+ Red Cross Will Make 1Q1 Comfort RaOa

1S1 Comfort Bags ..:
 More insistent than ever is the call for workers in the Red Cross. This week has been busy one in the local work rooms but the task which looms big just now is that of preparing 181 comfort bags for the boys leaving the 25th of this month. A special call IS being made by Mrs. w. H. Porter for this immediate work.
 Whether you're member of the Red Cross or not, come Friday and help with the task.
 Don't you want to know what the boys think of these bags:
 One soldier, home not long ago from Camp Funston, said the soldiers liked them best of all the things sent them and said that at Christmas time they would have found nothing more ac- ceptable than the refilling of their old ones for quite naturally, the things are used up or misplaced.
 Some may have thought there were more important items. for soldiers about to fight, but this testimony along with the thanks which the boys have poured into the ladies of this chapter, show the usefulness of these bags.
 One hundred and eighty-one means work for all interested and other work on Friday will be laid aside that this task may be fulfilled.
 M. l. Powers has most interesting news to the effect that night class will be formed in order that the men may help with work incident to the Red Cross. He has no doubt that in a short time a pleasant rivalry will be evident, for any number of men are importuning him to get the work fairly started. There is plenty for all and while the sewing machines may not be in use on these evenings, the men will show what they can accom- plish in other lines of Red Cross activity.
 The committee on Belgium and French clothing is most anxious that these articles taken out for home work be returned to the Red Cross work room, as some checking up is necessary. 7.h

ton rifles, from the Philippines. He
was interested in the history of the
old weapon.
Here in 1900.
Colonel Roosevelt was here in 1900,
at the close of strenuous campaign,
when Mckinley and Roosevelt" were
words which reverberated throughout
the land. Roosevelt's vigorous per-
sonality impressed Omahan's on that
occasion.
The many-sided Roosevelt" as he
has been referred to, expressed lik-
ing for the west as long ago as 1885
when he acquired ranch lands in
South Dakota. One of the legends
OF Medora, S. D., relates to an oc-
casion IS years ago when the former
president, then comparatively young
man, "came to town" and was looked
upon as tenderfoot . The old guard
of the hills brought out a broncho
known as "White-faced Kid" and
stood around while Roosevelt cult
waited an acquaintance with the
cayuse. The critter had thrown
"Hellroaring Bill Jones" more than
once and expectations were that
Roosevelt would be picked up in
pieces. The colonel, however, nego-
tiated the animal and after that, he
was "ace high" with the hillsmen.
That Boxing Incident.
Omaha remembers when Colonel
Roosevelt introduced boxing at the
White House and suffered disclora-
ton of an eye when an opponent
landed on his optic, and Omaha re-
members that he advocated national
preparedness for this country at the
beginning of the European war.
The west has read that Roosevelt
is: "a fine, brave, hearty, honest,
manly fellow, trained in many schools
of life, absolutely democratic, ab-
solutely American, ambitious with a
high ambition and having a singular
gift for inspiring personal liking or
disliking, as the case may be. There
is nothing of the dummy or wax fig
ure about him"
The man who popularized the
strenuous life has requested that his
visit to Omaha this week shall be
quiet" That is his usual request,
because it may be that when the train
arrives he will be absorbed in book
or writing an article and may not be
in the mood to be disturbed. But as a
rule when the committee explains to
him that Omaha insists in extending
the strong hand of western hospital
ity, he will smile remember that
SMILEY and will acquiesce in the ar
rangements.
He may go up in one of the bal
looms at Fort Omaha. He has faced
an angry rhinoceros and an enraged
lion in Africa and there is no tell
ing what T. R. is going to do next.
