Mrs. c. N. Worthen, chairman of the committee of the local Red Cross chapter that deals with war relief work, states that there is need for more workers. It is true that a great proportion of the women of the city are working hard but there are still those who are not devoting any time at all to these different branches of work. More knitted articles and hos pital garments are badly needed. The allotment for the local chapter of the Red Cross for hospital garments that must be completed before September 1 is as follows: 800 convalescent robes, 800 pajamas, 800 underdrawers, 800 undershirts, 800 convalescent suits, 800 boys blouse suits, 300 boys' under drawers, 300 boys undershirts, 800 wo- mems blouses 500 women's morning jackets, 800 petticoats, 1000 dress shirts, 1000 girls chemises, 800 pima | flores, 200 capes, 800 layettes.

LOCAL NURSES ARE 60 MING FORWARD FINELY Children's Day at Washing ton Park Methodist
 Episcopal Church WORKERS NEEDED
 FOR RED CROSS Home Service Section of Red Cross In Their New
 Quarters


 nurses are volunteering in goodly pro- portion to the number that are eligi- ble. There is being circulated insid- ious propaganda that misstates the conditions of enrolment that is well calculated to act as a great drawback for the enrolment. The need for nurses is great and there is a com mittee of 12 from the local Red Cross chapter that was appointed to interview every nurse h the city personally to urge her to enlist.
 The results of the work of this committee are apparent in the num- bers that have enrolled. Many en- rolled without any solicitation what ever. One of the misleading state ments that has been published is to the effect that after nurse enrolls she has no means of knowing when she will be called for duty. There is not a word of truth in this as when a nurse makes her application she herself sets the date at which she will be ready for service.
 Sunday will be Children's Day and plans have been made at the Wash ington Park M. E. church for de- lightful program in observance of the occasion. This program will be- gin at o'clock on Sunday evening and is as follows: O Recitation, Greetings" by Edgar Beers; recitation, welcome" by Laura Selleck; recitation, welcome, '' by Florence Johns; recitation, q Am

SINN FEINERS NOW ON PARADE
 AT ALL FUNERALS

Dublin July 1O.-Now that all pro- sessions and outdoor meetings have been banned in Dublin, the Sim Fein- CTS have taken to parades at funerals, to which it is obviously difficult and undesirable to apply the prohibition
 Sunday is great day for funerals in all parts of Ireland, and scores of long and picturesque funeral process sions may be seen every Sabbath ma king their way through the Dublin streets, some of them consisting of fif- ty or more vehicles of all kinds, prin- cipally jaunting cars each containing five or six friends of the deceased. A great display was made by the Sim Feiners at the funeral of James Francis Cullen. young man who took part in the 1916 rebellion.
 Cullen was sentenced by court mar tial to ten years penal servitude, sub sequentIy commuted to five years, for an active if minor part in the reoel- lion, and he was released from LeWes Jail under the general amnesty in May last year. He died from natural caus- | es. His funeral procession included nearly 5000 members of the Sim Fein Volunteers. who followed him to his grave in the Fenian Circle in Glasney- | in.
 The procession through the streets drew large crowds of sympath1zers- It was wisely ignored by the military ana the police. The Sim Fein paraders, with equal wisdom, refrained rom | Drassinp any diroo+ challenge, such as marked the funeral of Thomas Ashe last year when firing party, follow ing military usage, carried reversed

Beautify Entrance
 At Seaside Park

At meeting of the Board of Park Commissioners last night, it was de cided to improve the entrance of Sea side park, where the Perry memorial arch now stands. Concrete sidewalks will Joe laid, and shrubbery and flower beds will be laid around the arch. The space left vacant in the arch will be filled with life size bronze statue of William Hunt Perry, which will arrive soon.
 Some changes may be made in the playground at Old Mill Green, if the proposition of the Bridgeport Hous- ing company regarding the purchase of land from the Lakeview Cemetery association Is accepted. This will ne- cessitate the extension of Pembroke street to the land in question, and will demand the moving of the play ground apparatus

causes, may think 80. The deeds
of time are governed as we'll as
judged, by the degrees of etrenity.
The caprice Of feeting existences
bends to the imuovable omnipot-
ence bends to plant its foot on all
centuries and has neither change
Of purpose nor repose. Sometimes,
like a message through the thick
darkness of night, it steps along
mysterious ways; but when the
hour strikes for the people, or for
mankind to pass into new form
or being unseen hands draw the
bolts from the gates of futurity; an
all-subduing influence prepares the
minds of men for the coming re-
volution; those who plan resist
ance find themselves in conflict
with the will of Providence rather
than with human devices; and all
hearts and all understandings, most
of all the opinions and influences
of the unwilling, are wonderfully
attached and compelled to bear
forward the change, which becomes
more an obedience to the law of
universal nature than submission to
the arbitrament of men.

The next organization to come
forth for the Red Cross is the De-
gree of Honor lodge of North OAK
ota. The local lodge is in receipt
of a letter from the state grand
president, Mrs. Frances Lyman,
urging this lodge to join with 9TH
ers of the state to build a house or
"hut" at the firing line for Red
Cross nurses to cost $4,000. The
nurses have no place to rest but
in the hospital amind the sounds
and sights of the wounded and
these modest homes or huts, are to
provide a comfortable place for the
nurses to rest while off duty.
Those who have boys on the fir
ing line cannot 60 there to care for
them. Their place is filled by the
Red Cross nurse and the lodge
aims to make the lives of these
nurses, hard at best. little more
cheerful at the firing line. Eighty
per cent Of the wounded in these
hospitals recover, if given proper
care and it is naturally follows
that, if reasonable provision is
made for the rest and recreation of
:hc nurses, they can be all the more
efficient in their enormous duties.

that in some instances men have

ADVANCEMENT

A town is pretty poorly equip
ped for advancement if it lacks
some machinery such as a business
mems association, Improvement
society or a chamber of commerce.
Yet a large majority of these or
carnations are full of dead wood
and half of them never do any real
work.
Wahpeton, is indeed, fortunate,
in having such an able body of pro
gressive men at the head of its
Commercial club.
Many towns have no organiza
tions or wish to reorganize and
take fresh start. A few dinners
are held with toastmasters and
speakers, and general publication
and good fellowship. Over the
"pop" and the walnuts the pro-
motion looks easy.
A nominating committee is ap-
pointed and formidable list of
committees is brought in. Chair
manships are handed out as com,
plimcnts to elderly capitalists, who
have all the money they want and
are Indifferent as to whether the
town advances or not. The ma
chine is so complicated that it
breaks down of it's own weight
More than half the committees an
pointed by the average organiza-
ton never do a bit of work. This
condition does not exist in Wahpc.
ton.
The writer is glad to say that
the efforts of our local board is
making an excellent impression
Splendid work has been done, but
it we are to progress, we need even
a more widespread feeling of pub
lie spirit, civic pride and ambition
for community advancement, and
IL willingness to do systematic
work for the advancement.
