MISCELLANY


On motion of Councilman Hookway
the service director was instructed to
give stakes to residents of Cottage
street.
The service director was asked to
see that the weeds in the Israel lots,
near the power house, are removed.
The motion was made by Councilman
Hookway, while Councilman Mawer
added to this the weeds on Green
wood avenue. Councilman Brentlin-
ger then moved that the board of
health see that the weeds on all lots
in the city are cut down.
The sidewalks ordinance came up
for final passage at Monday nights
meeting, but no action was taken,
owing to a peculiar turn which might
render the city liable for the expense
in connection with the laying of the
same.
Adjourned.

UNCLE SAM OPENS MORE LAND

Spokane, Wash, July Hundreds
of prospective settlers lined up at the
Federal land Office here today at the
beginning of registration for the Col
vile Indian Reservation lands, which
are to be opened to homestead settle
ment by proclamation of the President.
The lands embrace the entire south
half of the reservation, lying in the
fertile Columbia River and Okanogan
Valleys. The total area thrown open
amounts to almost 100000 acres. No
where in recent years has more at.
tractive opportunity been offered set
tiers in the opening of an Indian reser.
vation. The adjoining county lying
west of the reservation in the Okano-
gan valley and south and east thereof
in the Columbia River valley, is al
ready prosperous farming section in
which fruit growing, dairying, truck
gardening and diversified farming have
been developed to a remarkable de
gree. Ideal climatic conditions prevail
in the Colville reservation. 1t is well
watered by numerous running streams
and already possesses good transpor
tation facilities.

RED CROSS
Headquarters VGritablG Bee
Hive Of Industry

Washington, July These are
busy days for the American National
Red Cross Society, which has it's head
quarters in the stately marble edifice
that faces the wide sweep of grounds
back of the State Department and
White House. Since the present war
cloud appeared on the horizon the
headquarters of the society has be-
come veritable beehive of industry.
Almost daily conferences are held
by the society's executive committee,
which includes among its members
Miss Mabel Boardman, Secretary
Franklin X. Lane and Surgeon-General
William G. Gorgas. Within the past
week many extra clerks have been en-
gagged to handle the work of the nurs-
es enrolment bureau, the hospital field
units division and the other depart
ments of the organization which, in
the event of real warfare between the
United States and Mexico, will have a
leading part in supervising the work Of
"ameliorating the condition of wound.
ed soldiers in the armies and in cam
paigns on land or sea-"
No details of the preparations made
by the society to carry on it's work
have been made public, since the Sc.
crecy that surrounds the work of the
War Department In these days has al.
SO extended to the Red Cross. 1t has
been learned that parties of field
workers have already been despatched
to the vicinity of the Rio Grande, but
the exact points of destination have
been kept secret for the reason that to
make them public would be to divulge
the future plans of the War Depart.
ment.
Fortunately the Red Cross society
has always practised preparedness.
The war relief board, which is the bu.
reau of the society that will have
charge of the organization work in the
event of actual hostilities, is thorough.
ly prepared for the task that now con.
fronts it. Months ago it made thor,
ough study of field hospitals, ambu-
lances, private automobiles, the sup
ply of capable volunteer nurses and
kindred subjects, so that there would
be no danger of unpreparedness in
just such an emergency as has now
arisen

bly, no body of men in the entire coun-
try is following with closer personal
interest the progress cf events south
of the Rio Grande than the members
of the Aztec Club of 1S47, which has
its headquarters in this city. This
famous organization was founded in
the City of Mexico during the occupa-
tion Of the American army in 1847.
The membership of the club at the
time of its formation was principally
made up of young lieutenants who
wished to increase the social advantag-
es which such an organization would
give them in the Mexican capital. It's
membership then and since has includ-
ed many illustrious soldiers and states
men. The first president of the club
was General Franklin Pierce, who lat
er became President of the United
States.
At the present time the club has
about 200 members, goodly portion of
whom fought in the armies of Scott
and Taylor in AZ. Only men who
were engaged in the Mexican cam
paign and their nearest relatives are
eligible to membership, and at all state
functions the club ranks second to that
of the Society of the Cincinnati. The
club insignia is an enameled Maltese
cross, suspended by red, white and
green ribben, the Mexican national col
ors.
The present officers of the club are:
President, Col. George A. Porterfield,
Charles Town, W. Va; Vice President
Gen. Horatio G. Gibson, Washington,

Be careful of your health.

Be careful of your health.
Save your pennies.
Study not how you can spend the

you can make more.
Watch the people who want to
take your money from you. The

people there will be.
Keep on earning money. II you
stop earning, your fortune will
shrink, as your arm does when
you don't exercise it.
See that your head isn't lame. 1t
doesn't matter about your legs.
Learn to know good people from
bad.
Take good care of your money.
1t isn't half as hard to earn it as
1t is to take care of it,
Be sure not to put all your monoy
eggs into one basket.
BE reliable. That's the golden
rule of business.
