Palisade Women
Busy On Red Cross
At Village Church

Last Monday was busy day in the
basement of the Union Church, of
Palisade. The clip of scissors and the
buzz of the sewing machine together
with the steady hum of conversation
must have been evidences to the
passerby that something other than
prayer meeting was happening in
the village church. AS matter of
fact a great deal of effective Red
Cross work was being done and
many ready-to-sew Red Cross shirts
were taken home for leisure hours.
the day were: Mesdames Bradshaw,
fall, Miller, Alves, Frew, Standish
Goodman, Purdon, Middleton, Craw-
ford, Sibley, Stewart, Cohen, Logan,
Wolcott, Clarke, Kelly, Brown, Steele,
Schortt, Carson, Tams, Paulson, CAT
and Miss Fannie Bradshaw, Miss
Evelyn Cohen and Miss Florence
Brady.
The association, on account of the
tremendous pressure now being put
upon the National Red Cross asso-
citation, is obliged to provide it's own
material, and is, therefore, largely
dependent upon volunteer contribu-
tions for the amount of work put
out. Any persons interested in help
ing to purchase gauze or shirt muslin
for this work may send checks to
Mrs. w. R. Goodman, of Palisade.
The church will be open on Mondays
from ten a. m. to five p. M, and wo-
men who wish to help with the work
and join the association will be more
than welcome.

Yuki Yama Kura,
The Jap Pantomimic,
Soon At Carney Hall

Mr.. P. j. Carney has again met
with GROWING victory through the
assistance of Dan Noble, in securing
the celebrated Japanese pantomimic,
Yuki Yamakura, who will appear at
the concert with "Baby Metrova" at
Carney Hall, Grantwood, the latter
part of this month.
Yuki Yamakura halls from Toxic,
and is the daughter of Prince
Tomomi Iwakura Yamakura and
Princess Zuka Fujiyama Okayama-
kura.
Yuki Yamakura created quite a
sensation at Vassar Seminary where
she studied the English tongue which
she mastered within six month S
course, and at the close of the school
season, her vocabulary of English
words was larger than many of her
fellow American students, and to-day
anyone in conversation with Yuki
Yamakura, would never dream they
were conversing with Japanese.
Yuki Yamakura did not stop with
her victory of the speaking words,
but travelled to New York, so as to
be able to study the dumb language
of pantomime with Pillar Norm, and
here likewise, she, in remarkable
short period mastered this science,
and is to-day looked upon as one of
our leading pantomimics.
Yuki Yamakura's appearance at
Carney Hall will be as personal
favor to Dan Noble, and it will be an
instance which Carney Hall will ever
be proud of.
1t is next to miracle having
these two noted artists appearing on
the same program, and guarantees an
evenings entertainment that the
neighborhood of Grantwood has never
before seen, and it will be many a
day before such a program will be
presented there again.
Nine year old "Baby Metrova"
Dolores Metrovitch) composes all of
her own dances herself, and is pre-
pairing a new dance, in which will ap-
pear, to assist her, four of her
pupils.

In Favor of Prohibition

Sick Senators and Lame Ducks

DR.. Boyce, in criticising the de-
funct Congress for its sins of ommis-
sion in not fully preparing for war,
was really aiming at the present
body. There appears, however, to
be little fear of this Congress not
responding to the needs of the coun-
ry, since the line up over the ques-
ton of supporting the President.
There ought to be about fifty "1ame
ducks" next year, to say nothing of
he "sick" senators.

If you want garden that will pro-

must, send your pet cat out to board.
Birds and cats can't live together.
If he cats could be trained to eat
bugs that destroy vegetation the
same as do the birds, why, of course,
you could spare the birds and keep

crops can't live together in one
garden.
