money. Our soldiers wanted to
help them. So they finally decided
on a plan. The decided to get

in it until they had lot Of money.
They filed the bank and when they
counted it, they found that they
had twenty dollars. At first they
did not know what to get for the
children. There were three boys
and three girls. They bought a
drum for one of the boys. For an
other, they bought horn and for
the youngest they bought hobby
horse. They bought a doll and a
doll cart for one of the girls, and a
doll and doll bed for another one,
and for the baby they bought a

toes and a roast of meat, peanuts,
candy and other good things. So
they had happy Christmas.

1t has become matter of his
tory as to what the first Red Cross
commission did there, when doc
tors and nurses laid down their
lives in the brave fight, and others
were invaded for life And there
are desperately bad situations still
to be met in that country.
Terrible tales come out of Asia
Minor and Armenia as to suffering
disease, starvation and oppression,
but never has the Red Cross failed
to have its representatives in these
plague-ridden spots, giving medical
care, making the best of every sit
uation, carrying that message Of
help and comfort for which the
Red Cross flag stands.
And so this story might go on,
of heroism and of the horrors and
dangers which the Red Cross work
ers must undergo, ever facing the
possibility of death
Roll Call December is to 20.
The Red Cross Christmas Roll
Call is not far distant. 1t is hoped
that every American will answer
that with the assurance that he is,
or will become a member.
There are 100000 junior mem

in the United States can help
swell that number in one or both
Of two ways; by joining himself
and by inducing others to take q

The way to proceed is to report
Immediately to the local chapter of

ca secured thousands of members

make it hundreds of thousands in

THE LARK'S NEST

Some larks had a nest in field
of grain One evening, when the
old larks came home they found
the young ones in great terror.
eve must leave our nest at
once" they cried.
Then they told how they had
heard the farmer say that he would
go ask his neighbor to help him
reap the field tomorrow.
oh" said the old birds, if that
is all, we may rest quietly in our
nest
The iIext evening the young
birds were found again in state
of terror. The farmer was very
angry because his neighbor had
not come to help him in the field
and had said that the next day he
would get his relative to come and
help him.
The old birds took this news also
very calmly and said there was no
fear as yet
The next evening the young birds
were quite CHeeTlul.
Have you heard nothing today? ?"
asked the old birds.
Nothing important" they an.
swered. THE farmer was angry
because his relative had not come
to help him reap the field; and he
told his sons that they would dc
it themselves the following morn
ing"
This time the old birds were ex.
cited.

HUNTING THE BEAR

Once upon a time there lived
family on Sailor street and they
were very rich. They had little
boy whose name was Carl. One
day he wanted to go to the woods
to hunt bear. So he asked his
mother if he could go out in the
woods and kill bear.
mo, Carl" said his mother, you
can not 60, because if you see
bear. and get near him. he will eat
you up"
mo, he won't" said Carl angrily.
Then Carl went into the house
and got his gun and went out into
the woods. But his mother didn't
know that he had his gun with him.
1t was about nine o'clock when
he started out When he did not
come home for dinner, his mother
became very worried about him.
About four-thirty o'clock in the
afternoon. he came in the house
with his gun in his hand. and
big bear over his shoulder His
mother was so surprised she didn't
know what to do.
Carl said, Let us have bear for
supper"
So Carl took the bear and
skinned it. Then his mother put
it in a great big kettle and put it
on the stove. And the next even
ing they had bear meat for supper.
Now there was very poor fami-
ly that lived across the street. AS
Carl was very generous boy, he
thought of them right away, and
said he wanted some of the bear
meat to go to them.
So he took a great big dishful Of
the bear meat across the street to
the poor family. How surprised
the poor people were and how
glad they were to have such a nice
supper. 1t was the best meal they
had ever had in all their lives, and
they lived happy ever after.
The end of the story.

