"SO PROUD OF HIM."
You Could Tell at a (II a nee That
He Was a "Successlul" Man -This
"Chief Mourner" at His j
Mother's Funeral.
. The firm nioiiih, iliu steady, !
slow-movinp I ui nut unkindly eyes
bui chiefly Ins air of strength and
confidence made you feel lliat he
had madr good.
Hui he was si r ai i ye I y quiel as
he sal in u corner of (he room, be
fore bis mother's Friends came in
to pa ilieir last respects to this
humble, hard working widow who
made good in her own way she
had raised a family of halt dozen
children after her husband died
and he left her wiihoul a cent
and ihey were all doinn well
largely because of the siart she
gave i he 1 11 in character and discipline.
This first horn of hers had been
good to his moiher at least, she
said so. He had paid her rem and
occasionally when he thought of
it he sent her a linle present.
Called from a ciiy a thousand
miles away, where he had gone on
a business trip, and arriving loo
late to say "Good bye" she had
been calling for him constantly in
the last days of her delirium this
son of whom his mother had been
so proud was sore-hearted on the
day of her funeral.
He was being tortured by the rec
ollection that he had not written to
his mother in a year although he
knew that she treasured his letters
like a real lover lucking (hem
away in her waste basket and re
reading dozens of times, usually
with tears of pride in her eyes.
He remembered that he hadn't
sent her a single (lower in many a
monih, although she was patheti
cally fond of the tiniest blossom
and she lived in the crowded city
where ihere were no gardens,
while he lived in the suburbs and
had an acre of flowers growing
riotously.
She needed the fresh air during
the last year of her life the doctor
said but she depended mostly on
the trolley car for her outings
and it was hard for her to walk to
the street car althuugh it would
have been an easy matter for him
to have sent her his car, occasion
ally.
The neighbors came into the
little room to pay their last respects
to his mother. He lis
tened to their comments.
They were very simple folk.
They told him how much his moth
er talked about him. And every
word was a stab.
If only she could be hrought
back, he would give her every
thing leners, flowers, uutomobile
rides and sometimes a kiss he
would gladly give his life.
They carried her out. The
"successful" son followed the pall
bearers. The neighbors remem
bered thai his mother was so proud
of him. - Kcv. Charles Stetzle.

RKGIMENTAl. SONG OH "GRliY BONNET KliGIMLN I
"DIXIli DIVISION."
OH
Appended are the words of the song of the "Grey tionnet Regiment"
of the 3 1st or "Dixie" Division of the American Army. The song
both words and music was written by a private and adopted as the
regimental song. "It shall be done" is the slogan of the regiment.
The music has not yet been published. One of the soldiers in the reg
iment, which passed through Raleigh some time ago en route north
ward, handed the words to a member of the Raleigh Red Cross, who
sends them lo the News and Observer.
"IT SHALL HI- DONE."
Hroin the North where breezes blow
To the land of "Old Wack Joe,"
The boys are coming,
With hearts a-buming,
The busy liast has heard the call,
From the West in line tlicy fall;
When victory is won, they'll be returning.
Hear the Captain bragging,
Not a man is lagging,
Lach and everyone is lull of "pep";
They're glad lo come to Dixie Land,
To receive a helping hand,
And with the southern Lads they'll
Keep in step.
CHORUS
Drop your work, drop your play,
Break away, don't delay,
Grab a gun, on the run.
There's a task to be done.
When ihey leach us to salute,
And they show us how to shoot,
I'd hate to be in the boots of any
HUN, HUN, HUN.
Down in Dixie,
In dear old Dixie,
Where the Blue and Gray arc one,
We've got to go across the sea,
And pui an end to Germany;
And take it from us, "It Shall Be Done.'
Dixie Land, before we go,
There's just one thing you must know.
We're grateful for your assistance;
And the Hag shall never fail
You've made soldiers of us all
And filled us with the .spirit of resistance.
Though your hearts arc yearning,
I'ruy for our returning,
While we spread the tljiue of Liberty;
Hor when you said "li Shall Be Done,"
Then we knew the war was won,
And that we'd be marching Home wilh victory.

