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.

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.

Two of our young men teachers
have enlisted in the navy, and we
shall need some patriotic men to take
their places. 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.

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.
