more enthusiastic than ever for Nor
row county. He is OF the opinion
now, as he has always been, that we
have the best country in the world
right here. Crops are even shorter in
adjacent counties than those in Nor
row county, according to Mr.. Farms
worth, and in many places the hay
shortage will work a hardship on the
stockmen.

New Members Admitted and
Club Gives Promise Of
Growing Rapidly.

The Baldheaded Club met Saturday
night pursuant to a call issued by Col.
Green H. Champlin, who was usurp-
ing President of the provisional or
ganization the last time it attempted to
meet and broke up in a row.
AS soon as the club was called to
order Col Clarence Blakemore arose
and said that Col. Champlin was not
the proper man for president. He
had become mere politician and Of
fice-seeker, and besides spent so
much Of his time in Pembroke, that
he was practically a nonresident.
Before the question was brought to
an issue, Col. Champlin arose and re-
signed, giving as reason that he was
tired of holding offices that had no
salaries attached to them. He wound
up his little talk by suggesting that
the club 90 back to first principles

excitement quivering like a pot ofielly.
Col Mckee was elected by acclama-

Nose Elb-who is very proud of a
bald spot on the back of his head that
grows little every year-lifted the
president upon their shoulders and
enthusiastically escorted him to the
chair.

NOW ORGANIZED
FOR RED CROSS
All Machinery Ready and Of
fered for Immediate
Relief Work.

New York, July 9.-The National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, which is already
cooperating with the Council of Ma
tional Defense in an effort to sup
press tuberculosis in the army, has
offered its services to the American
Red Cross to aid in any possible way
in carrying on its work.
The Red Cross, in organizing its
war relief is confronted with the task
of co-ordinating the health and phi Ian
thropic activities throughout the coun'
try. The National tuberculosis Asso-
citation has the machinery already or
ganizcd for this purpose in every state
in the Union in the form of bodies OF
trained workers thoroughly convers-
ant with the conditions with which
the Red Cross must DEAL This ma
chinery is freely offered for the or
ganizing and promoting of local Red
Cross campaigns or in promoting Red
Cross work in any form that may be
determined.
There are now anti.tUberculosis or.
CARNATIONS in every state in the coun-
try. These, with country, city and
other local associations, now number
$500 organizations affiliated in the
National Association. The organiza-
ton of state associations was compile
ted this last year. During that time,
state assertions were formed in Ten
nessee, South Carolina, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Utah, Nevada, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Florida, Oklahoma,
New Mexico, Arizona and Kentucky.
The machinery of all these organiza-
tions is now made available for Red
Gross use.
This is particularly valuable asset,
it is pointed out, in view of the fact
that these associations are well organ
lied and run on thoroughly business
basis. Nearly 800 city and county
associations employ paid Secretaries
and STATS.
The National Association has for
nearly ten iyears been cooperating
with the American Red Cross in the
sale of Red Cross Christmas seals
for the support of anti-tuberculosis
work. Over 100000 of these
seals were soldi 1916.

WHY
Physical Defects Make
Children Backward

Neglected supervision Of the child
by its parents before 1t enters school
is the subject of sharp rebuke and ad-
monition from DIR. Wilmer Krusen, di-
rector of the department Of public
health and charities of Philadelphia.
The general tendency Of parents to
treat without concern the symptoms
of physical disorder displayed In their
children, especially so long as the lit
tie ones are able to romp about in all
the exuberance of youth. is taken seri-
ously to task by the director.
ut is universally agreed that the
personnel of military organization
must be physically fit to endure the
trials and hardships incident to its.
particular duties," says Doctor Krusen.
'"In measure the same holds true
of the children who are to enter a new
environment when registered upon the
school rolls, and who are to give up
their customary hours of play at
home for a seat in the classroom, to
be occupied for definite hours every
school day. A change Of discipline
from that of the home to that of the
school, together with the labors of
study, brings about complete mental
change in the attitude Of the child.
Are your children prepared for this
change or are the older boys and girls
ready to take up their advanced
studies?
"The eyes, ears, teeth, nose and
throat should receive special attention,
as defects Of these parts of the body
are most frequent.
defective vision must be corrected
if the child is expected to keep up
with its studies and to maintain the
same standard as the normal child.
Good hearing is also essential to the
child who receives oral instruction,
as many cases of backwardness are
primarily due to defects of hearing.
Diseased tonsils and adenoids- are re-
sponsible for no small number of
cases of illness among children, more
especially during the school term. By
having them removed at an early date
we permit the child better oppor-
tunity to combat the diseases of child
hood. /
"Of no less importance are the
teeth. We cannot hope to improve the
physical state of the schoolchildren
unless their food is properly masti-
Gated by sound. healthy teeth. 1nfec-
tions through the mouth often have
their beginning in carious teeth"

EFFECTS OF NOTED BATTLES
Probable Results II Outcome Had Been
Different, Explained In Book BY
English Writer Years Ago.

