unpatriotic remarks, js a brother
of Mrs. James L. Harrell, of this

decent, the parents of young Dea
ton having come to America many
years ago and identified themselves
with Americans and American
ideals. It, is true, they sympathize
with the German people, but
bitterly opposed to Kaisoi’ism and
everything for which it stands.
They greatly desire that the
German people free themselves
from the despotism with which
they are bound. They are true

PE AIL SON TRIBUNE, MA 10, 1918
ATKINSON COUNTY CHAPTER
The Biggest Business Outside of
The War Itself.
At the present time we have i*
Coffee county two Chapters of the
American Red Cross, the Coffee
County Chapter at Douglas and
the Willacoochee Chapter at Wil
lacoochee. As the time has come
for thorough co-operation of every
man, woman and child in this great
cause, and as the new county will
soon be ratified, and for the con
venience of a great host of people
who will gladly co-operate with a
Chapter at Pearson we are organ
izing the Atkinson County branch
American Red Cross at Pearson,
and will publish through the kind
ness of the editor from week to
week the names of new members
and the progress of the work.
For the benefit of those who are
not familiar with the work of the
American Red Cross I submit a
brief history for the past year: On
the declaration of war by the Coi-
led States the Red Cross came to
the fore as the one great organiza
tion pledged to the care of the
destitute, the sick, the grounded
and the dying. Suddenly it found
itself in charge of a tremendous
business outside of the business of
the war. Organized to co-operate
with the Army and Navy, it- had
to furnish hospital and ambulance
service and it has to go out among
the people and ask for workers. It
turned to the American nation in
May of last year for $100,000,000.
The people did not question, but
gave it. It called for something
more than the giving of money —
for the enpenditure of free time
and unpaid for service. These are
a token of a good will that cannot
be expressed by money. Had not
the Red Cross been able to call
upon the women of America to
meet its tremendous expansions, it
might have failed in doing quickly
a service that money could not
have accomplished, however great
the amount.
Thus if formed the greatest part
nerships the world has ever known,
from a human standpoint, pledged
to the cause of mercy. Hours upon
hours have the women of America
toiled in learning the accessory
trades attached to the work of
mercy. They have sent bandages
broad in tons, and no rolls have
ever been wrapped with greater
love and care, or heart apony.
Their needles have kept time to
the whir of machinery, and ships
have gone forth with warm cloth-
ing for the soldiers in the frozen
trenches with the knowledge that
an invincible, line of American wo
men were behind it. The Red
Cross has dauntlessly started on
batt)e field and in hospital needful
work w bjcli in list not, cannot, be
abandoned. If hqs cpst money,
but this war is beginning to teach
us to care less for wealth when we
are asked to give I In* War God the
life out of our homes, the flower
of our young manhood for which
we care everything. And there is
no true dyed in flic-wool American
who can hold back from service or
withhold that which bill enable
our boys to fight more efficiently
and sell their lives more dearly.
In view of this fact, we must
keep constantly before us the need
of maintaining a strong line of
spiritual trenches ip this grand
fight for Democracy, for as the
battle rages and flux bodies of men
are torn the need npiltiplies. You
will be asked for looney; give il
freely, and let every mau v woman
and child among uS.du the best we
can for the sacred danse,
Wo are enrolling the children in
the Junior lied Cross and the adults
in the Senior, Junior membership
fee is 25c., and the Senior sl. It
is exceedingly gratifying to those
of us who have assumed the re
sponsibility of leadership in this
very needful work, that wherever
they have presented the cause, at
Sunny Side, Antioch and Mt. Zion,
the have met a hearty response.
We wish to liiank Mr. J. J,. Sut
ton for his kindness and co-opera
tion both at Sunny Side and Anti
och; also to Judge J. I. Summer

JOY TOASTED CIGARETTES
Through the patriotism of the citF
zens of this country thousands of
smoke kits are being distributed to
American soldiers in France. Author
ities agree that men in the trenches
need cigarettes almost as much as
food and munitions.
Doctors, nurses, and commanding
officers all join in the demand which
has awakened in this country a great
movement to keep our boys supplied
with smokes
Millions of the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarettes are “going over”

about the idea of the toasted ciga

Then, too, tne real Kentucky Burley
