RED CROSS NOTES

uC u. D. ouIkeOH NGIlGId1 Is call
ing up on the A. R. C. to supply ad-
ditional nurses for army service. The
army needs nurses quite as much as
it needs ammunition and each chapter
is urged to interest itself in the mat
ter of enlisting the services Of COM
petent nurses Nursing is the oe-iSs
-inal and primary object of the Red
Cross organization, while other forms
of relief are incidental. Volunteer
nurses should register with the sec
retary of the county chapter.
A second time this reporter has ac-
cidentaly overheard commendable
words for the Collyer workers On
this occasion commendation was elic-
tied by the excellence of their gauze
work
There is more than one way to whip
the Hun, to win the war and beat the
Kaiser Likewise there is more than
one way to raise funds for Red Cross
work. Union auxiliary, located north
of Ogallah, recently sold a cake for
$3.50
A Red Cross rooster, contributed
by W. F. Hancock, was sold at the
HI. R. Peek sale last Tuesday for
$103- This same rooster is recuperat-
ing now in anticipation of another
drive which he will make in the near
future. He was working for The North
auxiliary last Tuesday.
The North Branch ladies also add
ed to their funds By serving lu1ch at
the Peek sale. The viands served
were most excellent (as the publicity
committee knows by tested sampies)
and so it is not surprising to learn
that practically $50 were secured in
this way The ladies were prepared
to serve much larger crowd and
their reputation for culinary skill is
now so firmly established that the
larger crowd will certainly be there
next. time.
Three thousand five hundred pieces
of finished work were sent to head
quarters last week by Trego County
Chapter, A. R. c., as follows: 5
sweaters, 10 pairs wristlets, 80 pairs
sox, Al packages of twenty 9x9
gauze squares and LA packages of
twenty each Aka gauze wipes.

DICTAGRAMS

A man will do many things to pro-
tect himself or his family, if Necessary,
which he would not do under other
circumstances, and "get by" with it.
Likewise, in time of national danger
people endorse and uphold many
things which they would hardly toler-
ate at other times.
This Hooverizing on day light and
camouhageing ourselves into the no.
tion that we are gaining time reminds
me of the old story of the old darkey
who said he worked 25 hours each day.
When told that there are but "a
hours in A. day tie old fellow carried
his point by ascertaining that he al
ways began work an hour before day.
OF course it is less trouble and ex-
pense to turn our clocks ahead than
it would be to re-arrange all our
printed skeedoolies. However, in this
vicinity for several years most of our
ahead of standard time, or forty min
utes ahead of sun time and to have
them an hour and forty minutes
ahead of the sun would be going some
indeed.
Old 81 says that there are a lot of
fellows shooting billiard balls who
ought to be shooting Huns and Uncle
Heck admits that there are a good
many unattached men between the
ages of 81 and Al who would make
good soldiers. The proposed law which
provides for the drafting of boys as
fast as they reach the age 21 years
will not produce as many recruits as
might at first appear because a great
many boys of 16 to 20 years have al
ready volunteered. 1t is probable
many of the older class could be bet
ter spared.
At the risk of tiring the reader we
delve again into the vein of remin-
two people crossed the prairies of
Illinois on the same train-bound for
the same land of promise-but each
was unconscious of the others hopes
and ambitions, or even of the others
existence, and so remained for several
years. They crossed the line of the
jayhawker state on the 9th day of
March 1878, one going to Trego
County and the other to Cherokee.
Fifteen years later they were neigh
bors, living in Wa-Keeney, and only
then discovered by accident that they
had once travelled on the same train.
Ships might pass in the night with
out speaking and remain out of hail

The town of Wa-Keeney was only
an infant in swadling clothes forty
years ago. The surveyor who was lay
ing out the town had an Office in a
part of what is now the Trego House.
The first hotel, the Commercial House,
stood on the corner where J. W.
Spena now has his auto show room.
The first depot, wooden building,
had been moved up from the old
Trego Tank Station a mile west. 1t
afterwards served as a church for the
Presbyterians, Christians and Quak-
ers, in succession, and was later work

The World War has resulted not. only
in the destruction of millions Of human

most Of the farm animals in Europe.

