VOLUME XXXVII
READY FOR BIG RED CROSS
DRIVE.

Plans for the Red Cross Member
ship drive which was inaugurated
Monday, Dec. II, are rapidly matur-
ing, and interest is being created all
along the line
The local chairman, Mrs. Arthur
B. Hancock, and the secretary, Mrs.
j. Walter Payne, are busily engaged
in completing the arrangements, ap-
pointing captains to take charge of
the houses-to-house canvass and other
important details.
Attention is called to the change
in the location of the headquarters
from Mrs. Baird's store to the Bour-
n-Agricultural Bank, where Miss
Frances Clay will be in charge of
the enrolment of new members.
All checks for dues should be made
payable to Mrs. Frank p Kiser, who
is the campaign chairman
Everybody-men, women and chill
dren-are asked to join the Red
Cross, and those who became men,
bers last Spring when the local
chapter was organized are requested
to pay their dues for 1913 now, in
order that all may start with the
calendar year.
Mrs. Robert Meter will organize
the canvass for members in the coun-
ty, and Mrs. VIM. G. McClintock will
look after out-of-town members.
On account of the weather condi-
tions the work may be difficult, and
for that reason persons are asked not
to wait to be solicited to become
members but to voluteer at their
earliest convenince.
Professor T. NJ. Wood, of the
Colored City School, will arrange for
a hOuse-to-house canvass among the
colOred people.
The campaign will close Christmas
Eve and every household will be
asked to hang in the window a red
cross behind which will burn a candle,
thus proclaiming that its members
are doing their 'bit" for the cause
of humanity, and are manifesting
the spirit of love and sympathy and
fellowship which characteriZes the
Red Cross throughout the warning
world.
The Paris Chapter of the Red
Cross Society has completed and

 Jack Talbot, of the Northland Dock company, purchased from the same company the old Baranovich property consisting of one lot and two houses for a consideration of $500. The lot is located on Edmonds street right above the Leadbettef property.
 Dick Berg, captain of the Gasboat Eagle purchased for the sum of $59O the piece of property known as Lot s, block 2S on Stedman Street

"The German Emperor is consider ed to be madman, even in Germany He is hopelessly addicted to the use of drugs, because of chronic ailments in the throat and ear, which cause constant pain. The Emperor spends most of his time in the Royal Palace at Potsdam. He believes that Germ any lost the war the battle of Jut- land and his most intimate advisers believe that the country must make peace by July"

ARRIVALS FROM
 FAR AUSTRALIA

Leaving their homo in Sydney, Aus tralia, some five weeks ago, Miss Az nes Leahy, sister of Mrs. J. Fillmore Warder, and Mrs. E. Young, arrived at the end of their journey last even- ing with the landing of the Princess Sophia at this port
 Miss Leahy and her friend Mrs. Young will remain as the guests of MT. and Mrs. Warder for a short while and will then tour the northern part of the territory before returning to their Eastern home on the Island con tinent.
 Both Miss Leahy and Mrs. Young stated that the people of the United States had no idea whatever what the countries participating in the Euro pean war, were enduring at home. Every industry is practically at stand still for want of labor, with the except ion perhaps of those directly connect ed or supplying material for the war ring nations. It is very depressing, the lists of dead, missing or wounded, and prisoners which continue to pour in each day without ceasing, everyone being more or less affected, making the countries large family mourning and in sympathy with each other for their dead.
 No man is allowed to leave the count ry unless with the regiments and pass ports are very hard to secure at all.

KANSAS IN "DRY" LEAD
And-Saloon League Attorney Sees
Vision of Ideal State.

