We all remember the incident where
young Washington was breaking his

though the horse plunged and with
all his strength tried to throw his
rider, Washington stuck to him and,
having conquered him. rode him
quietly around the field, but tn one

frantic effort the colt burst a blood
vessel and fell down dead. He did not
try to conceal the fact that he had
killed the horse nor to shift the blame

whole story. These same traits o.
truthfulness and determinaiton--no

manifest in his later life as well as
in his youth. For though without

and clothing for his army he per

CALDWELL-KIRK

A quiet little wedding was much
a surprise last Sunday afternoon,
November 2, the bride being Miss
Lois Kirk, q charming young daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Kirk. She
has quite a large circle of friends
who wish them heartiest congratula-
ton. The groom who was one of
Uncle Sans great men of honor for
a short while is Mr.. Frank Calvin, a
well known citizen of Obion, the
couple being two of Obion's best
teachers, who will finish the Cobb
Chapel school which Mr.. Caldwell is
now the principal. He was unfor-
tunate to lose his assistant and more
fortunate to have to help to finish
the school. Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell
rode to Troy to Rev. r. e. Whites
and Rev. White made them 1.-TWO
hearts that beat as one"
The happy couple will go to their
new home near Fremont after they
have finished their school.
We extend to them our heartiest
congratulations and may heir path
be strewn with roses instead OF
thorns.

S1.O1 SPENT FOR
EVERY 81 GIVEN
RED CROSS HAD REMARKABLE
RECORD OF ECONOMY IN
WAR.
Money Given In Third Roll Cab To
Go Mainly for America ara
Americans.

Atlanta, Ga.-There are two facts
about the Third Red Cross Roll Call
which campaign leaders in the south
are emphasizing-one the fact that the
Red Cross has proved its ability and
trustworthiness to handle funds in a
business-like way. and the other. the
fact that the money received in the
Third Roll Call will be expended al
most wholly in America for the benefit
of the American people.
When anybody asks whether money
given to the Red Cross will be fritz
tered or squandered, campaign speak
ers turn to its war record and point to
the remarkable fact that for every dol
lar given by the American people, $1.01
went to the actual purpose for which
the money was intended In other
words, each dollar earned two cents
interest. One cent of that two cents
provided for expenses of administra-
ton, and the dollar itself and cent
besides went to actual relief work.
II the Red Cross could do that in
the war. when no organizations and no
nations were any too careful or econo-
mic In the way they spent money, Red
Cross workers declare, 1t is certainly
to be believed that the Red Cross will
do as well, at the least, in peace times,
and that money given in the Third
Roll Call will go, not for expenses, but
right where 1t is most needed and
right where the man or woman who
gave 1t wanted 1t go out when he
joined the Red Cross and paid his
dollar.
AS for the exact purpose for which
the money will be spent, they quote
DR.. Livingston Farrand, national chair
man of the Red Cross, who said re-
rently: "The American people are not
asked for huge sums to pour into
Europe for the relief of stricken peo-
pies Of other countries. Only a COM
paratively small sum will be set aside
for that purpose, and it only to adj
minister supplies already entrusted to
the Red Cross by the American gov
eminent, not to buy any more supplies.
1t will be merely toward defraaying the
comparatively light expenses Of finish
ing a job already almost completed.
BY far the greater percentage of the
money secured in this compaign from
the American people will be returned
directly to the American people in the
form Of better health and living
conditions"
AS concrete expression Of the ap-
prevail Of the government Of Red Cross
methods. more than ten million dollars
worth Of medical and food supplies
have been recently turned over to the
Red Cross BY the government to be
distributed.
