WELCOME GEESE.
An Unexpected and Badly Needed
Feast In the Arctic.

18Aa&4@N1WRN0Al
Feast In the Arctic.
Noah In his ark could not have been
more delighted over the return Of the
dove than were the members Of Ejnar
Mfkkelsen's party, In the desert OF
Greenland ice, with the sight Of a
flock OF wild geese. In Lost In the
Arctic Captain Mikkelsen tells Of
their need Of food, Of the fatigue OF q
long sledge journey and Of bis own ILL.,
ness. He had become so weak that he
was obliged to ride on the sledge. Con-
sequently their progress was very slow.
We drive on between a lot Of little
islands or banks of glacial Ice Sud-
emily Iverson makes a snatch at the
sledge, causing the dogs to halt in as
constituent, and whispers eagerly.
"Look, lookl What's thatY' He points
to something that looks like lot Of
round stones. and can scarcely be-
lieve my eyes. 1t is big dock Of
geese, sitting there sound asleep. They
have not heard us. In few seconds
Iverson is on his way toward them.
I Of course remain where am ON the
sledge.
He takes aim, fires and the whole
flock rises. Stop q minute! Isn't there
one ON the ground? / snatch up the
glass. Not one, but two are left upon
the field, and after following the shrek
ing flock little way Iverson returns,
beaming with Joy, big fat goose In
either hand. We are delighted and
drive OF southwark In the best Of
spirits. Iverson even stops every now
and then to feel the splendid fat bodies
Of the birds. and we do nothing but
talk Of what a feast we are to have
when they are cooked. The dogs are
doing their best. Iverson marches at
the rear Of the sledge, singing at the
top Of his voice, and even / feel a lit
tie better.

fine WORK AT

n, X.
Industrial Association Of That
Place Has Done Some Fine
Work.

The Garrison Industrial association
has Just closed it's first years work,
which has been more successful than
the most enthusiastic ones had ever
dreamed. A summary shows that the
work was attacked from every angle
to secure The best results. 1t opened
with a whirlwind campaign in the nor
thnrn part Of Indiana and Illinois for
settlers which lasted two months and
gave prospective settlers the 0ppor'
tnnity to see pictures Of the Garrison
country and was followed BY a similar
campaign at home. Organizing the far
mcrs into farm clubs and getting
them to understand the spirit of co
operation.
Assistance was given in securing
good seed and a campaign was put
on for cOrn on every farm. over
10000 acres of cOrl was put in and
during the summer farmers built :he
first silOs in the county. Corn cribs
were built to hold the big crop Of
corn and machine men had to get a
hustle on to supply the corr binders
and ever a real down east husking
machine was purchased and put TO
work by n farmer.
Corn Show Held.
All summer long the farmers Joined
in the move and thousands of letters
and pamphlets went east telling about
the country around Garrison and the
opportunities there. The season clos

Cross Seal day in Bismarck, SO save
your pennies, nickles and dimes, and
money OF even larger denominations
and purchase some Of the Red Cross
seals OF that day. ~ ~
Last year, 1913, 4 total Of SIZE worth
OF the seals were sold in this city, bn;
the committee is hoping for even q
larger sale this year. On Monday
afternoon of this week two wOmel,
| WHO started cut on a canvass sold $5i
| worth of the seals.
What is dole with the money de
rived from the sale of the seals by
the national organization is told il,
the following article by Charles Fran
els Reed:
''1'herc were approximately forty
million Red Cross Christmas seals sold
in the United States during the hOli'
day season of 1913, WHICH means that
about four hundred thousands OF do
lars we're spent by the people CT on
country in order that the fight agai1s;
the great white plague might go on
successfully. =.
"The CHEEKY message Of these
Christmas seals has gone out on Holt
day letters and packages for six years
and each penny spent added to the
greatest crusade of modern times"
And every year since 1908 the ma,
tional work has gone happily on. In
round numbers the gross receipts that
have been gained through the idea
that Miss Bissell gave to the Req
Cross society have been for the years
1908 to 1918 inclusive nearly two mil,
lions Of dollars. ~
The society estimates that the av-
erage person in the first stages Of the
dread tuberculosis can be sent to a
better climate, properly n%ourished,
and made we'll again for the average
sum OF five hundred dollars:
give; hundred dollars to make a
well maitland the, idea that the little
mother Of the Red Cross stamp orig
mated has brought In almost two mil
lions OF dollars, enough to make 5font
thousand people whole again, to en-.
able them to take their places in the
world, happy and healthy, says the
Mothers Magazine. The Red Cross
society has many resources other than
the sale of the Christmas seals, but
think what a helD the stamps have
been. When you do. your Christmas
shopping this year look at the seal
and think what It stands for. Jolly
old S. Mock will. be smilin at ypu
from the 1914 Stamp, but perhaps
some day we will sec Miss Emily i.
Bissell's face smiling at us-7for sure
ly it belongs there. =
II ever a woman has been a true
mother to- the world, Miss Bissell mas.
Motherlike, she prefers to sit back and
let all Of the glory go TO the thing that

take no reward for what she has done,
anxious to- conceal herself from the
eyes Of the public, satisfied and happy
in The. fact that she has been, a help TO

Objects Of Organization.
The four objects OF the association
have been carried out to u greater
degree than first anticipated. First,
better farming was given the lead and
his work has accomplished a lasting
good among the farmers. Second, i'm
migration vas stimulated to the de.
gree that already about twenty-five
new settlers have bought land and
some Of them are there now. Third,
there is a better social and business
understanding among the farmers and
business men. Fourth, Garrison and
its opportunities have been given a
wide and a judicious publicity that
places ii in the front ranks among
the live communities, because its re
sources are being made known. 4
The originator of tn pan, r. l..
Stanley, has been in active charge of
the work since its organization as the
manager and farm adviser.

FALLING LUMBER
CAUSES INJURY
JAMES BROWN HURT WHEN PILE
OF sHIPLAP GIVES WAY IN
BAKER BUILDING.

The falling Of pile of lumber from
the third floor of the Baker building
under construction for the Cooper fur
n.ture store, Court and Main streets,
Thursday afternoon, caused painful
injuries to James Brown, a colored
man employed by the Ottumwa Mill e.
Construction Co. Mr.. Brown is in the
hospital where he is being treated for
his injuries.
The accident occurred about
o'clock Thursday afternoon when a
pile of shiplap slipped from the third
floor and falling downward toward the
basement, crashed through the first
floor breaking a joist and scattering
about the cellar and lower floor of the
building. Mr.. Brown was engaged at
the time in mixing mortar in the eel
lar beneath the place where the lum-
Der struck in it's downward flight. Just
how he was hurt Mr.. Brown nor others
about the building were unable to
state. 1t is believed that portion of
the joist that was broken by the fall
ing boards and pieces of the falling
shiplap that fell through the opening,
made in the first floor above the injur.
ed man struck him as he worked.
Although Mr. Brown has suffered
considerable and still endures much
pain, an examination failed to reveal
any bones broken. He is severely
bruised and may be laid up by the
accident for some time.
