WHAT THE
RED CROSS
IS DOING
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO
- n nnrJJVJirULU'JTm--" . ^1<>^
- - - - —
JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP.
Salvage of waste materials which still have a market value appeals to
young and old alike. Many Red Cross chapter, are making large sums ol
money by collecting salvage and disposing of It at the best market price
This work is being done in the Southwestern Division by the Junior Red Cross.
Of the almost endless list of possible salvage the Bureau of Junior Mem
bershlp has selected certain classes of waste material upon which It seema
advisable to begin. The seleoted list includes only material which Is really
1 waste. No temptation must be placed before the children to get Improperly
:any material which has not yet been condemned. Waste material to be han
i died by children must not be unsanitary or otherwise dangerous. It mus
inot be subject to decay, It must not be too bulky, It must have a fair market
The authorized Uzt Is as follows:
1. Tin foil of all kinds.
I. Collapsible tubes which have con
tained tooth paste, cold cream, shav
ing cream, extract, vaseline and other
toilet articles.
>. Old gold and silver and broken
bits of Jewelry for the “melting pot.”
4. Silver-plated water pitchers, cas
tors, teapots and trays.
6. Scrap sine.
«. Clean dry-cell battery zinc.
7. Battery lead from storage bat
teries.
8. Rubber boots and shoes.
8. Arctics.
10. Rubber tire casing of all kinds.
II. Inner tubes.
12. Old wringerB.
No old Iron, glass of any kind, brass,
copper, heavy lead, lead pipe or old
clothing other than rubber will be re
ceived.
The tinfoil should be pressed firmly
Into bricks of 26 pounds' weight and
wrapped In paper with the name of
the auxiliary on the outside, and the
weight.
The collapsible tubes should be
packed as compactly as possible In «
cigar or pasteboard box, wrapped in
strong pap^r and tlod and marked
plainly with the name of the achool
auxiliary and the exact weight of the
material enclosed.
The old gold and silver and bits ol
jewelry should also be packed in a
cigar or stout pasteboard box
wrapped In strong paper and tied and
marked with the name of the schoo:
on the outside.
The proceeds of all these sales will
go into the treasury of the Junior Red
Cross chapter fund, to the credit ol
the auxiliary contributing.
Thousands of dollars should be real
ized from salvaging these three kind*
of waste materials alone. Hardly a
family can be found that does not
have on hand broken or out-of-datf
Jewelry, that should be doing servlet
In buying yarn to make into garment*
for the soldiers and sailors.
Each auxiliary should provide foi
the delivery of Its own collections at
the places designated. In case of in
ability to do so, assistance will be
given by the chapter school com
mittee,
For further information concerning
the collection and Bale of salvage ap
ply to MRS. J. H. HOSKINS,
Director of Salvage, 1617 Railway JBi>
change, St. Louie, Mo.

Chairmen, County Councils of De- j
Defense:
The American Protective League j
authorizes the following: '
The war department desires, for
immediate use for intelligence pur
poses, photographs, drawings and de
scriptions of bridges, buildings, towns
and localities now occupied by the
German forces in France, Belgium
and Luxemburg and likewise that
portion of Germany lying west of a
line running north and south through
Hamburg.
County Counils will please see that
this request is given the widest pub
licity and that the citizens, through
the newspapers and otherwise, be
asked to make diligent search for
such material and to deliver it, in
person or by mail, to the chairman of ;
each county council.
The services of Boy Scouts, Camp
Fire Girls and other patriotic organ- j
izations may well be called into this
work.
Newspapers having in their
“morgues" matter of this kind are
requested to contribute originals or
copies of such information.
A large quantity of material is de- j
sired and may be shipped without
sorting. There is no objection to du
plicate, as many copies of the same
thing will often be needed. All such
things are to be regarded as gifts to
the government as it will be imprac
ticable to return any of them.
All agents of the American Pro
tective League are directed to give
this matter their particular attention.
In order to disclose their local per
sonnel, however, they will act through
specially appointed local committees,
in conjunction with the County Coun
cils of Defense. Matter so contrib
uted is to be sent to State Inspector,
American Protective League, \ Cr.
State Council of Defense.”
In those counties in which there
are no agents of the American Pro
tective League, simply ask people,
who have the material called for, to
send it direct to the State Council
of Defense.
Yours truly,
Arkansas State Council of Defense,
Lloyd England, Chairman,
Wallace Townsend, Director.

WHY NOT BE GOOD TO YOUR
SELF?
If you awaken weary and unre
freshed in the morning, or tire early
in the day, are. bilious and “blue,”
with coated tongue and bad breath—
if you are suffering from indigestion
or constipation—you will find Foley
Cathartic Tablets quick to relieve and
comfortable in action. They are
wholesome and health-giving.—Wai

BATTLE AXE.
Last week’s notes seem to have
gone astray; sent to Tuckerman
Wednesday, and supposed to reach
you Thursday morning, but missed
connection somewhere.
Prof. W. M. I jane and wife left us j
last week for Fort Smith, where he j
expects to engage in working a
capenter work, at least temporarily.
Cotton planting began pretty gen
erally here this morning, the 23rd.
May be a little early and risky, but
those cultivating wire-worm land are
anxious to get the plant up an
growing, if possible, before the worm
gets too busy.
Quite a number from here went
—- - —
Tuckerman Sunday to hear Gov.
Brough, and were loud in their
praises of the addresses. As one who
went expressed it, “I don't know
much about what kind of a governor
he makes, but he’s a good speaker all
right.”
While it seems that the chronic
growler has had some weather feat
ures on which to base his complaint*,
there are several things for which we
may feel thankful: no serous storms,
no destructive hail, and no real over
flow. 'i
