 AThe good name of the Red Cross
 is i'm our hands. With that in-
 spiration let us go from here into
 the trenches with renewed enthus-
 iasm. MORRIS BUSH,
 "Acting Field Marshall"
 WARDE ADDRESS
 The regular luncheon of the allied armies at the Tutwiler yesterday was featured by a scholarly address from Frederick Warde. the celebrated actor. Mir Warde declared at the outset that he was amazed at Birminghams growth and future possibilities, During my long and somewhat varied career it has been my good fortune to travel over the face of the earth and in that time I have never seen any such organization as that of our glorious and magnificent Red Cross''
 The distinguished speaker recounted his early visits to the city declaring that he had been here when the accommoda- tions were not good for either man nor beast. 'I have played ct your old o Brien opera house and I knew Frank P. O O'Brien, who was afterwards your mayor. The wonderful development that has taken place here since those days s a marvel to my eyes. I feel like using the words of a character I used to play. It Is q pleasure to grow old and decay f one can see such beautiful develop ment going on around him. He spoke of the letters he had received from his grandson in France and stated that each one paid glowing tribute to the work Of the Red Cross.
 Another feature of the meeting yester- day was the citation of 14 male workers by Field Marshal Bush, who summoned them before the general staff and as a reward for their gallantry in action per mitted them to review the Rainbow di- vision for one minute.
 The mind reading entertainment of Mir Prescott and Miss Hope Eden of the Bijou provoked continual laughter and applause. During their rounds they found several .'blanks" among the audience, one of who was a prominent bachelor that sat next to Miss Prescott during the meeting This is not mind reading at all,' said Morris Bush, this young lady has been talking to our friend all during the luncheon and ma 1e her deductions from his line of cor aetion.'

CAMPAIGN ORDERS

FIelQ MarSnal BuSn mas warned al workers against any methods tha smack of coercion in obtaining mem oerships. He issued the following or der to the allied armies yesterday:
 ssFhis campaign is essentially one of good win.
 ssTke greatest asset of the Red Cross is the love which the people have for it---.fove which they have never failed to express in gener- ous donations.
 ssThe executive head of the American Red Cross has expressed the desire that this Christmas roll call be voluntary on the part of the people, and that no methods which smack of coercion DC used by the workers.
 sIt Is our privilege to present the opportunity to the people of Jefferson county to enroll under the banner of the Red Cross.
 '.When we do that enthusiasticaI- Iy and coEvincingly, we have done all we can. Impatience orr over solicitations will simply react on the Red Cross and impair the high purpose of the campaign, which is to unite the people of the United States in the support of the noblest cause the world knows today--the relief of suffering humanity.
 "Give everyone the opportunity to wear the button---teII them what 1t means and what that dollar will do.

Mis-. Graham. Announcement.

Miss Evelyn Graham, whose birth
day is the same as that of North Car
olina's Independence Day, was honor
guest at Fassifern, Hendersonville,
Monday afternoon of last week at a
party given by Mrs. McBee and Miss
Shipp of that school. The occasion
was also used to announce the en-
gagement of Miss Graham to DR..
Sterling Hill Brickell, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. R. B. Brickell.
The spacious veranda, the scene of
the party, was transformed into the
appearance of a beautiful flower gar
den of red roses and mountain laurel,
which made a very effective picture.
A huge birthday cake iced with
Fassifern school colors adorned the
center of the table on the porch and
surrounding it was a bank of roses.
The lighted candles on the cake told
of the years of work and enjoyment.
The bride-elect is the youngest
daughter of Major VIM. A. Graham,
State commissioner of agriculture.
She spent her childhood at Forest
Home in Lincoln county. Since her
Cd44y S114IIOOu liz HAS DSSu a HlS11
Der of the Fassifern household, first
as student and at present as Mrs. Nc
Bees assistant in the management of
the household. Having been associ-
ated with Fassifern since its earliest
days, she is known and beloved by
every student who has entered it's
doors.
The bride-elect, charming in her
gown of pink and white vol, stood
under garlands of laurel. On either
side stood Miss Shipp and Mrs. Nc
Bee, the latter being the first to toast
the honOred guest, followed by Miss
Shlpp. Miss Graham has been closely
associated with Miss Shipp and Mrs.
McBee for nine years in her work at
Fassifern and their toasts were genu-
inc expressions of her many admir-
able qualities as they had been init
mately learned under this close asso-
citation. Miss Graham responded ap-
propriately and feelingly. After sew
eraI toasts from the student body an
ice course was served, followed by a
linen shower from the students.
In her nine years with Fassifern
Miss Graham has made many friends
and during her stay in Hendersonville
she has through beauty of character
and sweetness of disposition endear.
ed herself not only to the Fassifern
faculty and student body but to many
OF the residents of this community.
DR.. Brickell comes of a distinguish,
ed family of Halifax county. He has
been in the medical corps of the army
for the past two years. He spent sew.
eral months on the Mexican border
and expects to sail for France soon.
No date has been set for the mar,
riage.

 BASKETS
CFrom Tuesdays Daily)

Those in charge of the Christmas fund for the needy spent more than busy day yesterday. Through the good work of Scoutmaster Harvey, Mrs. Levy, the Chamber of Commerce, school teachers and others, sufficient funds were raised with which to re- member each and every family re- quiring help this year. Over fifty boxes were planned for and through the generous help of the merchants of Prescott. Christmas cheer will be felt in many a home which otherwise would have not known the Christmas spirit at least this year. In most in stances this had been brought about principally because of the flu or other forms of sickness. Toys and Christmas stockings filled with candy, nuts and popcorn were made for each of the kiddies, this being at tended to by the toy committee, made up principally of the teachers. The baskets will be completed and sent out today.

STRANGE DEATH COMES ID FWlIFOO FlIFO
 MINERS
USED AN OLD CYANIDE TANK IN WHICH TO BATHE, AND WERE POI SONED; ONE WAS FROM YAVAPAI.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

From Bingham, Utah, comes news of the death in strange manner of Dan Atkinson, a miner-millman who lett this section about one year ago. He and two other miners concluded to take a bath in an old 24-foot cy- anide tank, situated at a mine near where they were working, when Ac- kinson and his companion met in stant death after entering the water and diving under. The third member of the party escaped by sheer good luck, being late in disrobing while unfastening a knotted shoe string. When the two men stepped into the tank there was about four feet of water that had been heated by a steam pipe connected to a boiler in the old mill, and they jocularly stated that regular patrons would be charg- ed 2 cents a dip. while the rate for tranSients was 5 cents.
 The death of the two miners IS at tributed to them swallowing cyanic acid, which is the main content used in this metbod of treating certain ores. The tank had been abandoned for several years, and before water had been turned in was swept dry and afterwards washed out An old mill man of that section stated that bathing in any tank that ever con- tained a cyanide solution should be avoided several cases being recalled to him where fatal results followed such baths. Had he known the in tentions of the young men they would have been disuaded from the danger MT. Ackinson and compan- ion were discharged from the army at Salt Lake only ten days before and had returned to the mining camp to accept their old situations.
