AUTEN'S AUTO LIVERY "Purple Cross" Being Organized to Return to Their Native Soil the Heroes Who Perish, i The ".Purple Cross," an organiza tion recently formed in Philadelphia for the furpose of embalming the bodies of American soldiers and ma rines who may lose their lives on the European battlefields. h;is been rec ognized bj the war department and a bill is Boon to be introduced in Congress lor the acceptance of thin organizatirn as an a'lx'liiiry of the quartermaster general's il-.-partment. These details wen- made known here Tuesday bj J. M. Harry, whose in formation 'came from the organiza tion's headquarters. Even should the war continue sev eral years. It is claimed it would be possible at that time, under the pres ent plan, to Kfcognize the bodies of the dead heroes. The condition of the bodies sent home for interment after the American attack on Vera Cruz. Mexico, several years ago, inspired the organization of this association. This idea was developed by Dr. How ard S. Kckols, of Wymote. Pa., and Dr. Jay H. Mowbray, of Swat thniore. Pa., and the organization was incor porated under the lawn of the Dis trict of Columbia. The trustees and other officials are prominent men of the country, including governors and millionaire fflcials of large manu facturing plants, said the advices re ceived by Mr, Harry. This organization has proposed to the war department to bear all ex penses of the work, under command of American military officers, and it is said more than S 1 5 o.lioo has been pledged to carry on the proposed work, and as soon as Congress places the stamp of approval on the plan it is expected $ 1 0,nn,0n0 easily will be raised.

TTTTV"iP Q KEEP A CASE IN YOUR HOME f KE FIRST FARM LOAN IS MADE IN CLEVELAND Shelby Board of Trade Enters Protest Against Excess Profits Tax. Special to The Observer. Shelby, July 24. The first loan to be made through the Columbia branch "f the Federal Farm Loan as sociation in North Carolina was made today in Cleveland county when a farmer received a loan of $1,000. Shelby also has the distinction of get ting the first farm loan charter in the state. The i lia i ter was received about two weeks ago. Application was made in the name of the Cleve land County Farm Loan association but upon recommendation of ulficials the name was changed to the Shelby Farm Loan association In view of the fact that another is being organized in this county at Kings Mountain. About twelve more loans are pending and will probably be made in this county this week. At a special meeting of the direc tors of the board of trade a strong protest went to Senator F. M. Sim mons at Washington. D. C, urging his opposition to the excess profits tax in the revenue bill, local business men considering the tax so burden some that it will drive many of them on the rocks of financial distress if It should become the law. The fol lowing message was dispatched: "The Shelby board of trade, rep resenting every business occupation and profession of the entire town, earnestly protests against the excess profits provision of the reported Pen ate tax bill and respectfully urges your opposition to it. We are willing and expect to meet our just propor tions of the tax burdens incident to this great world war. but we feel that the Senate lull distributes this burden unjustly and unequally. We will not be heard In complain if this tax Is Imposed without preju dice or discrimination. We are en titled to this and ask for nothing more." In addition to this message the board of trade ordered that O. M. Gardner, president, go to Wash ington when this bill is up for con sideration and register a protest for the local men. Company G, first North Carolina regiment, has had so few men in it from this county that It has been im possible to drill regularly since the boys returned from the border, but they are coming In from this and other counties in obedience to the mobilization order and Wednesday- will see the eighty men who com pose the local guards and the thirty live men who constitute the supply company, properly assembled here ready for daily drills. Col. J. T. Gardner of the first N'orth Carolina haR sufficiently recovered from his recent illness that he is able to be about his duties arain. It was found thet his condition was so fa vorable that he did not have to go to the hospital. Members of the Charlotte section of the Piedmont battery will leave tonight for Mooresville. where they will mobilize with the battery, under the command of Captain Held Morri son. It was at first decided by the officer? in charge of the battery, to mobilize in this city, and was sn an nounced. It was decided Thuesdty morning, that it would be best to : mobili7C in Moor.Mlle. which is the ' headquarters for the hattery. The Charlotte section of the battery' is in command of First Lieutenant L. ; P.. Crayton. and is composed of forty- seven men. many of thorn from the most prominent families in the city ; and county. j Charlotte citizens have expressed re gret at losing the Piedmont battery. as it means that instead of bringing more than one hundred young men from places surrounding the city i here, it will take away forty-seven of the young men of Charlotte and , Mecklenburg county. j The entire battery has now re- I cruited to 16f men, a large number of j young men hiving been enlisted since the drawing for the draft army took i place last Friday. The maximum j war strength of the battery is 190 j men. Officers feel confident that the necessary men to bring the organiza- j tion to maximum war strength will be enlisted within the next day or so. J The battery will continue to recruit men of drafted age, until orders are ! received from headquarters directing l them otherwise. ! Lieut. Crayton received notice 1 Tuesday morning that the government . had accepted the regiment of field artillery, to which the Piedmont bat tery is attached, and will be mustered into the federal service ta the same time with the other national guard organizations of North Carolina. 1 to army headquarters Tuesday, that 'number having applied for entrance i into that branch of the service. Sergt. L. W. Braley, officer In ! charge of the station, announced Tuesday that the local depot will i continue to recruit men of draft age. until notice has been sent out .by the exemption board, calling those dtawn i first to appear before the, board. ! Despite the fact that recruiting of ! fleers were very much encouraged ; over the prospect of receiving many I enlistments as a result of the war de ; partment giving those men first drawn, a chance to enlist voluntarily. ' rather than be drafted, there has been no increase in the number of recruits accepted.
