NO CHRISTMAS CHEER
FOR COUNTY OFFICERS
PRESENT INDICATION

Some of the county officials are be-
moaning the fact that they may have
to dispense with the usual yuletide
cheer this year owing to the fact that
the ghost" has failed to walk for the
month of November, and he may not
make his usual rounds in December
before Santa Claus passes this way.
1t will be remembered that about a
month ago enc of the county commits
sioners, Thomas r. Duran. died. Com
missioner Alfred Grunsfeld is sojourn-
ing in the east and may prolong his
visit until near the first of the year.
This leaves but one commissioner
here, and of course he is powerless to
do anything, as two commissioners are
required to transact business, No sal
aries or bills can be paid, and no other
county business can be disposed of I'M
til another commissioner is on hand.
II is not known If Governor Lindsey
will appoint a commissioner to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Conn
missioner Duran, or not. In view of
the fact that the new board will take
office on January Z, the general inn
preston here is that no appointment
will be made.

SOLDIERS STILL
NEED SOCKS AND
WARM SWEATERS

The soldiers are still in need of
socks and sweaters! That is what the
Red Cross officials say and they
ought tc know. on account of the re-
cent flu quarantine the knitting of
wool garments was seriously inter-
fered with. But now that the ban
has been raised and the urgent call
for more knitted garments comes
from Red Cross headquarters, local
knitters are asked to get busy" again
Miss Lou Lee, who is in charge of
knitting work of the local chapter
has received 500 pounds of wool and
is very anxious the allotment of knit
ted garments shall be finished on
time. If you can knit see Miss Lee
and get the latest instructions for
making soldiers sweaters, or else knit
them some socks They need them,
and will suffer unless you do your
share.
1t was also stated Yesterday that
folks are OF the opinion that as the
armistice has been signed, thus end
ing the war, the activities of the Red
Cross have ceased. This is not the
case. The fact should not be lost
sight of that hundreds of our boys
are confined in hospitals in France at
this very minute. IT may be a year
before the American troops are re-
turned to their home soil Until the
army is demobilized there is going to
be considerable work for the Red
Cross to do. Workers are needed to
keep up the stream of supplies.
The two-bit club organized in con-
nection with the local chapter is suf-
fering from lack of contributors,

work of the Red Cross is not. People
should realize this and not allow this
work to lag for lack of
funds.

burst upon me In all Its vivid horror.

with Vera's eyes smiling into mine, her
face bent above me, the golden sun
light Of new dawn resting on her
hair. I could but stare up ut her, un-
able to comprehend, half believing 1t
nll vision to as quickly dissolve into
mist. Yet I was rational, my brain
swiftly clearing to the truth. The hand
which held mine was Of flesh and
blood; those were no dream eyes smil-
ing their welcome, and was lying in
boat, bobbing up and down to the
surface Of the sea. Words came to my
lips, a whispered question:
"You--you picked me up7 We are

"Yes, dear: OH am SO gladi Lie

"Oh, yes am see, I will lean against

My eyes left her face to survey the
others, and the cockleshell In which we
fioated. The little boat bore up brave

Olson were both bailing, and my eyes
took note Of several charred spots
along the gunwale showing the touch
OF fire. Leayord was at the tiller. and

She told me later that lay there

herself that did actually breathe, and
