I'pon entering tho tfausi- work room
an earnest worker apologized for
Ixiny la'e. It tfoes to show the
women are interested and are working
like real soldiers.
The time has come when we must l>c
extremely careful in drawing th«> Hue
of distinction between the necessary
and unnecessary. When the girls
realize that the war is ours as much
as it is tho hoys who have gone
"over there," aud that they must
work just as hard to make possible a
victorious and honorable peace which
will make safe for the world the
banner of freedom and democracy,
then, and not before, will the amount
of work accomplish approach the goal
set by grim necessity
Thousands of refugees in Belgium
ar.d in Northern France are depend-
ing on YOU to send GOOD CLOTH-
ING THAT WILL STAND HARD
WEAR. We will ship box Saturday,
April 20th, and all who will are earn-
estly requested to send in new
ments of underwear to be sent in this
shipment.
It is the duty of all of us to keep
loyal hearts that Bastrop may do it.
very best in this crisis.
March was the banner month of the
liastrop Red Cross. We shipped
during the month live large boxes,
two of surgical dressings, one c n
taining 1060 slings or triangular
bangages; tlx- other 5000 gauze com- j Q^pjtol. Tin* result in each statt

sheets, 260 substitute handkerchiefs, Washington and remain there
The County Meet just passed
will long be remembered I y hav-
ing had a blanch of our great
army represented with two aero
planes, we should appreciate the
honor, and thanks are due out-
loyal citizens, the Hon. Paul D.
Page and Mr. VV. B. Randome,
as it was through their efforts
we were Mi us favored.
It thrilled all of us to look
skyward and waich the machines
as they flew through space with
their brave aeronauts a n d
brought us to realize more fully
that we were at war. The pur-
pose of their coming was to
arouse the people more to the
fact how necessary it was that
we should subscribe to the Third
Liberty Loan.
The money thus rais il will go
towards the building of aero
pi tnes, equipping and drilling of
our boys to man them, the sup-
plying of food, clothing, arma-
ments, munitions, building of
ships and all matters pertaining
to the successful carrying for-
ward of this war for "world
freedom."
An? we loyal Americans? If
we are, lots show it and buy
bonds. Are we willing to sacri-
fice a little and remain comfort-
ably situated at home, while our
home b' ys are facing death, pri-
vations; our boys who have given
up positions with bright futures
before them, to safeguard yours
a id my safety. Unless we sac-
rifice in"buying bonds an 1 only
put in just a little "spare money"
we are not doing our "bit" and
cannot honorably face the issue.
Li:t us back the chivalry of out-
boys.
LIBERTY LOAN HONOR FLAG
Tno Honor Flag of the Third
Liberty Ijoan is awarded by tho
United States Treasury Depart-
ment to every town in the country
which sells its quota of liberty
bonds in the present campaign.
Every town which wins the right
iitfht to fly this Hag will have its
name inscribed on the State
Honor Roll under a State Honor
Flag to be unturled at the St,it*
ever put forth by a na.ion. o ,i
allies stood firm and .said, "Thou
shalt not pass." It is not so much

themselves in this struggle to be
dovt.id of all morals and hum

and not breaking, so that lit*.*

as it can never be while any ruler

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
LIBERTY BONDS.
Because our sons and our
neighbor's sons are making out-
fight abroad. Victory depends
largely on whether they are sup-
plied with sufficient guns, am-
munition and other necessaries
to win, and their condition upon
returning depends upon the care
which is taken of them in and
behind the lines. It is up to us
to supply money for the sinew.-
of war and every comfort that
can be given our lighting men.
They offer their 1 iv, s for us and
our country. We are asked only
to lend our money to our govern
ment. Could we do less and re-
main true to oursctvcs, our
country and eur Hag?
Many people have been doing
their "bit" for our government,
now is the the time for us to do
our "dead level best."
President Wood row Wilson,
Commander-in-Chief of the
United States Army, has accept-
ed the challenge from his satanic
majesty, the Emperor of Ger-
many and the King of Prussia,
together with his hirelings, Yon
Bindenberg, Von Ludendorf and
of all the other "Vons" to end
this bloody carnage in the only
safe way for the future, "a tight
to a finish."
This is the boast of a few who
have already been brought to
realize that eventually they must
submit to defeat. It is their
pride and arrogance that stands
in their way, |t leir soldiers are
nothing more to them than cattle
are to us, they are being led to
slaughter like sheep, misguided
by false hopes, doped outtw them
by his satanic majesty and his
cohorts.
The heroic bravery an3 fighting
of our bravo allies, who have
stood firm, outnumbered by
three to four times the number
of men, defying the onward
rushes of the German hordes,
poisonous gases, the greatest ar-
ray of artillery i ossible for tho
enemy to consummate, in face of
this, the greatest military effort
fighting spirit, and will continue
to stand their ground until the
German hordes are brought to
their knees.
For forty long years the Ger-
mans have raised their "Steins"
and drank '"Here's to the day"
when we get through with them.
It will take them forty times
forty years to forget it.
In this drive they promised
their misguided subjects they
would spend April 1st in Paris.
Four years ago they scheduled
to be in Paris in thirty days,
Petrograd in sixty days and
London and New York City
soon thereafterwards, but, alas,
their schedule miscarried, they
met with a "head on coi i- i<
We have made our schedule,
"We are on our way to Berlin,"
and we art) going to K<>t there,
we leave it to the IItins to :hoo.se,
to either strew Palm leaves on
the way, or feeu the soil t. itli the
blood of their subjects, and in-
s t e a d o f singing the
"Watch on the Rhine," we will
have them chanting, "See the
Conquering Heroes Come."

The lnterscholastic School
Meet was a grtat success. Tne
Bastrop school has to her credit
210 points and Smithville, the
winner of the County Meet, has
240. Our boys and girls are to
be congratulated on the victories
they won considering the fact
that they are compelled to com-
pete with Elgin and Smithville,
schools that have double our en-
rollment The junior boys teams
and girls teams did excellent
work. McCaghren and Waugh
of the junior boys did work that
deserve special mention. Mc-
Caghren easily won three first
places and one second. Waugh
was a winner in all the events ho
enterel, though did not succetd
in winning first honors in any
event.
Smithville won four literary
contests, Bastrop three and Elgin
one. Our boys would like to get
the names of Jail boys between
the ages of 1(5 and 21 who desire
to render some patriotic service
to their country during the sum-
mer vacation. Tfiis call not only
applies to the boys of Bastrop,
but to those who reside in any
community adjacent to this
territory. The enrolling officers
would appreciate any help that
may be given in this work.
The Itadcliffe Chatauqua will
be with us again about the 20th
or 25th of the coming month.
