SMILES AND TEARS GET MIXED.

Two little stories came to the Red
Cross headquarters from over the seas
a short time ago One was a story Of
bravery that brought the tears, and
one tale of tears that brought smiles.
The first story was Of soldier who
asked for light. He was in bed, and
a cigarette was between his lips, plac-
ed there by the nurse after she had
finished spreading his blanket up
smoothly At his question, she turned
and gave him a box of matches and
hurried on, then remembered that the
arms beneath the blankets were with
out hands.
Nurses have to be without tears, but
there were tears in her eyes as she
turned to strike the match and light
the cigarette for him.
"Quit that" he said, "they were good
mits, and they helped get three or four
Germans before lost them, but they
amt worth crying about, so therew
And the tears story that brought
smiles? Well, that was the story of a
big, husky, colored man, who sat read.
ing, and the Red Cross worker ut the
canteen saw that he had tears running
down his cheeks. She was curious to
know what he might be reading and
was astonished when she looked over
his shoulder to see that 1t was the
canteen cook book.
He smiled through his tears as he
saw that she was watching, and said,
sheeplshly, "You sure must excuse me,
ma'am, but this here book done make
me blamed homeslck. I'm 'shamed to
make baby outen mahse'f, but this
makes me think O. home"

MAKE SOLDIER FEEL He
IS As GOOD AS EVER

Men disabled in the service who are
returning from the front and who find
it hard at first to see their way to-
ward earning IA livelihood are a spec
cial problem for the Red Cross. I'm
der the ith-Sears law fund is APP
propriated to re-eduCate every dis
ahled man who will take the Opportu-
nifty to make a living 1t is felt that
such men are likely to be weakened
in their resolution to keep their self
respect and find real work by the mis-
taken charity of hero worshippers, who
will forget them once the first flush OF
war enthusiasm is over. Here the sup
port of the disabled mans family must
he enlisted, for in the last analysis 1t
is the mans family who will be the do
termining influence In his rchabilita'
ton. The relatives must be braced to
meet the sltuaton--to make of them
selves for the man bulwark against
discourag cement and weakness.

Thursday we autoed out to the

Yesterday we buggied to town and

went to Ned's and pokered til morn

cased up to our room and bedsteaded

me. Yes, sir, he went three feet over
my head. Then, in modification, he
skunk away into the jungle.
"But that is not all. Would you be-
lieve it, later the next day, in another

that self-same lion practicing low

Secretary American Federation OF

The work of the Red Cross Is not
confined to our boys on battlefield or
In hospital nor amidst the ruins OF Bel
GUM and other portions Of devastated
Europe. One of It's great activities Is
any necessary aid to the dependents OF
members Of Americas military forces.
On the battlefield the Red Cross pre-
sents an heroic figure. In America,
removed from destruction and death,
the Red Cross steps silently to the
side Of the father and mother whose
boy Is lover there" and who need coun-
sci and aid
No service is too small for the Red
Cross. II allotments from the govern
Tnent or from their son are delayed, or
Information on the governments war risk
insurance is wanted. the Red Cross is
both counsellor and friend. 1t enters into
the home in the true spirit OF charity
secrecy.
But first and foremost our soldiers in
field and hospital must be given the most
attentive care possible. Nothing we can
do will equal their share In this move
ment for world democracy. and the Red
Cross presents an opportunity for us to
play our part in this great drama by
contributing to the extent Of our ability
The Red Cross appeals to organized
workers because Of it's one quality
service.
Behind Red Cross service is an en-
nobling charity that is not defaced by
cost marks, a democracy that personihes
Jefferson's great principle OF equality and
q religion that Is beyond sectarianism.

1t is reported that the Baker Lead
Co. has sold the Wild Cat mines to
the st. Joseph Lead Go, and the mines
have been closed down, throwing quite
a few of our men out of work. just
what object the St. Joseph Lead Co..
has in mind in closing up the mines
is a question that is being widely
discussed by TIE people here. Ot
course there may be u good reason Tor
this action on the part of the St'
