The Red Cross Drive.

The Red Cross, as a national organ
ization, is making membership drive
throughout the entire country, attempt
ing to secure a membership of ten mil
lion by January /. Old members are
asked to forfeit their previous rights
to membership and to make the book
keeping of the organization more SIM
pie at this time by paying the member
ship fee of one dollar, this member
ship to begin with the new year.
The local chapter is not conducting a
drive because Edgerton now has about
fifteen hundred members and to secure
additional members would be quite i'm
possible. However, the idea Of having
memberships generally expire with the
new year is so much to be desired that
old mamb ers are urged to make pay
ment of one dollar for that purpose,
the money to be paid to Mrs. Louise
Pierce at the Tobacco Exchange bank.
There are lots Of 100 per cent fami-
lies in this city, that is families all of
the members Of which belong to the
Red Cross. In making your payment
before January /, make your family
one of the 100 per cent group.

THE government has approved an in
creased cost to the consumer of wheat,
corn, and cotton of So, $50, GOO, 900 and
increased cost to the users of bitumi-
nous coal, pig iron and copper of
81, $50, 600, 900. The increased value of
these commodities arose from the in
creased cost of production due to raise
in the cost of labor and material. The
railroads point out that the same in
creased cost of labor and material ap-
Plies to the production of transporta-
ton, and the very fact that the gov
eminent has established higher price
of materials they consume is self evil
dent reason for higher price on their
product. The government "war price"
on coal alone means an added expense
to the railroads of $3.50, 900, 900. War
prices for pig iron means an increased
cost of steel for cars, locomotives,
bridges and structural work of another
$3.50, 900, 600. In other words the rail-
roads claim they are operation and
buying on war basis and being paid
on a peace basis.

BEFORE the war began the United
States government employed approx
imately 500, 900 persons in the civil
branch. Now that this country is act
ually engaged in the conflict, the great
army of workers behind the fighting
forces is growing by tens of thousands.
A good example of this rapid addition
of employees is in the civilian force of
the Ordnance Department of the Army.
Seven large privately owned office
buildings are required to house the of
ficials and clerks of this force, in addi-
ton to the usual quarters in the State,
War and Navy building, which were
sufficient before Uncle Sam began to
prepare for war. The Gun Division
alone, which did not exist as a separate
division before we entered the war,
now has more than two thousand civil
ian employees besides about three hum
dred commissioned officers, and it is
estimated that this division will be
three times the present size within a
year. The great manufacturing plants
of the Ordnance Department in various
parts of the country employed about
10, 900 men last spring. Now 10000
are at work in these establishments.

IT is going to take a good deal of
faith in ones self and still greater
faith in the outcome of the struggle, to
give us the old-time Christmas spirit,
If indeed we can realize it at all. To-
day friendships should mean more than
ever before, but stern necessity de-
mands that we practice the strictest
economy in our giving of things mater
ial. But the real Christmas spirit of
love, of service to mankind, is, we be-
lieve exhibited by the people as never
before in the worlds history. And af-
ter all are we not showing the real
Christmas spirit when we give of our
selves for the principles of making the
world better, even though that giving
excluded the material things we give as
gifts?

Huts on Stills.

The early German and Gallo dwell
ings were mere huts, some raised
above the ground on stills, and only
accessible by ladders (like many of
the houses Of New Guinea at the pres
ent time), and others resembling some
what the primitive cabins of the pre-
historic lake jewellers. Their roofs
were low, matched with coarse straw
and reeds, and there was usually but
one window, high up under the caves
1t was long time before these were
displaced by more solid structures.

