 SCRIBERS OF JACKSON
 COUNTY RED CROSS

In last weeks issue of the lnde- pendent, we mentioned the confus- ion and delay of magazines because of wrong addresses, and we neg lected to call your attention to another magazine item of equal inn portance. In the Christmas member ship drive, a very great many of our Subscribers renewed their subscrip- tions, making it "from Xmas to Xmas" Throughout the country, others did the same. For time there was constant question from new subscribers of "When would the mag azine come?" and now we have it.
 We are getting too many. Natural ly, with the thousands of new ones and in the anxiety of the Red Cross to see that every person entitled to a magazine should get one, and with
Newport daily independent., 1918-03-13

Will you do the Red Cross a simple favor and so help save money for the country? In the back of every magazine is printed slip. Please tear it out and send 1t in where requested, stating how many magazines you wish discontinued. Most families want but one but have subscribed for every member of the family.

PUSH
(Contributed.)

We frequently see at the entrance of building the word push" on the door. It means if you want to enter you must push the door open, You are not to ring a bell and wait for some one to come and let you in. You must push your way in. That IS the word which is on the door of the house of success. If you would have success in anything you must push your way to it. Look at the success full business man. We all admire him. He is of importance in the world. He has something to do and he does it. If things get in his way he pushes them out; if the market is dull and his business comes to a standstill he pushes it along. He doesn't wait for luck to come along and give him a lift. She doesn't us- ually give lifts to those who stand back waiting for her. She helps those who help themselves.
 Boys if you have hard lesson to learn, don't sit back and wait for some one to come along and help you, if you do you'll find the next one just as hard, but push your way through it. Every push you give makes you stronger to push again, If you want to occupy an honorable place in the world you must push your way to it. Then you can look back over your life with feeling of satisfaction.

 Will Give Advice.

New York.-Experts in the booking and routing of circuses will come to the aid of the government in it's prob lem of transportation for the country, it was learned here, and the efficient methods of the show business will be applied directly to the work of nov ing supplies for the United States.
 Nor will the circus methods to be placed on the military roster be con- fined to the booking of transporta- ton. The kitchen system of the big tops will also be transferred to the army cantonments, and men who have long travelled with the circuses and es- tablished the kitchens of the outdoor organizations will shortly be enlist ed into the service of the country for the purpose of standardizing the kitch- ems at the various army cantonments.

that it was quite what they had eX-

more suitable than this union, which
allied the Romanohs with the only
child of a woman who was cOnsid-

of the vast Russian empire.
The marriage was solemnized with
great pomp in the private chapel of
the Anitchkoff palace, the residence
of the Dowager Empress Marie, the
grandmother of the bride, TO whom
presents valued at 100000 rubles
were offered by her future husband
and his parents. The young couple
settled in the Youssoupoff palace,
and were beginning to give splendid
entertainments when the war broke
out. and brought about all the ter
rible events which followed upon il.
When Rasputin was killed by
Prince YOussoupoff, people abroad
said that he had done so because the
vagrant impostor. who had wormed
himself into the imperial favor, had
insulted his wife, the Princess Irene.
