SCHOLARSHIPS FOR MOUNTAIN
CHILDREN THROUGH ELLA
WILSON MEMORIAL
In this moment of our country’s:
crisis, when w-e need well-fitted boys
and girls in every community in every
state, whether in the mountainous re
gions or the lowlands, it is gratifying
to know that this year 16 boys and
girls living in the high mountainous
regions in the Central South will have
school advantages through scholar
ships to be given this year by the El
len Wilson Memorial Endowment fund
At a meeting held by the trustees of
the fund and by members of the state
divisions, with the administrative
chairman, Mrs. W. S. Elkin, Friday, a
report was made which made it possi
ble for the trustees to give 16 scholar
ships this year. The money for the
scholarships is ‘he interest on the en
dowment fund, which is increased
each year by individuals appreciative
of this opportunity to give deserving
boys and girls a chance to obtain an
education.
In discussing the annual reports of
the various chairmen of the memomrial
endowment, Mrs. W. S. Elkin, chair
man. spoke appreciatively of the gen
eral recognition being given the work
of the memorial, and the generous con
tributions this year to the fund. Shj
said:
“Our policy to give scholarships to
sdiocls already organized enables us
to follow up the record of the boys
and girls who get them, and at the
meeting Friday reports were most en
couraging, letters bearing testimony of
the work of the pupils, coming from
the heads of the school; also from the
chaildren themselves.
“Since the outbreak of the war, when
the boys of this section, in common
with those of the nation, are being
drafted for war duty, the need becomes
vital for the training and preparation
o‘‘ boys still under age, who must,
while they wait for war duty, be the
soldiers at home. Upon them, while
they are under age, will come the duty
of tilling the soil, planting and rais
ing the crops. In all of the mountain
schools to which they are so far given
scholarships, there is the practical in
struction being given the boys in ag
riculture and in manual training, so
that while the mind is being trained
and they are given the general acad
emic course, they are at the same
time being fitted for actual work while
"The same program in training is
pursued in these schools for the girls.
Together with their regular cooking,
dairying, poultry raising, and in sev
eral of the schools they are given an
elementary course that will enable
them to become themselves practical
farmers and efficient housewives.
“While doing the relief work and
the general preparedness for actual
war, we cannot forget the prepared
ness in the lives of our boys and girls
to whom we look for our future citiz
ens and homemakers. We must keep
up our schools and keep them up to
the standard. There is no more prac
tical way to aid in maintaining them
than through scholarships, which en
able deserving boys and girls to get to
school.” —Atlanta Constitution.
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
ALLIES REBSILD
SECTION PASSED
OVER BY TLUTONS
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD. —Whole towns erased
by dynamite, or orchards sheared off
at the ground and towering rows oi
rcad-side trees methodically felled
these scenes of merciless destruction
iUustrate why the British soldier wants
retribution against the Boche.
Tommy goes ahead repairing the
roads and clearing the debris from
village streets, admitting that it was
military good sense for the enemy to
obstruct the lines of pursuit.
But the Germans said they did these
things to prevent the concealment of
troops. And the soldier reasons in
this way; The Boche aeroplanes nev
er get over anyway to observe wher;
the troops are massing. So what dif
ference could it make whether they
have concealment? Also, the Boche
was careful to ruin orchards, but he
left many acres of dense but unpro
ductive woods.
What’s the answer? Strafe ’em.
Peronne Cathedral refutes the plea
of military necessity. Dynamite blew
out the east wall and two sides and
brought the dome crashing amid the
prostrate stone columns. Today the
interior is a mountain of hopeless
wreckage. On its sag:ing balcony the
pipe organ sings the ghost of a peace
time anthem as the June breeze goes
soughing through the valves. The pipes
jangle as a brick is dislodged and
tumbles to the floor. Far away the
guns boom.
The British never shelled the church
The remaining west wall is not scar
red by shell fragments. It was left
standing to hamper British observa
ion.
At the outskirts of the town lies
Perrone cemetery where the Boche
dug in among the dead. Corpses were
thrown into bonfires and the vaults
occupied by German officers as dug
outs. Two trench lines run straight
through the cemetery.
Military necessity made the enemy
smash the door of a French family
where six dead had slept for manv
years. The coffins remained exposed.
Two English guard regiments with a
little feud between them went into th j
cemetery on the heels of the Boche.
The first arrivals found one coffin
t oared by a machine-gun bullet from
the direction of their advance. This
message was on the white-washed
wall:
“The Boche may have had dug-outs
here but he didn't shoot the hole’in the
far-off coffin.”
To which the late-comers scribbled
this reply:
“Neither did they write on the walls,
you blackguards.”
Strewn with the fragments of head
stones and battlefield junk are count
less bead-work wreaths, placed by
mourners in days of peace. "A Notre
Chere Grandmere,” said the inscrip
tion on one. Grandmere’s grave may
be one of those pried open.
At the edge of the cemetery was a
very little grave, carpeted blue with
forget-me-nots. The headstone said
Madelaine was only four years old.
The Boche had not touched it. Nearby,
a row of wooden “from Oresses” each
inscribed “Under Kamerade,” gave
proof that the German cadever factory
lost some raw material through senti
ment.
At ArraS the Cathedral and the Ho
tel de Ville are smashed beyond pos
sibility* of restoration. Only a small
corner of the hotel survives as a mem
ory of that grand specimen of Spanish
Some one said “You're going to
have a photograph made before
you go, aren't you?” And you
promised.
You and your family will be
proud of that picture in years to
come.

