Quick Action of Farm Hand
Prevents Serious Fire on
Franklin County Farm

Waynesboro, Pa, Jan. Is. If
milk had not been used in the place
of water for fighting fire that
threatened the destruction of the
large bank barn on the Strickler farm,
near Waynesboro, on Saturday, the
loss of the barn by fire would have
amounted to several thousand dollars.
The barn was on the Willow Glen
farm along the Antietam creek, east
of town, and the fire that threatened
its destruction was discovered by Mrs.
). Elmer Beeler, whose beautiful
country home is a few hundred yards
distant, and summoning her daughter,
MISS Helen Beeler, and Arthur Kirk
patrick, who was visiting at the home,
secured several buckets of water, and
hurriedly ran to the blazing build
ing. They were beat to it, however.
by man, who was milking COWS in
the barnyard; he got there first and,
with three pals of milk, he dashed
the tiuid upon the flames that were
rapidly consuming the doors of the
parn, and with the addition of several
buckets of water the fire was ex-
tinguished.

That graduate Indian students are
on an average with Yale and Harvard
men in their ability to handle and use
tools in mechanical pursuits is the
statement of Roy H. Bradley, director
of mechanical arts at the school, and
formerly with the field service of the
department as superintendent of con-
struction.
This is proven by the Ford expert

Mr.. Bradley further declares that
the American Indian is 1000 per cent.
ahead of the Mexican in mechanical
skill and initiative and that the in

dian schools is superior to the same
class of schools in the Philippines.

Early Visit of Buffalo
Bill Vividly Recalled

George +. Ross writes to the Tele-
graph as follows
"The newspapers have been publish
ing many incidents about Col. w. f.
Cody (Buffalo BID since he crossed
the Divide few days ago, and l recall
an incident of his first visit to this
city in the early 70's. He and Texas
Jack" (William Omohundro) appear
ed here in Brant's hall in a border
drama, written by E. j. Judson (Ned
Buntline), who was the manager of
the famous scouts. L witnessed the
play which gave them many oppor-
tunities to display their remarkable
feats with the revolver, and it is need
less to say that many stage Indians
were sent to the Happy Hunting
Grounds by them. At that time the
scouts were less than 80 years of age
and splendid types of physical man
hood They were garbed in buckskin
suits, wore moccasins, elaborately
beaded and large light colored felt
hats, and were most picturesque in
their appearance. The Lochiel hotel,
where they were guests, was the GEN.
ter for the kids" and the young men
of the city while they were here.
"A fraternal society OF which
was then member, was holding a
convention in the hall on the top
floor of the Segelbaum building in
Market street, and as 1t was known
that Buntline and the scouts were
members of the society, a committee
was appointed to walt upon them and
invite them to the convention. I was
member of that committee and
when the invitation was presented it
was promptly accepted. l recall that
Buntlfne made q most entertaining ad-
dress. and the two scouts also. in re-

ing officer. very modestly and rather
diffidently. made q few impromptu re-
marks. Many years afterwards re-

Daniels Gives Details
of Bids For Battleships

Washington. Jan. Is. Secretary
Daniels gave the House Naval commit
tee to-day details of his negotiations
with private shipbuilders for the four
battle cruisers, the result of which has
led him to ask an additional appro-
priation of $12,000,000 to equip gov
ernment yards to build them.
The hearing showed that the ships
will exceed the $16,500,000 limit for
hull and machinery fixed by Congress
and that they cannot be built under
present conditions at any price in less
than forty-six months.
Negotiations now are in progress
with the Newport News Shipbuilding
Company, the Cramps, and the New
York Shipbuilding Company, on the
basis of $14,63S,000 for material and
labor as submitted by the Newport
News Company, plus $4,500,00O to the
Newport News Company and $4,750,-
600 to the Cramps for overhead and
profit. On that basis the department
estimates the companies would make
about $1,500,000 on each ship net pro-

Where is all the patriotism in

put in a lot of time debating,
amending and recommitting a
bill creating a state flag that
resembles a guady streamer on
a circus wagon, and now when
the country is ablaze with war
not a state flag is in evidence.
Perhaps the flag was only intend
ed to display on circus days.
Our people should swell with

Red Cross.

The following is a copy of a.
letter that was prepared and
sent out by Mrs. Geo. H. Cum
ming, chairman of the local
membership committee of the
Red Cross, in the hope of awak-
ening a livelier interest in the
work, both in the membership
and the sewing classes at head
quarters:
What is the Red Cross?'
ITO this question most people
if not all could give a reply in a
general way, but after setting
forth certain facts hope it may
be so plain that even the youth
of America may understand, at
least the origin and principles of
the American Red Cross. The
order of the Red Cross nurses
originated with soldier, Ca
millus de Lillis. when he was
granted permission to use red
cross as a distinguishing mark
for the society which he formed
in 1884. By his work as nurse
and the reforms he wrought in
caring for the sick, both in hos
pitals and on the battlefield, he
has been designated the patron
of nurses.
The present nation and inter-
national organization of the Red
Cross is attributed to a young
Swiss, Henri Dunant, who was a
tourist in Italy during the Cri-
mean war, and was caught in the
dreadful carnage of the battle of
Selfernio. There he saw the aw-
full suffering of the wounded,
and organizing a band of volun-
teers, he personally supervised
the care of the killed and wound
ed. At that time he wrote urg-
ingly, Would it not be possible
to found and organize in all coun-
tries permanent societies of vol
unteers, who in time of war

would render succor to wounded

would render succor to wounded
without distinction of nationali-
ty?" The result of this appeal
was the treaty of Geneva in 1864.
The United States became a par
ty to the treaty in 1882, and the
American Red Cross was incor-
porated by an act of Congress. ="
The American Red Cross is
the only volunteer society now
authorized by the u. S. govern
ment to lend aid to it's land and
naval forces in time of war, and
any other society desiring to rem
der assistance can do so only
through the Red Cross. It's ac-
counts are audited by the war
department. Its officers lare the
foremost men of the nation. It's
work is given the highest recog-
milton by every country in the
world. 1t relieves suffering in
every land, not alone as a result
of war, but when a calamity oc-
ours in any community"
Let me urge you to call at
the local Red Cross headquarters
and learn in detail what the So
ciety is doing. Do you know we
are preparing to care for the
wives and families of our soldier
boys who are soon to be drafted
into service? We urge you to
join the Red Cross, and no true
American will fail to do so. 1t
is the least you can do, and it is a
duty. Membership obligates one
to nothing in the way of service;
it is an expression of patriotism
and desire to help suffering
humanity. Our American boys
are already in the trenches doing
their duty, and the call comes
from them to send surgical dress
ings and hospital garments to
care for the sick and wounded.
Soon 500, 900 of the noblest young
men the world has ever seen
will be at the front; many of
them will die of neglect, their
wounds will become infected,
and their last moments will be
spent in misery and filth unless
we get to them the necessary
supplies. The money that pays
your membership fee may be the
means of saving the life of your
own boy, or that of your dearest
friend. We urge you not to de-
lay.
