TUCKERMAN DEPARTMENT.
Hon. C. M. Erwin, of Newport, was
here last Saturday, looking after pro
fessional business.
Mrs. George L. Smith returned
home the latter part of last week from
H$> Sprijfgs. where she had been vis
iting during the two or three weeks
nrftvnnsilv.
Deputy Collector Robert Ivy and
family of Newport spent the day last
Sunday at the home of W. M. Tims,
father-in-law of the former.
Mrs. J. H. Hitchcock returned
home from Little Rork, where she
had previously undergone an opera
tion. She has made rapid improve
ment and without further complica
tions will soon be restored to her nor
mal health again.
Hon. Geo. A. Hillhouse, of Newport,
was here last Saturday, looking after
matters in Squire Lawrence’s court
and swapping yarns as usual.
Walter Coe and family returned
home from Hot Springs during the
latter part of last week after having
visited that health resort during he
past three weeks.
Rev. Z. D. Barber, of Eight Mile,
* was here Sunday after en route home
from Battle Axe, where he had filled
his regular appointment as pastor of
the Christian church.
Miss Sylla Harvey returned home
last Friday from Newport, where
she had just completed her work as a
teacher in the public schools there,
\ which terminated on that date.
M. F. Moore came home Saturday
from the lower part of the state,
where he had been looking after bus
iness affairs during the past few
weeks.
The past week has been almost
ideal for farm work. Dry and, hot
weather prevailed until Saturday,
when a good seasonable rain fell. If
the farmers can have another week
for work without more rain General
Green will be badly disfigured and al
most entirely routed in this section.
The city dads received a car of
crude oil last week and smeared it
about os the most important thor
oughfare of the town. Oil applied in
that way keeps the dust down and
therefore is of great value. It is a
pity that more of it cannot be pur
chased and used on our roads and
streets. However, the cost is much
greater now than formerly and cannot
be purchased excepting in small
amounts by the town.
Bryan Moore, who has a position in
a drug store at Little Rock, spent
Sunday with Tuckerman homefolks.
Better to sacrifice luxuries than
sacrifice lives. Sacrifice the luxur
ies—Buy War Savings Stamps.

a*A great net of mercy drawn through

WE’LL WIN
! What does it mean to you to know that your
American Red Cross:
Is supporting 50,000 French children.
Sends supplies to 3,423 French military hospitals.
Provides 2,000 French hospitals with surgical dressings.
Is operating thirty canteens at the front line.
Is operating six other canteens at French railway junctions, serving 30,000
French soldiers a day.
Operates a movable hospital in four units, accommodating 1,000 men.
Is operating a children’s refuge in one part of the war zone; and in another
a medical center, and traveling dispensary, both capable of accommodating more
than 2,000 children.
Has opened a long chain of warehouses stocked with hospital supplies, food,
soldiers’ comforts, tobacco, blankets, etc., all the way from the seaboard to th2
Swiss frontier.
Has warehouse capacity for 100,000 tons.
Has 400 motor cars and operates 7 garages, making all repairs.
Had shipped 46 freight car loads of assorted supplies to Italy from France
within two weeks after it began operating in the former country.
Had a battery of motor ambulances at the Piave front four days after the
United States declared war on Austria.
Started a thousand different activities in Italy at the time that nation was in
its most critical condition.
Has established 5 hospitals in England and'operates a workshop for hospital
supplies employing 2,000 women.
And that 120,000 cases of supplies have been received at the Paris headquar
ters of the American Red Cross from your various chapters scattered throughout the
r i • i i ni i
U111LUU OLctL^a.
What does all this mean to you ? And that is
but a fraction of the work your Red Cross has done
and is doing. It means that without this ceaseless,
heroic work of the American Red Cross we could
never win this war.
Without your Red Cross quick, vital help to keep
Italy in the fight for Liberty would not have been
possible.
Without your Red Cross thousands of French
soldiers now gallantly fighting for you at the front
would have died of wounds, exposure and lack of food.
And great and wonderful as has been the work
' • of the American Red Cross in the past, still greater
and more wonderful must it be in the future—for
now your boy is in the fight.
Your Red Cross cannot neglect France, England,
Italy, Serbia, Roumania and little Belgium. It must
give them all constantly increasing help, for the men
of these countries have been fighting our battles.
But now we must all redouble our efforts and
sacrifices for our Red Cross because a million mothers’
sons are going to carry the stars and stripes to the
greatest victory God has ever given to men fighting
for honor and liberty.
With the help of your Red Cross your boy will
win.