3 10000, 900 less cattle, 60, O00, 900 less
sheep and 35, 900. 900 less hogs in the
world now than when the wal began in
1914, and that the shortage is steadily
increasing, despite the tremendous eff
forts Of America TO cneck 1t. There is
much less poultry than four years ago
because Europe has always producer
enormous numbers of chickens, geese and
ducks. and war has made heavy inroads
upon these locks. America has been eat
ing much poultry and poultry products
as substitutes for beef and pork.
The horse industry has suffered a
shock from which 1t will not recover for
decades. The Belgian horse business,
encouraged by Government subsidy, has
been completely destroyed. The Per-
cheron horse industry has been wiped
out in many parts of France. The drain
Of war in foreign countries has reduced
breeding stock to a dangerously low min
imum and it Is TO America that breeders
are now turning. South Dakota will do
her share. the five stock industry having
been steadily increasing for the past ten

TARR|NG CASE
Sensational Story Is Re-
ceived Here From Los
Angeles on the J. Stewart
Ross Case.

Although receiving another setback
in the Superior court by being placed
under a peace bond of $500, ]. Ed
gar Ross, the Brawley apiarist who
was tarred and feathered during the
given up his legal fight.
He has retained Attorney M. o.
Wilson of Los Angeles o handle the
several cases resulting from the liti-
cation in the matter, which includes
suits for damages against alleged
members of the mob of assailants
and prosecution of those whom he
holds responsible for the indignities
he suffered.
The startling word was received
here today from an authoritative
source in Los Angeles that formal
request would be made to Governor
William ID. Stephens to authorize the
appointment of SPECIAL deputy or
prosecutor to handle the controver-
sial situation.
recite that the tarring of Ross was
a crime in the eyes of the law; that
the local and county officials had re-
fused or failed to prosecute the cul
pable ones, and that the feelings en-
gendered by the case ran so high
that neither faction could be assured
of justice except through the inter-
vention of the state.
AS the decision of Judge Franklin
j. Cole in court yesterday shut Ross
off from an appeal to higher court,
it is understood that the latter
would follow the procedure outlined
by law and secure new hearing be-
fore another court by the process OF
habeas corpus.
Judge Cole ruled that the judg-
ment of the Brawley township court
should be set aside, but that the de-
fendant should be placed under a
peace bond, to be effective for six
months from October, 1918. The
ruling was on an appeal from the
justice court, where Ross was found
guilty of disturbing the peace and
was placed under bail of 81 900.

OFFICERS
Of BORDER CO.
ARE TRANSFERRED

A number of changes in the army
officers assignments at Camp John
H. Beacon have taken place. Lieu
Patjens left yesterday for San Diego,
where he will become district adju-
tant, instead of post adjutant as here:
Lieutenant Cherry has been ordered
here and will take command OF Troop
l. Major Bone has been assigned as
squadron commander and will be To-
Gated at San Diego.
What will be of most interest, how
ever, is the transfer of Lirst Lieuten-
ant Finley, who has been in command
here for long time now and who Is
one of the most popular of the COM
manding officers who have been To-
Gated here. A captain has been or
dered here from Panama to take
command and Lieutenant Finley will
go to San Diego to squadron head
quarters, where he will be district
supply officer.
It is understood that no changes
will be made in the number of troops
located here and things will be about
the same as usual, save for the de-
parture of well-liked officers. .--Calex

SEA TRAGEDY.
Party Returning From a
PrOsp Getting Trip Run
Across Ev licences of
Drowning.

