An Excellent Record The annual report of the Carters ville Chapter of the Red Cross, pub lished in this issue of The Tribune News, contains one of the most in teresting statements, showing war r.etivitie of those at home, which has been made public recently. There is. a grand total or 30,112 ar .it'es noted as having been made and stii; off by the Cartersville chapter and iis auxiliaries during the brief twelve months in which it has been at work. The figures are large in themselves, and worthy of a member ship double that of the local chapter— yet they do not tell of the countless hours of patient toil necessary to complete the year's work, and no one but the Red Cross workers themsel ves can ever know what sacrifices have been made, in order that oui boys over there might not suffer needlessly because of a shortage of bandages, when they had been wound ed so severly that life itself would have left their pain-racked bodies had not the patient tollers here at hame provided the means to hasten their recovery. Surely, the heart of every son -of chi Bartow county, now doing his bit "Over There'' will swell with un ieigned pride, when the news reaches him that the folks back home have ceen working for his welfare, and that ihey have made up and shipped some thirty thousand aritcles. The soldier boy will fight with a letter vim, and with a determination norn of gratitude, once the news of this remarkable record reaches him. Not only have the Bartow Couniy workers performed a Herculean task, and one worthy of any chapter, in providing hospital bandages, and oth er means of assuring comfort for the soldiers, but their efforts will go fat toward accentuating the morale ol every man who hears of their won derful record. , , r 4**- A —- The actual v^ ect 01 sut 'h a year’s work is really incalculable, and J o the good women, the patient toilers— _ , .uose who have made great sacrifices —worked in season and out —when the days were cold, and into sum mer.- heat—in cloud and sunshine — we would offer them the everlasting gratitude of a grateful soldiery, and the folks who; for one reason or another—had no part in achieving the truly wonderful record of thirty thousand, one hundred and twelve separate items. GO TO CHURCH. Now that the summer weather is upon us, there is a noticeable tend c-tuy on the part of some church-go < r s to “cut" the services. This is an unfortunate condition, and while no more prevalent in Ur's section than others, still it is one that should not prevail. As one minister stated recently tc bis congregation, it is the preacher who has the work to do, while the at tend>ant is nm k as comfortable as ;. ossible. The minister spends many hours in We c In line chants of store on ' thought and preparation for his Sun day dissertations, and it is as little os his membership can do, to conic cut( and by their presence, inspire him to even more dilligent service fo: the .Masters cause. in this time of great stress, our peo nle hoiild realize that the best place tor meditation is the church; here one may aways find the sympathetic ear, and the word of God is to be heard at every service. Go to church Sunday morning and evening. If there is service on Saturday, as i- the case in the country, be there too. Invite your friends to accompany you. Some time a personal invitation goes further than anything else. ITs your inflflueflnce for the good of man kind. COTTON. Bartow county farmers have found a number of crops that beat cotton both as a money crop and as a crop much easier to get ready for market At this season, the farmers arc gathering wheat, and the yield this year is said to he bountiful. With the price good, and the demand in excess of the supply, there is nc reason why thousands of dollars won't be left in Bartow county thai otherwise would go elsewhere for fng purchase of wheat products. And alfalfa is proving a mighty profitable crop. For instance, Mr. w D. Pittard, of the Cassville district, had an unusually fine stand of this folage crop, and found a ready sale for all he cared to sell. He will get possibly four crops from the one planting this year. Corn, peanuts and potatoes are at so showing up well, and because they are food crops, the. planters are serv ing a double purpcoe by complying with the government’s request urging the raising of food crops, and also stand in a good way to make larg returns from all such crops. The cottau market is too fickle, and when food crops are so badly needed, it behooves every man having land to think twice, and sometimes three times before giving it over to cotton A TRIBUTE. “The Churchman,” the national j< urnal of the Protestant Episcopal church, published weekly in New Vork, recently published a lovely tribute to the memory of Miss Elise Gordon Stiles, daughter of Mr. \V. H Stiles, one of the best known citiz ens ot Bartow county. This younr woman, it will be renumbered, lost' her life in the sinking of the coas' J wise steamer, City of Athens, off the coast of New Jersey, on the morning or May 1,1 b 18. She had been spend ing the winter in New York City, and was en route home, for a brief vaca tion, before entering upon larger do ties. IT’ ' Kn't- e<!

Dear Sir: We desire through the medium oi your paper to express our sincere tiiauks and appreciation to every one of those loyal sons and daughters of old Bartow, who in the recent drive tor Red Cross contributions, so will ingly gave both their time and money to this great cause. Practically u-y district from Pine leg rn the north to Allatoona on the south and from Stamp Creek east to lion Hill west, responded nobly and thus it was that Bartow county spread her fame not only in Georgia but '..ii-oughout the entire Vailed Slates THE TRIBUNE-NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, JUNE 13, 1918 lor her liberality and patriotic spirit Without the cooperation and hard work put up by those ninety-six local committeemen in the various districts over the county, we would not ha' e accomplished anything .and we hope that each individual one of them will realize that we feel a deep sense of gratitude to them for what they have done, and they should have that knowledge that every Bartow county boy now in the ranks—fighting for tiiose who gave, and God save the mark, those who did not, will fight all the more bravely and nobly for their efforts. We are due much to Miss Godda and for her work in getting out all the letters to the- committeemen —some big job, but a contribution which she willingly and ungrudgingly gave.
