WAR-TIME NEED FOR FOR BLACK WALNUT Colonel Henry S. Graves, Chief ot the Forest Service, has written to the Boy Scouts setting forth the need for the census of black walnut trees which President Wilson has asked the Scouts to undertake. Four or five propellers are required for each airplane, the Chief Forester points out, and since black walnut is scarce and only the best grade can be used for this purpose, it is important that the Government should know immediately the location of all available supplies. Walnut is also the chief wood used for gunstocks, and these two requirements, Colonel Graves says, make it one of the most essential timbers for war purposes. rs' Choice es 97% are Owners' to individual motorists ^ires in preference to wShc ith.

DEFENSE COUNCIL IS TOLD OF SOME "BREAKERS" AHEAD There were Beveral important matters brought up at the meeting of the State Council of Defense last Thursday. Governor Manning, coming directly from the train after a visit to the national capital, made an earnest talk to the members of the council, and told them the war situation demands every energy of the army at home, the army of workers, to keep the army of fighters in the field. He stated that he did not wish to alarm the members of the council, but he considered them to be missionaries through whom to reach the people in the State, and he believes that it is their duty to go to the people and tell ihnm nf Kn ~ ? A ... .. ...v (i>oTitjr vi uie uiuinKill. He considers that it is imperative that the people should know that the government will have to waive the farm labor furloughs and call to the colors farm laborers in Class 1. The army of civilians over here must prepare to deny themselves every luxury and every unnecessary plasure. The draft demands are going to be heavy said the governor and the people must prepare themselves to do without servants and the abundance of labor that they have been having. The life of America is at stake, and all personal considerations must be put aside. The U-boat attacks on the coast may be but the prelude to other things that may come. The United State may have to face trouble in Mexico and furthermore it may become necessary for the United States to put an immense army in Russia. It is the feeling of the military authorities of this country that there may be a stalemate on the western front and that it may be necessary to throw into Russia a gigantic American ??my in order to win the war. The council heard the report of the governor with great interest and members expressed a new resolve to arouse the people of this State to make every sacrifice, to exert every effort. w.s.s. FRIENDSHIP The most of the farmers around here have been quite busy the pas1 week harvesting grain. The fall grain has all been harvested and the next will be the sound of the thresher. Mr. C. H. Rhynes and daughters, ?f the Westfield Creek section, spent Sunday afternoon in our community. Mrs. J. F. Gaddy has been on the lick list for the past five days. Mrs. A. B Hursey and Mrs. Henry lohnsoo of Chesterfield, attended ser- ' rices here Sunday. I Mr. Clarence Sowell has the finest ' rop in this community. < ^TC^nttie inrant child of Mr. and 1 rtrs. L. J.