While returning from prospecting
trip in the Cave Springs country,
Captain Charles r. Davis, well known
resident of INLAND, and his party,
yesterday afternoon uncovered evil
dences of tragedy in which lone
huntsman is believed to have gone
to his death in the waters of the
Salton sea.
The discovery came about through
meeting with bird dog who, though
apparently famished almost to the
point of starvation, refused to leave
one spot on the shore of the inland
sea. Some distance away they dis
cerned an overturned skiff, which told
a mute story of the probable fate of
the hunter.
Captain Davis and his party fol-
lowed the shore line of the sea for a
distance of about twelve miles, but
could find no trace of missing man.
No footsteps were observed IN the
sand and nothing else was found
which would shed light on the mat
ter.
From all appearances, the sup
posed drowning may have occurred
several days ago, as the faithful dog,
refusing to desert his master, even
in death, was so weak that he could
hardly walk and physically was so
reduced to skin and bones that he
weighed barely twenty pounds.
The dog has a white breast and has
white stars on his front feet. The
dog, said Captain Davis, seemed to
be used to a gasoline engine, for aft
er they started the machinery in the
skiff he seemed to be in his ele-
ment.
While not likely, it is still within
the realm of probability that the
skiff-a large one-might have car.
ried more than one passenger and
that the tragedy claimed two or three
victims. The sheriff's office has no
report of any missing parties.

RED CROSS ASSISTS
OVER 5000 PEOPLE
(By Associated Press)

San Francisco, Dec 21.-More than
600 families of soldiers and sailors
in the Pacific division have been
served by Home Service committees
in Red Cross Chapters. This work
has been of confidential nature and

One open page of the work OF the
Home Service section now carries an
exhaustive story of what the Red
Cross did during the Spanish influ-
enza epidemic This work was dis
tributed throughout the three states
in the Pacific division. AS the end OF
the epiden,ic has not yet come, statis-
ties showing how Red Cross Chap
ters handled the situation, and how
many nurses were used are not avail
able.
Local calls for aid which the Home
Service answered during the year
came from several towns which have
suffered small conflagrations. In
the earthquake at Hemet and San
Jacinto. Red Cross aid was given to
onlv few families, as a generous
fund donated bv Chamber of Com
merca all over the state for the res
toration of property was sufficient for
all relief purposes. oo
All but 12 Chapters out of 168 in
the division are maintaining Home
Service work. Since January Of this

have been cared for each month at an
average cost of $22,364.S4 monthly
The report on file in the division Office

SAYS I'VE
()F VII -SSNS
TERMS BAD
Republican Leader Declares
That Some of the Four.
teen Declaration Would
Breed Division. I,
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator
Lodge in an address in the Senate
said that five of the presidents four
teen principal questions which might
lead to division among the nations
which conquered Germany should be
postponed until after the peace con-
ference. They relate to secrecy. Of
diplomacy, freedom of the seas, eco
romic barriers, reduction of armanet,
end league of nations. He declared
that untoward events can be avoided
only if the Senate expresses itself
frankly in advanced. He called the
advocacy Of navy as large as Eng
lands in six years strange develop
ment in connection with the pending
naval bill, He declared we need
powerful fleet only in the Pacific,
as danger1in the Atlantic has ceased.
SENATOR Lodge said: "While l think
it is graXe mistake for the president
TO ignore Fhe Senate, because our ul-
innate responsibility in making peace
is quite equal to his own, have no
fault to find with his not appointing
senators delegated to the peace con-
ference. He was under no obligation
whatever to make such appoint
ments."
Regarding suggestions that a
great navy is needed for police duty,
he said he would "not stop to ask who
is to order that navy about the
world" He said he would be glad
if Senate debates on peace were sup
pemented by definite resolutions eX-
pressing views on important points.
"Peace being our object" he said,
'terms must be eXacted which will
make it, so far as human foresight
goes, impossible for Germany to
break out aoain>upon the world. This
canont be done by treaty entangle-
ments, signatures and documents. At
this iuncture of affairs Germany
will sign anything, but her pledge
would be as worthless as the guaran-
tee she gave Belgium"
