A MEMBER. 10 CKXTH A DAY TO SUPPORT AVAR ORPHAN Do you know that you can support ono of the war orphans of Prance In their own homo for only 10 cents a day? Don't you want to help keep these, unfortunate children In their own homes whero they can grow up with a mother's caro, In the little town or villago whero their fathers lived and whero there Is a tradition of valor and honesty to bo upheld? It Is Infinitely better than to bring them up In largo orphans' homes. No greater work can be dono for Franco than to give those, children the chanco of which their father's death has deprived them. Tho help to bo effective must be given at once and for a period of at least two years. Ten cents a day $3fl.r0 a year will glvo an efficiently trained child to the new France. Thero will bo ,300,000 ot these children. Tho money may be paid nt $3.00 a month or In advance for tho year. Why not begin now and save the dimes for the helpless children of Franco? One hundred years ago France came to the assistance of the young American republic; today tho Re public of Franco calls to America through tho voices of each of hor sons, dying In the cause of freedom; "I glvo my llfo. Will you help my llttlo ones?" Mrs. W. H. Thomas, Beaver, will bo glad to glvo further Information concerning tho fatherless children of France work, and will supply nppll catlonB to all those wishing to take up tho support of one or morj of these worthy children.

LAWSON, Beaver, Okla. i for Un- GO 50-50 WITH SANM1E Somo of America's Boldlers and sailors already are In France, train ing for war. Ab soon as they are In trim they'll go Into the trenches, In tho slippery mud and the sweltering heat, to fight for democracy. Many of them will die there, many will be carried back wounded. All of them will undergo hardships beyond Imag ination. The Red Cross Is taking care ot the wounded, kind hands furnish our men with socks and shirts. The United States government clothes and feeds them. But there has been no means furnishing them with tobacco less their friends at home, help them. the soldiers must alt In the tronchoa with empty pipes, longing for a puff or two that would bring untold com forts. The Herald has taken up tho work to help provide tobacco for America's fighting men. Wo are going to do our bit to 1111 up the tobacco boxes. We are receiving contributions for "Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund" for which we have been appointed of ficial collector In this city. The Americans In Franco need to bacco. They can buy Fronch brands If they have the money and, are In tho cities, but at tho front tobacco Is a scarce articlo, even tho French kind. The Secretary of War and Secre tary of Navy have Indorsed this plan. Army officers greot It enthusiastically and the soldiers aro wild about It. Thore's nothing llko a good old pipe to mako a soldier forget hln troubles. Imagine a bunch of fellows you know, sitting In a trench at night, waiting, whispering, wonder ing what Is going to happen next, longing for a smokQ to soothe them. And all they can do unless you help thorn Is to sit there disconsolately and finger their empt pipes or draw In vain on a briar that had served them so well In days gono by. Send In your money. Fill up those pipes. Tho American soldiers in France aro asking for a smoke. Will you pass them by? UIO SHIPMENT OF HOSPITAIj OAHMENTS Another big shipment of hospital garments was sent out from the County Red Crosi headquarters this week. This shipment Includes tho output of all tho branches In tho county. In tho shipment was: 20 bathrobes, 240 bed socks, 60 oper ating leggings, 90 bed leggings, 70 suits of pajamas (140 pieces), 80 bed shirts, and 3 outing comforts. Tho comfort tops wero mado from tho Bcraps of outing left from cutting, wero lined with outing, filled with nice new cotton, tacked and finished complete. This is tho second big shlpmont of hospital garments that Beaver county Red Cross workers have mado pos sible to send for tho comfort of tho sick and wounded and tho work Is only fairly started. It Is a splendid record but we must exceed It. Our county record of perfect organization muBt be offset ,by perfect output and then we will bo doing our best. The workers aro wIlllc. The Blackcm must bo awoke to their responsibility. Sufficient funds snd materials must be provided. It Is ip to every mom of the Red Cron In Beaver county whother man, woman or child to get busy. Those who soo and reallzo their duty, will do it. Those who do not, must be shown and It Is YOUR duty to show them. Don't be afraid to speak a word for the Red Cross. It Is tho greatest thing In tho world today, excepting only the army. It Is an honorable service to do Red Cross work. It should be vlowed In the light of a privilege as well bb a duty. If you don't do Red Cross -work you aro going to be mighty sorry one of tnese uayB. when the uoys come home and tell what the Red Cross did for them how It saved their lives and soothed their suffering won't you feel ashamed ot yourself to know that while they were fight ing for you, you did nothing for them and If all the world had been just like you, there would have been no Red Cross to minister to the sick, wounded and dying soldlersT And then, what ot the boys who will never como homel Those who fall wounded beyond recovery but whose last hours havo been made easier be cause, the Red Cross was there to min ister to them and take tho message from tho dying boy to mother? Don't you want to have a hand In the grand work that is not only ministering to our boyB over there, but which is tho connecting link between soldier and home? Think about It! Tho Red Cross needs your help. Will you glvo It? Rev. H. It. Coffey Mnrrletl The Woodward paper announces the marriage of Rev. R. R. Coffey of that place, formerly of Beaver, to an estimable woman of Supply. They will make their home at Woodward. KNTKRTAINS FOR GUEST Mrs. Johnnie M.
