The 0Esaaizias OF The
Junior Red Cross.

Junior Red Cross.
Wednesday morning, Jan. 16,
Rev. Short came over to the
school auditorium at Chapel time
for the purpose of organizing the
school into a Junior Red Cross.
For the opening Of Chapel ex-
ercises he read as a scripture
lesson the parable of the Samara.
tan, found in Luke 10:-30-36.
and paraphrased the story in
more modern terms by saying:
A certain boy went from Marion
school to France, and fell. badly
wounded, on the Western front.
a wealthy traveller from America
happened to be on the battle
field that day and saw the
American boy lying there. but
when he saw him he turned and
went away. Soon another Amer
lean saw the boy suffering there,
and Immediately he called for an
ambulance, had the soldier taken
to a hospital and saw that he
was well provided for while
there. Then Rev. Short made
the application of the work of
the Samaritan to the work of
the Red Cross here in our own
school, after which he gave
some splendid examples of relief
work done in other places.
Mr.. Christian gave a short
talk on the work and aims of the
Red Cross, then called for Mr..
Franklin to come forward and
explain to the school the plan he
had devised for enlisting mem.
bers.
This Mr.. Franklin did by
means of a chart which he had
made. At the top was written
in large letters Don't Be A
Stacker" Then under this the
name of each grade and class of
the High School was written.
and after each name four trench
es were drawn. the last of which
extended to mo Mans Land. "
He explained the drawing by
saying When q of the pupils of
a class had become Red Cross
members that class would be in
the first trench, I Of the pupils
would bring it to the second
trench, ! to the third trench, and
when all had become members
they would be in the fourth
trench, and ready to face the
enemy. Mr.. Franklin then ap-
pealed to all that no time be
wasted until each class was
ready to 90 over the top, as he
expressed it when all trenches
had been crossed.
The next morning when re.
ports from the different classes
were called for in Chapel, the
Senior, Junior. Sophomore and
Freshman Classes, also the Sixth
Grade had gone over the top, y
so Mr.. Franklin pinned a flag in
the fourth trench for each OF
them, to show that they haC
taken all the trenches. Report.
from the other grades SHOWED
that most all were nearly int
the fourth trench, and then flag.
were pinned so as to indicat,
where each was.

OUR INDIVIDUAL PART.

Some observers think that the most
characteristic thing about the Ameri-
can soldiers in France, something
which astounds the enemy and excites
the admiration of our allies, is the
capacity of the American soldiers to
do individual thinking and fighting.
the German fights successfully only in
mass formation, in organized bodies,
while every American soldier has an
initiative and independence of action
which gives him remarkable efficiency
in open fighting. They are not sense
less cogs, but each is an individual
working unit in a great fighting ma
chine.
Every American at home should feel
an individual responsibility and do
his or her individual part in winning
the war. There's not an American
citizen who can not help win the war.
The Fourth Liberty Loan drive, which
begins September %, offers a great
opportunity for concerted action aud
for individual action, and the loan will
be tremendous success if each Amer
lean will do his or her individual part
as each American soldier in France
does his part. Our soldiers deserve
such support from the people at home.

EON-VOTERS SHOULD
BE PENALIZED

Ten thousand voters failing to re
gister or vote in one large county of
. western state at the recent primary
is a significant fact.
Complicated election laws, the
trouble and expense of repeated regis
trations and elections make elections
unpopular.
Larger and larger numbers Of citi-
aens refuse to vote and refuse to be
come candidates, there is so much
rcd tape to comply with.
The nomination and election laws
of most states comprise large vol
ume and the annual cost of elections
is becoming burdensome.
The labor unions, socialists, non
PARTISAN league and radicals generally
are organized and vote.
That any obstacles should be plac-
ed in the way of any American citi-
zen taking part in an election is a
paradox.
1t is the aggregate expressed m
telligence of the people that consti-
tutes democracy, and to minimize that
expression is a crime against Re
publican form of government.
We must get back to simpler
manhood suffrage.

General Orders, No. SO, recently is

"A gold chevron to be worn
on the lower half Of the left sleeve
- by each officer, field clerk and
enlisted man who has served six
months in theatre Of operations dur
ing the present war :"
war service badge-bespeaking
active participation in the conflict
abroad. What pride the wearer will
feel, in that little piece of adornment,
of standard material and design!
To the onlookers, what honors will
it suggest; what endurance and valor!
War service badges are not to be
confined to the Army and Navy alone.
The great numbers of those who stay
at home may have a badge of service
and distinction. With the issuing of
the Fourth Liberty Loan button there
becomes available for every loyal
American a mark of war service, a
badge Of honor for war work we'll
done.

WHAT THE LIBERTY
LOAN HAS BOUGHT
FOR THE ARMY

From the beginning Of the war to
June 80, 1918, the last day of the past
fiscal year, contracts were placed by
the Ordnance Department of the Unit
ed States totaling S4,3OOO,00O,00O. The
estimate for the current year is over
7,00o,000,00. The major items of
last year were as follows:
Artillery, $1,O5O,O0O,O0O; automatic
rifles, S300,000,000; small arms, $780,
100000; artillery ammunition, 81 ,900,-
100000; small arm ammunition $780,
100000; small arms ammunition (prac-
tice), $S0,000,000; stores and supplies
personal, horse and organization E,
$230,000,000; armoured motor cars,
S100,000,00O; total, $4,10O,000,000.
Some other expenditures by the
War Department were 1915, 100000
for engineering operations, mostly in
France; $37,000,O00 for -four, S145,-
100000 for sugar; $43,000,O00 for
bacon; $12,000,O00 for beans; $685.
900 for tomatoes; 100000 for rice,
SAT 100000 for rolling kitchens, $127,-
100000 for shoes, $565,000,000 for
clothing; for blankets, S147,000,000
Some smaller expenditures were
over S6,000,000 for axes, 81 ,635 600 for
field stores, $2,70OOOO for carpenter.
and S224,000 for blacksmith tools,
$2,500,O00 for shovels.
The department has bought 100000
wagons and carts, costing $4,000
900; and 10000 horses and mules,
costing S99,O0O,OOO; food for them
cost $62,O00,000, and harness $29, 000,-
900.
These are only some of the figures.
They seem large, but not so large
when it is remembered that we have
nearly 100000 men in France and al
most as many in training here at
home. All this money and all the
other money raised by the Liberty
loans goes to make our Army, our
Navy, and our people powerful and
victorious in their war for freedom
and right.
"We've got the men, we've got the
ships. and we've got the money, too. "

The body of the cape was shirred on
deep yoke which extended around
the sholders. The long ends were
edged with frings to correspond with
the lower edge.
