FUTURE POLICY OF THE
AMERICAN RED CROSS

WasnlngtOn ". u, Dec6mOer I,
Iol8-Henry 2. Dawson, chair
man of the War Council of the
American Red Gross, today issued
to the 1854 chapters and the %,
100000 members of the Red Gross
the following statement outlining
\the future policy of the American
Red Gross:
To the 1854 chapters and 20,
100000 members of the American
Red Cross-the whole American
people will be invited in the week
proceeding Christmas to enroll as
members of the Red Cross. 1t is
confidentially believed that there
need be no further campaigns for
Red Cross funds, but instead, the
annual roll call will constitute the
foundation Of the Red Cross. The
people should therefore know as
definitely as possible the plans of
this, their Nationai humanitarian
society.
Since the arMistice was signed,
1 have had an opportunity to con-
fer in Paris with the heads of all
/ American Red Gross commissions
in Europe and later in Washing
ton with the President of the
United States, the war council of
the Red Cross, the managers of the
fourteen Red Gross divisions of
the United States and with the
heads of ourdepertments at Nation
al headquarters. I am, therefore,
able to speak now with knowledge
end assurance in saying that the
benefcient work of the American
Red Cross is to go forward on a
great scale-not lone as hereto
fore, for purposes of relief of war,
but as an agency of Peace and
permanent human service.
Since Americas entry into the
war, the purposes of our Red Gross
has been, primarily, to aid our
army and navy in care of our own
men under arms, and secondly, to
extend relief to the soldiers, sal l.
.ors and civilians of those nations
which were fighting our battles
along with their own. With the
funds which have been SO gener-
.ously contributed by the American
yeople this war work of the Red
Cross will continue and be COM
pleted with ell possible sympathy
and energy.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1918-12-13

w uoEoF0I our bUlul5iS dbu 6dlI-
ors may be the Red Cross will stay
with them until they are demobil-
ized. Nothing which we may do
will be left undone either for the
men in the war zone, for those re-
turning, for those in the camps
and hospitals or for their families
at home to whom will continue to
be devoted the ministrations of
the Red Cross home service. In
this latter effort 100000 trained
Red Cross workers are now engag-
ed at $500 different places through
out the land.
The problems Of reconstructionf,
involving, feeding and caring for
the distressed civilian populations
| of Europe, are of such magnitude
that necessarily they must be met
very largely by the Governments of
our Allies, with whom our own
Government will cooperate.
The great tasks of fighting tu-
berculosis, promoting child welfare
and caring for refugees, with which
1.-THE American Red Gross has cor
cerned itself SO effectively in
France, Italy and Belgium, will at
an early date be assumed by the
Governments, ,theRed Gross organ
izations and the relief societies OF
those countries which now that
they are released from the terrific
burden of waging war, naturally
desire to take care, as far as they
can, of their own people.
The war program of the Ameri-
can Red Cross will thus steadily
and rapidly merge itself into q
peace program. The wake of war
will, however, reveal theprevalence
of disease and give rise to epidem.

parts of the world will call for un.

tations of those qualities of human
sympathy which government &C.
tions can not display.
Here will be the opportunity fol
the American Red Gross. But
even our Red Cross must not act
and can not act most effectively
alone; we must labor in coopera
tion with the National Red Cross
and relief societies of other nation:
to the end that not alone the hear
of America but the heart of al

both for world relief and for home
community service and thus con-
stitute q channel for the continued
and useful expression by Red Cross
workers and members of those
qualities of sympathy and love
which our whole people have
poured out SO unstintedly during
this war.

fortunately in a healthy condition.
Abundant occasion for the use of
large funds of money and great
quantities of garments and other
supplies will continue to arise, but
it is believed that there will be DO
further need for intensive cam
paigns for funds. The work of
supplementing governmental ac-
tivities, which the Red Cross will
be called on to do in all parts of
the world, will be upon a great
scale, but it will call for human
service rather than for large ex-
penditures.

ton but leaves a substantial bal

subscribed directly for relief, is

The Roll Call of the Nation is
thus to be called at Christmas time

Red Cross, the American people
may send message to our soldiers

of the world that we are not con.

