The Machinist Trade.
Barre Times.)

Nearly every daily newspaper one
picks up these days carries advertise
ments for men to work as machinists.
In fact, machinists seem to be more in
demand than any other class of work,
men; and, it may be added, they are
always much desired class even in
time of peace. Therefore, it would APP
pear to be wise for the young fellow
just staring out in life to select the
machinist trade if he has any natur-
al aptitude along that line. A ma
chinist of ability is able to get a iob
when men of other occupations are
compelled to walk the streets. Many
of the boys ought to be learning that
trade.

RED STAR WILL PROSECUTE ALL
 WHO NEGLECT

Owing to the practices followed by some of the team owners in not properly caring for their animals, vigorous campaign will be instituted against those who are negligent as to the welfare of the stock by those constituting the Red Star in Fair banks.
 It has been the custom lately for team owners to take out parties of berry pickers and make no provi- sion for the comfort or protection of the animals from the vicious at tacks of the large flies and other insects. It is common sight to see the horses return to town GOV. cred with blood from wounds caused by the bites of the insects. It has also been drawn to the attention of the Red Star members that in sey- eral cases no food has been given to the horses from the time of their leaving the stables until the return to town is made, and they have to suffer the bangs of hunger as well as the torture of the fly.
 The Red Star members nave been list for the past several days, and the number of those listed for negligence is now seventeen. It is probable that action will be taken against some of them within the next few days on the ground of cruelty to animals. While no com plaint has been made in the past, it is stated that the next offender will him on the cruelty charge.

DANIEL CILLLS
 DROWNED JULY
 10TH IN Y(JKOlV

On the arrival of the steamer Panama news was received concern ing the death of Dan Gillis by drown ing on the evening of July 20 short distance above Andreafsky by falling overheard from the Julia B.
 An eyewitness to the accident which resulted in Gillis falling into the river narrates it as follows: A barge was being lowed alongside of the steamer loaded with wood and it was necessary to truck the wood aboard the boat on trucks especially built for that purpose. In order to keep the wood from joggling off it was necessary to tie it on with a piece of rope. It was while tight ening up the rope, which broke, that he fell into the river, falling over the bow of the barge, passing un- der it and coming to the surface some distance astern. A life pre- server was thrown to him, but he was too far away to get hold of it. A boat was lowered as soon as pos sible, but by the time it arrived where he was last seen he had dis. appeared.
 Gillis was a man of about 26 years of age. He had lived in the Fair banks district for some time and was well liked by those who knew him. He was born at Cape Byiton, Nova Scotia. Detailed information concerning him cannot be learned as yet, although a message has been sent to his parents at the Nova Scotia town.

VICTORY BELLS
 WILL RING EACH
 DAY HEREAFTER

The Victory Bell movement was observed yesterday noon by all the churches in town, and at that hour every bell was rung for a short period of time, signifying that the request from the National Service commission was being complied with
 The Victory Bell movement is a far-reaching one and is sweeping all over the country. The first Victory Bell was rung on April 28, 1918, in the First Presbyterian Church, Lakeside, California, in the presence of over 800 members of the Women's Clubs of Southern California, since which time the movement has be- come general in every State in the Union.
 In Fairbanks the observance will be continued until the conclusion of the war. It is offered as a mental prayer for the safe-keeping of those at the front, and to whom the fol- lowing poem has been dedicated: Hark! Victory is on the wing; Ring, Bells, ring out to sea, And vibrate in the listening ear Our love, our prayer for victory. Ye men who stand where shot and
 shell
 Crush rock foundations at your feet, Above the cannon's mouthing greed, Our bells clang loud for victory. Ye mothers, wives and sweethearts
 see
 The aim our nations prayer must
 reach
 And gird our hearts to pierce the
 void
 As noon bells peal for victory.

FIRE DAMAGES
 THOMPSON HOME

An alarm of fire was turned into the department Sunday morning from the vicinity of Cushman and Eighth. On responding the blaze was found to be in the home of w. r. Thomp- son. Volumes of smoke was pouring skyward and the conhagration for time assumed serious aspects. The blaze was in the upper story of the building. caused by defective pipe.
 Willing hands set to work remov- ing the furniture and household arti- cles and nearly all of value on the lower floor was removed before it was too late. Some difficulty was experienced in subduing the flames owing to the smoke cOncealing the real location of the blaze. The dam. age created was considerable, and until the necessary repairs have been made to the house. the James resi-. dence will be the home of the Thompson family.

MACHINES ARE
 BADLY NEEDED
 BY RED CROSS

Nineteen hundred yards of materi- al was received yesterday by the Woman's. Bureau on the Tanana This must be made into refugee garments and shipped to Seattle be- fore the first of October. To do all this sewing, three more machines will be needed in the Red Cross rooms at the library.
 Will any woman who is willing to lend her machine for a week or two weeks or for a month telephone Mrs. Schooling at once stating just when her machine will be at the disposal of the Woman's Bureau?
 Six women have already volun- teered their services to cut out the material. Plans which will be an nounced later are under way where by every woman in Fairbanks and those branches not too far distant is expected to assist in completing the enormous allotment that has been sent the chapter. There will bc basting to be done, buttonholes to be. made, buttons to be sewed on, be- sides great amount of machine work. Through the columns of The Citizen every woman in the com munity is not only invited but urgeG to assist in this work which will tax the resources of the bureau to the utmost in order that it may be completed and shipped before navi- gation closes.
 The young ladies are invited to assist also. It is reported that there are many excellent needle women in the chapter who are still in their teens. They too are urged to come forward in answer to this emer- gency call.
 Dresses for little girls, house jack cts for women, and shirts for men are the garments to be made These must all be made from Red Cross patterns. The Belgian and French refugees have their own ideas as to proper garments and will wear no other. Every chapter in the union is engaged in this work at present so great is the need.

a rapid pace, and the structure is now near completion.
 The work of installing and repair ing the water mains has been fin ished and the water will be turned on tomorrow to test out the line. II is hoped that the new line will stand the pressure, as the two previous tests resulted in split pipes in many places, necessitating the work hay. ing to be done over again. A movement is on foot for the or ganization of a volunteer fire depart. ment. By this method it is ex. pected that good organization will be perfected before the winter sets in and any blaze that might come up will be dealt with in a capable manner.

The letter containing the check for the amount was received yesterday by Treasurer Frank Hall. Although bearing a date over two months old, the de- layed delivery is accounted for by the fact that letter was sent down river to MT. Hall while he was in the lower river country and had to be returned to Fairbanks for deliv- cry. The contents of the letter are as follows:

INCREASE FOR

The second week of the orphan fund for August is starting off well. Yesterday a balance was paid on the years support for an orphan, which brought the fund up into the two-fgure section. The fund for this month is assured of large returns from some of the outstanding dis tricts, which, combined with the amounts pledged, will make a fine total for the month of August.
 While it is impossible to forecast any month in this particular fund, should all pledges be kept the re- turns will amount to good figure. which is the main thing. At present the fathers of the more fortunate children overseas are making an he roic effort to establish democracy, and il is only meet that the chil- dren of those who have sacrificed themselves for the same cause should be provided for.

 The news of the successful drilling was received by the regents with pleasure, as a great deal depended upon the location Of the well within the building to be erected. The spot chosen was an ideal one for the building and should the selection of a new one have been made neces- sary by the failure to find water, 1t is doubtful if as good one could be had.
