We have resumed work in the
Masonic Temple, where we have
nice, light and warm comfortable
location, through the kindness of the
members of Mariana Lodge No III,
F.. e. A. NJ. who donated a part OF
the temple for our use as our Red
Cross headquarters, and also furnish
us fuel for all of which we are
thankful
We have splendid reports as to
Christmas Roll Call members from
Haynes and Rondo. j. j. Hughes, Jr.,
of Haynes and ~ NJ Blair of Rondo,
as chairmen of Roll Call in their
districts, did splendid work for the
Red Cross j. E. Clarkson and T. c.
Conner had charge of the Red Cross
Christmas Roll Call at Cody. We
never in all our lives had any idea
that Cody had such a population,
until the list of names of those who
had enrolled as members of the Red
Cross reached chapter headquarters
from Cody. Men like Messrs. Hughes,
Blair. Clarkson and Conner are the.
men who can deliver the goods.
On last Saturday, January 4, we
had with us j. L. Bange of st. Louis,
field accountant of the Southwestern
Division of the American Red Cross.
Mr. Bange is visiting all chapters in
the southwestern division, and it was
indeed a qualification to hear Mr..
Bange in his loud praise of our coun-
ty. He said he had been out eleven
days visiting different chapters, and
the Lee county chapter had accom-
plished more than any chapter he
had visited in the eleven days he
had been out. When looking over
the list of donations he said the
were the most liberal he had ever
heard of, and ! am sure every one
will rejoice with me in the splendid
record that has been made by the
Lee county chapter of the American
Red Cross.
We want especially to thank Fl. NJ
Jackson, editor of the Courier-Index
AS chairman of publicity,--he has
rendered our chapter great service.
He has given the space in the paper
that is used in making the Red Cross
reports, gratis. Through his kindness
we have been able to keep everyone
throughout the county informed as
to the work that our chapter and
auxiliaries were doing, so that all
could be fully acquainted with the
progress we were making in Lee
| county in the cause of humanity,
through the American Red Cross.

MANY people do not realize that
merely an armistice has been signed
and that the war is not over, nor
will it be until peace treaties are
definitely concluded. and even with
the signing of a definite peace, the
work of the Red Cross will continue
until we have completed our obliga-
lions to the millions of people who
have so nobly carried on this war,
and sacrificed for us as well as for
themselves | would like to impress
one thing, however. upon the minds
of all our loyal Red Cross workers,
that speed is today the paramount
thing. and that garments which are
of the utmost value now may no
longer serve their purpose few
months hence. Hard work confronts
all of us for the first three weeks OF
this month, as supplies must be SHIP
ped from all chapters by the 18th OF
this month, in order to start overseas
from the Division the first of Febru-
ary, so let us do our very best to
ship as many garments as IT is pos
sible for us to have ready for snip
ment by the 25th of this month. III
we have only few garments to send
remember the few garments we can
send will help to keep the little
children warm. We have all worked
in the past, regardless of all obstac-
les, permitting our own homes ana
our cwn families to go without the
attention which we had formerly con-
sidered imperative. So ! beg OF all
our faithful workers, let's do this
once more. and in so doing remember
that had is not been for the poor,
war-weary people of France and Bel,
GUM, whom we are now helping, our
own men might not be back with us
again. and no one could say my boy
is home The war is over.
Please forgive this lengthy dis.
course. but the subject is so vital
and the necessity so great that |
feel no means should be lost to ini-
press everyone with the dire need
of those for whom | am asking all
our workers to concentrate all their
efforts upon in this month.
ss+sss
am just ip receipt of a letter
from Division Headquarters announc-
ing the suspension of knitting, which
has been one of the war time activi-
ties of the Red Cross, which has

soldiers and sailors from the very
outbreak of the war. Recently a

THE COUNTY FAIR

Greenlee county's first fair, held in Duncan on last Saturday was a great success From every viewpoint there could not be any fault found with it, considering the short space of time given for it's preparation. On the 9th day of October, the board of su- pervsors appropriated s1,000 for the fair and 19 days later the fair was held. Truly this was done in record time; and it was done good

The patronage of mail order houses g bane to any community. Your local mercantile houses can give you better value for the same money and even if they could not it is bad policy to send your money elsewhere. Every dollar sent out of the community to that extent impoverishes it. And it makes it harder for local enterprise to succeed. This applies to printing as much as to merchandise.
 Dave Clark of Morenci spent Sun day in Clifton calling on friends.

