Complete List of Soldiers.

For a number of days past The Re-

engaged in compiling a complete list of
all the Garrett county men in the mill
tary service Qand and seal of the

have the list corroborated by relatives

is feared that the lists now In course of
compilation may not be complete,
hence the request is made that the
friends and relatives of the men in SER
vice verify our records.
This honor roll will be valuable to
future historians and will be an in
valuable reference list during the pres
ent war. Its completeness as well as
correctness will depend solely upon the
response made by relatives and friends
of the soldiers to this appeal. Fill out

PoiIus Like Oysters and Salad.
The canteen work is one of the most
gratifying ways of helping the men.
To see those poilus enjoying the first
delicacies they have had for days is a
soul-satisfying sight. The English and
French maintain canteens where they
dispense soup, hot coffee and cocoa, to-
bacco, chocolate, etc, but the Ameri-
can Red Cross canteens serve real
dinners at cost or under. The poilus
are Unfortunately fond of oysters and
salad; when they can order a plate
of oysters or a dish of salad in an
American canteen they are as happy
as children. We have six canteens in
the French zone for the French army
France is, of course, divided into
zones. In one line of communication
canteen we serve from 1000 to 5000

In some of the canteens the lights
have to be dimmed on account of aero
planes. Often the lights are covered
with colOred muslin shields which
like. One of the canteens has been
decorated by some of the best camOu-
flage artists in France, who have taken
great delight in covering the walls and
even the ceiling with their pictures
The canteens are open day and night
for the benefit of the men at the big
junction points.
Do More Than Feed Men.
The worIen in the canteens do more
than feed the men. however, impor-
tant as that is. Poilus leaving their
families are naturally depressed and
need sympathetic listeners Some one
to admire his wife's picture, some one
to laugh over the baby's latest sign
of genius, some one to tell him that
the oldest boy is the image of his
handsome father-this is as real
need in the poilu's life as salad or
soup. In fact the presence of these
fine women is such an influence for
good that officers say the morale of
the army is distinctly higher wherever
the canteens are This causes great
rivalry among the canteen workers.
Each one wants her canteen to be the
best and most popular in the service
Besides this direct, personal service
to the soldiers the Red Cross is doing
a kind of John tho Baptist work with
dispensarieS. We have fifteen dispen-
saries scattered through districts

France had modified $4,000 of her
$4,000 physicians, leaving about 5000
for the whole of civilian France
Sometimes you will find one old doctor
taking care of several villages with
no means of transportation except Oc-
casiOnally an aged, overwOrked horse.
Here is chance for the Red Cross to
step in and help. There is a syndicate
of physicians to which the Red Cross
applies to find out if a certain village
has a medical adviser; if not we estab-
lish a center and operate in a given
section around the center
Bathing a Luxury.
A Red Cross doctor and nurse go out
regularly to the villages in their section.
Each village is informed when they are
coming so that all who want medical
advice or treatment can meet together
in one spot and save unnecessary calls.
OF course, if any one is too i'll to come
to the doctor, the doctor goes to him.
The nurses carry among other things
shower baths for babies In many re-
gionS of France, owing to lack of facil
tiles, bathing is luxury, so the super
stition has grown up that it is dan
gerous. Now since the mothers are
convinced that their children will
be neither killed nor injured, but on
the contrary benefited by baths, how
they do look forward to them!

Painters

The second annual convention Of the
Colorado State Conference of Painters
was held in Salida this week between
sessions of the State Federation of
Labor. There Yves good attendance
of delegates, most Of them doing dou-
BILE duty.
One of the principal subjects acted
upon was adoption of uniform wage
scale for the state, which is to be sub
mitted to referendum vote of all the
local unions.
During the coming year campaign
of organization will be conducted thru
out the state in an effort to have every
painter, decorator and paperhanger
become a member of the union.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows:
President-William Knapp, Colorado
Springs.
Vice-President- F. Delaney, Den
yer.
Secretary -Treasurer-A. G. Potts,

Cigarnakers
By j. w. SANFORD.

Johnnie NJ Swanger presided at our
meeting Tuesday evening in the abb
sence of President Peterson, who was
detained at home on account of an
accident to his 10-year-old son. The
lad, while at play, bumped into NOV
ing street car, but is not seriously
hurt
Our old friend, C. F. Hamm, made
us a call this week and presented
us to his new bride. They are max
ing a trip overland via auto. They
went from Lander, Wyo., to Lincoln,
Neb., and to Denver on their way back
to Wyoming, where Hamm has some
valuable oil leases.
Communications from our delegates
at the Salida convention, c. j. Moor
house and George Chapeloni, are to
the effect that they are having fine
time. "Chapie" is a confirmed bach
elor and more or less susceptible to
the wiles of the fair sex, but Moor
house is keeping a close watch on him
and promises to bring him back
safely.
Cigarmakers will turn out in the
Labor Day parade decorated with neat
little badge, "Made in Denver" bear
our label below. A good turnout is as
sured us by the members.
We still have three non-union cigar
factories in Denver, but we are re-
liably informed that two Of them are
looking around for an easy place to
get off. The other one still has hopes
Of continuing. Call for label goods
and we can make Denver 100 per cent
union in the cigar line.
We recently received a communica-
tion from zone Hundred Per Cent
American" which was presented at
our meeting Tuesday evening, but our
members decided that the waste basket
was the proper place for it, and it
was so ordered.
The Bulletin sure covered itself all
over with glory with that convention
edition. Our decision is that it was
an up-to-date, live and instructive pro-
duction from start to finish.
