Such is the Message Sent from France by a Plucky Little
Red Cross Nurse to Her Mother, in America.

READ THESE, THEN GO BUY ANOTHER LIBERTY BOND
"Tell those mothers over there we 1
are taking care of their boys." This
is the wonderful message sent all
American mothers with anxious hearts
who may be counted among our read
ers. The message is a real one from
the front. It comes from a brave
soul who went forth to , dare and do.
She tells the story in a frank and un
assuming .way to, her mother, but the
letter of Polly Ellis, who left New Or
leans with Base Hospital Unit No. 24
is not the kind girls write home every
day. Miss Ellis is a daughter of Mrs.
Elies, who is visiting Mrs. Copeland,
just now: It follows:
"August 5, 1918.
"Mother, o' Mine Have been trying
to write you but have been kept
frightfully ; busy nursing in boots
and slicker. Of course, you know
that we are at the iront and living in
lents. It is not so bad even at that.
We are bombed nearly every night.
.Several nights ago Fritz paid us ' a
visit seven times. Imagine! Just as
we would start to make the boys a lit
tle comfortable, you'd hear, the cry,
'Lights out and then every one would
be as still as a mouse until we were
able to light up again. Well, all night
these poor chaps suffered anguish, for
just as we'd go to get a hypo-ready,
along would come that awful cry,
'lights out.' However, for the past
few nights everything has been sub
lime, for Fritz, neyer comes round in
rainy weather. 'The next - time you
see the beautiful moon, do not go into
testacies over it, but think of the
souls who are trembling in fear over
here, whose very lives are in danger.
"During a recent raid I went in my
tent and walked right on a man. He
shouted, 'For God's sake, watch out,
don't walk on me.' I replied: Who is
there?' He said, 'O, is that you,
nurse? .With that he grabbed1 me
and pulled me flat on the ground, for
there is a regulation that everybody-
ill ! 11 L JVLU XXSA1X UVlllg J
shrapnel but the nurses will not ad
here to this. Anyway it was one of
the caotains. and we stayed there to
gether while this. Boche flew back and
forth over this tent. Can you imag
ine beine in total darkness with hun
dreds of wounded men absolutely
helpless, and a Hun flying above, all
round you dropping bombs. Oh, God,
it is awful. Not so much for your
self but for the helpless patients.
"If you could only fight back, but in
these air raids you are so utterly
helpless. Somehow I do not feal any
danger for myself. If it is my time
to go well, I kept my faith. You
only have one time to go, and one life
to live, and if you do your bit for suf
fering humanity you can go forward
to face your Maker feeling that all
will be well; but down in my heart I
feel, little mother o' mine, that God
will bring me back safe to you in His
own cood time. I could not tell you
about where I am as such details of
the frightfulness if I did not know so
well what a wonderful little woman
war! We may all be' home by Christ
mas, so prepare -the fatted goose.
"Believe me, Mother o' Mine, your
heart aches when you see those poor
chaps. One poor lad was shot
through and through the chest. How
I cried over him, and begged the cap
tain to do something for him, when I
felt in my heart, there was nothing to
be done. You can just make them
comfortable, and leave the rest to God,
for Certainly many d? them are be
yond human skill. This lad was a
little more than a child with his life
before him. He had a loving mother
and father and a blue-eyed sweet
heart, of whom: he talked in his de
lirium. I felt that he simply could
not die, that God in His infinite mer
cy and goodness would not let him go.
I prayed as J never prayed before for
that , boy's life, and toward morning
he really was better. Captain Crosby
01 .Mississippi, who by the way, is a
prince, said to me: Well nurse that
shows what a woman's tears will do.
Captain Crosby is perfectly ador
able to these boys. He goes through
the wards making, them comfortable,
and has spoiled them so that they will
inquire, 'Nurse, when is the captain
coming round. I want him to fix my
leg' and so on. Of course, there are
other good men, but I see more of
Captain Crosby" . because he is the
night director and, I am on night duty.
"I love these fi ghting menr yet .the
ambulance and Medical uorps men
are great. They are as gentle as wo
men with, the wounded, and the wo
men I have met are glorious. These
nurses stand up under fire as well as
any man m khaki. 1 met a Miss
Watkins of New York, an ambulance
driver, (Wonder if she is any kin of
yours? I hope so, as I know no girl
I admire more.) Ihis woman is as
plucky as they make men or women
She goes right up to the front and
brings in the wounded. She was the
first woman in Chateau Thierry after
the Germans evacuated it.
. "Have met nearly all the war cor
respondents while here which was s
treat to me. Incidentally, met Floyd
Gibbons of the Chicago Tribune, who
lost an eye at Chateau Thiery. He is
a glorious fellow, possessed of one of
the sweetest personalities I ever en
countered. I dressed his eye each day
while we were at a certain dressing
station. He has left for the States
and will make a lecture tour. I think
New Orleans is on his list, and if he
does speak there by all means hear
him, as he is one of the best informed
men of the day on the war situation.
Have not had any mail m a long
time. Write. 1 suppose we move so
much the mail could not keep pace
with us. .
"Tell the mothers over there we are
taking care of their boys!
"With a heart full of love tor you, 1
always the same. POLLY. ,

PREPARING FOR BATTLE.
Beginning next Wednesday, Oct; 9,
and lasting three days, is the Polk
County Fair. Everything has -been
done that could be done in this time
of hurry, worrya nd trouble, tolnake
the Fair a success. Premiums have
been offered on a long list of articles,
and the premiums are liberal, i In
some cases articles deserving t of
premiums have been overlooked, but
just remember that this is only the
second Fair, and make due allowances
for that. Then, if you have an arti
cle worthy of exhibition bring it
along anyway, and it, will be judged,
and a premium awarded it anyway.
Lack of space forbids us saying
much that we would like to say : re
garding the Fair, but everybody is so
busily engrossed in the Fourth Liber
ty Loan Drive, and so many demands
are made upon us for space for that
cause that we are compelled to shut
everything else off short. But no ex-
ra urging should be necessarv. Ev
erybody knows that next week is Fair
week, and as many should attend as
possible. .
Mr. E. W. Dedmond, superintendent
of the mineral and wood department
makes a special appeal to the people
of Polk county for specimens for ex
hibition in his department. This de
partment is a new department, but
should be one of the best. There are
many minerals in Polk county, and
who knows but that some very useful
as well as valuable mineral may Jte
unearthed on account of the Fair hav
rag this department. Bring along
anything, that looks like it was a
mineral. Also bring specimens of
timbers and show what we have left
in that line.

Those exhibiting early or late pota

there is just time enough to earn

The Juniors who have been working
a war garden should not overlook the

Mr. Corbin has received a supply of

Each Junior is urged to read the list
carefully and see if a half dozen en

Mr. Ballenger's introduction of his
friend, the Governor, was a model o
what an introduction should be, bu
seldom is. The dinner provided was
another model, and the band of thirty
soldiers while not equal to an orches

lar the affair was a failure,, and that
was the singing. "Silence" said a
visitor, "discordant silence," added
her neighbor.
After the thirty years war which
ended in 1648 Germany had no music,
no art, hardly any civilization. They
became the best trained people in mu
sic' in the world. Haven't we as good
voices, haven't we as good under
standings as the Germans? Why do
we fail, flatly, when we try to sing
our national songs?
An attempt was made to improve
in Community Singing by meeting at
the Lanier Library at five o clock on
Sunday afternoon to sing, but so far
very few have attended. Do you pre