While, therefore, the plans of
the American Red Gross in this
direction can not be formulate d
specifically in advance of the gen.
eral relief program of the Allied
governments, the American Red
Gross is nevertheless planning to
develop its permanent organization
in this country upon scale never
before contemplated in time of
peace.
The commissions which arenow
conducting the activities of the
American Red Cross in foreign

of the Red Cross will be conducted

INVENTOR OF FIRST BINDER
NATIVE OF APPLETON, WIS

John f. Appleby inventor of the
Appleby Irvine binder, whose death
occurred in Chicago on November 8,
was one Of the noted Wisconsin men
who have made great contributions
to the industrial development of the
country. During the decade preced-
ing the Civil War when the Great
West was unfolding it's riches, the
farmers suddenly realized that the
only limitation on the output of their
farms was the inability to harvest the
crops. The Mccormick reaper had al
ready made it's appearance, but it
served only to cut the grain and left
it lying loose upon the ground. Some
device for holding the grain and bind
ing it into sheaves was necessary be-
fore the wheat acreage could be in
creased. To this task young Appleby
turned his attention. A new type of
wire used in his first binder. pro
duced after years of experiment in
a little shop in Beloit, proved unsat-
isfactory, and two months later the
inventor announced the completion of
q Nv 4AG U4uQSIs AIISI d lew mOE0
years of labor the binder was mounted
upon a frame. Then an elevator car
rying the grain to the binder a pack
er that kept the bundle in shape. a
needle that compressed the bundle
before tying it, and tripping device
that gagged the size of the sheaf, were
all completed by this ingenious in
ventor. In 1878 the machines were
put upon the market, and within
few years their sales ran into the
millions. The original knotter planned
by Mr.. Appleby, which is practically
identical with his final invention, is
now on exhibit in the museum of the
State Historical Society in Madison.

TRAFFIC ON RIVER
CONGESTION OF RAIL LINES MAY
RENEW RIVER HAULING
CHANNEL IMPROVED.

PRAIRIE DU CHEN, Wis, Jan IA
Dam building on the ice on the Mis-
sissippi has been begun few miles
south Of here at Wyalusing and north
Of Prairie du Chen IN the vicinity of
Lynxville.
Preparations are being made for a
big revival Of freight on the upper
Mississippi next summer. Government
barges will be put on the river to
haul coal, iron, STEEL oil and other
products to relieve rail congestion,
and from a number of sources comes
information that large manufacture
ing concerns, among them the Stand
ard Oil Co., are about to experiment
with the use Of the river
Building Terminals.
The Deere Pillow company and the
Mississippi River Valley Iron COM
pany made use Of the river last sum-
mer. To accommodate increase in
traffic, terminals are being built or
improved at river cities and towns,
and dam building on the ice to deep
en- the channel is being pushed Wig
orously. Dam building will continue
as long as the ice keeps strong enough
to permit hauling the heavy loads
OF rock over it. The extent to which
it will be pursued is shown by the
fact that 10000 feet of brush and 3d.
600 feet of rock have been prepared
for use on the Dubuque division alone.
ScOurs Out Channel
The dams are built of alternate lay
ers Of rock and willows out from the
shore into the channel throwing the
force Of the river into one main
groove, the swifter current created
securing out and deepening the chan
mel. Dams are built across the mouths
of sloughs cutting them off from the
channel
In summer the work is done from
barges. At certain shallower places
where barges cannot go the dams are
to be constructed this winter and will
be left to sink into place in the bed
of the river when the ice breaks in
the spring.

Mrs, IneZ Carnenter.

News Of the death of Mrs. Frank
Carpenter, which occurred at her home
in Spring Valley, Wis. early Tuesday
morning, caused universal sorrow in
Cassville. She had been in feeble
health for some time but her condi-
ton was not considered alarming un-
til just recently, although this fact
was not generally known to the MANY
friends of the family, hence announce
ment OF her death came as a terrible
shock. The direct cause of her death
was leakage OF the heart. On Dec
IA an infant was born to her, but the
little one expired shortly after see
ing the light of day. In her weaken
ed condition she was unable to bat
tie against the heavy odds and sur
rounded by those near and dear to
her she passed away early Tuesday
morning. Inez was the eldest daugh-
ter OF Mr. and Mrs. Sam Jordan. She
was born in the town of Potosi on
Nov. IS, 1889, and was 20 years of age
at the time of her death. She gradual
ed from the Cassville high school in
1907, and was married in Cassville to
Frank Carpenter in 1912. Their mar
ried life, though brief, was happy
one and was blessed with two child
ren-the infant which passed away
shortly after birth and a sweet little
daughter now three years of age. Be
sides her husband she is survived by
her parents, and two sisters, Mrs.
John Gasner and Miss Iva.
The remains were brought to Cass-
vile Wednesday night and the tuner
al held this afternoon from the Bap-
fist church, Rev. Phillips of Potosi,
conducting the services. Interment
was made in the Cassville cemetery.
Sincerest sympathy is extended the
bereaved relatives. -Cassville Record.
