There died the other day in New
York. Henry Parish, in his eighty
eighth year. He had been president
of the New York Life Insurance and
Trust company for forty four years
and during that period he had not al
lowed a telephone in the institution
and would not permit lypeWriters ex
cept on condition that they wonld be
placed where he could not hear them
His own correspondence was written
with a pen. one would say that a
man OF this mental conformation
could not succeed anywhere, vet the
company on which Mr. Parish was
president had deposits OF $40. 00O. 900

WORK or THE RED CROSS.

We think it will be we'll worth while
Tor all of our citizens TO become inti-
mately acquainted with the work that

Is to visit the headquarters and learn
what is being done and has been done.

after midnight and there was no foos
on IN" tram. In addition to that the
Red Cross provided a stove. That, of
course, was an emergency call. but
the work is going on constantly.
The American Red Cross with It's
1890 ooo members is now especially
interested in completing plans for
Christmas cheer for our men at arms.
many Of whom win be spending their
first Christmas away from home. The
chapters nearer the cantonments will
arrange in their own towns commun-
ity Christmas trees with carols, pag-
eants and holiday movies. to which
the coo 200 men in training win be
invited
But there must also be Christmas
boxes from home. Without doubt the
friends ana relatives will see that
their own boys are not forgotten. but
what about the thousands who win be
forgotten unless the Red Cross look,
after them

How to Find w ay
if You Get Lost

Certainly there Is no feeling that so
quickly Inspires fear as the realization
that one has become lost. This may
occur in a city forest. even in ones
suddenly and gets out of bed in HI.
dark A psychologist who has devoted
mnch Thought to the subject recnn,iy
worked ont a plan for the lost to find
themselves again
II II stranger gets lost In "a city the
obvious thing Is to stop the first po-
liceman and ask the way. Simple an
this seems. the police of every city
have records OF persons who have wan
dered for hours, sometimes for severa,
days, in search of a certain street or
building Children. old people and
those inclined to alterations are pnr-
ticuiariy susceptible to this danger
Upon all such persons the fact should
be impressed that the first thing to do
is to cali poiiceman. -
When lost in the woods the makter
becomes more serious. That may hap
pen to even the most acute, and the
average city dwQller would have diff
Guilty in finding civilization again. So
the psychologist in question has laid
down this set of rules. When lost in
the woods, keep going down hill and
eventually the wandener will reach a
valleys. Valleys are open places, usual
ly inhabite If no sign of men can be
found. the straggler should follow
stream, which ultimately will lead him
TO a house or town. II the country is
flat. the injunction to follow a stream
is emphasized. In Il total absence OF
water or hills, take note of the sun
determine the points of the compass
and then carefully decide in which di-
rection the nearest htbitation is likely
to be.
Most of us have been lost at some
time or other in our own bedroom
There is no more panicky feeling than
to get up half awake and find your
self stumbling over chairs and tables,
then to realize that YOU are lost ana
start off again only TO meet new chairs
and angles. Nervous or sick persons
are subject to hysteria in such a case.
The psychologist has found that "a mo-
ments calm consideration will set the
lost one straight. but says that it is
best in all such cases to cab out and
secure aid rather than to get another

Why Farmers Sons?

Sir saw in this mornings paper
whore n bunch of slackers went down
from l.olo to have a farmers son ex-
empted from the draft. Now why
should a farmers son be exempt any
more than boy in town who has to
support an aged father? The ia
nave been very prosperous the last
three years and can we'll afford to
hire the middle aged men to do their
farm work, That boy could go away
from home n couple of years and his
father would not miss him, besides a
man who says he would rather shoot
his son than see him go in the army
should have his hoy sent for. II he
Is a good fighter in time OF war as he
Is in time of peace that is the place
for him. Show no favor to the farmer
boys with all their prosperity. WHY
should their sons be exempt, and VIVA,
have they done" If you look over the
Red Cross list YOU will not find the
