FOR WAR SUFFERERS.

1t is understood that Red Cross
chapters all over the country have
been ordered to go to work at
once on refuge garments. This is
a beginning of concerted work in
this country for civilian relief and
means that the United States will
be expected to supply all kinds Of
clothing, blankets, etc, for the re-
lief of civilian war sufferers among
the poorer classes in foreign coun-
tries. It is thought that this will
cause an abnormal demand and
create scarcity of all grades of
outings and cotton flannels.

PERMANENT BLIND
RELIEF WAR FUND

Nashville, December 2,-From
the human debris of the greatest
war in all history. large numbers
of blinded men, helpless, crushed,
suffering the extreme of mental
and physical agony, are being
taken, complicating the cruelist
and most shocking problem that
has grown out of any war since the
beginning Of time,-what to do
with many thousands of soldiers
incapacitated by the loss of their
sight is the problem. Every avail
able institution in France has been
found distressingly inadequate for
taking care of these stricken heroes
who have sacrificed their eyes to
save from a fate far worse than
than death their loved ones and
yours.
The American, British, French,
Belgian, Russian, Italian Serbian
Permanent War Relief Fund has
taxed its resources to the utmost to
meet the situation. The fund is
supported by the public throuhout
the United States and it's purpose
is we'll known. 1t is maintaining,
under direction of the French
Government, five institutions in
France for the rehabilitation of
totally blinded soldiers-practical
constructive work that turns
hopeless, despairing wreck into q
self-reliant, self-respecting, con-
tented member of the community,
fully able to earn a good living for
himself and family. An appalling
number of blind have poured into
Paris and on the edge of this in
ferno, of this swirling pit of hor-
ror, our American institutions
must at all cost be maintained un-
til they have accomplished their
holy mission.
We are sending to his native
city or village every blind man who
has been reeducated in trade,
paying his rent for year, giving
him his furniture, tools necessary
for his trade, typewriter, knitting
machine, or whatever he may re-
quire to start him afresh. 1t mat
ters nothing wheather he be reedu-
Gated in our schools, in the govern
ment schools, or any private insti-
tuition. We treat them all alike.
We have a permanent warehouse
where there is constantly on hand
a supply of tools and other trade
equipment and every kind of raw
material needed which we purchase
in very large quantities at the low
est market prices and sell to all
blinded men at absolute cost in
small quantities as asked for.
Payment is not required until the
finished product has been sold by
the men and they have collected
their bills for it. This warehouse
has to be maintained, because in

* GOOD JOB FOR
EVERY SOLDIER

The State Council of National
Defense has been asked to aid in
Every possible way the program for
rehabilitation and the securing of
Employment for the returning sol
'ilers. The slogan adopted is
lood job for every soldier and the
Federal Employment Bureau has
asked that the Federal Director in
every State take up the question of
securing work for the soldiers and
that local bureaus be established in
Every city aud town in the country
A representative of the employ
'nent service will also be stationed
ft every camp and information
collected by the various local
boards will he forwarded to the
respective camp representatives sol
that every soldier who wants EN-
ployment will be advised upon
]ehving camp of the needs in his
respective community and the po-
Etion open TO him. In addition
he will be given an Introductory
card which will put him in touch
with that industry in which his
services are needed.
In the working out of this pro-
gram every commercial club, all
labor union, all civic organizations,
the mayors of all cities and towns,
the several county chairmen of the
council of defense and employment
organizations generally are being
called upon for their assistance in
seeing that the demobilization of
fhe army does not result in num-
hers of idle men.
This plan, in general way, is
the unifcation of the many plans
to replace men in industry and
should be given the full support of
severy community in the State.
The Government is anxious that
the boys shall be advised of the in
i'ustrial needs and the plans of the
employment service contemplate
That they shall have this informa-
ton even before they leave camp
for their homes. While the pro-
posed industrial survey will con-
tain information of general ma
ture it is the plan now to have the
various local bureaus to be es-
tablished in every city and town
prepare information of specific
nature to be tranimitted to the
camp representative of the employ
nIent service.
"a good job for every soldier"
is good slogan and Major Rut-
ledge Smith, chairman of the State
Council of Defense, urges every
loyal American citizen to keep this
slogan in mind and render what
nid is in his power in seeing that
The returning soldiers are taken
care of in whatever industrial line
they are best qualified.
It is especially emphasized by
sihe National officers that the need
for good farm labor be stressed
and that there be no slaekening of
effort to place as many of the boys
who are agriculturally inclined as

Moving Wheat With Truck.

Carlson Brothers, big wheat farm
ers of the Gooseberry section, re-
Gently purchased from the River
Auto Co. at lone, ~ ton More
land truck and have been using the
machine to transfer their wheat
FROM the farm to the railroad. The
results they have obtained so far
have been very satisfactory. They
make two trips to town day, a
distance of II miles, drawing 60
sacks of wheat at trip. 1t takes
Just three hours to make the round
trip over the roads as they are at the
present, so it can be seen that COM
pared with horse transportation the
results are very flattering To move
the same amount of wheat would
require the services of two 12-horse
teams with trail wagons, making a
round trip every two days, Besides
the truck requires but little feed in
the shape of gasoline and motor OH
The Carlson boys are satisfied with
their experiment and believe that the
truck is soon to take the place of the
horse and mule in Morrow county fol-

Gas masks contain a certain brand

duces charcoal superior to all others.
For this reason the government has
placed the humble cOconut on the list

to ship as many as they can.

WEARIED OF CONSTANT BRAY
SPanisrds Make Offer to Exchange
Mules for Something That Has
More Musical Sound.

A little while ago it was reputed
that the army mule in France, inval-
uable for transport, was making him
self obnoxious by his propensity 10
bray when in close proximity TO the
enemy. And now, according TO ad-
vices received by the National Piano
Manufacturers association. the Span
iardS are anxious to dispose Of their
mules to Us and to obtain in return
pianos and other musical instruments.
Evidently what Wordsworth calls
''the hard, dry See-saw of his horrible
bray" is no better reliShed by the
esthetc consciousness of the IberianS
than by the valorouS gentlemen of
France. 1t is doubtful whether even
an implacable futuriSt in music like
Leo 0rnStein or Arnold Schoenberg
derives genuine satisfaction from the
student cantataS and blatant oratorioS
Of the mule. Some cynics have de-
tected a resemblance between the
voice of the bagpipe and the mules
spontaneous lyricism, but this is
libel,
With patience one can detect
definite melody in the Scotch pibrochs
and StrathSpreyS, whereas mule music
like the world in the making is with
out form and void. As long as Spain
is not at war she can afford to dance
the fandGngo and play the mandolin.
When by the logic of events she is
swept out of her neutrality into bel
ligerency and has to haul cannon and
wagons, she will wish she had the
mule.-Philadelphia Ledger.
