The Green Forest tribune., 1917-11-09

 can be used up wherever you are in do- ing some kind of Red Cross work. It is permissible on Sunday and during church services. It is considered one of the most important things that has ever confronted a mortal being and no man, woman or child should be a slack CT. As the time goes on we get deeper and deeper into trouble and our own dear soldier boys draw nearer each day to where some of them will doub tless need aid to be rendered by the Red Cross.
 Mrs. J. w. Snyder Writes Interestingly
 of her Recent Trip East
 Continued from last week.
 The next scene was the old church in in which I mas married in 1865. went to a cousins, the old house, a part of my old home, still standing and in the hands of the Rhas- CT family where a sumptuous repast was waiting us. Thanks to MT. Fred Rhaser and sisters for their untiring kindness and hospitality and to MT. and Mrs. Shollenberger and daughter who made it possible for me to visit many more friends and the cemetery where my mother, three sisters and two brothers are resting.
 The most remark able thing I saw there is the peony l planted on my mothers grave 52 years ago that shows continual growth. Thus 12 days were spent in rekindling old ac- quaintance and association with those I walked thru the fowery paths of life in my youthful days. On the morning of August 24th I bid adeu to my old home and the scenes there that are so dear to my heart, took the car for Dayton, spent the day and night with dear old friend, Mrs. Flasey. The next morning we left for Cleveland, Ohio. My niece met me at the station at 4:30 p. m. and took me to her lovely home there I was elegantly entertained by her and her family. The next day three friends came and took me out in their auto to the beautiful parks and to all of the nice places and in the afternoon to the lake and out in the boats. The sights were grand as Cleveland is such a beautiful city.
 The 27th at 6:30 p. m. my niece put me on the train for New York and af- ter good nights sleep I arrived in New York, 7:30, the 18th, feeling fine.
 My daughter was at the station waiting for me.
 Aboard the Royal Blue sight seeing car we found our guide particularly ef- ficient in telling Us about the points of interest along our route. The first was Madison Square park, once the Potter's Field where lies the bodies of the poor but now a beautiful place to rest A tall building with a clock the space of three stories high. Fifth Ave. where the Rockefelows, Vanderbits, Whitneys, Belmonts, Astors, Goulds, and many other millionaires too num- erous to mention live we find them peculiar owing to the fact that, with the exception of very eccentric lady whose house was shabbier than the others with a vacant lot for which she refuses an enormous price, saying she would keep it for play ground for her little dog, Trixsy, have no lawns, and not even vestige of ground.
 Passing some old and very beautiful churches, especially the little church around the corner, we were impressed with the fact that some interest was taken in the spiritual welfare of hu- manity.
 Theaters, Clubs, Hotels, were of the finest structure. Along Riverside drive were many apartment houses in fact everybody seemed to be living in very small quarters.
 Passing along the Hudson river we could see the monuments erected in memory of the illustriou5 men of our country, the tomb of Gen U & Grant wherein lies the bodies Of the Gene raI and his good wife. At the rear is a small tree inclosed with an iron fence which was planted by Ii Hung Chang whom we are told loved the General very much.
 We visited the office of Gen. Bal lington Booth, Commander-in-C Chief of the Volunteers of America, and was thru his private office where he writes on the subject of the ex-convict and the welfare of the child. We found the General quite communicative.
 Visited the Judson Memorial Church built in honor of the first missionary from the United states to foreign lands.
 Had front seat aboard the double decker car to 192 street passing the Bohemian quarters. It seemed that all the children in the world were in the streets.
