RED CROSS.

To the chapters and branches of the
Northeastern Division:
Last week a conference of all the Di-
rectors of the Red Cross Supply Stations
throughout the United States was held in
Washington.
We are anxious to advise you that we
are all most deeply impressed with the
fact that men and women of the highest
ability are donating their time and best
energy to the organization of Red Cross
activities.
In behalf of the Supply Service, we
want you to know just what we are do
ing in your territory, and just what is be-
ing done with the Red Cross Supplies
which you are so patriotically furnishing.
1t is a well-known fact that there are
wounds waiting for every surgical dress
ings and that there is great need for hospi-
tai clothing. We are sure you want Red
Cross Supplies hurried to our suffering
Allies, and for fear that some of you
may think that too many supplies are be-
ing kept in storage and are not going to
| the wounded we make the following state
ment.
Thanks to your generosity, we have
shipped to Bush Terminal, Brooklyn, New
York, from June 9th to July 10Th, 419
standard boxes, 3x2x2, all most carefully
inspected and packed, containing the fol-
lowing articles. From this point Red
Cross Supplies have been steadily sent
abroad. They are not piling up in stor-
age

Daniel O. Bowen, one of Waldo coun-
tys most prominent citizens, died at his
home in Morrill,, July 29th, after a long
and severe illness. He was born in Nor
rill May 29, 1912, the youngest son of the
late Tolman and Charlotte Bowen, and all
his life was spent there where he engag-
l'ed in farming. In his early life he taught
school and was for many years superin-
tendent of the Morrill, schools February
26, 1872, he married Miss Grace Elder of
Freedom. In 1878 both became members
of the Methodist church to which they
have been loyal in every respect and have
been teachers in the Sunday school of
which Mr. Bowen was several times su-
perintendent. February II, 1867 he was
made member of Phoenix Lodge, F. &
A. NJ, of Belfast and always kept his
membership in it. For thirty-eight years
he was the correspondent of The journal
from his home town. He was actively
engaged in Grange work from it's con-
ception. For many years he was deputy
master of Waldo County Grange. He

fering of our allies our shipments should
also be larger.
A letter of July 18th, from Mr.. Eliot
Wadsworth, Chairman of the American
Red Cross, makes an earnest appeal, be-
cause of the urgent need in Europe for
surgical dressings that you send at the
earliest possible moment all your avail
able stock of surgical dressings to l42
Berkeley street, Boston, Mass.
We cannot emphasize too strongly the
fact that it is the opinion of many of
those at the head of the Red Cross that
we must plan for at least a three year
task, and we must therefore all BE- willing
to cooperate to the fullest extent. If at
times instructions seem to be at variance
we must be patient, realizing that this
war is the biggest task any generation
has been called upon to perform, and Red
Cross has to develop and change its
policies as circumstances change.
We believe there is only one way to

plies you are making, and that is to send
them to the Red Cross Supply, 142 Berke-
ley street, and allow the Red Cross Sys-
tenn to distribute them locally and abroad.
The spasmodic local giving which appeals
to SO many is not in this crisis the best
method, as it only causes unnecessary
duplication.
The people of New England must fully
realize the need of still greater efforts,
for the world has never been SO bleeding
and tear-stained. Faithfully yours,
JOHN L. GRANDIS, Director.

will spend some time in Tennessee, Mr.

middle of August and Mrs. Deavours the
latter part of September. During their
visit they have motored to all the places

been entertained at the Country Club.
They have made many friends and are

Theodore Crawford, son of w. R. Craw-
ford formerly of this city, is one of the
one hundred and twenty boys forming
the Junior Naval Reserves in camp at
Marion, Mass. The average age of these
boys is seventeen years varying from
twelve to nineteen. This is Camp Cleve-
land, and is unit of the United States
Junior Naval Reserve. They are being
trained in the rudiments of what is nee
essary in the life of soldier or sailor.
The company is largely made up from
New England, still there are boys from
North Carolina, Minnesota and Pennsyl-
vania. One of the principal objects of
the camp is to interest the boys in the
Navy and in the merchant marine, and it
is assumed that such an interest, wheth-
er it leads to personal service or not will
he of great future value to the nation.

 Such Is the historic record of the first Thanksgiving in Ply mouth colony 291 years ago. Less than g. year before the Mayflower, bear;lS its little band of 102 Pn- sr;ms, anchored off the rockbound New England coast. Alone in the boundless wilderness of the New World the heroic Puritans strug- gled through the relentless winter, battling with snow and wind, sav- age foes, hunger, sickness, and death itself. In three months their number was almost one-half of the entire company. But with the spring time life looked more kindly upon the eXiles; summer smiled on their corn fields, and autumn brought abundant harvest. A few little dwellings had been built, and preparations had been made for others, making a tiny oasis of homes on the desert of tthe New World. Then it was that Governor Bradford issued his first proclama- tiou, and the Pilgrims and their h. dian guests partOok of that first and now historic feast,

IF CANARY
 BIRD BRINGS RIFLE FIRE

How one little canary bird caus- ed cousternation among an entire division of British troops and brot down upon its own head hurri- cane of rifle fire and finally point blank shell fire is told by Dr. Rob Art Davis, recently arrived in the United States to lecture on the activities of the Red Cross in Eu- rope.
 Escaped From It's cage
 For more than 8 month on a nor thern sector of the line the British had been secretly mining beneath the German trenches. The work was almost complete. During the operation several canary birds, as usual, were ept kin the excavations to warn the workers of the pres ence of fire damp, which is fatal to the birds. One little songster, however, escaped from its job, flew into the middle of mo mans land' and, alighting on a bush, began to sing.
 Feared Germans Would Get Cue
 Consternation reigned in the British lines. If the bird should be discovered by the Germans the work of weeks would go for naught, as tho enemy could easily interpret the meaning of its presence and prt pare 10 combat the sapping opera ticns. The infantry was immediate ly ordered to open fire on the canary to destroy it. But it seemed 10 bear 8 charmed life. Even the sharp shooters failed to bring il down as it hoped from twig tc twig. Finally the artillery had tc be called on. A trench gun with 2 well-timed shell blew the bird ant the bush and the song into nothing ness.
