OKLAHOMA PEOPLE DO
THEIR SHARE FOR r. c.
Floris Lady Knit an American Flag
Which Has Raised $4,000
To Date.

While we are talking of the
achievements of Seward county we
must not fail to look over the line

homa are doing and commend them
when they do something real.
In this connection we believe that
we have found a case where some
thing really "Real" has been done.
Going to tell you about it.
M. A. Hopkies was in town We'd
nesday on business with the Equity
Exchange, and told of how the work
of one woman had raised $4,000 and
that the fund was not finished.
Mrs. Nora Burch of the Floris
neighborhood knit an American flag
in natural" colors, which measured
something like 2kx4 feet. This
flag was auctioned off for the benefit
of the Red Cross and the first sale
brought several hundred dollars. 1t
was taken on a Red Cross drive and
resold until today it has brought
$4,000. Last Tuesday it had brought
$500 and it has been sold every day
this week. 1t will be sold at Beaver
again Monday and the Chapter buy
ing it may keep it until the next drive
starts when it will again be put on
sale. Mr.. Hopkies says it will bring
$4,000 before the drive closes. Don't
tell us that Oklahoma is not coming

INVEST IN HUMANITY
By JOHN OLIVER LA GORGE
Associate Editor National Geographic Magazine.

"CUFFER Little Children to come unto me-" de-
~ clared the compassionate Christ.
But never since He dwelt in flesh upon the earth
have there been many Little Children" in need of
compassion now.
There are the Little Children" who have gone to
France for you and me and for Christendom and by
going have given their all. Can you do less? Shall
you keep from your boy or your neighbours boy that
which is symbolic of the Compassionate One by neg
lecting the call of the Red Cross Mother?
Then there the uncounted Little Children"
of allies who have fallen wounded and ill in de-
Tense of their home fires. Who but the Red Cross
Mother can know the suffering, the anguish of the
sheltorn thirststricken soldier who lies upon the
ghostly bed of No Mans Land? Will you deny him
the fe-giving cup?
Think also of the Little Children" of devastated
lands Some Little Children" in size and tender
years. Others, alas, mature in stature and age
but none the less Little Children" in their helpless
ness-their abject need. Can we in our plenty with
hold from them the bare bread of existence? Can
we still inner voice with the thought that others
will bear our burden when in our heart we must
know that there no others?
The Red Cross helps one who does not need
help hundred times more than we need the money
Therefore, let us give, give until feel it, give until
1t pinches. Then and only then we shall know that
we have indeed offered the Little Children" of the
war the tender compassion of nation.

childish way that delights all.
The musical numbers were vo-

son, Vernon Engle and R. T. Smith
and Leo Miller, members Of the Boy

appreciation Of Prof. Fulton, which
showed the high regard in which he
is held by the boys he has so long
worked with. To these Prof. Fulton

many of the pleasant and amusing
experiences he had enjoyed in the
different departments of the church
with many of the members.

What the Italian Premier Thinks of

When the Austrians last October

and drove before them half a million

Italy and the world as one Of the most
magnificent dashes Of relief work that
has ever come to light.

Tales by Arthur Train

that is a special feature of our present
day fiction.
The Rescue Of 7heophilas Necbegin is
an entertaining tale of missionaries and
young lovers in China, with a native re-
bellion to lend suspense to the action. The
characters are more lifelike than those
in the other stories-the young Ensign
in charge of his first vessel, the missionary
and his wife, faithful TO their work among
the heathens and willing to die rather
than desert their station, and the young
girl who has never known youths pleas
ures. The setting is colorful and the
action of the story briskly dramatic.
The Man Hunt, also novelette, rather
than short story, is fairly interesting as
showing various sides OF New York life,
but as fiction is not impressive. The
other stories in the volume are of rather
slight Importance. Some of them are
mere character sketches, with no devel-
oped plot, as The Vdgabond, A Study in
Sociology and The Little Feller, while
Randolph, '64, is a stiff, artificial story,
with the scene laid in Harvard.
MORTMAIN. By ARTHUR TRAIN. Charles
Scribner s Sons. $50.
The sun., 1918-10-06

A RTHUR TRAINS stories in his new
L n volume, Mortmain, are not partic-
ularly convincing. The plots are fairly
well constructed, but the action seems me-
chanical rather than real, and the char
acters lack verisimilitude. The stories
are technically well done, with care for
situation, character study and setting;
but the result fails to thrill the reader.
These are pleasant, clean and readable
tales, but not memorable.
The title story, Mortmain 1.-THE Dead
Hand), is too long properly to be called
a short story, and has the further weak
ness of being a dream narrative. The
modern reader objects to this hackneyed
and unresourceful method of solving
complications. In spite Of its defects,
however, the story-or novelette,, as il
should be called-has interest of situation
and of character Mr.. Train has worked
up a dramatic intensity of incident that
deserved better denouement than mere
awakening from a nightx ere. He might
have made a narrativs Of genuine power
if he had developed is as fact CIR made it
a study in the scientific suEerza:uralism
