 I hesitated only for a second. I wasn't at all sure how much time I could give to this new war work. or the nature of the tasks that would ba given me. But with Mrs. Gray's en- thusiastic, friendly voice still in my ears I was ashamed to demur ever so slightly. l had carefully kept away from all civic work in Marvin, not only because of the onerous home duties I'd had since Dickys accident but also for more selfish reason. detest unreasoningly being a club member, and experience has taught me that most of the civic and phil anthropic work of the villages is done through women's clubs. But this new organization promised to be something different. I felt my interest already excited.

S. L. Shields, of Himyar, and wife
were in town Saturday. Mr.. Shields
entered the army June 1911 and was
stationed at Fort Banks, Winthrop,

KNOX COUNTY BOYS
RETURN FROM GERMANY

Chas. g. Black. son of Mrs. A. w.
Hopper. and Chas. p. Terrell, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Esom Terrell OF Swan
Lake, Ky, are back from Germany
following nearly eleven months SER
vice in France and with the Army OF
Occupation in Germany.
They first went TO Camp Taylor,
Kentucky. from there to Camp Beau
regard. La, and to Camp Mills, L.
l.. en-transit to La Havre, France.
On September 9TH the convoy was
attacked, the day being one Of the
prettiest imaginable. The American
sub chasehrs were present but the
submarine. which was not seen, rose
to the left and got the boat next to
the one on which they were travel
ing. The torpedoed boat ran ashore
on the Scilly Islands to the south of
England and none Of the soldiers
were lost tho some OF the stokers
were killed by the force of the ex-
plosion.
Messrs. Black and Terrell were
with the seth Division which was
used for requirements and which
was attached to the 9TH Corps. The
boys we're with the seth and 9Oth
Divisions and were in the Meuse-
Argonne engagements with head
quarters at Beaume-Voix. Not a
man of the Company was lost in the
three days engagement from Nov
ember Sth to 18th tho the Division
itself was badly shot up.
After the signing of the armistice
they spent five months with the
Army of Occupation at Minderlitt-
gen some fifty kilometers from Cob
LEM. This is great grape country
and the people are very hard work
ing. Having no horses the Germans
MIXED the cows, attached them to
the plows and used them in the place
of horses.
They left Germany May 9Th, sailed
from Brest June 26th and arrived
in Boston June 30th and we're dis
charged at Camp Taylor July 9Th.

THRIFT FOLLOWS naRnEcrE

On occasion the organizers Of War
Savings Societies have their lots
cast in most happy places, and the
reports that find their way TO head
quarters are Of real interest.
o. p. Spark, one of the Arkansas
field workers, on recent visit to
Danville, Yell County went thru
one Of these experiences, and his re-
port to Moorhead Wright, State d.
rector at Little Rock, was repletc
with a happy relation of the facts.
Stark was evidently unaware that
the members Of the Yell County
Boys Pig Club and the Girls Can
ming Club were to have a field day
on that particular time. The down
town streets we're deserted, many Of
the stores we're closed and inquiry
revealed the reason.
Stark followed the throngs and
was Just in time to reach the place
of assembly before the huge joints
Of Juicy beef, lambs and fowls had
been removed from spits placed
above trenches dug deep in the
ground, where bed of glowing en-
bers was even yet adding a coat OF
brown to. the meats, and was free
ing savory odors that conjured up
visions of the feasts enjoyed by
Robin Hood and his forest rovers
in the heart of Sherwood Forest in
Merrie England.
And when the feast was spread
the viands were attacked with a gus
to and ample justice was done.
Then the boys told about their
venture in pigs, and the handiwork
of the girls in the art of food pre-
seryation was dweit on in words,
and their wares sampled.
But this was not all. Thrift had
a place on the program. j. c. Cham
bers told of the value of the Cam
paign of Thrift planned by the U. s.
Treasury Department, and how,
what the boys and girls had accom-
plished was the outgrowth of that
campaign.
He explained the value of the War
Savings Societies that were spring
ing up all over the country, and told
the boys and girls that all they had
accomplished would count for moth
ing did they not practice real saw
ing. He told Of the advantages of
Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps, which he said would pave
the way for prosperity when those
who are boys and girls now have
reached manhood and womanhood.
Chambers said there should be at
least 95 such circles in Yell County.

My dear Mrs. Cole
As you have doubtless been advis.
ed, the woman's Committee Council
of National Defense. Kentucky Divi-
sion, has concluded its work and
passed out OF existence.
Founded as a national organiza-
ton for the war emergency, the w.
c. G. N. d. enjoyed the distinction
OF having been the first and only
body Of women to engage in war
work under Government supervi-
sion. That its labors, generally
speaking, we're accomplished with un
usual ability and fidelity to the best
interests of the nation, is something
of which | feel quite sure we are all
very proud.
| should indeed be remiss in my
duty, as we'll as recreant to that
spirit of friendship and good will
which I feel for all of our County
Unit Chairmen, and for the women
who have worked with them so in
defatigably, did | not take this last
opportunity to express my appreci-
alton of your efforts and my very
great happiness in having worked
with you.
So far as | am aware, | close my
work as Secretary with the friend
ship and good will of each one of
our County Chairmen. | am glad to
be able to feel that this is true and
l trust that the relations which have
proved so pleasant and cordial may
ever serve as happy reminder Of
the days when we worked together
to achieve a common end.
You and your women had the mo-
rale, the grit, the will to win and
you inspired your men and boys with
courage and hope; you imbued the
other women with whom you came
in contact with that same spirit.
You were the sentiment makers of
your community as we'll as the ex-
ponents of the true meaning of those
two words service and sacrifice
words which contain the real def
milton of patriotism.
We shall not, hope, soon forget
the important lessons of the war,
chief among which is the still grow
ing need of thrift and Americana
alton.
My best wishes and kindest re-
CARDS go with you always. 1t has
been a joy to have been associated
with you in the splendid work of the
Woman's Committee.
Sincerely yours,
Isabel Lewis.

headache, backache and worry, turn to
the right prescription, one gotten up by
DIR. Pierce fifty years ago.
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establish
ing natural conditions. DIR. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y, long since found out what
Is naturally best for women's diseases.
He learned it all through treating thou
sands of cases. The result of his studies
was medicine called Dr. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription. This medicine is made
OF vegetable growths that nature surely
intended for backache, headache, weak
ening, bearing-down pains, Irregularities,
pelvic inaammations, and for the many
disorders common to women in all ages of
Life. DR.. Perce's Favorite Prescription is
made Of lady's slipper root, black cohosh
root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root and
Oregon grape root. Dr. Pierce knew,
when he first made this standard medi-
cine, that whiskey and morphine are in
furious, and SO he has always kept them
out Of his remedies. Women who take
this standard remedy know that in DIR.
Rerce's Favorite Prescription they arc
getting safe woman's tonic 80 good that
druggists everywhere sell it, in liquid or,
