THE MOUNTAIN EAGLE, JASPER, ALABAMA, MAY 8, 1918. of Walker: As ever in its hour of need, the Red Cross turns to you. Never in the world's history has any organization faced a heavier task than does the Red Cross now. Here and overseas, wherever the tides of war have rolled, the Red Cross has spread its "net of mercy---Stretching forth its hands to all in need; to Jew or Gentile, black or white; knowing no favorite, yet favoring all. Ready and eager to comfort at a time when comfort is most needed.

Helping the little home that's crushed beneath an iron hand, by showing mercy in a healthy, human way; re-building it, in fact, with stone on stone; replenishing empty bins and empty cupboards; bringing warmth to hearts and hearths too long neglected. Seeing all things with a mother's seventh sense that's blind to jealousy and meanness; seeing men in their true light as naughty children---snatching, biting, with a hidden side that's quickest touched by mercy. Reaching out its hands across the sea to No Man's Land to cheer with warmer comforts thousands who must stand and wait in stenched and crawling holes and watersoaked entrenchments where cold and wet bite deeper, SO they write, than Boche steel or lead. It's warming thousands, feeding thousands, healing thousands from its store; the Greatest Mother in the World---the Red Cross. But with every day the need grows graver.

With every day the number of our boys overseas grows larger. Not only must the work of the Red Cross go on -it must be extended. The meshes of that "Net of Mercy" must be finer. Soon, the Red Cross will again ask for help, for funds to carry on YOUR work of mercy. Will you help prepare the way? Not with your money now, for when the time comes you will give and give nobly as already you have given days and dollars, but help with your influence.

With your influence on the people around brothers, husband, sons--with the men you know, with the people whose hearts have perhaps have not been touched as yours. Talk the Red Cross! Preach it and its needs! For it rests with you who understand, and wake Walker County to a realization of what the Red Cross is, of what it needs, and why its needs must be supplied! Do YOUR duty now, and when, in a few weeks, funds are being solicited everybody will be ready to give--to "Give till the heart says stop." This space paid for by OUTLET BARGAIN WHEN SPIRIT OF RED CROSS WAS BORN INTO THE WORLD The spirit of Florence Nightingale in England and Henri Dunant in Switzerland has been reborn in millions of Americans and is expressing itself in patriotic services and generous support of the American Red Cross. Men, women, and children are contributing to the Second Red Cross War Fund. Millions of women nave given their time and their energies to the making of relief supplies in homes and chapter work rooms throughout the world. Thousands of specially men and women have put their personal I services at the command of the Red Cross for its relief work in this country and abroad.

School children have enrolled themselves for the very large service of which they are capable and the nation as a whole is responding in memberships. Within twelve months their number increased from 300.000 to over twenty-two million. Are you one of these? If not, why not? It takes millions to carry on the work of Red Cross. You can not afford to miss your contribution to this great war fund. NO TIME FOR REUNIONS THINKS JUDGE SHIELDS Judge John B.

Shields has called attention to the following statement made by an old Tennessee friend of his, Gen. R. C. Couch, and published in a Morristown. paper: General R.

C. Couch, commanding the Tennessee brigade, United Confed erate Veterans, announces that the annual ruunion to be held in Tulsa, has, been postponed until September and may be cancelled altogether. Explaining this change in plans, he says: "With our sons, grandsons, nephews, and the sons of our friends and neighbors fighting and dying on the fields of France, we are 1 not in the mood to go away on a trip like this just to have a good time. We deem it much more fitting that we should remain at home and continue to do our best to help win the war." Judge Shields says he endorses the sentiment expressed by Gen. Couch.

WALKER AMBITIOUS FOR LOAN. Chairman Jack Cranford, of the Walker county loan workers, who was in the city last night, says that his county proposes to go after the Alabama record for subscriptions by subscribing three dollars for every dollar asked, and by obtaining a larger number of subscribers in proportion to population than any county in the Ledger. ABOUT RHEUMATISM. Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for the reason that it is the most common of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying to sufferers to know that there is a remedy that will afford relief, and make rest and sleep possible. It is called Chamberlain's Liniment.

FOUR MINUTE MEN TO SPEAK IN WALKER Mr. A. F. Fite Has Been Appointed Chairman For Walker County And Is Organizing His Forces. Chairman T.

J. Crittenden of the Alabama Four-Minute-Men has decided to cover Walker county with FourMinute-Men and has asked Mr. A. F. Fite to act as chairman of he the organization in this county in the following letter: Mr.

A. F. Fite, Jasper, Alabama. Dear Sir: You have been hearitly recommended to me as a man who could and would act as county chairman of the Four-Minute-Men for Walker county. I am enclosing herewith a folder outlinging the purpose and plan of our work, and should like to ask you to accept the chairmanship for Walker county.