WHOLE NATION MOVES
TO BANISH SOLITUDE
Our Heroes Are Calling From
Over There Give What You
Can to Help Those From
Home.
Every citizen Id teres ted Id the boys
of hU home town flow at the trout, aud
Id the brave women who equally are
Boning their country abroad, has an
opportunity to show hla appreciation
of ttie sacrifice they are mnltlii;;. Tht
opportunity etiins m a ivsuU of the
generosity and tli.niK.it of Colonel Wil
liam Boyce Tlifi.ipsui) of New York,
who has concelvid and put Into execu
tion what la known as the Home Pa
per Service.
Under the plsn, every man and wo
man In foreign service will receive the
town newspaper, and so be kept In
constant touch with the places and the
people they know and love.
Every branch of the United States
Government Is Interested In the plan.
The Government realises the Impor
tance of keeptng those In the service
happy and constantly In touch with
their home ties and associations. Noth
ing Is more depressing In s. national
emergency than the spirit of loneliness
In those serving tholr country, and of.
flclals know that nothing can dispel
this feeling more effectually than read
lng the home town newspaper.
Publishers of newspapers In all parts
of the country this newspaper Includ
edhave grasped with pleasure the
plan outlined by Colonel Thompson,
and they have agreed to co-operate In
very way.
Under the ruling of the War Indus
tries Hoard newspaper publishers are
forbidden to send their newspapers
free, even to soldiers. The newspaper
must be subscribed for In the regular !
way, the only eiceptlon being soldiers I
who formerly were In the employ of I
the newspaper and who left that serv- j
Ice to enlist. Colonel Thompson there- '
fore proposes that the public In each
community contribute to a fund bo that
the home newspaper (la our case this
newspaper) may reach every man and 1
woman now In the service of his conn-try.
Anyone may contribute to the fnnd.
and any sum may be contributed. It 1b
not necesMnry to contribute the entire
amount of one subscription. It does
not matter whether the rich man semta
In one hundred dollars or the poor boy
or little girl sends In five cents. Ench
gift will be a message of love and help
fulness to the home town folks "Over
There. The money will be lumped
Into one fund, out of which subscrip
tions will be entered as fast as the
money Is received.
Contributors who send In the full
price of a year's subscription may, tf
they wish, designate to what particular
person they wish the newspaper sent,
but If the name given Is already listed
as receiving the paper, then the pub
lisher reserves the right td apply the
subscription to snmo less fortunate sol
dier boy or noble woman who la Just as
lonely for news of home and home
folks.
The name of every contributor to
this home paper service will be pub
lished In this newspaper, and the name
of everyone entered for a subscription
will be published es well as the num
ber of those remaining whose subscrip
tions have not been covered.
If the amount of money received
shall bo more than Is necessary to send
the paper to every person from the
town now In the service, then the bal
ance will be turned over to the Hod
Cross.
The plan Is endorsed by the pub
lisher of this newspaper without any
thought of profit, either directly or In
directly, but with a sincere desire to
help keep the home Area burning and
to send to our heroes and heroine
news of oar town, to keep their heart
warm for us and to let them know
they are constantly In our minds.
The publisher, of course, cannot
make a profit on circulation, and addi
tional clmilatmn such as thla will be
circulation from non-purchasers sent
far across the sea can have no added
value to the advertiser.
These facts are stated mi that every
contributor way feel that every rent
contributed goes to the good cause.
The moihess of our boys are facing
an ordeal with a bravery thot com
mandi respect and admiration. Hr
and there where tiny start are turned
from blue to gold, where angnlsh grip
the heart, the nation stands In illenre
and honors the women who have given
of their blood, the very bone of their
bone, to their country. To them, home
has lost Its meaning the soul of It
has fled tb ere li no home, It la Just a
place, and do place li quite so lonely,
unless It be within the hearts of those
brave tons Id far off France who long
for Just a word of borne. There can
not be a man, there cannot be a wo
man, ne, not even a child, who will
fall to c-on tribute Just a little to make
the hearts of these patriots lighter,
