STRENGTHENS THE BONDS


Mr.. J. G.. Rorick is in receipt of
a copy of "The Leader" a daily pa
per published at Regina, Saskatche-
wan. Canada, containing extracts
from an address to the American
Club of that city by Thomas H. Nc
Oonica of -Luseland, Saskatchewan;
which is highly praised by "'The
Leader" as strengthening the bonds
which unite the people of Canada and
the United States. Mr.. McConica
was formerly "A colleague of Mr..
Rorick's in the Ohio State Senate.
Mr.. McConica gloried in the fact
that the Union Jack and the Stars
and Stripes we're fly side by side
on the battle fronts of Europe in the
cause of human freedom and referr-
ed to the words of Thomas jefferson
nearly one hundred years ago, when
in writing to Pres dent Monroe he
said, speaking Of the relations of
England and the United States;
"Noth'ng could tend more to knit
our affections than to be fight ng
once more side by side in the same
great cause Of human freedom.
He quoted also from Mr.. Chamber
lain the great English secretary who
in an address 20 the working men Of
Birmingham in 1898 sa d: "Wal
would be most deplorable, but ever
war might not be too great a price
to pay If as its result, we should fine
in the same great and noble cause
the Stars and Stripes and the Unior
Jack floating over an Anglo Saxor
Alliance"
Tonight" said Mr. McConica
'to you and to me It is given to wit
ness the realization which was thC
dream Of the father Of democrac!
and the hope of the great Tory sec
retary."

very likely to be made as a result of
the Peace Conference which will be
held not later that January 1919.
1t ind Gates reunited and re-estab-

STOLEN from its people in 1772. 1t

FINANCING PEACE is NEXT

War was financed by the first four
Liberty Loans, and we'll financed.
The Fifth Liberty Loan will be
applied to the financing of peace.
Uncle Sam has a big job on his
hands to prepare for and handle the
peace problems which confront h m.
They are quite as important now as
were the war puzzles of a few short
months ago.
Not only his own questions. but
those of the world at large must be
considered. For Uncle Sam is des-
tined to cut considerable larger fig
ure n world affairs in future than she
has done in the past. This is in
evitable whether he would wish it or
not.
The adm 'nistration has already an
nounced that the merchant marine
program IS to be carried out along
the original plans Sh p building is
10 continue until the government W Il
have a feet equal to any in the
world. This means a big outlay.
Such fleet must be engaged once
it is built. This means that en-
couragement must be given Ameri.
can Industrial interests to reach ou'
and supply the world needs. Il
may mean that government aid
financ' ally, may be necessary.
Almost of a certainty it will NEAR
additional loans to those countries
of Europe that fell victim to th'
Huns devastating hand and mus
now be to a large degree rebuilt
These are moral obligations which
we cannot escape.
And they will force Uncle San
into a position of world prominence
never before approached. Virtual!
|. he will be pace-maker for the world
Then there will be the setting o
things Alright in the European ma
tional household. 1t may be severa
years before quietude is restored an
The nations are reorganized upon
bas of safety and sanity. Amer
can troops may have to remain un
: til this is accomplished. All O
which will be expensive.
1t all means increased expenditur
es. And the Fifth Liberty Loa
may not be the last after all.

thor ties, Is said to have interferred
seriously with the work of stamping
out the epidemic and may, it is be-
lieved, have increased the influenza
death toll.
"The cause of the inefficiency not
ed" says the State Department of
Health, 'lies in the multipl city of
independent health districts in Ohio.
Each of the 80 cites, 700 villages
and nearly 1,400 townships has its
own health officer, and none of these
local departments is subject to ade-
quate supervision by the state. The
districts, except in some of the cites
are too small to support adequate
health departments The remedy
is to group these small districts in
to fewer larger districts, capable of
maintaining adequate public health
service, and to make health officia S
in these districts subject to state su-
pervis;on.
"The smallpox epidemic last W n
ter illustrated the inability of Ohio
to meet a health emergency, just as
Influenza has done tn S fall. Any
other ep dem C is kelly to cause sim
liar havoc, so long as our present
system of organization continues.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS MEM
BERSHIP DRIVE NOW o,

The annual Christmas drive for mem
bership in the Red Cross is now on il
the United States. This is competitive
between the various chapters Can We
not make supreme effort and put the
Custer County Chapter at the head oi
the list? Will not every man, woman
and child become : member? Renewal
memberships count the same as new
memberships.
While the war is apparently drawing
to close it does not mean that the ac.
tiVities of the Red Cross will decrease
on the contrary il means that its activi-
ties will increase. should the war end
and today vast territory will be Iiber-
ated from the bondage of the huns.
This territory has been woefully de-.
yastated, its inhabitants cruelty, wan.
tonly and shamefuny outraged, their
property taken from them and they left
destitute, wounded and starving, and
from the cruel, strocious and unspeak-
able crimes perpetrated upon and
against them are broken in mind and
body.
1t is the Red Cross that will bind up
their wounds, relieve their suffering
build up and restore to normal as nearly
as possible their broken minds and
bodies and fit them once more that they
may in turn build up and make produc-
tive their one-time fertile fields and
make for themselves homes in which
peace and comfort will once more be
their portion.
Cannot we who have never felt the
paralyzing and consuming breath of
war; we whose homes and fresides are
safe from the ambitions of the Prussian
Madman and his cohorts; we whose
homes haye not been devastated and de.
stroyed; we whose children and babies
have not been manned, tortured and
murdered; we whose women have not
been outraged and driven into bondage
worse then slavery; cannot every man,
woman and child join the Red Cross or
renew our membership
Besides the work above outlined the
Red Cross will have to furnish the same
supplies to our boys across the water for
many months after the war is over.
We must not lessen our activities until
the boys have completely finished their
job. The destitute peoples of France
and Belgium, the boys on the battlefield
and in the camps and the Red Cross
workers appeal to us to keep up the good
work we have been doing.
Let's every body join or renew.

