orial to our soldier boys or not, but
the fact remains that the movement
has been started and it was up to the
West Side Aid Society to start it.
At meeting of the society held
last Friday evening the project was
launched The ball was started roll
ing oy Jerome c. Blair, the silver
tongued orator of the West Side in
one of those Star Spangled Banner,
three cheers for Old Glory, down with
autocracy speeches, for which he is
becoming famous in which he asked
that the society take the first step
for the erection of suitable monu-
ment in memory of those patriotic
sons of Hamilton who fell on the bat
tie fields in foreign lands in the war
for humanity; and asks the co-opera-
tion of every organization in the city
in this project. The speech of Mr.

Blair was of such stirring nature as
to bring the tears from the eyes and
the money from the pockets of those
present to such extent that at the fin
ish $45 was signed for by the members
and $25 was voted from the treasury
Of the society, total of $40, to start
the movement which will no doubt be
successfully carried out.
The election of officers also took
place at this meeting and resulted as
follows: President, l. N. Phipps; vice
president, John Reiff; recording sec
retary, w. Harry Spears; financial
secretary, John Nichols; sentinel,
Albert Meyers; trustee for three years

Red Cross
Christmas Roll Call Posters
Are Here.

Posters for display in Hamilton in
connection with the Red Cross Christ
mas Roll Call for members, Dec, 16-
%, have been received from Red Cross
Headquarters.
Jessie Wilcox Smith, Harrison Fish
er, Ray Greenleaf, Edwin Blashfield
and Foringer are the artists contrib
utjng their work to the Red Cross
Christmas Roll Call
Jessie Wilcox Smith presents fine
study of child life in her poster-a
window scene, which, it is hoped, will
be reproduced in every home in the
country. A charming little boy is fix
ing Red Cross service flag in his win
dow indicating that the members OF
his family are enrolled 100 per cent
in the Red Cross.
1t required Edwin Blashfeld eight
months to complete the painting from
which one of the posters has been
made. This is symbolical affair.
The original is to be hung in the Red
Cross memorial building in Washing
ton.
The Christmas spirit is dominant in
the poster painted by Ray Greenleaf.
His poster has more text than the
others, but the pictorial effect is not
in the least obscure. Against a blue
are shown home and evergreen trees
heavily mantled with snow. The
smoke from the chimney suggests a
CHEEKY interior, while in the window
may be seen the Red Cross Service
flag. A large red cross and the letter
ing, Answer the Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call. All you need is heart
and a dollar, drive home the appeal.

The 100000 mark is not the limit Of the
naval power which the United States is pre-

of the Navy announces that he is now
engaged in recruiting an additional 100000

Since 1914 the British navy has been ex-

a very large proportion of the personnel!
OF the American navy has been made neces-
sary IN order TO man and operate the army

lnadvisable. and probably impossible, to re-
crult and train enough merchant sailors to
man the increasing number of troopships
needed TO move the great American army to

turned this whole service over 10 the navy
Naval officers and naval crews have taken
over every transport. every munition and
army supply ship. This fact goes far toward
explaining the splendid results achieved i'm

are in command of experienced and skilled
navy officers, making possible the fullest CO.

There is one element of the farmir S
population which in particular should
receive sympathetic consideration. II
is class which is in the minds Of
mos; OF US when we are thinking about
the acuter agricultural problems. Too
frequently they have little or no col
lateral and are not good farmers: or
at least. not good business farmers:
and too often al the close of the years
operations they have little or nothing
left over. and they move OIL to try
their fortunes in some other commun-
ity. With relatively low standard
Of living. inferior producing ability.
usually cultivatns the less satisfac-
tory land. they not infrcquentIy And
themselves in the hands of the more
cHactinE landlord or merchant
We must do zealously for this class
what we are trying to do for the whole
farming population. Their problem
can be reached only by fundamental
alterations. through educational meth
DDS. and better marketing. Many
agencies arc now enlisted in their be-
half. All the work of the Department
OF Agriculture. Of the land grant col
leges. of the States Departments OF
Agriculture. and OF the better farmers
is aiding. All the recent leGisla ton
Will contribute.
The immediate need is to enlist the
intelligent sympathetic aid of the bus
mess man. and especially of the banker.
Here is an illustration. only one OF
many. IL may serve to indicate what
the urban community. what business

years ago we knew we'll a certain
county in the South We recall wildly
the conditions then existing The IA rm-