Kansas will be in the front ranks
with absolutely bone dry states if the
legislature enacts the anti-liquor bill
which originated in the house. That
was the statement made in a speech
to legislative members by Wayne B.
wheeler, general attorney for the
Anti-Saloon league. He declared the
house bill will absolutely drive liquor
out of the state
The recent decision of the United
States supreme court has cleared the
decks to make every prohibition state
bone dry he said. 1T makes clear
that the state has power to prohibit
the manufacture, sale, possession and
receipt of intoxicating liquor and con-
gress has by the Webb-Kenyon act
prohibited all such outlawed LIQUORS
from having the protection of inter-
state commerce.
The so-called Kansas house bone
dry BILL Mr.. Wheeler declared, will
destroy every vestjge of the booze
traffic in your state. 1t should be-

American Ship Owners Grow
Brave and Set Sail.
INCREASE OVERT ACT DANGER
2 American Ships in Zone To-

War Scare Until U-Boat Decree
Is Revoked.

Washington, Feb. 20.-America's
real danger of an actual clash with
Germany cannot be removed until the
kaiser's government revokes its de-
cree for submarine warfare.
Detention of Americans in the Var
rowdale case and other issues, them
selves admittedly serious, are regard
ed by the administration as practical
ly collateral to the rain proposition.
There was highest authority for
this statement today More than two
weeks have now passed without an
overt act'-but officials were in
clined to believe this m. hit be due
more to the fact that there was scant
opportunity for commission of such
an act, rather than to any purpose of
Germany. Today, however, there are
at least two unarmed American mer-
chantmen in Germany's barred zone.
They are the steamers Orleans Ind
Rochester. Both carry American
crews. Both bear cargoes held con-
traband by Germany. Their safety
from now until definite word of their
arrival at port is made, will be the
subject of the liveliest interest in Of
ficialdom.
Kept U. s. Ships in Port.
In the meantime, it is pointed out
that in great measure Germany has
achieved, in part, one of the main OBJ
iects of her submarine blockade. She
has kept American ships in American
ports, due to fears of American skip
pers of sinkings. Thus she has cut
down on trade to the allies.
But the lack of success of the leu
tonic U-boat war indicated in the
small number of vessels sunk out of
the total bearing commerce TO and
from England and absence of that
| covert act" SO far, is expected now
on to encourage American shippers
and ship owners more and more to
send out their ships. Then will come
| increased danger of the unwarned
sinking OF an American ship. with
| possible loss of American lives.
The collateral" case of the Var
rowdale, while flagrantly Illegal III
itself, is expected by the administra-
ton soon to be cleared up. President
Wilson is understood to anticipate a
number of other such incidents.
But he is devoting most of his atten-
ton to the man issue Of submarin-
ings.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Feb. 20.-wHEAT-Many trad
ers seemed disposed TO anticipate a decided
betetrment of the situation in this respect
within the next few days and contended
that the only distinct bearish factor that
had perhaps no been fully discounted was
the chance for a worse rupture with Ger
many. On the other hand possibilities for
a crop scare over damage in the winter
wheat belt continued to receive attention.
Opening prices, which varied from the
same as yesterdays finish to &c higher,
with May at $1.76H to $1.761a and July at
S1.50A to S1501a were followed by ma
terial gains all around.
Optimism in regard to a clearing-up of
railway traffic hinderances tended today
to send wheat prices sharply higher. Part
OF the buying was said to be for exporters
Assertions that as many as 5000 cars were
en- route westward from the Atlantic sea-
board had considerable eject on sentiment.
er, with May at S1.791s to $3.50 and July
at S1.52h to S1.52s<.
CoRN-Corn hardened with wheat. On
the bulges, however. longs sold freely At
ter opening &c to 15c higher the market
scored a moderate further advance and
then underwent something of a sag.
In later dealings prices again showed
an upward slant. The close was firm at
OATS-Oats were bullishly affected by
reports of unusual scarcity of supplies at
all eastern points. Shipping demand from
nearby sections was also said to be more
urgent than has been the rule of late.
PROVISIONS-Higher quotations on
hogs gave strength to provisions. Offer.
tngs were light until a god advance had
been established
