nrranpements have been made to give
the- passing soldiers a dip In the Min
nesota River.; in Athens. Georgia, ev
ery soldier is given a dainty and
palatable box lunch. Certainly some
of these things are beyond our reach
as jet, but it is possible for us to
disseminate in a lady-like manner a
spirit of cheer and good will alon
with the refreshing drinks and fruits,
and so leave in the minds of the
thankful Folider a great love for the
South and a respect of Southe.ru wo
manhood. The majority of the Monroe citi
zens and many of the good people of
Vnion county have contributed and
are still giving weekly to the Can
teen Fund. It was impossible for the
canvassers to see every person in the
county, but the opportunity to give is
still open. This appeal applies par
ticularly to the farmers, for very few
of the Monroe people are so fortunate
as to possess fruit trees. Won't you
divide your share of apples, peaches,
grapes, or melons with our soldier
boys? No gift is too small for the
Red Cross to accept and appreciate.
Bring your contribution to the can
teen hut or to the residence or Mrs. A.
L. Monroe.
Two of the teams, one captained
by Mrs. Charles Iceman, the other by
Mrs. G. B. Caldwell, ate plauniOK to
nerve fried chicken to a troop train.
If you wish to help Mrs. Iceman, car
ry a chicken to her home on West
Franklin street. Mrs. Caldwell has
had placed on the square a large coop
and if you care to assist her, drop a
chicken in it, and it will be cared for
until enough accumulate to serve a
train.
Help the canteen service. In this
way you can express concretely your
heart-felt interest In the soldier boys.
