Society Waging Christmas
Campaign Mistaken for
Salvation Army.

Even so great a charitable organiza-
ton as the Red Cross Society some
times has its mission misunderstood by
person here and there. They are
telling OF an instance Of this kind at
District headquarters today
1t seems that a kind-hearted old
woman strolled up to the postofflce
booth. She said that she wanted to
buy few stamps, but-''would the
young lady tell me something about the
Red Cross"
One Of the volunteers IN charge Of the
booth complied with her request, going
into the history Of the organization
from its formation until the present
day. When she had finished the aged
woman said: f,
We'll. do you know, I'm mighty glad
l asked you. 1 had always thought
that the Red Cross was a branch of
the Salvation Army"
However. that Is merely one OF the
little sidelishts on the great Christmas
campaign now under way throughout
the District. II tends to show that the
average person is tenderhearted, al
though ideas upon the particular nature
Of the charity being helped may be a
bit hay.
The District headquarters placed an
other order for the Red Cross postcards
this morning. This news is interesting
mainly because 1000 cards were at first
ordered, and II was then feared there
would be an unsold surplus. Today S
order Is for the eighth thousand and the
demand is daily increasing.
The example set by the President in
pasting Red Cross stamp on every en-
velope that goes out of the White House
has had a general good effect.

OBITUARY..

The death, at her home on the Sidney road,
Watervile, Wednesday night, June 18th, of
Grace Balentine Burns, wife of Caleb E. S.
Rurns and daughter of Mr. and Mrs George
Balentine, came as a shock to relatives and
friends here, where she had won the regard of
all who met her as the guest of her sister-in-
law, Mrs. David L. Wilson. Beside her par
ents and husband, she leaves an infant son,
Bruce Balentine, and the sympathy of many
here goes out to the sorrowing ones. The
funeral took place in Waterville last Saturday,
Rev. D. L. Wilson of this city officiating, as
sisted by Rev. E. C. Whittemore of the First
Baptist church of Waterville. The Kennebec
Journal says of Mrs. Burns:
Trained in the public schools of Waterville
she was graduated with honor from Colby Col
lege in 1902. For the next three years she
taught in Fort Fairfield High school and for
the two years following she was a teacher in
the High school at Lvermore Falls. In 1908
she was married to Caleb Burns. She was a
member of the Baptist church and the Alpha
Chapter of Sigma Kappa. Both relatives and
friends have lost unusual friend. Her
bright, happy way endeared her to many and
her line, good common sense, which is such an
uncommon possession, kept as friends those
who became much acquainted with her To
all who knew her, she was full of sweetness
and light, and about her, centered father
mother, husband and infant son. To them
especially will turn the sympathy of all who
loved her.
