scope of its war work, II nevertheless
found way to go to the relief of the
thousands of sufferers in the city of Hall.
fax, Nova Scotia, following the ship ex-
plosion and the partial destruction of the
city. Hardly had the word of the dis
aster fallen from the wire before the
headquarters of the Red Cross society be-
came active in starting the machinery of
relief. The administrative officers in
Washington, who were engaged on the
delicate adjustment OF war relief work
in the stricken countries of Europe,
promptly telegraphed assurance of as
sistance to the devastated city and then
set to work to make good that assurance
Workers in the large centers of popula-
ton nearest to the scene of the disaster
were commissioned to hurry to Halifax;
provisions and other things imperatively
needed to alleviate the initial suffering
of the people there were shipped from
the United States or ordered purchased
in cities of Nova Scotia; physicians and
nurses were dispatched with express
train speed. These are a few of the
things which the American Red Cross
society found time and energy to do in
spite of the fact that the society was
pressed almost to its limit to carry on
the necessary war relief work. Absolute
devotion to it's aims makes it possible
for the society to perform these won
ders, aided, of course, by the generous
of the American people.
When we give our money to the Amer
lean Red Cross society we may rest as
sured that the money is going for good
purpose, that it will be wisely distribut-
ed and that it will arrive in time to ac-
the greatest amount of good.
The celebrity with which the society went
to the relief of stricken Halifax adds ire
to the prestige of the society
and encourages the American people to
contribute even more literally to the
treasury of the organization. We have
no hesitation in saying that the Amer
ean Red Cross is an exponent of the
highest ideals brought down to work-a-
lay basis. As long as it continues on
hat line of action it merits the most
generous support that we can accord it.
Bless the American Red Cross!

The retirement of the British forces in
the Cambria salient is one of the few
retrograde movements which the British
have made during the recent course of
the war; and under conditions which
existed while Russia was still in the war
it is probable that the retirement would
not have been found necessary, for the
British could have brought up enough re-
serves to hold the line against all the
men the kaiser could have utilized in
that spot But with the collapse of Rus
sia's military power hundreds of thous
ands of German troops were removed
from the eastern to the western front,
chiefly against the British who were
menacing the German hold on the North
sea bases and who latterly had broken
through the famous Hindenburg line.
That the British did not take Cambria
is due to the perfdy of the present Rus
sian government. But the British heart
is stout, and the United States is com
ing to the relief, while France and Italy
are fighting stubbornly.

THE STARS AND STRIPES.
Here's to the flag that has always stood
For what was right and good
Here's to the flag that shall never fall
So long as brave men live at all.
Here's to the Nag that will cross the sea,
And never come back till victory.
Here's to the flag that will surely float,
Where the kaiser feeds his goat.
Here's to the men that crave the chance
To drive the Germans out of France.
L. j. Bailey, 1917.
THE EARLY BIRD AND THE SUGAR.
If you're awake at rise of sun,
Call me early neighbor mine
On nice-day morn the sugar comes.
! must be up in time.
A week ago down at the store,
The police said "Move on, rubes."
Yet they crowded closer round the door.
All bent on buying sugar cubes.
Along the street there was bunch,
Lined up as for dance.

The Vermont prohibition of doe shoot
ing, the requirement as to the length OF
antlers and the short season are game
law features which are to be recommend
ed earnestly to our own legislators
Boston Transcript.
But Vermont came very near to being
as shortsighted as some of the other
states which permit the killing of does.
Good sense finally prevailed and YER
mont's deer family retains about the
same number of head from year to year,
affording just enough quarry to make
the experience of hunting spicy. After
chasing wild theories Vermont has struck
the right course of handling this matter
once more.

The official war reports, Berlins in
cluded, have had nothing to say of An
glo-French participation in the battles on
the Italian front, 1t is reasonable to as.
sumo that if the Teutons had taken
Britishers or French as prisoners they
would have gleefully announced that fact
in their official reports from Berlin or
Vienna. 1t may be inferred, therefore,
that the Anglo-French reinforcements
have not arrived in sufficient numbers to
take up position on the Italian front.

Why They Wouldn't Sign EN- In Orlear
County.

One woman: 1T is scheme to, save
the wheat to make whiskey."
Two or three preferred to defer signing
until tobacco fields were turned into
raising more useful crops"
Said another; 81 am just as saving as
can be-"
Yet another was afraid she would be
without -four with which 70 thicken her
gravy.
Then there was the good wife who
said she could get along, but that her
husband would not 90 without his bread.
More than for other reasons, although
big majority of the Orleans folks did
sign, many refused because they feared
the government might seize whole or a
part of the supplies on hand.
Typical reasons; One demonstrated
that she was about to move out of town

If you can get five dollars for $4l2 it
is worth taking even though you have
to wait till Jan. /, 1923, to get it. And
if you accumulate a case of thrift certi-

on your money. The way to do it--buy
