RED CROSS NOTES

The cold weather hasn't slowed up
the Red Cross workers in our county,
in fact, it seems to have worked the
other way. The Delaware County
Chapter made shipment last week of
hospital garments as follows: $50 bed
shirts, 20 bath robes, 80 pajama suits
and "a nightingales. These were fur
nished as follows: By Manchester
SO bed shirts, 8 bathrobes, and 3 pa
jana suits; by the Dundee branch, s
bed shirts: by the Delaware branch,
Is bed shirts; by the Earlville branch,
40 bed shirts, s bath robes, and II
pajama suits; by the Delhi branch, Il
bed shirts, 9 bathrobes; by the Ryan
branch, "a nightingales, II bed shirts
and Ii pajama suits: by the Greeley
branch 23 bed shirts; by the Coles
burg branch. IS bed shirts and 2 pa
jana suits; by the Buck Creek branch
27 bed shirts and by the Bay Divis-
ion of Buck Creek, q bed shirts And
also shipment of knitted goods, as
follows: 135 sweaters, 95 mufflers.
so pairs of wristlets, 80 pairs Of socks,
80 helmets, and trench caps. Al
ready a goodly pile of garments has
accumulated since this shipment and
will probably lead to another ship
ment the last of the month. The above
speaks splendidly for the good wo-
men of our county who are doing so
much for this great cause. This
should be a splendid example to 9TH
ers. May more follow it.
Many cards and letters have been
received from the boys who received
the Christmas packets that were so
generously furnished by this Chapter.
Every message brings back q wealth
Of appreciation from the boys in the
service.
The call for surgical dressings is
growing louder and louder. AS soon
as our boys go "oyer the top. the
demands will be immense. This cOun-
ty must bend every effort to do its
part. From now on until next TALL
the demand for knitted goods will
gradually fall off while the demand
for surgical dressings and hospital
garments will increase tremendously.
Our Chapter has been dOing unusual
work in the knitting department and
in the department of hospital gar
ments. We hope that every woman
who can possibly help will offer her
services to the surgical dressing de-
partment that we may maintain our
splendid showing. We seek the help
of every woman who is now knitting
and who can turn her efforts to this
new department.

with Mr.. c. A. Gale, who was a con-
ductor on the Milwaukee railroad. He
also met with death by accident in

The tragic has entered deeply into

sad by her sudden taking off.
1t is said of Mrs. Gale that she was
tender hearted and kind to friends and
especially those in need. She fulfilled
the injunction Of our Master that the
right hand should not know what the
left hand doeth in her ministration to
others.
She was a warm friend and deeply
interested in the welfare of humanity.
She leaves to cherish her memory
one sister Mrs. Henry Lawrence, Of

through the sudden death Of Mrs. Gale

Blizzard SWEEPS over

RAILWAY TRAFFIC SUSPENDED
FOR DAYS BECAUSE OF SNOW

ence Caused by Tie-Up.

The coolest weather experienced in
the middle west since 1899 extended
from the Rocky Mountains to the At
lantic coast and from the Lakes to the
Gulf of Mexico, caused a general tie
up of business last week. Zero tenn
peratures were registered as far south
as Birmingham, Alabama, while in the
Dakotas the mercury dropped to 80
below.
The cold was accompanied by
a high wind and considerable
falling snow. The driving snow
blocked railway traffic in the states
on both sides of the Mississippi river.
In addition to suspending all passen-
ger traffic, freight was also tied up.
In sections of the country where the
coal supply was short before the Sc
we're storm, much suffering and in
convenience has resulted.
In the cities street car service was
practically suspended Saturday and
Sunday, while travel on public high
ways was next to impossible.
1t has been many years since this
section of Iowa has experienced a
storm of such severity as that Of last
Saturday. Only those persons who
had business of the most urgent kind
ventured out.

A COURSE OF FREE LECTURES,

Through a very fortunate cOmbin-
alton of circumstances, the people of
Manchester will have an opportunity
! to enjoy the benefits of a mid-winter
| Chantauqua
Beginning with Sunday, January 27
Dr. e. l.. House of Portland, Oregon
will deliver a two weeks course O.
lectures on The Psychology of Relig-
ion. Let no one suspect from this title
! that the lectures will be dry: they
will be among the most entertaining
and instructive ever given in this city.
| DR.. House, formerly pastor of some
of the largest churches both in Port
land and in Boston, and an accom-
plished platform speaker, is master of
his theme; and during the last five
years he has devoted his whole time
to speaking and writing on this sub
ject His recent book on the same
theme has been adopted by the Meth
odist church as one of the books
which all candidates for the ministry
are required to read, although the au-
thor is not a Methodist.
While these meetings are held in
the interest of religion, they are in no
sense revival meetings. People will
not be asked to sign cards, stand up, or
express their religious sentiments in
the manner customary at revival
meetings. DR., House is not an evan
gelist; he is lecturer. He proposes
to show that religion is a scientific
as we'll as spiritual fact, and after
hearing him no man will be able to
think of religion as an invention of
priestcraft or superstition of ignOr-
ant minds. but as one Of the great
facts in the nature of humanity and
the world. The following are some
Of the themes that DR.. House will dis
cuss: An Available God, The Sym
phony of Life, The Powers Of the
Mind, The Forces Of Suggestion. De-
stroyer and Builders of Health, the
Psychology of Prayer, the Drama of
the Human Face, the Psychology of
Love, etc.
The meetings will be held in the
Methodist church, afternoons and
evenings. Admission free to all An
offering will be taken at each meet
ing. which is he speakers sole com
pensaion. He has asked for no. guar
antee, and comes on his own expense.

Men in Glass One Will Make Up Uncle
Sans National Army to Fight
Military Autocracy.

The local exemption board is keep
ing up with it's work of passing on re-
turned Questionnaires, and has since
last week accomplished large amount
of work. Rarely ever does the Board
complete its days work until the ear
ly morning hours. During the day
the members of the Board find it ex-
tremely difficult to give any atten-
ton to this work owing to the large
number coming to the office for infor-
nation pertaining to the draft and
classification. AS soon as the Ques-
tionnaires are carefully examined by
the Local Board those in which a
claim for deferred classification is
made because Of industrial or agricul-
tural reasons they are sent to the
District Board at Waterloo for action.
In these cases the local board places
the registrants in Glass One After the
District Board has passed on the cas-
es they return sthe Questionnaires to
the Local Board with the classfica-
tions made. Upon the receipt Of the
Questionnaires the local Board then
notifies the registrant as to his classi-
ficatiOn. In case the registrant claims
deferred classification because of de-
pendents the local board makes his
classification.
Since our last publication the Dis
trict Board has made returns in nanv
cases and these together with those
acted on and finally determined by
the Local Board make up the follow
ing list as reported to us Tuesday
