"Speed up!' is the call from sur
seon General Gorgas to the American
Red Cross in its campaign to recruit
graduate nurses.
With the American army overseas
entering more and more into the fight
ing, he said, the need for additional
nurses becomes imperative.
The call is for 1000 graduate nurses
a week for the next eight weeks, or
5000 by October /, for tile whole
country.
The states in Central division-Illi-
nois, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska and
Wisconsin-have been enrolling gradu-
naval service. but will redouble their
efforts to meet this urgent request.
The public can help by urging every
graduate nurse to enroll with the Red
Cross, and also by reducing calls upon
graduate nurses in case of illness,
using practical nurses wherever prac-
ticable and learning how TO handle
simple ailments i'm the home without
outside help.
"Waste not, want not" will be a new
Red Cross slogan.
Upon request of the war industries
board the American Red Cross will
undertake new line of work, the con-
servation of materials now going to
waste.
This salvage campaign will be di-
rected by a new bureau of conserva-
ton at National Red Cross headquar-
ters in Washington and will call for
cooperation by chapters throughout
the country acting upon Instructions
given through division headquarters.
While the Red Cross will get the
benefit of the material saved or col
lectcd, the primary purpose is not to
raise funds for the Red Cross but to
save materials needed in the winning
of the war.

Attractive ParasoIs.

A pretty parasol, carried at one of
the smart seaside places recently, was
of plum taffeta, quite plain except for
the bit Of figured chiffon shirred over
the inward workings of the sticks and
steeIs that regulate the going up and
the coming down of the parasol, and
big black wooden bead, sewed to
each rounded point of scalloped Sec
ton, that hung down, awning like,
around the edge Of the parasol. An
other smart parasol, very effective
with a colored muslin frock, is made
of white taffeta, with white enameltd
sticks and handle and ferrule. The
only decoration is wide border Of
eyelet embroidery done with white sill
threads.

Mills at
Boyne Burn
Our Neishboring City Has $780,.
900 Fire Loss, Friday.

The w. H. White company combina-
tion band and circular saw mill and
planning mill on the water front at
Boyne City was completely destroyed
by fire last Friday evening. The loss
is figured at $15O,0OO and is partially
covered by insurance.
How the fire caught is a mystery. 1t
was burning hard when discovered by
watchmen. The firemen saved the
great piles of lumber and the power
plant after several hours hard effort.
The mill was one of the largest in
Northern Michigan and had capacity
of one hundred thousand feet day in
addition to the planning mill. The mills
were operated by the Michigan Trust
company, receivers, with F. o. Barden
local manager.
The company has about ninety mil
lion feet of timber in Northern Michigan
yet to be cut and it is likely the mill
will be rebuilt on the present site. The
amount Of timber represents about a
tewenty years run.

WHERE WOMEN VOTE

There are fifteen million women
voters in the world.
Abroad, women vote on the same
terms as men in Norway, Finland, Ice
land Australia New Zealand, Denmark,
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
In the United States, women vote on
equal terms with men in Wyoming,
Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Washington,
Alaska, Montana, Nevada, California,
Arizona, Kansas, Oregon and New
York.
Women have Presidential Suffrage in
Illinois, North Dakota, Nebraska, Mich
igan, Rhode Island and Indiana; pri-
mary suffrage in Arkansas and Texas;
municipal suffrage in Vermont.
No state or country where women
have actually voted has attempted to
take the ballot away, fact which
proves that woman suffrage has in no
way injured women, men or the home,
nor harmed the community interests.
On the contrary, prominent men and
women OF every profession, class and
state have from their own knowledge
testified that Woman Suffrage Works
Well.

Bad Accident
At Furnace Dock
w. S. Blanshan Receives Broken
Hip and Internal Injuries.

In an accident at the Furnace Co.'S
dock about 500 o'clock Wednesday
night, w. S. Blanshan was struck by
an empty return ore car which threw
him onto the trestle and carried him
abou Thirty feet. He received bro
kenylip and some internal injuries, the
exact extent not being known at this
writing. Drs. Witter Of Petoskey and
Parks of this city operated upon him
Thursday evening to relieve bladder
difficulty.
Mr.. Blanshan went onto the trestle
to change the. dumping block. The car
man waited some ten minutes and then
started the empty return car. The car
weighs about $500 lbs empty. Mr..
Blanshan failed to notice the car had
started until it struck him, knocking
him down and carrying him about
thirty feet. The car jumped the track,
pinning him underneath. Fellow
workers lifted the car off from him. AT
no time was he unconscious.
Just how the accident could happen
is mystery. II takes about three
minutes to change the dumping block,
and the car man held the car at the
dump about ten minutes, something
hardly ever done. No system of sig
nails are used, it being presumed that
the noise of the slowly moving car and
the flapping of the cables sufficient
