RED CROSS WORK
ACTIVE WORK BEGUN FOR
FUNDS AND MEMBERS
WORK AND MATERIAL.

Contributed We will soon be at
work doing our bit in the great or

Cross. Patterns and supplies have
delayed us thus far, but the supplies

materials from our local merchants
and with the patterns and directions
SEN from headquarters last week we
can hope to be at work soon.
Mrs. T. A. Johnson has asked the

Wind STORM
TWISTER BLOWS DOWN BARNS
OTHER SLIGHT DAMAGE
PICNIC SPOILED.

Huron, June IA windstorm
which in some parts of the city dis
played the characteristics of a twist
er. hit Huron Sunday evening at 10
o'clock on the southwestern edge of
the city. Fully a dozen barns and
three silos, together with numerous
smaller buildings were wrecked and
damage was done generally through
out the city by the force of the wind
which tore off limbs of trees and de
molished chimneys. One party OF
picnickers on the Jim river lost their
canoe entirely. They had turned
the boat bottom side up over their
supplies and the members of the
party lay flat on the ground covered
by a tarpulin until the storm was
over. The lunch was not touched,
but the canoe was blown into the
river.

FORTY YEARS SUCCESS.

For a business to be successful for
40 years means a great deal. Among
other things, ii means remarkable
excellence in the products it sells.
No inferior article can be sold on a
large scale for so many years, and ii
must not only be good at the outset,
but SO good that the progress Of 40
years shall not develop any better
article to supercede it.
So women can, with confidence,
depend upon that old, tried and test
ed remedy for woman ailments,
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, still as popular as ever,
though 1t was placed on the market
before the centennial year. 1876.

MISS Winters REPORT
WORK DONE IN LAKE COUNTY
MANY VISITS, ADDRESSES
AND EXAMINATIONS.

Miss Winters, Red Cross nurse
furnished Lake county by the state
organization, went this morning to
Armour, where she is to spend a
month in the same service. Her
service 10 this county was secured by
virtue of the great number of stamps
sold here the past year.
A report, filed this afternoon,
shows the work she has done in the
county. Last night at Ramona she
organized an auxiliary of the Red
Cross with 20 members, and left I'M
der the direction of p. Durang. Ex-
cerpts of her report follows:
She examined 555 school children;
gave 20 talks in schools; visited Is
schools; addressed women's clubs
and committee meetings, IL; social
service visits. so, and attended eight
public health meetings. Besides
these there are 80 other visits of var
ious kinds and purposes.
Lake county is entitled to two
months service of a nurse, but I'M
der the present war conditions it vas
thought best to give a month now
and another later in the year, giving
the time between to other parts of
the state. Due to the war it may be
that the nurses will be called for
service in the field.
In the time spent defects of nose,
throat and ears of many school chill
dren were detected. These will be
righted before the opening of another
year. it is said.
Miss Winters endorsed the milk
distributing system of Madison, say.
ing that the milk is obtained from
tuberculin tested COWS, and is dis
tributed through a clearly and SAM
tary central depot.
She reports that the Civic and
Child's Welfare league presented
resolutions to the State Medical asso-
citation, asking for better protection
and more efficient quarantine
against the spread of contagious dis
eases. This resolution is TO be pre-
scented to the federation Of women!
clubs, and to the medical association
next fall.

Inspect BRIDGE
FAULTS In BUILDING MORE OF
SIGHT THAN OF UTILITY
WORK LEFT ROUGH.

The county and city commissioners
today viewed the bridge on upper
Egan avenue with a view to accept
ing it, with whatever credit on the
bill might accrue from defective
workmanship or material. Engineer
C. A. Trimmer accompanied them in
their investigation. They found that
the work was not satisfactorily COM
pleted, and do not intend to allow
the bill for its construction until
some minor matters of finishing are
done.
According to the inspection of to-
day, there is nothing materially de-
fective about the bridge. In general
appearance it is acceptable. In
places there are items of exposed
steel used in the reinforcing. The
finish IN the parts exposed to public
sight is left in a rough condition, in
places pits and coarse gravel showing
plainly. AT the junction of the wings
with the main body of the bridge
there are cracks due to the long
stretch Of building without allowing
for expansion and contraction with
flexible joints. The close inspection
did not reveal any material faults of
construction. Fw
The exposed steel reinforcing is
beneath the top slab. Under the
bridge, too. are left strips of wood,
remains of the forms from which the
bridge was made. These, it is claim
ed, will have to be removed. Wher
the work of finishing is completed
the commissioners infer, the bill fol
construction will be allowed.

MAKING A FINAL THRUST FOR
BRILLIANT FINISH-TO
CLOSE THURSDAY.

With $4,000 more of subscrip-
tons TO raise and only two days in
which to make the apportionment for
Lake county good, the committees
are working hard to consummate the
task. Up to this morning there had
been 100000 reported to the county
committee. They are nov summon
ing all their energy toward making a
final drive for the objective oil
S125,000.
Today there are two committees.
headed by G. E. Olstad and c. A
Stensland, working hard from house
to house in lie Roy township and
two others under John w. Walden
and w. /. Thompson, doing the same
for Lake View.
Last night John w. Walden, II. II
Holdridge and l.. G.. Anterior held a
meeting at Ramona, with excellent
results. From that town there are
today three workers with as many
cars working the township, and good
results are expected by the active and
aggressive campaign.
The subscriptions for the loans
close at noon Thursday. Those ap-
plying after that hour can receive nC
consideration. The lists must be il
the central committees hands by
noon of Friday, and in order to get
them there it will be necessary fol
the local committee to mail them or
Thursday.
Reports from many rural commu.
mites throughout the state are to the
| effect that the loan meets with bur
lukewarm response. The work Of
the local committee is to be com,
mended. They have made an excel
lent showing, against an apathy OF
the people which shows that we dc
not realize that we are at war.
