Rev.. M Fleming filled his regular ap-

US Saturday and preached an excellent
sermon. His text was Timothy So:
But if any provide not for his own

he hath denied the faith and is worse
than an infidel." Come again, Mr..
Sentelle.
So it looks like if anybody comes
to our school house next Saturday
and votes against our special school
tax they will not be providing for
their children, and you see what the
Good Book says about those that pro-
vide not for those of their own house.
1t says you have denied the faith and
are worse than an infidel. So who
can vote against our tax?

SPHAGNUM MOSS is
SUPPLANTING COTTON

Sphagnum moss as a substitute
for cotton in surgical dressings is
coming into favor more and more.
Not merely because cotton is hard to
get, especially in Germany and Aus
tria, but because the moss has quail
ties of its own that makes it superior
to cotton. The University of Wash
ington News Letter says:
"This moss placed on fresh wounds
will absorb seven to ten times its
own weight in liquid; cotton only
about six times. Cotton dries slowly;
moss, with comparative rapidity.
This quality is of particular value in
the care of profusely bleeding wounds
on long trips from battlefield to hos
pital. Because it will hold so much
more liquid the moss is less apt to
let the blood soak through into
bandages, clothing and bedding.
"Sphagnum has springy qualities
that make it less disagreeable to the
touch of the wounded region. When
cotton comes in contact with a sensi-
tive surface it feels as if hard sub
stance were being forced down upon
tender nerves. The contact of sphag-
mum is scarcely noticeable.
"The cotton fibres frequently ad-
here when the congresses are chang
ed and their removal is always pain
full Sphagnum pads are sAnewed al
most without the patients knowing.
"The elasticity of the moss pre-
vents compression of the dressing,
which would exclude the air and in
terfere with the circulation necessary
to proper antisepsis."
Under the direction of Prof. John
H. Hotson of the botany department
of the University of Washington
large quantities of the moss are be-
ing gathered in Western Washington
and prepared for use by the Red
Cross.
Sphagnum moss grows in marshy
places; it is grass green and feath-
cry, each frond about as long as a
finger. A strange feature about it is
that it seems to have no roots, each
stalk terminating underground in a
dead, brown decayed stem.

BILL IN CONGRESS TO DEVELOP
PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

dorsement of the Association for
abor Legislation and the Associa-
ton of Public Employment Officials
has been prepared in cooperation
with the Department of Labor and
other federal government bodies.
CAS- the war develops there is GER
tain to be a dearth of workers for
many departments Of industry vital
to the successful conduct Of the
war" according to the Associations
statement "All of the available
workers for these industries must
be mobilized This means that the
United States must have adequate
machinery for registering employees
and directing all of those available
to the places where they are most
needed. This bill is a vitality i'm
portant war measure which should
be passed by Congress without de-
lay"
Introduction of the bill follows con-
ferences with representative of the
Department of Labor, the United
States Shipping Board, the Fedora
ton of Labor and the Council of
National Defense. Effective en-
ployment agencies are characterized
as can invaluable adjunct to our
war machinery" and the Federation
of Labor adds that they will be
"keenly needed in the work of de-
mobilization following the declara-
ton of peace" England has over
400 public employment bureaus in
operation and her commissioners to
this country recently announced that
they will increase the number to
1000 which is about ten times as
many as we now have in the United
States.

RED CROSS
CHRISTMAS
GREETING

1t was a good idea, originating
with some one full of good ideas, to
have all annual memberships begin
and end on the same day. Therefore
members of the Red Cross whose an
nual memberships have not expired
were asked to renew and start the
first of the year with millions of
new members of this society Of
mercy.
One dollar is a considerable sum
of money to the unemployed and to
those whose earnings are small, but
millions of such have this week
made the sacrifice and lightened their
own hearts with feelings of love
and sympathy
Likewise has this call Of Mercy
been heard by many who are for
tunate possessors of much wealth
and they have. contributed literally
to relieve the sufferings of their
brothers who are fighting the bat
ties for us all.
May the count on Christmas eve
show that more than ten millions
Americans have accepted our good
Presidents invitation to add their
names and give their helping hands
to our soldiers who are fighting for
Freedom for all, forever"
