tor in work for the Winslow
Chapter, made a trip to Hol-
brook Wednesday to impart in
formation to the members of the
branch in that city. Later she
expects to visit the several
branches in the south part of the
county. Mrs. Goldman has made
a close study of the requirements
of the Red Cross Society, and is
thoroughly informed to give in
structions how all the work should
be done.
All who have Red Cross knit
ting nearly completed are urged
to hurry it along as we are try
ing to make shipment of knitted
articles next week. Any one hav-
ing Red Cross knitting needles
that are not in use, is urged to
return them to the workroom so
that they may be used by some
one else.
We need more workers. Will
you help us few hours a week?
Our workroom is always warm
and comfortable, so none need
hesitate to come on the coldest
days. The workroom is open
from 2:30 p. m. to 5 p. m. each
day but Saturday.
A movement in which every
man, woman and child in America
can do their "bit," either in a
large way or small, all helping
to the general end, the Red Cross.
an organization founded on the
noblest principles, has fallen
under the slanderous propaganda
to discredit it's system of war
relief. From time to time the
national organization finds it ne
cessary to send out statements,
refuting some of the reports,
which none but the easily credu-
lOus, of course, give any heed to.
To All Chapters in the Pacific
Division:
The war is being carried to
our own doors by the spreading
of malicious falsehoods about the
Red Cross. There is a we'll known
type that delights in passing out
these calumnies and in conse-
quence many credulous people
are deferred from heartily sup
porting Red Cross work.
Let me answer some of these
faIsehoods very briefly. but first
let me state that we welcome
constructive criticism and we in
vite questions from loyal people
who are interested in knowing
the facts.
The Red Cross has not, does
not, and will not sell any articles
to the soldiers.
Red Cross supplies are not de-
Iivered to army officials and then
sold by them to the soldiers.
The Red Cross has field direc-
tors at each army camp to dis
tribute articles free of charge to
the men who need them.
Not a penny of the $100, 000.-
900 contributed during the recent
war fund drive has been spent
for tobacco. Not penny, so far,
of the funds contributed to the
division office has been spent for
tobacco.
At the request of the United
States government the war coun-
Gil contributed $1OO, 900 for medi-
cal research in France. A medi-
cal officer of the United States
army has direct control of the
spending of this fund and the
Red Cross has no right or author
ity to determinine how this
money shall be spent.
Yours very truly,
JOHN L. CLYMER,
Director Bureau of Development.

A HOT TINE IN A NEW TOWN
Hockerville News

There was something doing in
Hockerville at an unusually early
hour Monday morning.
A railroad was built to the city
from the state line, across the Sho-
walter land, known as the Erie adj
iition and containing about 10 acres.
Though rain poured down, thunder
rolled, lightning flashed, track laying
went forward with a rush.
J. C. Vansickle, agent for the Erie
addition, made an effort to stop the
work, and though he did his best, he
was only one man against lou men
who were in no huinor to parley mat
sers with him, his protests availed
naught.
Litigation and wrangling over the
railroad crossing this land has held
up the progress of railroad construc-
ton for some weeks. The railroad
company went into the federal court
It is said, and was granted permission
through condemnation proceedings, TO
cross the tract, recompense to the
owners being fixed at $50 per acre
for service rights. On the other hand
The owners had, in the local court
obtained an injunction against the
railroad company enjoining them
from proceeding with the work. 1
No matter what legal proceed-ag
NAV be invoked hereafter, cars will
be operating between Joplin ana
Hockerville by the end of this week.
Mr.. vansickle's temper was in ac-
cord with the weather. He stortned
and fumed and remained on the mr.
ing line" until self preservation Is
said, caused him to retire.
There is nothing dead about H9cK-
erville. Every one admits it is ne
livliest one in the bunch.