The country was simply wonderful
| We went to the Calvaire near Pont
| Chateau. The old Chateau is just
as it was in medieval days with d
| lake in front and moat all around,
and the wonderful door and the
draWbridge. The structure is of
grey stone, and is surrounded by
high wall with the old fixtures for
defense in places. The grounds are
flied with all kinds of trees and
shrubhery. From the Chateau We
went on to the Calvaire. This is a
| system of statues and simiii!udes ont
| in the open gardens in the farming
section where tho death of Chriss is
pictured to the mind and eye jill
iclages down to the smallest detail.
| The effect is wonderful and striking.
We got back in time to get the

This has been memorable day for
me. 1t was my birthday and | was
touring in France. That same day
| we took lunch in the ancient town of
Gruande. The history of this place
dates back to the time of the Druids.
1t is walled town and the wall was
| built of grey stone away back i'll tha
fifteenth century. The streets were
| just wide enough for the car TO run
through them. The ancient watch
tower seemed to peer at you from
distant past while a forcible remind
| er Of the present came from the fact
| that ESQ of the men that little town
| had died recently on Frances battle
| fields. We ate lunch in an old inn
and after that we saw French peas
ant wedding. The bride danced with
all the guests and their faces reflect
| ed happiness and sweat as they dane
ed back and forth to the music of
the old fiddler off in the corner, who
played the same kind of tunes you
hear in old country "break-downs."
The incident gave a curious and in
| innate view of some of the old
world customs and was worth seeing.
On the way back we passed numbers
of German and Austrian prisoners
under guard of American soldiers
who were repairing and rebuilding
| French roads. Part of the way We
passed along the sea coast and pretty
French girls waved at us and threw
kisses.

AN ARMY CHAPLAIN'S LETTER
TO HIS MOTHER.
Glimpses of France and Life On
Board War Transport
Depicted.
(RY WildMood.l

In the year 1918 at a critical
stage of the world war being Waged
by Germany on one hand and the
Allies on the otner, the United States
sent forth an urgent appeal for more
chaplains to administer religious
comfort and cheer to her fighting
men in the fierce ordeals they were
then passing through.
Among those who responded to the
call was one whose family and con-
nections are we'll known in st. Tam
many parish, La, Rev. J. Guide Rous
seaux, a member of the Louisiana
Conference of the Methodist Church,
South. Born and reared near West
Pearl River in this parish, Chaplain
Rousseaux left home in his youth to
take UP a course of studies at Mill
saps College, Jackson, Miss, and i'm
mediately on graduation entered the
work of the ministry. For six years
or more he served various appoint
ments throughout Louisiana with
zeal and affection.
He was serving his second year as
pastor of Epworth Methodist Church
in New Orleans when he sought and
obtained a champlaincy in the army.
About five years ago Chaplain
Rousseaux welded an estimable
Mississippi girl, Pearl, daughter of
Asa Weston, of LogtoWn, Miss. The
couple possess two interesting little
children.
Chaplain RousseauX's present as
signment is at Old Point Comfort,
Va, where he has recently been join
ed by his family.
Nearby many of the closing and
remarkable scenes Of the war are be-
ing enacted-tranSport bringing in
throngs of soldiers returning from
their campaign overseas and throngs
of relatives and friends there to meet
them, many with smiles and some
with tears To these fruitful themes
and of visits to points of interest in
Richmond and other places letters
received here frequently allude.
On first entering the army Chap
lain Rousseaux received routine in
struction and training at the gov
ernment's training school for chap
lains near Nashville and expected
soon to be ordered to France when
early last November came tidings
that the armistice had been agreed
on and signed. AS rehabilitation
of troops rapidly began he was sent
to Camp Beauregard in this state,
and used each opportunity to offer
the men words Of encouragement and
comfort on their return to civil life
and exhorted them one and all to
become good citizens of their coun-
