RED GROSS ID FILL
 SOLDIERS XMAS SOCKS

The American Red Cross with it's three million members has just completed plans for the Christmas Cheer of every soldirr and sailor in the Nat ional service. Many of the men who will be in the cantonments and trenches this year will be spending their first Xmas away from home. None will be for gotten.
 Red Cross chapters nearest the 32 Army Camps and Can comments will probably arrange in their towns Community Xmas Trees with carols, page ants and Holiday Movies to which the 60O,0O0 men in train ing will be invited.
 Arrangement of the details of the Xmas celebration for our men in France is being made, but the Red Cross will see to it that every soldier has his Xmas package win it's mes sage of goodwill from the wo- men on the home side of theAt-  lantic. There will be surprises in every package, but all of them are likely to contain to- bacco, writing paper, pipes, ci- gars, and cigarettes, unbreak- able mirrors, puzzles, dominoes handkerchiefs and playing cards.
 Many chapters are already at work finishing their Xmas al- lotment of comfort bags. Most of them are made of khaki and are furnished with extra pairs of woolen socks, housewifes with needles, pins thread and buttons. Detailed suggestions of how to wrap these Xmas packages for shipping will be issued by the Red Cross. The Red Cross will also welcomethe cooperation of anyone desiring to have a part in sending Xmas Cheer to the men in training or at the front. Some people will want to give money to buy ar ticles, bags, mouth organs, en- velopes and paper, safety ra- zors, extra soap, spoons and knives. Some will want to have a personal part in tying up the packages. Children will be asked to help with the package 
 The gifts will be bot from contributions especially given for the Xmas Greeting. The Red Cross War Fund will not be used for this purpose.
 Last year the American Red Cross sent presents of various kinds to the men on the Mexi- can border, and the marines at Haiti and San Domingo. The were suggested by Gen. Pershing on the request of the Red Cross officials. Comment ing on the Red Cross Xmas gifts to the soldiers, he said, "These things bring the soldier to rem ember that the people at home are behind him. You do not know how much that is going to mean to us who are abroad.

WALDoRoRo FOLKS.

Boston Herald: The Waldoooro
folks of Boston and vicinity are go
ing to have a reunion, and in the occa-
sion there is bound to enter bit more
interest than similar reunions. which
are common enough in this city. to
which the towns of northern New Eng
land have long sent their sons and
daughters so generously, ordinarily in
woke. For Waldoboro, among all the
picturesque and interesting old towns
of the Maine coast, was originally q
German colony.
Hyphenates? The answer is in the
cemetery round the quaint Lutheran
church, one OF the few in this part OF
the country, and century and half
old. There are the tombstones OF the
Waldoboro men who fought in the Rev
olution, such of them as came home
again. One Of them, Conrad Hever,
was the first child born in the town,
and he lived to be LOG. And the an
swer is in the little body Of survivors
of the once large Grand Army post.
New England has no better Americans
than the Waldoboro folks. But the
good old town has suffered the fate OF
many Of it's fellows along the Maine
shore Whereas it's population was az
the high water mark Of 1863 in 1860,
ii had fallen to 1855 when the 1910
census was taken. Perhaps one ex-
PLANTATION lies in the expectation Of
900 Waldoboro folks of this vicinity
at the coming reunion.

Gus proofreader; one regards him with
virulent hatred, the other with shud-
dering horror. 1t is his function to
take a story with a sob in every line,
and a libel suit in every paragraph,
and by a sort of literary cesarean OPP
Grafton remove the libel and leave the
sobs; sometimes he removes the sobs,
and then there is a wall from the writ
er; sometimes he leaves the libel, and
then there is a new copy reader.
A copy reader has few friends; he is
a sort of human mustard plaster, I'M
pleasant in the application, vicious in
action and extremely difficult to lose.
The best thing that is ever said OF him
around the office is a mild hope that he
chokes before morning, and the aver
ernoon1 is a ride out to the cemetery
with a. copy reader, and then ride
back alone.

WILL GASOLINE Do MINED?

Popular Science: The latest esti-
mates. of the United States Geological
Survey show that if gasoline continues
to be used up at the present rate, all
the petroleum fields now in use will
be exhausted before 1850. Where, then,
will our future gasoline come from
Billions of dollars are involved in the
question. The probable answer is that
mined" gasoline will be used. Colo
RADIO, Utah, and other western and
middle western states contain extern
sive oil-bearing deposits Of bituminous
shale. Crude oil can be extracted from
them and this can be distilled further
to obtain gasoline. Enough gasoline
could be produced in this way to equal
many times the amount obtained from
all our present day petroleum fields.

