Do you realize all that it means to be a member of the Red Cross?— “A great net of mercy drawn through an ocean of unspeakable pain.” MORE FARMERS SHOULD WEAR KHAKI 1 have tried many experiments along the line of purchasing a good and substantial work garment, but I find no other as good as tan khaki. Khaki chothing can be bought cheap er even than blue denim overalls and will wear longer It will stand the wear and tear of briers and bushes, it will stand rain and snow, and you always have good chothes. Khaki chothes can also be used as dress clothing on some occasions. The farmer should have two objects in view in selecting his work clothes, first the price, and second, durability. Half the money that would be re quired to keep me in work clothes of any other material, keeps me in good khaki clothing all the time., When my local merchants fail to keep a supply of khaki,, I order it from the Chicago mail order houses. One suit of tan khaki that I bought lasted me through two seasons. Two good kkaki suits will easily last a farmer through three seasons. He will, however, need two or three ex tra pairs of pants. The khaki cloth ing is the best for the least money.— Lon Robertson, in The Progressive Farmer. THE RED CROSS — THE UNIT OF - HUMANITY . In all this welter and confusion, wars and rumors of war, through all the hate and slaughter and accusa tion and denial and misunderstand ing, runs one deep, low tone of har mony. ' Beneath the painful discord is ome healing tone, a broad, unifying di apason. It is the Red Cross. Among our strident Inhumanities this is‘the one thing human.® " We may quarrel in traffic, strive in politics and party, envy in learn ing, contend over posessions, and wound and slay in angry pride, but in a gesture of mercy we all, friend and foe, suddenly fuse and blend. One touch of mercy makes the whole world kin. The Red Cross is the inarticulate protest of humanity against the do ings of Nations. It is the assurance of the @hrist that He has not wholly abandoned His world. — Dr. Frank Crane in the Red Cross Magazine for June. Misses Ruby and Ruth Webb will start on Monday to take the business course at the Southern Business Col lege. LOST—Female white and brown fox terrier. Answers to namme of “Scrap.” $lO.OO reward. M. L. McNEEL. A VISIT FROM JIM Jim McKinney, our Jim, of the U. S. Navy, was with us last week. He was at home on a ten day’s furlough and was looking strong and handsome, as all of Uncle Sam’s boys sheuld. Jim’s excessive modesty prevented our getting his picture for this issue, but we hope to get it yet by some means. He left Friday to join his ship, the Oklahoma. which is now off an east ern port. ' LEAPS FROM EXPRESS TRAIN TO ESCAPE FROM THE HUNS Pat O’Brien, the daring American aviator who escaped from a train ‘bearin him to a German prison camp, ‘says in the June American Magazine: “] began to cough violently, as if the smoke in the compartment was choking me. So, when I opened the window again, as if I had to have air, the guards didn’t interfere. I had been figuring out a plan for making the jump a quick enough one to pre vent their catching me and pulling me back. “I had some bread and sausage in a sort of knapsack I had made out of an old gas bag, and I acted as if I wanted to put this up in the rack. To do this, I stood on the edge of the seat and took hold of the strap. Pretending to sway with the train, I tested this strap and found it would bear my weight. So then with my bag and the precious food in it, I gave one of two lurches, as the train rocked, and then threw myself straight out of the window. “I landed on my feet, but my head struck the ground at almost the same instant and I lost consciousness. It was only for a few moments however, for I pulled myself together quickly and started to run off the right of way. The train was stopped half a mile further on, but by the time they came back I was lost in the darkness. Fortunately, I was so dazed that I had headed the wrong way-—-back into Germany. I say ‘fortunately’ because if they searched for me they probably went the other way. By the time I changed my course I was able to take my way through a different section where they were less likely to be look ing for me. BAPTIST NEWS The Baptist congregation was glad to welcome their pastor home again on Sunday, last He_was running over with good news, with splendid things heard, and various impressions re ceived, which he passed on to us in splendid story telling fashion, as he recalled incidents of the great Bap tist Convention. On Monday Mrs. Wilson’s circle gave an interesting missionary lesson with a patriotic program. The arti cles were well chosen from “God’s Service Flag” to the “Songs Most Loved by Soldiers.” Two that you might never dream of have precé dence over all others many thousand times: “Abide With Me,” and “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.” On Wednesday the Missionary So ciety of Noon-day Association will spend the day with the Marietta So ciety, for the consideration of matter connected with their work, anticif)at ing a profitable and enjoyable time. Thursday morning at 7:30 o’clock the Baptists will observe the Nation al call for prayer for victory to crown our arms, for a glorius world-wide peace, and a speedy return of our boys to their own dear native land. Sunday is rally day for the Geor gia Baptist Hospital, dear to our de nominational heart. It is also the first anniversary of Dr. White's pas torate, which grows in good fortune to the church. ST. JAMES CHURCH NEWS Thursday, May 30th, Memorial day, a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayver. There will be open church from 8:30 A. M. to 6:30 P. M.

They have been faith ful for a number of years in this work and only at the urgent call of their counery did they give it up. In the work of teaching and train ing boys in their development toward manhood, we are not only being loyal and serving the Christ, but we are also serving our country, for she needs Christian and manly men. The chief requirement for this work is willingness ¢o do it, and loy alty to Chrict and His Chureh. What a precious oppertunity for two men. THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER ‘ .

GOOD PICTURES The class of pictures and quality of the service at the Strand is seldom equalled, and not excelled at all, in any city in the country. Only the very best productions are brought here and these long before they reach other places except the larger cities. Howard “keeps on keeping on” and Mr. Harris is telling the Bankers what to do and how to do it this week. Dean has challenged Harris to “show down’’ as to his campaign con tributions _— The Treasury Department has a gain reduced the rate of insurance on ships, so the submarines are cer tainly doing less work than they once did.
