SoUtherir Girls Do
Fine Nursing Work
100 girls from the Southern states
have earned the thanks of 1000
Yanks ’at a base hospital on the
outskirts if Paris for their woik as
American Red Crcss’nurses.
These men were tenderly cared
for after one of the awful drives, and
the unit doing the fine work was
eoinposed of University of Virginia
men and the 100 Southern- girls al
ready mentioned.
The money for this University
outfit was supplied by the B. P. O.
E. through the Grand Exalted Ruler
Fred Harper, himself a Virginia
man, and although the first equip
ment of one thousand beds and sup
plies were lost, others were forthcom
ing and with 39 Virginia doctors, 200
corps men and the 100 girls magnifi
cent work was do#e which resulted
in helping 1000 American soldiers
back to life and health.
Wesley Memorial
Special Offering Day
Sunday, the 22nd inst., hast been
set- aside as the day for an offering
by the Methodists of Georgia for the
charity. work of Wesley Memorial
Hospital.
On that day offerings will be made
in the Methodist churches to the fund
that is used in paying part of the
cost incurred in taking cate of pa
tients who are treated at this hospital
and who are unable .to pay for the
.services rendered. The cost of such
work done each year is far in excess
of the amount contributed by the
churches of the state for this nurpose.
As the hospital is the property of
the Georgia Conference of the Meth
odist Episcope ’ Ch urch, South, those
most interested in his success are de
sirous that the members of that de
nomination throughout the state will,
on the date indicated, show their in
terest in the sick and suffering poor
by contributing to the fund which
will enable the hospital to minister to
them.

County Agents Efforts
Save Cattle
Through the cooperative efforts of
the county agents in the Southern
and Southwestern states this year
hundreds of thousands of valuable
cattle were saved.
The great cattle ranges of Western
Texas suffered a severe drought in
1917; In 1918 the drouth continued
with increasing intensity.
. Two successive years with a limit
ed amount of rainfall left the range
practically 'barren, and the cattle
lonmed about in a starring condition.
Rut in the Southeastern states con-
Ahi ions were different. There was
I abundance of feed and psslnre and ’
few cattle to utilize it.
Through cooperation of the Bureau 1
of Animal ^lndustry and the -Bureau;
•of Markets of the .United Slates De- :
' partment of Agriculture, county agents ।
■ia Texas began to get in touch with •
i the county, agents in the Southeastern 1
■states where feed was plentiful and (
' isrisied farmers in regions of heavy <
crop production to obtain cattle from
the drought stricken regions of Texas. j
Duriifg'the past year about 300,'
000 head were transported, largely 1
through the efforts of the county i
agents.
This -service not only saved • the
Texas cattlemen from financial loss
i and ' assisted in developing a profita
ble and much needed branch of agri-:
culture in the Southeastern states. •
but helped materially in conserving
the Nation’s meat supply at a critical ;
time.

Big Loss of Fresh Meat
It is reported here that Mr W. I.
Dixon of near Toonuboro, who is one
of the county'a largest meat producers
lost a thousand dollars worth of meat
during the recent warm weather.
Right about this time every year
the farmers’ minds are full of weather
misery and it seems that some kind
of cold stoeage plant could be made.