Two Volumes Of Vice and squaIor.

Milwaukee Free Press: Hell is a
murky." murmurs the sleepwalker, and
it Is through that murk readers of
Susan Lenox are hidden to pass. Two
volumes Of almost unmitigated vice
and squalor are a good deal for the
sociologist, to say nothing Of the novel
reader. but this is the test set by Mr..
Phillips in the book he labored on at
intervals for ten years. It is a force
full, painful. repulsive story. 1t is
totally devoid Of humor. 1t lacks the
tragic poignancy, the scope and in
evitableness and note of finality that
distinguish Balzac's treatment of a
similar theme. AS matter of fact,

captions. and upon an unsound founda-
ton no enduring superstructure can

DAILY. FASHION HINTS
LADIES WAIST.
BY Anabel Worthington.

A factor in the making of this up-to-date
blouse win be the time saved in finishing
the neck and fronts, as the work is very
much simplified by the collar and revers
being in one, which makes the blouse
strikingly different from the usual style.
A tiny vest Of SEINE thin material fills in
the low opening, which is fastened by a
clever arrangement of small acorn shaped
buttons. 4 desirable bit of fitness Is
found in the gathered front and back sec
tons. The sleeve question is a matter of
individual preference, as both lengths will
be in good taste for early spring. The adj
dition Of a soft gathered frill makes the
blouse quite nice enough for any occasion.
1t viii look well made mp in crepe de
Chine, crepe meteor, washable satin, silk
jersey, batiste or novelty wolfe.
The ladies' waist pattern No. 5000 is
cut in four sizes-Ss, 3s, 20 and AZ inches
bust measure. To make the 36-inch size
requires 3ss yards 27-inch, PA yards &c.
inch, 2% yards 40-inch, with 31a yards
edging.

ton put the fire out on the ground
floor When the ground floor fire was
extinguished and the room cleaned up
the prisoner on the third foor had
started his second fire on that floor.
BY this time the deputy sheriff, Mr..
Natwick, had arrived and he hand-cuff-
ed the prisoner, put him in cage and
left him where he could do no further
mischif. Just where the prisoner had
the matches secreted in his clothes
the officers were unable to tell at thsi
writing. We judge that the prisoner
was on the verge of delirium tremens
for he appeared to be crazed from
drink. The damage done will amount
to about $500, say nothing of the
smoke penetrating the entire jail.

LIBRARY
MEETINGFOR
THE SOLDIERS
Miss Lutte E. Stearns VIII Speak Here
Monday Night.

Miss Lutte E. Stearns, for many
years with the Wisconsin Free Library
Commission, has been appointed Field
Lecturer for the War Council of the
American Library Association. This
council proposes to raise one million
dollars for the establishment of IL
braries for the thirty thousand sol
diers in each of the thirty-two canton
ments, the idea being to build suit
able structure at each one of the can
tonments for the housing of the books
and then to employ trained service in
the administration Of each library
It was found by Miss Stearns, when
she was on the Texas border last win
ter, that the men greatly appreciated
good reading matter during the hours
when they were not engaged in drill.
1t has been discovered that the men
will do serious reading, and that they
wish books along the line of aviation,
submarines, wireles telegraphy and
telephony, trench warfare, engineer
ing, with good history and travel. A
jolly good novel is also appreciated.
Many of the people of the state have
given books to be sent to the camps,
but technical works are lacking and
it is to provide this class that the
committee of librarians is now at
work in Washington upon a list of
several thousand volumes, the pur-
chase of which will involve suitable
buildings to be erected in which to
house them.
Many communities in the state are
adopting the slogan "Give a Dollar
for a Good Book for a Soldier" and
it is hoped to complete Wisconsin's
allotment to the fund before the end
of September. Miss Stearns will
speak on Monday evening, September
"a, at the Elks Club House in the in
terests of this work, her subject be-
ing "Books and Morals in Army Camp
Life" Miss Stearns will tell of the
great work done by the women of
Great Britain who have collected over
one million volumes since the begin
ming of the war, and who have had
whole editions of books with washable
covers printed for the use of the men
in hospitals and camps.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all to hear Miss Stearn's lecture, which
is entirely free. No collection nor So
licitation of funds.
