GIFTS OTHER
Than MONEY

Large as these gifts of money are,
American generosity has expressed it
self in many other ways that are e.
qually impressive. The greatest of
these is, of course, the incalculable a.
mount of time and labor that is being
freely given by the American women
who work at home and in chapter work
rooms on surgical dressings, knit
goods, hospital garments and comfort
kits. An estimate of the value of this
work, during the next II months, on
projects already under way, puts the
total at $36,400,000. At National
Headquarters, at the various division
headquarters and at chapters turnout
the country men and women of unusual
ability and exceptional training are
devoting part or all of their time to
the Red Cross. Property owners all
over the United States have given
houses and offices free or at reduced
rental fer the use of chapters.
Notable special gifts, among many
others that might be mentioned, are
the following:
A credit of 100000 given by the
Ford Motor Company, to be used for
parts.
A credit of S25O,OOO for telegraph
and cable service, given by the West
ern Union Telegraph Co.
Cigarettes to the number of 1,500,-
900, twenty thousand packages of
smoking tobacco and 10000 cuts of
chewing tobacco, given by the Liggett
and Myers Tobacco Company for ship
ment to France.
100000 cigarettes given by the P.
Lorillard Company.
A motor kitchen completely equip
ped for service in France, given by
Louis Sherry, New York.
The buildings and grounds of the
Medico-Chirurgical Hospital in Phila-
delphia, which had been condemned
by the city in the course of street con-
struction, put at the disposal of the
Red Cross, rent free, by the City of
Philadelphia.
Twenty thousand feet Of warehouse
space, valuable docking and terminal
facilities and expert service, at the
Bush Terminal, Brooklin, New York,
given by Irving T. Bush.

Eight YEARS.
TERNG|VEN
ASLACkER
Man, Formerly of Milwaukee Sentinel,
Is Sent to Leavenworth as
Conscientious Director.

A dispatch from Rockford, Ill,
says:
H. Austin Simons, a former Mil
waukee and Chicago newspaper man,
has been sentenced to hard labor for
eight years in the federal prison at
Leavensworth, Kan, following his
conviction by a general courtmartial
at Camp Grant, on charges of deser-
ton, using obscene language to an
officer, and INSTRUMENTATION. Simons
is said to have been a disciple of En-
ma Goldman. The sentence is the sew
crest that has been imposed on a
deserter or conscientious obiector'
at Camp Grant"
Simons is the man who wrote the
articles in the Milwaukee Sentinel a
little over year ago on which the
Stevens Point mayor, DR.. F. A. Wal
tiers, based his libel suit against the
| Sentinel. He was at that time state
editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel. Elk
amined by A. L. Smongeski under the
discovery statute, he referred to 49,
| articles as little gems of my own. "
The fact that he was in prison as a
| Stacker was withheld at Stevens Point
as it was rot a pertinent factor in the
case and it was thought it might pos
sibly prejudice the jury.

YOUR
CHILDRENS
WELFARE

What would you think of the father
and mother who knowingly sent their
child with a sore throat to school and
a few days later the child came down
with bad case of diphtheria? And
how much harder would you think, if
you knew that the infected child had,
innocently so far as it was concerned,
exposed your own little boy or girl
to this dread disease? No. turn the
case around and get the other view
point. Suppose you were the parent
that had permitted your child to infect
your neighbours child? How would
you feel about it? No need to tell
how your neighbors would feel to-
wards you, because you know. Why
not then, be as careful and as consid-
crate of the health of your neighbours
children as you would ask that they be
in protecting the health and safety of
yours?

DALHART CONCERT AT RIALro.

D.ALbIAhI CONCEhI Al HIAlIO.
Music lovers who availed
themselves of the opportunity to at
tend the concert by Vernon Dalhart
at the Rialto Theatre Wednesday
evening will not forget the pleasure.
From the singing of THE Star
Spangled Banner"his listeners were
sure of treat. When Mr.. Reynolds
announced that he would sing the
next number in unison with a Re-
Creation of his own voice on the
New Edison which stood upon the
platform, and when the first note
OF the song came to our ears we
waited with bated breath. Dalhart's
voice and the voice from the mahog
any cabinet beside him came to us
undistinguishably blended-the two
voices so completely one that no
ear could detect their duality.
Suddenly we realized that Mr..
Dalharts lips had ceased to move,
tho his voice went gloriously on!
He sang again and again stopped.
Only by watching his lips could one
tell whether the voice came to us
from the throat or from the magic
box at his side. His voice in both
INsSrJ -uO uOuDL VI IudJ. HIS VOICE
was there whether he was silent or
aot, recreated by some magic pow
er for our bewilderment.
Piano selections followed. Violin
solo, also an orchestral number.
DarkeHing the room we were
listening to judge by ear alone if
1t was voice or Recreation, What
we thought was his own voice was
found to come from the cabinet,
Recreation is a reality A won
derful new art presented to the
world by the greatest of living in
Yentors-Thomas A. Edison. The
recital was arranged by Pitcher
Jewelry Company.

WHOSE WAR Is THIS?

Don't get the idea that it is not
up to you to buy Liberty Bonds.
Don't get the impression that you
have done your part il you have
subscribed to any or all of the
preceding loans. There are very
few who would have you believe
that this is rich mans war" Such
people are on the kaiser's payroll
or ought to be.
This is your war in every sense
OF the word. Men in olive drab and
steel helmets are fighting your bat
ties, and don't you forget it,
They are fighting your war in
Europe, in order that it may not
have to be fought on this side Of
the water. The kaiser hopes to de-
feat the Allies, seize England's ma
Wy and bring war to American soil.
He did hope SO before Americans
men and American Liberty Loan
money and manned seamen started
him back toward Berlin.
Don't forget that 1t takes more
men and more money, great deal
more, to keep him travelling. This
wars not over yet, it's your war.

will fill every need for years, buy

infantry and aviators made emphat-
ic replies today to the German chal-
lenge all along the newly estab-

certain points with vigor and threw
over quantities of gas, largely of
the mustard variety, while air
planes endeavored to force their
way thru aerial defenses, but evil
dence was wholly lacking that the
Germans contemplated any attempt
to regain the territory they lost.
