was glad to help.
 This year the campaign is not so much for funds as for men,- bers. The goal set is ten million. The membership fee of one dol- lar which each of these will pay, will, however, help create a fund which will be expended for the great peace program, which has already been outlined. One of the most important features of this program is the work for public health and social welfare which it is hoped will benefit every man woman and child in these United States.
 The plans for the coming year are far reaching in scope. There is to be Nationwide activity for public health. A campaign against disease is to be waged. Through public health lectures and by other means the people are to be taught how n keep themselves fit. The coun- trys' nursing resources are to be extended and the Home Service is to be broadened. The facil- ities of the Red Cross for giv- ing emergency disaster relief are also to be extended. The relief measures for war victims whicl. now for some time has been such an important phase of tie organization will be completed. Through the Junior Red Cross the energy and the sympathy ol the children will be enlisted in these various activities.
 1t is a glorious work that vii! be done and it is real privilege to have the opportunity to take membership in this organization that is doing things so splendid, ly.

ROOSEVELT

Upon the wall above my desk, Just on a level with my eyes, Is pinned a likeness, pictureque, A likeness that l highly prize. A bralny man, a man of might, A truthful, earnest, honest man, Who, when he felt that he was
 right, Feared neither color, creed nor
 clan. 4 man who with his gun and Spent many free relaxing hours, Who loved the Soil. the Sun,
 the Sod, As dew and daylight love the
 flowers. He loved his country first and
 last, And fer it gave a cherished son, And chafed because the battle s
 blast Knew not the thunder of his
 gun. PREPAREDNESS was to him
 a creed, And justice was his daily goal, To pray for him there is no need, He was the Captain of his soul. A man who served until the end. Who service gave and service
 sought, Who never went back on a
 friend, Nor fostered one unloyal
 thought. History of him this much will
 tell, "The staunchest Statesman of
 time" His name will ring clear as a
 bell, His deeds, like symphonies will
 chime. Roosevelt has gone, his match
 less mind, No more will guide his hand and
 pen, But, going he has left behind. His image, in the hearts ol