I am also enclosing application blank and duplicate for your signature, as well as return franked envelopes for you to use in returning these, the yellow one to me, the white one to Washington. You cannot render a more patriotic service to your Government than acting in this capacity and thoroughly organizing your territory. The work has the personal endorsement of President Wilson, as you will notice in the folder. I trust to hear from you in time for your organization to take part in the Red Cross campaign which will be launched next week. Yours very truly, T.

J. CRITTEDEN, State Chairman. The following letter shows that the movement has the hearty endorsement of President Wilson: Washington, Nov. 9, 1917. To the Fifteen Thousand Four-Minute Men of the United States: May I not express my very real interest in the vigorous and intelligent work your organization is doing in connection with the Committee on Public Information? It is surely.

a matter worthy of sincere appreciation that a body of thoughtful citizens, with the hearty co-operation of the managers of moving picture theatres, are engaged in the presentation and discussion of the purposes and measures of these critical days. Men and nations are at their worst or at their best in any great struggle. The spoken word may light the fires of passion and unreason or it may inspire to highest action and noblest sacrifice a nation of freemen. Upon you Four-Minute Men, who are charged with a special duty and enjoy a special privilege in the command of your audiences, will rest in a considerable degree, the task of arousing and informing the great body of our people that when the record 'of these days is complete we shali read page for page with the deeds of army and navy the story of the unity, the spirit of sacrifice, the unceasing labors the high of the men and women at home who held unbroken the inner lines. My best wishes and continuing interest are with you in your work as part of the reserve officers corps in a nation thrice armed because through your efforts it knows better the justice of its cause and the value of what it defends.

Cordially and sincerely yours, WOODROW WILSON. PARRISH MAN HAS PLENTY OF PEACHES Encouraging news was brought to Jasper from Parrish Saturday by Mr. C. T. Key, known to his friends as "Cricket" Key.

Mr. Key stated that his peach orchard (consisting of hundreds of trees) is covered peaches. Cricket is fortunate, indeed, as quite a number of orchards in the county never bloomed out this year the embryo blossoms having been killed in the bud by the below zero weather of the past winter. Mr. Key has established a reputation for his Elberta peach trees, which have yielded very fine fruit in the past.

Wonder if there are others in the county fortunate enough to have peach es left in their orchards this season? COONER BROTHERS BUY BIG BONANZA ROASTER Cooner Brothers, grocerymen locat ed on Third Avenue near the postoffice, have made a stiff bid for a share of the roasted peanut and popcorn trade of Jasper by purchasing a big, red "Bonanza," a combined peanut roaster and pop corn popper, which is now in operation at their place of business, tempting the passerby with the pleasant odor of freshly roasted peanuts and newly popped popcorn.

Camak Died Thursday Morning. His many Walker county friends and relatives learned with much regret last week of the death of Mr. W. L. Sively, a former citizen and merchant of Jasper, which occurred at the Hillman hospital in Birmingham Thurs day morning.

Thursday's Birmingham Ledger published the following account of his death: William LaFayette Sivley, aged 75 years, a pioneer of the Birmingham district, died at the Hillman hospital Thursday morning at one o'clock. after a short illness. Mr. Sivley came here from Walker county over 40 years ago, when the population of Birmingham was less than 1500, and engaged in the tile business at Elyton. He had been a continuous resident of Birmingham since that time, and was known to all the older residents of the district.

For the past six years he had been night clerk at the Colonial hotel, where he was familiarly known to the traveling public as "Uncle Billy," and with whom he was regarded with esteem and effection. He was one of the few remaining of the rapidly thinning line of Confederate veterans. He married before coming to Birmingham, a Miss Camak a daughter of the probate judge of Walker county, in whose office he was employed as clerk. One son, E. J.

Sivley of Birmingham survive him. Funeral services will be held at East Lake cemetery Friday afternoon at four o'clock, and Camp Wilcox, United Confederate Veterans, will be in charge of the services. Mr. Sivley was a brother-in-law of Dr. D.

H. Camak of Jasper. HE THOUGHT FRIDAY WAS AN IDEAL DAY "I heard a man say in Jasper some time ago that we never have weather here in Alabama to suit us, it is either too hot or too cold or there is something else the matter with it," said Mr. W. H.

Stribbling, Friday. "I don't agree with the man," said Mr. Stribbling, "for I don't understand how anyone could be dissatisfied with the weather we have today." Mr. Stribbling was eminently right about Friday being a fine day. Never again will anyone see a prettier than Friday; it was bright and balmy, neither too hot nor too cool, an ideal spring day, one of the many we have in Alabama.
