THE HOPE OF THE WORLD
By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.

the crash of fallen cities and the cries
of tortured humanity, the voice Of
the Red Cross carries clear and strong
the one message of hope to our war
burdened world.
The black horror of this worlds
crisis would be unbearable were it
not for the spirit and work of this
mighty force. The normal mind re-
fuses to contemplate the situation
without this saving power.
1t is the knowledge that in every
city, town and hamlet, men, women
and children are united in this work
of declaring to the world, through
the Red Cross, our message Of, mercy
and brotherhood, that keeps our
hearts from sinking under the burden
of woe and sustains our faith in hu-
man kind. It is the constant daily,
almost hourly touch with the Red
Cross work that is felt by every citi-
zen in the land, that inspires US with
courage and hope.
Out of this hell of slaughter the
Red Cross will guide the warning ma
tons to heaven of worldwide peace
and brotherhood.
Because it is the living expression
of those ideals and principles in de-
Tense of which we are giving our all
in lives and material wealth-because
on every field of death it is proclaim
ing it's message Of life-because it
keeps ever before us and the world
the cause for which we war-because
it will preserve us in the hour of our
victory from defeating ourselves-the
Red Cross is the hope of the world.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1918-05-08

THE hope of the world is not alone
that the armies of humanity will
be victorious, but that the spirit and
purpose of our warfare will prevail in
our victory. The hope of the world
is in the Red Cross, because the Red
Cross is voicing this spirit and pur-
pose that must, through the force OF
our arms, triumph Just to the de-
gree that we can evidence this Red
Cross spirit Of mercy and brother
hood we will hold true in the dan
gerous hour of victory to the ideals
that have forced us into the trenches
in the defense of human rights and
human liberty.
The one sane and saving thought
in this delirium of death that now
possesses the world is the Red Gross.
Wherever the storms of battle
hell rage, amid the fires of ruthless
destruction, in trench and camp and
hospital, these soldiers of mercy with
heroism unsurpassed are carrying the
flag of the highest conceivable ideals
of humanity. The ideals for which
our armies have taken the field are,
by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed
to friend and foe, in that unmistaka-
BILE language of universal mercy and
brotherhood In the terms Of wasted
towns rebuilt, of broken humanity
salvaged, of dying children rescued,
of desolate families succored, the Red
Cross declares the cause for which we
war and proclaims the principles and
ideals that must and will in the end
prevail. Above the thunder of the
guns, the roar of exploding mines,

Don't stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that. Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a so cent bottle o.
'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other IN
gradients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
1t darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application OF
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire more youthful appearance.
1t is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease.

ed fund for the equipment of the
public school grounds and the junior
civics chairman has encouraged the
school children in making war gar
dens and buying thrift stamps and
assisted by the teachers has conduct
ed the story telling hours. At the
request of the president and the
chairman of education, military drill
has been continued in the public
school although not financed as here
tofore by the club It was also
through the influence of our club
board members that music was intro
duced for the first time into the cur
riculum of our schools.
Ocala's splendid rest room sup
ported by the city, has been most
ably conducted by our rest room
chairman and the thousands of Wis
itors testify to its popularity.
1t has been your presidents desire
that our club should do not only her
bit but her best, to help her country
in distress and although not all that
has been hoped for has been attain
ed our club has proven beyond a sus-
picion of a doubt that she is patriotic
to the core. Reference has already
been made to the work of the food
conservation chairman. This was the
first war work done by the club.
Both food conservation pledge card
campaigns have been conducted in
Ocala by club members. The liberty
loan. committee was the first one to
be appointed in the state in the first
campaign. The committees have so
licited subscriptions in Liberty Bonds
in the three campaigns to the amount
of $4,000, the club taking out the
bonds previously mentioned.
The Red Cross has received contrib
unions from our members through
the club and nearly every member
has worked individually for the Red
Cross, the health committee meeting
regularly with the Red Cross workers.
At the risk of being misunderstood
we have agitated the question of knit
ting for the soldiers in our club meet
ings, the education committee gave
an entertainment for the benefit of
the Red Cross and our club house
has been given them free of charge
for four entertainments.
The animal protection committee
showed it's patriotism by contributing
to the Red Star. Our club has as
sisted in the Y. w. c. A war relief
drive and contributed $49.5O to the
War Victory Commission which was
going over the top for US.
AS war emergency work, French
classes, motoring and gun practice
have been conducted. Several purely
patriotic meetings have been held
with appropriate addresses and mu-
sic.
Last but not least our virtues of
omission should be remembered for
we have sacrificed cherished plans
knowing that to carry them out would
be to detract from more patriotic
service. We have Loyalty stood aside
and let other organizations have
right of way. Our entertainments
have been simple and we have striven
in every way to show that we are
with our government hand and heart.

A sunbeam flashes through the rain
And, with the clouds in half eclipse
Snatches a kiss from her sweet lips,
Like some impetuous cavalier,
Who sees a maiden unaware
Walking in April's sun and shower,
Her hair soft gold, her lips flower,
And with an impulse fugitive,
PLIERS a kiss she did not give!

state committee. The pleasure Of oul
meetings has been greatly enhanced
/ by the splendid musical numbers
which have been arranged by oul
chairman of music.
AS loyal members OF the Florida
| Federation of Women's Clubs we have
not overlooked our duty to our fed
Grafton. Our club has paid dues to
the state treasurer for one hundred
and one members. We have also
paid dues to the General Federation of
| Women's Clubs. The Ocala club was
! represented at the June meeting OF
the state executive board by it's pres
ident and upon her return she had
the resolutions adopted at this meet
committee. Letters sent the club by
various state chairmen have been
read at the club and referred to the
corresponding committees of the club.
The Ocala club sent a delegation
of three persons to the state conven-
ton in Tampa besides the president
of the club, who was also state
chairman of home economics, and
the past president of the federal ion
Mrs. Hooker. One of our delegates,
Mrs, Moorhead, contributed largely
to the success of the home economics
exhibit at the convention. The club
has contributed to the Royal Palm
park fund, the scholarship fund, the
schools for girls and boys and the
Childrens home in Jacksonville 4
large contribution was also made to
the War Victory Commission which is
the special war work undertaken by
the general federation.
We are justly proud of the enter
tainment given the state executive
board in February and boast of the
fact that the entertainment was
managed without having to draw
on the funds of the clubs treasury
This meeting was the most largely
attended of any ever held by the
state federation and was pronoun-
ced by all one of the best.
Our public health committee again
sold Red Cross stamps for the feder-
alton for the first time disposing of
our full quota, amounting to $3.50.
The Woman's club of Ocala is
known throughout the state for it's
wonderful community work and if we
have not kept pace with the work
done in the past it is because we
have sacrificed our ambition and
plans for what we considered more
portant work at this time, that of
helping to win the war. Some very
important community work has been
accomplished by our chairman Of
food conservation whose excellent
work in forming canning clubs and
boosting food conservation has made
of our women better housewives. The
home economics committee has pla-
ced in the public library the special
travelling library of the state depart
ment for the use Of any woman IN
Ocala, also the library has been loan
ed to the girls industrial school. The
social service committee has taken
much interest in the girls school and
in the crippled children at the hospi-
tai, besides their right hand doing
much in the community which their
left hand knows not of.
The education committee has start