SHIPMENT OF
CHRISTMAS PARCELS.

Many inouif'es have cached National
Headquarters as to whether Christmas
Parcel could be sent to Americans, and
others, serving in the Red Cross, Y. M.
c. A., Knights Of Columbus, and other
similar organizations, operating in con-
nection with the military forces of the
u. S. and the Allies, and individuals
serving in the Armies of the Allies.
Under the Postoflice regulations, it was
impossible TO send any parcel except
when written permission approved by a
commanding officer has been received
from abroad. Realizing the inequality
of this situation, the War Trade Board
has worked out a plan by which it is
possible to make sh. pments to the above
classes Of individuals. The War Trade
Board has requested the Red Cross to
cooperate in carrying out this plan.
The plan as outlined by the War Trade
Board, is in general the same as the plan
under which We are now sending Christ.
mas Parcels TO soldiers in the American
Expeditonary Forces. The essential
detail of the plan are as follows:
Shipments of Christmas Parcels to
(a) individuals serving in the Red
Cross, Y. M. G. A., The knights OF
Columbus, the Salvation Army or other
similar organizations operating in con-
nection with the military forces of the
United States or the Allies in Europe or
in connection with the Allied or Ex-
peditionary Forces elsewhere, and ship
ments to
(b) individuals serving in the Armies
of the Allies in Europe or in any of the
Allied Expedtionary Forces elsewhere
may be made under special license
RAC-43 only by the nearest living rela-
tive in the United States, of the proaos-
ed recipient. If the sender is not rela.
tive of the proposed recipient, he is not
permitted to make shipment under
these Special Christmas Regulations.
Christmas parcels so shipped must con-
form to the regulations as to size and
contents to those shipped to men in the
Expedilionary Forces, and in addition
the sender thereof must file statement
with the nearest station of the Red
Cross,

OBITUARY OF GRANDMA CLARK

On Wednesday Of last week, Novem.
Der 9th, Grandma Clark, of Pringle, pass.
ed away after an illness of but few
hours. She was surrounded by rela-
tlves and friends. Had she lived few
more months she would have rounded
out SO long and beautiful years to those
who knew and loved her. She was Miss
Cordelia La Cournt and was born in
Toronto, Canada, August 5, 1880. She
was married in lS47 to Perry Clark. To
this union was born eight children, one
son and three daughters of whom sur

Congregational Church in 1877 and has
lived life in the Christian Faith since.
She came to Mystic in 1903, and later on
in 1912 came to Pringle and has since
made her home with her daughter, Mrs.
II. Mcclellan. Rev. Harper conducted
the funeral Thursday from the Mcclellan
home and spoke fittingy of the long
and beautiful years this mother bad
been leaned to the loved ones and drew
lessons from her life Of kindness Mrs.
Jack Thomas and Mrs Stewart sang sew
eral Duets, and Mrs. Stewart sang solo.
The singing was very beautiful and
comforting. Grandma Clark lived a
beautiful life and her passing was in
keeping with the life. She was consc.
Gus to the last moment and took leave
of her loved ones with bright smile
which fingered after she was gone
home

CUSTER CELEBRATES
In Common With All Black Hills Towns
Custer Pulled OF Big Celebra-
tion Monday Night.

Custer in common with all Black
Hills towns pulled off big celebration
Monday night Through the day the
streets and alleys were secured for
boxes, crates and anything that would
make fire, and it was piled up in the
square in front and west of the court
house. Long before the hour set which
was 7;30, the guns and Gre crackers
were going as well as the Church bells,
but at seven the streets were full of peo-
pie from the town and community
about And at seven the fire was light
ed and the celebration was on. The
Custer band, or that part of it which
was not gone to war, was there and did
themselves proud. Veteran Stone was
there with his flag, WILDER Todd was
there with a sawed off Shotgun, the kind
that has made the "Yanks" famous Gn-
famous with the GERMANY and, well, al
most every body who could be there were
present to help in the biggest event of
our lives. AT 7:30 the Siren whistle was
turned on and skilfulIy manipulated by
Miss Flora Jewell dispensed about all
the sounds that had not yet been dis
covered and some people thought there
were some sounds given out that had
not been, until that night, in existence.
Finally Mr.. Kneeland after short
speech introduced in turn Mr.. w. S.
Harper, Mr.. w. F. Hanley and in clos
ing Mr.. Percy Helm. All including the
chairman made happy talks rejoicing in
the victory and in the successful con-
clusion of the great war, and looking
forward to the work of peace and the
coming home of the boys. During the
celebration Frank Todd oyer on Big
Rock fred of with dynamite cartridges
the Presidential Salute of 2l guns. Al
together it was big time and the only
thing that promises to surpass it is the
one which all declare will be pulled off
when the boys come home.

RED GROSS NOTES.

The Camp Fire Girls ably assisted BY
Mrs. Loranger and the Misses Flora
jewell and Doris Hanley, have pieced
and made up seven baby quilts to be
sent with the foreign relief garments.
The cartons have arrived. They came
very late as they must be in the post
Office by Nov. 20. 1t would be better to
get them off before that date if possible.
In spite of many rumors they cannot be
sent without labels received from over
seas and they cannot weigh more than
three pounds piece.
More clothes for the Belgians have
come in and been shipped. 1t was very
worth while sending off such fine loi
Of material. 1t is expected to send an
other box soon.
With the closing of the war the gauze
work has ceased but this is the only
phase of the work for which there is no
call. There is urgent need for relief
work
