backing of Washington's business

pepper Of and by the convalesing SOL
diers at the big army hospital. Its
object is to reflect the joys and sor-
lows and the ups and downs of army
life generally. Though nominally a
newspaper, news is of secondary i'm
portance. Cheerfulness and human
reconstruction come first.
= Now that the paper is ready for. the
public, a group OF society matrons and

HAVE YOU ASKED EN-?

A lot Of girls who have been earning good
wages during war times by filling positions
of men who became soldiers will shortly re-
tire to household duties. But in most cases
the young ladies will be very well satisfied
to exchange their jobs for man.-Albert
Lea Standard.
We doubt it! Most of the girls who have tax
en- up this work seriously not that kind of
girls. They might each exchange her job for "the'
man but not for "a" man. And you know perfect

would merely be exchange of salaried job
for an unsa1ared one. These girls must be tax

Don't get the notion too firmly fixed in your
mind that because the armstice is signed there
will be little or nothing for the Red Cross to do

is as much need for money and for work during
all the months Of reconstruction ahead as there
has been any time since the American Red Cross
became vitalized fact to Redwood County where
SO little was known of its working before. The
work may be very different work, but it is going
to be just necessary and will make quite as

MAKE 1T AN OLD TIME CHRISTMAS.

Make it an old-time Christmas, make it a day
of bliss,
With all of the old-time gladness make up for
the joys we miss;
Let us live for the ones about US, there is need
for love today,
Let us Danish the dread and doubling and make
it a time for play.
Let us show to the mothers near us some sign
on the Christmas morn
That we know it's for us they suffer- for us are
their sorrows borne;
Let gladden. their hearts by smiling, for this
is a troubled year
And many weary and mournful, Oh this is
a time for cheer.
Let us go to the homes this Christmas where
banners of service fly,
And gladden. their walls with laughter and love
that shall never de-
Let US thrill with the Christmas spirit let US
honor the service star,
Let us make it a day of gladness for the sake
of the boys affair."
Let us give as we've seldom given let think
as we've seldom thought
\ Let us soften with love and friendship the care
that the year has brought,
t the joy of the Christmas message ring out
in the old-time way,
us gladden. the lives about us, for there's
need of our cheer today.