architecture. •
Bapaume is a hideous shell, al
though the Australians have cleared
up the streets. Here an Austrailian,
peacefully tending a cooking stew,
told how the Boche hate goes mad a:
times.
“A German naval gun tries to shell
us now and again,” he said. “But the
gunners must be crazy, judging from
the way they shoot.” The road toward
Albert runs through the cemetery
where the British artillery first dis
covered its strength. Ruin stretches
for miles. On top of the Butte da
Warlencourt is a wooden monument
by a British regiment erected to their
comrades who died storming the coun
try.
There is not the slightest trace of
the town. With a field-glass aband
oned tanks may be sighted on this
old battle-field, one of them labelled
in Russian "Petrograd.”
It is inconceivable to the battle
tourist that the country was green
farmland and woods, dotted with vil
lages before the Boche came.
The famous bronze statue of the
Virgin still hangs from the steeple of
the church at Albert. The surviving
French townspeople are sure it will
never fall. That is their faith.
The Allied armies and America’s
men are their hope.
Maybe there will be charity after
the war —but the present retribution.

TO PALE PEOPLE—
YOUR BLOOD MAY BE
STARVING FOR IRON!
If Your Blood Needs Iron, It Needs ZIRON, the New

ing”, perhaps even grecr.ish-tinged, ycu are probably cf an anemic or chlorotic
nature, and your blood needs Ziron, to bring back the rich, red flush of health.
Ziron, the new compound cf iron, the hypophosphites of lime and soda, anc
other tonic, strengthening ingredients, has been f ound cf great value in conditions
of simple anemia, chlorosis, debility, nervousness, lack of ambition, loss of appe
tite, dyspepsia, etc. It is a valuable reconstructive tonic, in cases cf weakness,

Mrs. Mae Belle Perkins, of Adairsville, Ga., writes: “About two months ago
1 get to feeling badly. My back hurt me badly, and my legs and arms hurt too,
and I didn’t have any appetite at all to eat. About two weeks ago 1 commenced
taking Ziron, according to directions on the bctile ... By the time I had taken the
medicine far a week, I could see it was doing me good. 1 had been weak and
nervous, and it made me feci stronger, and I’m not a bit nervous now. My back is
all right, and arms a.. J legs do net ache. And my appetite is good again.
Before I started using Ziron I wouldn’t rest r.t night, I was so tired feeling and
felt worn c::t. i Eave u:pd nearly the v.bcic bottle and now I sleep fine every
night. It sure is a fine medicine, ar.cl I a::r glad I tried it.”
Ziron is non-alcoholic, contains no habit-forming drugs, acts gently, has no bad
after-effects, is good for me :, wemon and children. Il is a medicine of genuine
merit, composed of ingredients prescribed by eminent physicians. Try it.
