A Milwaukee man died the other
morning at daybreak from having
danced all night. Still, he died with
his boots on, and that's something to

A COLUMN or CLI9pla S
kerensky,
The Albany Herald says:

The Albany Herald says:
But among all the men called to
lead in these dark days none pre-
sents quite as pathetic a figure as
Kerensky, the Russian patriot. A
patriot is a man who loves his coun-
try and is ready to give himself with
out reservation or restraint to what
ever service, whatever sacrifice, coun-
try may require.
And certainly no man has measured
II greater fullness up to that standard
than Kerensky He is a patriot, if
patriot there lives today Loving his
country, it's people and its institutions
with all the deep intensity of his
nature, he has thrown himself into .he
herculean task saving his country
men from the consequences of their
own weakness and folly. Those who
have seen him recently say he is but
shadow of the Kerensky of three
months ago. Never robust, he has
been ground down by the anxieties of
gruelling days and sleepless nights,
ard it is his indomitable spirit alone
that keeps him going.
But Kerensky still fights-fghts the
enemies of his beloved Russia, and has
met the disaffection of Korniloff as
he has met every other menace-brave-
~ confidently, cheerfully, as becometh
ore who realizes that heavy though
his burdens be, he has no right to lay
them down.
Kerensky deserves to win, and to
win he fights as only the finest patriots
can May he not be disappointed!

lends emphasis to our constant ad-
monition, Remember the community in

or to paint the church or schoolhouse;
or to beautify church or school grounds
: or to provide the schoolhouse with pic,
lures, or domestic science department
equipment, or a piano, or a bell
i Colleges and universities are con-
stantly clamoring for "endowments."
Why, then, should not our country
schools likewise appeal for gifts, both
to citizens of the community and to
men and women of means who were
reared in the community and have
moved away? any man of wealth

WillSomebody Donate thu Red
Cross Some Tables and Chairs?

They weren't very busy at the Red
-ross rooms Saturday morning
mellow the place had a sort OF
IN unsettled look about II; an at
Osphere huns about the place that
1,sested not enough furniture. and
5e hammering out in one Of the
back rooms bespoke new shelves
More than a week ago il was thought
that the building was ready for &C
cupation but somehow the hospital
supplies department which is on the
first floor seem TO have been unable
10 get things going just right. And
IL certainly is not because they
haven't been tending TO business, 3"
but rather. a collection of difficult
ties which have made it impossible
for them 20 get settled.
Need Tables and Chairs.
The biggest difficulty is that they
need chairs and tables. Nice long
work tables so that the women who
work there in the sewing auxiliarie-
can have plenty OF room in which
20 work Then in the office they
neel & desk. They started out brave
as q regiment with a kitchen table
Cand a little one at that for their
official desk for the business" Of
the office but they had 10 give II up
for there was need OF a table in the
sewing rooms. The office equipment
now is q dozen soda water chairs
the telephone and the book and a
funny strip Of linOleum around the
euace where tho rug used to be when
there were other occupants in the
building. They Will welcome any
kind Of a desk, old fashioned or
rew-fashiOned. just so it will an
swcr the purpose Of a desk and the
work tables must be obtained some
where and the most advisable way
Of getting them is 10 have somebody
FISH down in their Easements or up
in their attics and bring forth the
articles.
Kn'ttcrs and Sewers Busy.
The knitting and the sewing work
is going along very nicely but il
seems that il has been a little slow
during the last week. This ives due,
no doubt, to the very many other
things that were taking up the time
ard attention Of the people. A little
doubt seems 10 exist concerning the
sewing work. There is no work that
can he let into the homes. The Red
Cross chapter prefers to have the
work done within the Red Cross
building for there are sewing aux
iliaries meeting in the sewing rooms

every afternoon Of the week.
IL Is urged that all workers who
can, bring their own aprons. There
are a number Of aprons provided bv
the Red Cross but there are nos
enough for all Of the ladies anG l. b.

Yarn supply Rather Low.
The Red Cross receiving room is
open on Monday afternoons IRON >
. clock until 4:30 and the yarn room
is open on Wednesday and FRIDAY
afternoons from o'clock until 400
o'clock. The yarn supply is not very
encouraging just at present. How
ever they are letting out every bit
that they can get their hands on
and the people from all parts of the
city are working just as hard as they
possibly can. The situation Of Sc
curing other materials for the Re-
Cross work is just as critical as ir
the yarn department. It seems al
most impossible TO get the right kline
OF materials as fast as they need
the mand every day reports are
coming in that the soldiers are cold
and need blankets and sweaters and
the warm things and then from
overseas comes the plea for the sur
giCal dressings. The women in the
South Bend Red Cross work are at
it night and day and they are turn
ing out a most creditable lot OF sup
plies. Their surgical dressings are
sterile and white enough to scare
a whole regiment Of germs out of
their wits and their knitting thiugs
and their hospital garments are a
joy 10 behold. One almost wants TO
be sick and get 70 wear some Of the

make il indeed a merry Christmas
