RED CROSS

A remarkable expression of the de-
sire to render definite service to the
nation in its war need has been plain
ly shown by the rapid growth of the
Red Cross in this country since the
declaration of war and the extension
of its activities to all parts of the
country. Today there are a good many
chapters fully organized. Allied with
these chapters there are a large num-
Der of Red Cross branches and hun
dreds of small auxiliaries or work
ing committees. There is scarcely
community in this country so small
that it does, not have at least a work
ing committee sewing for the Red
Cross.
A good deal is being done by the
small auXiliaries or working commit
tees throughout Marathon county.
Much credit is due them for their val
liable assistance. TIL following is TAX
en- from the Stratford Journal, which
will explain what is under way at that
place:
"Stratford is soon to have a local
Red Cross organization if the plans
which are under consideration mate
rialize. The feeling has been pres
ent for some time that we as a village
were not doing our part in this great
work. Cities and villages all around
us have Red Cross societies and the
ladies are busily engaged in sew
ing and knitting for the soldiers. Sure
ly we are as loyal as any town and
are willing and anxious to do our part
Several of the ladies are anxious to
see the work started here and have
been quietly working among their
friends and neighbors until quite a
few members have been secured
A meeting was held Wednesday, even
ing at the home of Mrs. Hubbard to
arrange for a house to house can
vass for members. Meanwhile the
Wausau chapter under whose direc-
ton we will work, have been notified
that we are ready for an auxiliary
here and have promised to send a
speaker in the near future A pub
lie meeting will soon be held. All
turn out and make that meeting an
enthusiastic one. Come with the in
tention of joining if you are not al
ready member. Even if you cannot
do active work let your dollar do
its part at least"
The Schofield ladies and girls are
now busy doing Red Cross work. Last
Thursday Miss Florence Alexander
and Miss Frances Albers went to
SChofeld to organize the work there.
Knitting and hospital supplies will
be done by the Schofield people. Miss
Meinke,' teacher in the school at
that place, will be in charge Of the

tors.

ROTARY CLUB LUNCHEON

AT the Rotary club luncheon yester-
Gay noon, the members present en-
Joyed brief talk by L. A. Jones of
Alaska, who is visiting his brother,
G. ID. Jones. Mr.. Jones told very in
terestingly of its salmon canning in
dustries in southeastern Alaska; of
the gold and copper mining; of its
agricultural resources; of it's extern
s1ve coal fields and oil deposits; of
its furs, etc. AS to it's climatic con-
ditions, he said that rain and snow
prevailed to a large extent adjacent
to the coast and in the interior an
absence of moisture. During a resi-
dence of three years, he said, there
was only one time when the tempera-
ture touched the zero mark, and then
for only short time. The cause for
this, he said, was on account of the
Japan current running up along the
coast. The principal city of Alaska,
he said, was Juneau. There was no
stability to most of the towns and
cities on account of the population
shifting to new gold or copper find
ings.
Questions were asked Mr.. Jones
which brought out many things not
generally known to the public, es-
pecially as 10 it's railroads, water
powers, industries, etc.
w. r. Chellis, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, very ably set
forth the possibilities of securing a
new industry for our city, and stated
that it would give employment to sew
eral hundred hands, and could be Sc
cured by little effort on the part OF
our citizens. He said that there
would be a meeting held at the city
hall tonight at o'clock to consider
the important question.
The club was asked to appoint a
member to serve on the "war service
council" and Hon A. L. Kreutzer was
appointed.
