Record Of Jackson County
Soldiers To Be Complied.

Mrs. W. F. Sadler, of Gaines
boro, has been appointed Mother
Chairman for Jackson County to
collect individual records of the
soldiers of this county in the
great world war. Mrs. Sadler
will appoint district chairmen to
assist her in the work.
The following letter from John
Trotwood Moore. chairman war
history committee. for Tennes-
see, gives in detail the work
10 be done by Mrs. Sadler and
district chairmen.
March 3, 1920,
Dear Madam;
At a meeting Of the Tennes-
see Historical Committee in Nash
vile, January 29th, 1920. it was
unanimously recommended that
the Mother Chairman of each
county now collecting the indi.
vidual records of the Tennessee
soldiers in the Great World War,
should use every effort to collect
along with the records. all letters
medals, maps. trophies, souve-
Mrs and everything that would
throw light on the subject for
future historians.
I'VE especially request you to
ask the parents to send in to
the Archives. all letters written
by the boys while in camp, or in
France, and newspaper clippings
about them. These will be filed
and preserved in large scrop
books made especially for this
purpose, that they may be read
by future historians.
ut Is of especial Importance,
also. that you assist us to collect
war relics and war souvenirs for
our War History Museum to be
kept and exhibited at the State
Capitol. Here they will be care
fully preserved with a descrip.
ton, and the name of tho dona.
tor therein.
Shall we now preserve the
names and deeds of these SOL
diers in the Archives of Tennes.
see where they will be read and
known for ali times an inspira'
ton for future generatlonS-o OF
shall we neglect them and per-
NIT them and their glorious deeds
to be forgotten?
1T will be to the States last
ing shame if they are neglected
and their deeds are not perpet'
uated with our history. 1t is vi
to the mothers to help us pre-
serve the records of their boys
Many have died in battle, of di
sease or wound-their voices arr
silent they cannot speak fol
tbemselves-even their grave'
are on far-distant bat;lefelds II
Europe. Will you not speak TO
them-act for them work TO
them? Many of them CAV
their lives for you-for peace
and for that liberty which shal
secure for you and your children
for all times the right to live i
peace and enjoy the fruit o
your own liberty and labor. F"

The Country Press Praises
By American Red Cross.


the Red Cross Briefs. q weekly
publication issued in the interest
of the Southern Division of the
Red Cross, and published at At
lanta. Ga.
Among the many things which
the war brought home 10 the
nation was the big part played
and the big influence welded in
American life by what-for
want of better term-is gen.
orally referred to as the small
town or country newspaper.
There was a time when the
country newspaper and the coun-
try editor were the butts of jokes
and the signal for smiles. That
time is past; gone, we believe.
forever The war helped to do
it, for the war. as in many other
instances, jolted the sophistics-
ted and lazy national conscious
ness into the realization Of the
Importance, the significance and
the genuine worth of the coun-
try press.
One Of the proudest pages IN
the history of Americas share
| in the war is that devoted to The
universal and unswerving loyal
| ty of its newspapers which, sl-
most without exception, gave
the most selfless sort of service
to the common cause of country.
And of Americas newspapers
the patriotism and service ox
none were more marked than,
thai of the country papers
Their part cannot be overestima-
ted; their reward is in gaining .
recognition, which they always
deserved, of an Importance
which they have always possess
ed and which will be theirs in Q
greater degree than ever hence
forth. Z
The country newspaper has Q
character and an individuality all
its own. 1t occupies, however
however small. a position in the
community which no other news
paper, however big, can displace.
Without disparaging in the least
the large dailies. they cannot by
their very nature. ever dispute
the peculiar field which the coun-
try paper and it alone occupies.
1t has the place of an institution
in the community life. a place al
its own in the community heart.
and it should have the loyal and
whole-hearted community sup
port.
i The Red Cross, in common
with the rest of the nation owes
the country press a debt Of graf
itude for its work in the war and
a full measure of appreciation
, for its value to America today.
In especial does the Southern
Division of the Red Cross feel
that the newspapers in the diyis-
ion merit the warmest regard Of
Red Cross members. They were
J most instrumental in making the
Red Cross a power in the war.
and today they are prime fac.
, tor in helping 10 maintain tie
, Red Cross as a lasting influence
for humanity's betterment.

Prevent Dieases By Cleaning
Up Your Premises.

Spring Is coming, and with lts
coming many things must be
done. Ground must be prepar-
ed and crops planted, that man
may live thru the next winter
season. But, other things should
also be done that man may en-
JOY the fruit of his labor. for
certain diseases are more pre-
valent during the warm season.
The peach trees will be bud
ding; but so also will the typhoid
germs" be breeding,
The dogwood will bloom; but
the housefly will multiply.
The grass will grow green; and
the malaria parasite will take up
his journey from mar to to man
with the mosquito playing the
dual part of host and vehicle.
So let us this year conduct our
spring cleaning" with the pre-
vention of disease as we'll as the
attractiveness of the home in
mind.
It is important to clean up the
attic; but It is infinitely more
worth while to clean out the in.
sanitary surface privy and re-
model it so flies may not breed
in the transport of filth; and also
that such filth may not wash or
seep into a water supply. The
State Board of Health, at Nash
vile, will tell you how and why,
if you will but ask.
The guest room may need
spring cleaning; but it is also
important to clean up the barn.
yard and out-buildings, that flies
may not breed, and to provide a
garbage pail with a fly-proof
cover, that they may starve to
death when bred. Swat the fly
in early spring, for one killed
then means a bushel less in
August, so fast does his tribe in
crease.
The dining room and kitchen
may be thoroughly scrubbed and
cleaned; but for safety's sake
screen the house with well-ftting
screens, that flies mag not carry
filth to human food and baby's
lips.
Repair the back porch where
it is broken thru; but build 6
tight concrete carb about the
well to exclude surface washings
and the entrance of filth tracked
by the feet of fowls and animals
both human and otherwise.
If you have not taken typhoid
vaccine in the past two years,
take it early this spring, that thu
stable of safety may be locked
before the steed of health Il
stolen,
Should you live in a malaria
section, it will also be necessar!
to do some mosquito ''sprini
cleaning. that the malaria para
site may find no host and nj
transportation waiting when h
arrives on the scene. Houses il
such localities should be com

Bare Knees. Away!

Quincy Journal: the beach au-
thorities at Atlantic City have decreed
that there shall be no bare feminine
knees on the beach If they are more
than 16 years of age. No matter how
shapely the calves, the decree has it,
the young ladies must wear stockings.
The one-piece bathing suit also has
met its waterloo. The chorus girls
of Atlantic City were trembling for
their jobs. No burlesque show dis
played anything more startling to
sight seers than the beach at Atlantic
City.
But now everything has changed.
The bathing suit must have at least
two pieces and must cover the form
more than the average coat of tan.
Daughters who go out to swim, but
who go not near the water, will prom
enade hereafter clad somewhat diff
ferent than the gowns OF Mother Eve.
The announcement of the beach
guardians does not say whether the
ruling is to guard morals or to save
the tired business man from heart fail

would be startled hereafter must seek
out the beaches of the Pacific where