C, The spirit of the Red Cross ii abroad in the land to-day and this ii no less true in Chesterfield count: than in other counties. And all th< while this spirit is growing, as i; evidenced on every hand by the de sire of people who are not alread; members to become members and b; the organization of auxiliaries amoni those who are members. TftA miinK Aonnnf Kn antsi tV . vv wvu vaiiiiw w ouiu nt piaia1 of the auxiliaries of the Cheraw chap ter. Just one month ago an auxili ary was formed at Ousleydale an< on June 1st a check for $57.50 wa sent to Cheraw chapter by Mrs. Fran Wilks, chairman of the auxiliary. O this amount $41.50 was made at a ice cream supper and the other $1 was dues from sixteen new member These ladies are sewing for us tc day too. This auxiliary stands out a a bright and shining star. At Patrick another auxiliary wa formed a month ago. These ladic have done all the sewing that wa first sent them and have written ft more. Mrs. Baggott, the chairmai writes us that she will soon send t i check for new members and dorn :ons. All of this is most encouraj ing. Another auxiliary doing excellei work both as to sewing and money the Hillcrest Auxiliary, which wt formed about three months ago at meeting of ladies at the home of Mr Gratton McFarland. This week the McBee Auxiliar sent us two boxes of garments th: 'hey have made for the boys "ov< there." These good people have bee working for us since last Novembe The Montrose auxiliary is Chera chapter's first offspring and too muc cannot be said of the excellent woi being done by Mrs. Allen Macfarla and Mr. and Mrs. Shroyer among tli legroes of the county. More will I heard of this work later. The Rev. Mr. McArn has been gh ing his Sunday afternoons to Re j Cross work by preaching at church* | in that part of the county under th | jurisdiction of Cheraw chapter. M I Joe Lindsay accompanies hifn and a] peals for new members after th Red Cross sermon by Mr. McArn. I this way many new members ha\ been added to Cheraw chapter. Th lady officers follow up Mr. McArn Mr. Lindsay's work and go to thet places and form auxiliaries. The recent Red Cross War Fun drive did much toward arousing ii terest all over the county. Th people were not only willing to gi\ but they desired to do so. Othci who were not awake before are no most ardent Red Cross workers. I this connection might be mentione Mr. W. T. Rivers, of Teal's Mill. H was in town the day the young Cai adian spoke here and heard him te what wonderful work the Red Croi is doing for our wounded soldier Afterward he was approached by M Ernest Duvall and asked if he coul< n't contribute $5.00 towards th War Fund. Mr. Rivers says, "A first I told Mr. Duvall I could m because I was a poor man with large family and just didn't feel lik I could spare the money." "Bi then," said Mr. Rivers, "I thought t h?? > ^?1 " ^V.. <uni a^c aim rreu iiuneycu and Allie Caulder who had gone t fight for us and if need be give the lives for us and so I told Mr. Duva to put me down for $5.00." The true Red Cross spirit showe itself there?the giving when it hur But the good work has not stoppe there. Mr. Rivers has been bus among his neighbors getting ne members and donations. Mr. McAm will preach on th fourth Sunday in this month at Mac< donia church. Mr. Lindsay will a< company him and appeal for ne' members. The following Friday th ladies will go to Stafford school hous ond form an auxiliary among thes good people. And thus the good work goes on. ADDITIONAL RED CROSS DONATION The following names and amount should be added to the Red Cros War Fund contributors for Chestei field: Mrs. S. F. Teal $ 5.00 W. K. Parker (additional) 5.00 J. T.

Nurse Corps. The name of the camp and the number and name of the nurse are omitttt ed for military reasons. ;? "U. S. Army Base Hospital, Camp ,May 25th, 1918. "And so the summons came, and I (j have answered. I am glad to be one t of the 148 nurses at Camp . j For as I write, there is pictured before me sixty thousand Crusaders, ^ sixty thousand fighting men, unreasoning, undaunted, ready and supreme. "They have gathered, silently and "" grimly. They do not hesitate and they do not complain. And here we stand, 148 nurses, and sixty thousand of the youth of America, Between the dark and down, facing the supreme sacrifice and ready to give. "The number on my Red Cross pin is , that is all. In October, 1916, in the midst of playtime, happy ^ in safe ambitions, and simrincr alone life's pathway, I enrolled in the Ame8 rican Red Cross. Truly it was a gay 1S loyalty to an idea which sprouts in r_ cadets' training. "I still hvae a circular letter dated March 18, 1918. It is an appeal, almost a prayer, to (5 ">,000 registered nurses of our Nation. It asks for volunteers; and why are there so few? A total of 30,000 ready for _ active service, are asked to volunteer by January 1st, 1919. 0 "It seems to me that the great 0 military struggle has become a test for our profession; a test of its faitn in sacrifice, a test of woman's rigit to be henr<l in the councils which shall create rew ideals from the holocaust. 148 to 60,000 in Camp ?_?| 1 today, and the rntio is fair as an - estimate of other camps. , "Our number it pitiably small, alI though our will and our zeal and our i, faith are great. 148 nurses are try - ing to accomplish the work of twice , their number, and more. Their res ward is the joy of sacrifice, and the - consciousness of duty done.
