THE LOCAL RED CROSS WORK
Leaders in the local Red Cross ac
tivities are allowing the work to lag
somewhat during the past few weeks.
While a rather large membership has
been secured there are yet many who
have not joined the ranks and 1h
campaign for membership should con
tinue until a majority of the people
In the county are identified with the
organization at least-as members.
This hold up in activities is due to
several causes. Various present
needs have claimed the attention of
the leaders, making it necessary to
defer an intensive campaign until
conditions are such as to insure its
success. This temporary cessation in
activities will not work any special
detriment to the final results to be ob
tained. While the need is immediate
it will not be short lived, it will very

dressed to the commanding officer of
the late soldier’s company. This ap
plication should be accompanied
with affidavits of the fact that the
claimant is the legal representative
entitled to receive the effects of the
deceased soldier.
The accounts of deceased soldiers
are settled by the Auditor for the
War Department, Washington, D. C.,
who is the official of the Treasury De>.
•partment charged by law with the set
tlement of claims of this character
and to whom application should be
made by the legal representative of
the late soldier'for settlement of his

the deceased soldier, for the place of.

A REAL NEIGHBOR
The editor of the Cordele Dispatch
pays very generous tribute to the
feeble efforts we are putting forth to
nake the News worth reading and at
he same time render some small serv-
ce tp the county in the way of pro
moting general advancement.
Thanks Mr. Brown. A neighbor
vho will give a fellow a boost like
'his is a neighbor worth having. Al-
'hough perfectly aware of our failure
o measure up to such a standard,
•uch encouraging comment as this
ertainly has a tendency to stimulate

In evezft of death among officers or

period the proceeds of the sale are de
posited in the United-States Treasury

Atlanta, Ga., July.—William J-J,
Harris, , chairman of the Federal
Trade Commission who has just,*#*;
turned from Washington after spend- 1
ing ten days here on matters connect
ed with the work of the Commission,
was urged by a great many- of Ms
friends to make the race for the U.
S. Senate to succeed Thomas ,W.
Hardwick, whose opposition to Pres
ident Wilson is onei of the uppermost
subjects of discussion in legislative,
and political circles.
While Mr. Harris has not made up
his mind as to whether he will he a
candidate, and in fact has not been
inclined to discuss it, his friends in
sist that he should make the race And
the general expectation is that he
will be a factor in the contest.
Mr. Harris is very much interested
in securing reduced coal prices, and
his opinion is that the government
will fix a price almost as low as pre
vailing prices in normal times, under
the provisions of the food control bill
authorizing the regulation of fue^ as
well as food. *

Every pound of the Buckeye Hulls contains much more food value
because the lint on the old style hulls has no food value. ^
The price per pound of real roughage in the form of Buckeye Hulls
is very much less than in the form of the old style hulls. Buckeye
Hulls do not clog or flux the digestive tract. Other foodsmlxed with -
them are readily assimilated.
\ They arc free of trash and dust.
.'They are sacked and easy to handle. . — ,
They take half as much space in the barn.
If you have not tried Buckeye Hulls, please remember that thousands
of feeders are using them and will use no other roughage. If you
have not given Buckeye Hulls a fair trial, let the experience of these /
successful feeders guide you in using them as they should be used.
Mr, Olwey Yarber, BconeviUt, Ark.,
has Jed a carload of Buckeye Hulls to cows and calves
to get them ready for the ranae. He had been teed-
