IN LOVING MEMORY

Mrs. Rachel Francis Johnson was
born July 2S, 1912, and died March
"a 1920. She was married to Will
liam johnson February End. 1871
and to them were born seven sons
and one daughter. They are all
living. She Joined Oak Grove Bap-
fist church in 1886. In 1887 she
moved her membership to Wood
wards Valley Baptist church. Here
she lived a christian life until called
from labor to reward. She exempli-
fed pure religion in visiting and
ministering to the wants of the sick.
She was a remarkably industrious
woman. Though confined to her
bed for three and one half years,
she continued to work and spent
much of her time in knitting fer
the soldiers and others.
She bore her Affections well, new.
er complained but always said Let

name of the Lord" Her husband
and children appropriately dressed
her body in spotless white and plac-
ed it in a white casket. Those to
my mind, represent Rev. 7:14
"These are they which come out OF
great tribulation and have washed
cir robes and made them white in
e blood of the Lamb" After fun

AT THE CHICAGO CONVENTION

Dlegates from Kentucky and 9TH
err States to the Republican National
Convention in Chicago may be in
terested in learning that they are
not expected to have anything to do
with the nomination of Republic
can candidate for President. or
course, they are to assemble at the
Convention Hall, and go through
the form of casting their ballot for
some one of the candidates, but lest
any of them labor under the delu-
sion that they are to really have any
voice in the selection of the Repub-
lican candidate we are printing for
their information and guidance re-
cent statement made by Harry
Daugherty, who is manager of Sena-
tor Harding's campaign for the Re-
publican Presidential nomination.
Mr.. Daugherty said:
IL don't expect SeGat"! Ha rdir-
to be nominated on the first, second
or third ballot. but think we can
we'll afford to take our chances that
about eleven minutes after 2 o'clock
Friday morning at the convention
when fifteen or twenty men, some
what weary, are sitting around Ia
BILE, some one of them will say,
Whom shall we nominate" At that
decisive time the friends of Senator
Harding can suggest him and can
afford to abide by the result"
The above statement is part Of
an interview given out by Senator
Harding's campaign manager, and
was intended to boost the chances
Of his chief for securing the nomina-
ton.
Mr.. Daugherty is a Republican OF
the old school, and he reveals an in
innate knowledge of the workings
of Republican National Conventions.
The delegates, a thousand or so OF
them. are there. to be sure. They
are given some latitude in their vOt-
ing so long as a nomination cannot
be made. The bosses indulge them
TO air their views at the Convention
hall, and enjoy themselves generally
But about eleven minutes after
two o'clock on Friday morning (why
the unlucky day2 the real work OF
selecting the candidate will be done
Fifteen or twenty men will gather

around the table. Boss Penrose will
he at the head. Boss Barnes will
be there. So will Boss Crane, and
Smoot and Hert. The situation will
be gone over. Each candidate will
be appraised. A decision will be
reached, and the Republican candi-
date for the Presidency will be
named. Then a messenger will be
selected. Maybe it will be Mr.. Hert.
Anyway, somebody will go out of
the ante-room to the convention hall
tell the boys whom they are to vote
for, the last ballot will be taken, and
Republican nominee for President
will be put forth as the overwhelm-
ing popular choice of a convention
that was peoples gathering, and
assembled to register the peoples
will.

RED CROSS BRIEFS

Appraisal of the estate of the late
James A. Scrymser, pioneer in link
ing the Americans by cable systems,
who designated the American Red
Cross and st. Luke's hospital, New
York, as his chief eventual legatees,
places his fortune at S2,923,940.
Mr.. Scrymser was one of the lead
ers in a movement to erect a Nation
al Headquarters building for. the
American Red Cross.
National Headquarters of the Red
Cross has appropriated $4,000
from its disaster relief fund to
fight the droughts in Montana and
North Dakota.
Hebert Quick, former member of
the Farm Loan Board heads a COM
nilsson about to sail for Siberia to
superintend the closing of Red Cross
operations there.
The Red Cross has just inaugural
ed a special service in seaport towns
for the men and boys who man the
merchant ships of the United States.
An appropriation of $4,000 from
the National Children's Fund of the
American Red Cross to be used for
Junior Red Cross activities in the
Virgin Islands has just been announ-
ced by National Headquarters of the
Red Cross.
The American Red Cross has pho
tographed all but 5000 of the co.
900 graves of Americans who lost
their lives in the war. These photo
graphs are being sent the families Of
the fallen heroes.
There are forty-six Red Cross
nurses engaged in Red Cross Public
Health Nursing in Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky. Requests from chap
tiers for nurses are being received at
division headquarters in Cleveland
faster than they can be supplied.
Through the medium of the Red
Cross, 1907 soldiers and sailors,
during the period between January
10 and March 1, received Liberty
Bonds for which they subscribed
during their term of service and
which for various reasons they had
been unable to receive.

: BURSTS OF FIVE 4

when our party arrived in Camp
Taylor to begin l,training, the
Company Commander had Ser
geant to search our suit cases, and
pockets thoroughly, but the only
dangerous weapon found was u
quart of liquor in one fellows peck
ct. This, the "Sarg'' confiscated.
The next day the poor fellow from
whom the whiskey was taken, be-
came sick an din few days died at
the Base Hospital. A few days later.
l was assigned to sweep, dust and
mop the Orderly Room and while at
work, heard the following CONVEX
sation between the Top Kicker and
the Skipper:
'How's that fellow getten along?"
'Died day before yesterday"
"Did he have contagious disease?"
Eyes, sir
" 'Nothr good quart gone to h"
How many soldiers remember
their first "balling out?" Mine is
still fresh in my memory.
We had learned to do the facings,
march in column Of twos and few
other things, and were taking our
first lesson in the school of the
squad. After making one circle of
the field in squad formation, we
were commanded to Squads, Right,
Compan-e-e, Halt! Just as
circled round. my pants (Which were
about 6 sizes too large) came down
so low that could scarcely walk, so
reached down and pulled them up
Just as we swung into Company
Front. The Company Commander
saw me and the following converse
ton ensued:
Get your hands down there, D.
you"
"AIy pants were coming down. Sir"
when you are at attention, l want
you to keep your blankety blank
hands down, even if your d. britch-
es come off of you"
"Ye-Yes, Sir"
When we had been in France
about a month, all the Machine Gun
Companies OF our Division were NOV
ed to Les AK where we resumed
training under the supervision of
two French Officers, who had seen
considerable service at the Front.
Twas while located here that did
the hardest days work of my entire
life. Six companies were located
within the city limits and all were
supplied with water from a large
we'll about a quarter Of mile out of
town. There were no horses with
us at that time so the companies
took time-a-bout hauling the water
by man power. One bright Sunday
morning, after a week of strenuous
drill, ate breakfast and was pre-
pairing for a days rest, when an or
derby came to the stable in which
we were billeted and called off 10
names, among them, mine. We Sc
cured ropes and hand sticks and
hitched ourselves to the water wag-
on and all day long, we pumped wat
err and hauled ii to the various COM
panies. Believe me, 1882 men do
use some water in a day, for cook
ing, washing and drinking. That
Sunday will always retain place in
the memory of yours truly.
