The hope of the world is in the Red Cross, because the Red Cross is voicing this spirit and pur pose that must, through the force of our arms triumph. Just to the de gree that we can evidence this Red Cross spirit of mercy and brotherhood we will hold true in the dangerous hour of victory to the ideals that have forced us into the trenches in the de fense of human rights and human lib erty. This one ane and saving thought in this relirium of death that now pos sesses the world is the Red Cross. Wherever the storms of battle hell rage, amid the fires of ruthless de struction, in trench and camp and hos pital, these soldiers of mercy with heroism unsurpassed are carrying the flag of the higest conceivable idea of humanity. The ideals for which our armies have taken the field are, by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed to friend and foe, in that unmistak able language of universal mercy and brotherhood. In the terms of the wasted towns rebuilt, of broken hu manity salvaged, of dying children rescued, of desolate families succored, the Red Cross declares the cause for which we war and proclaims the prin ciples and ideals that must and will in the end prevoil. Above the thunder of the guns, the road of exploding mines, the crash of fallen cities and the cries of tortured humanity, the voice of the Red Cross carries clear and strong the one message of hope to our war-burdened world. ■.he ola r k horror o’ the world's crisis would be unbearable were it not for the spirit and work of this mighty force. The normal mind refuses to contemplate the situation without this saving power. It is the knowledge that in every city, town and hamlet, men, women and children are united in this work of declaring to the world, through the Red Cross, our message of mercy „nd brotherhood, that keeps our hearts from sinking under the burden of woe and sustains our faith in human <lcd. ■ It is the constant daily, almost hour ly touch with the Red Cross wn-'- - •'? felt b - every citizen in 1 < that in ~: r .s us with cmi.. o t hope. Out of this hell of slaughtei the Red Cross will guide the warring nations to a heaven of world-wide peace and brotherhood. Because it is the living expression of those ideals and principles in de fense of which we are giving our all in lives and material wealth —because on every field of death it is proclaim ing its message of life—because it keeps ever before us and the world the cause for which we war—because it will preserve us in the hour of vic tory from defeating ourselves —the Red Cross is the hope of the world.

The spring drive in France and Flanders came just in time to rouse the planters. Cotton is being supplanted by po tatoes, corn, rice, and other food crops, in some places but a total cur tailment of cotton out probably will not be great. Florida is producing about 50,000 carloads of foodstuff for shipment to the north and west. W. G. McAdoo, director general of railroads, has promised to supply the 50,000 cars. Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missis sippi are increasing food acreage from 25 to 50 per cent. Though many of the farmers’ sons have gone to war, the shortage of labor has been sup plied in many cases by purchase oi tractors and other farm machinery. Six million acres of corn have been planted near Memphis, Tennessee. Mississippi farmers hope to raise 20,- 000.000 bushels of corn. Late corn and potatoes were ob jects of a special meeting of the Geor gia Farmers’ Unon last week. Weather conditions have been bad in Alabama, but the state agricultural bureau estimates the wheat crop at 87 per cent of normal, compared with only 68 per cent last year. First Grade Pupil Is <B.