Fisherman Finds
Gold Watch in Fish
PAGE THREE

DALLAS, Tex.--Catching fish
in a fish net Is not uncommon
among the. fishermen along Trinity
river. In fact, they say one rarely
captures big catfish without find
ing several fish of remarkable size
in its stomach Such discovery is
not apt to arouse any comments
from an old fisherman. but when
fish is taken from a 60-pound "cat,"
and said fish is found to contain a
second, and this one still smaller,
and from the third ones interior a
$3.50 jewel-studded gold watch is
found-well, that is enough to
make even an old fisherman's eyes
bulge from their sockets.
That's what is said to have hap
pened during the present week.
John Border, a young fisherman,
threw in his .'trotline" one night,
and next morning was surprised to
find that he had hooked a 60
pound catfish. Border was all the
more surprised because he had
fished that particular hole for
week without catching anything.
Border took the big fish home
and began preparing it for the mar
ket. OF course, he fully expected
to find one or more fish when he
cut the giant open. He did. In the
big cats" stomach was a seven
pound fish that resembled q bull
head. but which was pronounced to
be horned mullet. Ripping open
the mullet Border found three
poung black bass, and as it was in
good condition he resolved to clean
1t for dinner.
He had no sooner plunged his
knife into the bass when is struck
some hard substance. This proved
to be nothing less than a gold
watch, ladies' timepiece, studded
with wreath Of small diamonds
and a single large ruby.
Words cannot describe the young
fisherman's amazement at his lucky
find. The discovery of the bass in
side of the mullet was more than a
mild surprise, but to see a beauti-
full gold watch, sparkling with
precious stones, come popping out
0 fthe bass was enough to make
him think he was dreaming.
Border has advertised and
searched for the owner of the
watch, and failing to find her is
now wearing it himself, although
he is anxious to sell it.
Old fishermen say they have fire.
quently found trinkets in fish, and
one recalls finding small diamond
ring. None. however, can recall
the fact of fish swallowing another
that has also swallowed third one,
or of fish swallowing such an ar
ticle as watch. Border is being
congratulated on his remarkably
good fortune.

Tie Christmas Roll Call


Wherever the American army
goes. the American Red Cross is
not far behind.
In camps in this country and
abroad, in centers established for
rest or recreation. if wounds or i'll
ness take the soldiers into the first
aid huts or to hospitals, the men
and women of the Red Cross fol-
low and give whatever help or com
fort lies within their power.
In France, still reeking with all
it's horrors of shell and gas and
bayonet, with it's clogging, blood
stained mud. with its damp, YER
min-filled trenches and loathsome
smelling battle-felds, are doctors
and nurses giving relief to the sore
ly wounded, working day and night,
hour after hour, without rest or
sleep, in hospitals which, until the
armistice, the Huns did not hest
tate to bomb.
Keep the Canteens Full.
Red Cross rolling canteens, SO
placed that they can push out an
nexes and send hot soup, hot cof-
fee or cocoa to cheer and strength
en- the wearied troops, are still at
work. Our soldiers, returning
from the front exhausted sickened,
perhaps, by the first sight of death
all about them, shaken with the
horror of war, are fed and comfort
ed by these canteen workers.
Brave Belgium's little army has
it's group of American Red Cross
workers too, and across the horror
of that desolated land, medical and
surgical relief, hot food and SYM
pathy in fullest measure are taken
through danger and discomfort
Last winter, in Italy's darkest
| days, the American Red Cross be-
gan it work with the Italian Relief
societies. Down from the north
the refugees fed hungry, thirsty,
half frozen, drenched to their
skins from storms, packed in cattle
cars, sleeping on stone floors or in
the open, and, worst of all, home
less, driven from their own vines
and fig trees to unknown horrors
For them the Red Cross provided
what seemed their greatest need
Of the moment, abiding places or
at least shelter. Since then, ambu-
lance units have been established
in Italy and heroic work along the
battle line has proved the metal of
the Red Cross men.
Uncle Sam has Boys In Russia.
Into Russia, the Red Cross is
sending relief, ship-loads of food
across submarine infested waters
up through the Arctic North, to
feed the starving people of Russia
in Europe, torn and bewildered. by
warning revolutionary forces. Into
Siberia, with the Allies aiding the
Czecho Slovak soldiers in making
their brave stand for liberty, have
gone Red Cross doctors and nurses
to face the awful winter of that
frozen land to die if need be for
principle.
Roumania and Serbia, over,run
by vicious soldiers of the German
and Austrian armies, were in the
most desperate condition that can
be imagined. The people were
starving, families separated, wan
dering, homeless; the food situa-
ton becoming worse daily, and
that most dreaded of diseases, ty-
plus, becoming an epidemic. Chol-
era and pneumonia were raging.
1t is estimated that at least a mil
lion people out of a population of
five millions were infected with
one disease or another.