About 60 years ago an English
writer, Sir Edward Greasy, published q
book which he called "The Fifteen De
cisive Battles of the World" His pur-
pose was to describe those great mill
tary events which have had the great
est influence upon human history.
Each battle described, had 1t re-
suited differently, would have COM
pletely changed the course of civilian
ton, says the Worlds Work. Had
Charles Martel not have won the bat
tie Of Tours, for example, the whole of
Europe, and that means also North
and South America, would very likely
have become Mohammedan in religion.
perhaps the Interpretation of the
Koran" says Gibbon, describing the
consequences of this battle, would
now be taught in the schools of Ok
ford and her pupils might demonstrate
to the English people the truth of the
revelation Of Mohamet."
Ten Of Creasy's epochal battles have
been fought since the beginning of the
Christian era. Four of them represent
victories which were won on French
soil-the battle Of Chalons, A. d. 451 !;
the battle of Tours, 1872; Joan of Arcs
victory at Orleans, 1929, and the battle
of valmy, in 1892. Another was a
great French victory won on English
soil-the battle of Hastings in 1865.
Two others-the battle of Blenheim,
In 1904, and the battle of Waterloo in
1S15-were great French defeats. II
appears, therefore, that of the ten
most decisive battles fought in the
Christian era five were great French
victories and two were French defeats.
No other nation has any such military
history as this. This mere record in
dicates the part which France has
played in advancing civilization. So
far as Europe is concerned the great
est events in modern history have
taken place on French soil. At this
time, when the democratic nations
have Joined hands to deliver France
from the cowardly attack which Ger
many has made upon her, it is well to
keep this fact in mind.

Council Of National Defense.

The Council Of National Defense
was created under an act of congress
passed August 90, 1916, and the same
act provided for the creation Of an
advisory commission of seven to act
with, under and by the authority of
the council. BY the terms of the act
this council, with the "co-ordination of
industries and resources for the ma
tional security and welfare" and with
the Creation of relations which will
render possible in the time of need the
immediate concentration and utiliza-
ton of the resources of the nation"
The main body, or central council of
defense at Washington. consists Of the
secretaries of war, navy, interior, ag-
riculture. commerce and labor. The
advisory commission consists of rail-
road presidents, financiers, manufac-
turers, educators and specialists in
particular lines. The board acts as q
clearing house for the war industry
needs Of the nation with authority to
determine the most effective ways of
meeting them. and the best means and
methods Of increasing production, in
Guiding the creation or extension of
industries demanded by the emer-

5000, 900 MEN NEEDED.

With Russia laying down in the
war and the demoboIization of her
army thus enabling Germany to
throw its entire forces against the
Flanders and Italian fronts, It be.
comes more apparent that the Un.
tied States must win the war, not
only by her inexhaustible resources,
but with her man power. This unex.
pected turn of affairs has thrown
the burden of the war on this coun-
try and the future great armies must
come from this side Of the Atlantic.
1t is estimated that In order to win
the war, five million Of American
soldiers will be called to arms, and
the ten millions that were drafted
last summer will be exhausted and
other calls made.

PORTABLE PHONE FOR WOODS
How Forest Ranger Can "cut In" Any
where on Long Lines.

A forest officer of Missoula, Mont,
has invented very ingenious portable
telephone, weighing only two and
half pounds and SO practical that it
has been adopted by the government
and Is part of the regular equipment
of patrol in the national forests this
season.
1t is said that a field man equipped
with this telephone, few yards Of
light emergency wire and short piece
of heavy wire to make the ground con-
nection can "cut in" anywhere along
the more than 10000 miles of forest
service telephone lines and get in touch
with the headquarters Of supervisor
or district ranger. To talk, one end Of
the emergency wire Is thrown over the
telephone line. the two ends are con-
nected to the portable instrument. and
the instrument Is connected to the
ground wire, the end Of which must be
thrust into the damp earth or in water.
Contact with the line wire Is made
possible by removal Of the insulation
from q few inches Of the emergency
wire.
The instrument, writes q. L. G.. In
st. Nicholas. does not ring the bell Of
the receiving telephone. but instead
causes screeching sound from a