Do WE fully realize the fact that
every one of us, whether man or
woman, is under the same obligation to
serve the country that we impose upon
the men between twenty-one and thirty
one? asks the Youths Companion.
Have we duly considered the full mean
ing of the clause in the Constitution on
which rests our right to select those
men and send them into the field? That
clause reads that Congress shall have
the power t'to raise and support
armies" If it authorizes that men
shall be drawn who must cross the seas
and fight in France, and if it forces in
to the military service every man who
is capable of bearing arms, it also au-
thorizes Congress to compel part or
all of the men and women who stay at
home to perform whatever work Con-
gress may deem necessary and prop
err" for the support of the armies. The
Supreme Court has repeatedly decided
that Congress is the sole judge what
means are necessary and proper for
the exercise of the powers that the
Constitution grants. 1t can put an end
to the obstacles and the annoyances
encountered in providing war material,
and deal final blow to the Obstructive
ness both of labor and of capital. It
can require by draft or universal con-
scription the service of every man now
earning wages in factory, can fix his
pay and treat his refusal to work as
mutiny; it can divert every factory in
the country from its ordinary produc-
ton to such uses as will help the cause
of the nation. Such action would, of
course, be drastic, but our resources in
men, wealth and raw material would
make us invincible, should the exigen-
cies of war oblige us to adopt it as a
final resort

LARGE increases in the wholesale
prices Of many important commodities
in the United States during the year
have been reflected in the cost of living
to the consumer, figures issued by the
department of labor show. The rise
was most pronounced from March to
May. Farm products increased 1873
per cent in price during the first nine
months of the year, food advanced 1876
per cent, clothing 17.3 per cent. fuel
and lighting Ia per cent, metals and
metal products 24.2 per cent, lum-
Der and building materials 26.7, drugs
and chemicals 41.6, and house furnish

ORIGIN of "peviI,s Sonata

A marvellous circumstance caused
Tartini to write the curiously -named
Devils Sonata" He dreamed one
night he sold himself to the Evil One,
and asked him to play on violin he
used to practice on. His Satanic Ma
jesty complied. with the request, and
played so wonderfully that Tartini
jumped out of bed and began to play
the delicious sounds he had just list
ened to. He could not exactly COIN
eide with the DEVILS efforts, but at
tanned such resemblance that he
gave his sonata the curious name we
know 1t by.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Dec. 10, 1917.
The first packing of the 1917 Connec-
ticut Shadegrown will soon be ready
for the manufacturer, who this year is
crowding the packer harder than ever
for early delivery in quantity. While
the advent of Connecticut Shaded to-
bacco is always a matter Of wide inter-
est, it acquires added Importance this
year because of restricted importations
of wrapper tobacco and heavy damage
to domestic sun-grown tobacco the past
season by hail and frost.
At the outset it may be stated that
Connecticut Shadegrown is the life
saver of the manufacturer this season..
The quality is better than the average,
and, through increased acreage, the
quantity is the largest yet produced.
Manufacturers will be obliged to pay
high prices. Unoficially the talk is
that about 81 per pound will be the fig
ure for desirable marks.

owe MUST pay the price of liberty
or forego her joys Is liberty worth
the price? Ask the Serbians, who
crushed into the earth, yet refuse to
treat with their conquerors! Ask the
Belgians upon whom have been visited
every conceivable form or horror in or
der to force surrender, yet who have
never had one thought of submission.
Ask the Frenchmen who have set their
faces like flint against invasion, and
prefer determination to surrender. Ask
the signers of our own Declaration of
independence who to the maintenance
of the principles of liberty pledged
their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred honor Ask those who fought
to free the slaves and those who res
cued bleeding Cuba from the oppress-
sors, and finally ask your own judgment
and conscience, and will let your an
,swer to that question be the guide as
to how long America will fight in the
present struggle. In the words of our
president: Tt is not mere cessation
of arms we desire; it is staple and
enduring peace. This agony must not
be gone through with again. A peace
which would merely allow time for a
regathering of forces to renew the
conflict would be almost as great ca
lamity as now submitting to oppres-
sion. We must stand to our task un-
til it is finished. Extract from adj
dress of Judge A. II. Reid of Wausau.
