hOstilities came this week with the
announcement from national head
quarters that the war council has ar
ranged for immediate shipment to that
country of textiles valued at $4,532,-
$50, to meet the acute need for wear
ing apparel among the thousands of
people who are making a brave effort
to re-establish themselves in recov-
cred areas in Europe. France is now
the American Red Cross supply base
for Europe. The announcement stated
that the American Red Cross had 6,067
workers in France on February 1, and
indications were that a great major
ity would be kept there for some time
Millions Of Yards Available
This action of the American Red
Cross will make available for those in
need in many parts of Europe 13,5OO,-
600 yards of materials of the kind
commonly used in the manufacture of
refugee garments, which is to be di-
vlded as follows: Outing flannel,
100000 yards; unbleached muslin,
100000 yards; twilled jeans, 1,4OO.-
600; black sateen, 100000 yards;
bathrobing, 100000 yards; dress
goods and suiting, 100000 yards; can
ton flannel 100000 yards; Bingham,
100000 yards; bleached muslin 500
900 yards. This is one of the largest
items of relief ever authorized by the
American Red Cross. The material
will be fashioned into clothing
by people who are to receive it and
is in addition to a great quantity of
American Red Cross workrooms of
this country and forwarded overseas.
Wearing Apparel Scarce
In that part of Europe laid bare by
the Germans the scarcest article is
material that might be made into
wearing apparel. Thousands of refu-
gees who have been returning to ma
tive places in Warswept areas and
who are endeavoring to rebuild their
homes and get fresh start are for
the most part in need of clothing, and
this shipment from America will help
meet this need.
Garments and cloth will be distrib-
uted by the American Red Cross and
it is planned to establish relief depots

Lieutenant Krauss. also many OF
them have intermarried with Russians
who believe in what they call the
snow cure'-they take hot bath and
then roll in the snow, which, of course
means almost certain death, as con
gestion of the lungs Immediately sets
in. Outside OF these cases, however
they responded exceedingly well tc
treatment"
Lieutenant krauss further stated
that the success in treating natives
was largely due to the very efficient
care and attention given by Miss Oaks
and Miss Nelson, both registered
nurses enlisted in the American Red
Cross, who very ably assisted in all
of the work.-From the Red Cross
Bulletin.

A Red Cross man writes that eggs in

They're not passed by the censor,

80 cents pint, butter 81 pound and
sugar 50 a pound. Imagine feeding a
flock of wives at those prices! Two

The war has been a great training

fold with respect to the relief side
of the equation. Such wonders as
have been accomplished in the name
Of mercy, while frightfuIness was
wreaking its vengeance on the earth
have shown the unlimited possible
ties of humanitarian effort, along
whatever line directed That is one
lesson The other is the duty of man
kind to give more systematic atten-
ton then ever before to the welfare
of it's fellows"

The instructions for the refugee
knitting have not been received as
yet. Cordova's share calls for forty
pounds of wool made into children
sweaters, stockings and muffiers and
women's shawls.
According to instruction received
from the commanding officer at Fort
Liscum, the men stationed at Beaver
Dam. Tiekell and Copper Center were
equipped with sweaters by the local
chapter.
The medical correspondent of the
London Times writes that there seems
to be reasonable ground to believe
that six million persons throughout
the world have died of influenza and
pneumonia. On this estimate the
plague is five times more deadly than
the war. which, it is estimated, has
caused the death Of twenty million
persons in four and half years.
Never since the "black death has such
a plague swept the earth. The raw
ages of this epidemic in our own
country have been awful. How much
worse they might have been had the
relief agencies, of which the Red
Cross was a striking example, not had
splendid organizations to throw into
the field.

Members of Alaska Expedition Report
With the arrival this week on the
steamship Brutus of Lieutenant George
D, Krauss Of the medical reserve
corps, accompanied by Miss Nelson
and Miss Oaks, two Red Cross nurses,
the last of the expedition to Alaska
sent by this division to combat the
influenza has returned to Seattle.
Lieutenant Krauss reports that in
huenza has now been entirely wiped
out of the territory, but that before
the expedition arrived there were
many deaths owing to improper care.
1.-The majority of the deaths occurred
among the natives, great many OF
whom are tubercular, and therefore
less able to resist the disease stated

in the liberated territories of Lille
Amiens, Laon, Mecieres, Cralons,
and Verdun, warehouses at these
places being stocked with supplies to
meet emergency needs of the return
ing civilian refugees. The territory
has been divided into districts, each
district III charge Of an American Red
Cross staff and resident who knows
the people of the district and has their
confidence.
Palermo, Sicily.-Back to America.
This is the cry of hundreds of soldiers
of different nationalities who have
been arriving here after four years of
fighting for their native lands.
Five hundred Serbians, every one a
naturalized citizen of the United
States, passed through here a few
days ago, their one desire being to
get back to America as quickly as
possible. In the party was a negro
volunteer, big, broad shouldered,
smiling darky who apparently was
the pet OF the outfit. To American
Red Cross workers the negro asserted
that he would go back to the United
States if he had to swim the entire
distance.

Complete reports from American
Red Cross canteens for the month of
December give a total of 1889 900 can
teen services performed; $3.50 sick
or wounded men aided en- route to
first aid stations in canteen huts, and
557 sick men removed from trains and
placed in hospitals. Large quantities
Of supplies and food were distributed
including more than one million sand
wiches, three and one-half million Gig
arettes, 100000 pieces of reading mat
ter, million post cards; 32S,000 bars
of chocolate and $4,000 meals were
served free to the men in transit
Numerous articles, such as cakes,
pies, cream cones, stamps, soap,
matches, fruit and candy were sup
piled in large quantities to the men
without cost.
Canteen work of the Red Cross will
continue throughout the United States
until the last of the troops are de-
modified and returned to their home
towns. The returning men are being
enrolled by the canteens as they reach
home, and a "welcome-home rolf is

NO AND YES

(By Henry Polk Lowenstein)
If Old Temptation comes along
To lure you to his show
With his deceit and artful song,
Say no, say no, say NO!
If Old Dame Fashion passes by
To take you to her show,
With waist down low and skirt up high
Say no, say no, say NC
If Wileful Pleasure bid you come
To his big circus show,
To see the clown and beat the drum,
Say no, say no, say NO!
But if Shy Youth makes love to you
And gives you sweet caress,
And If you know his heart beats true,
Say yes, say yes, say YES!
And when you're in your cottage home
And each your love confess,
II little strangers want to come,
Say yes, say yes, say YES!
And when st. Peter bid you in
His hold hand to press,
To wash away your guilty sin,
Say yes, say yes, say YES!

1T ISN'T YOUR TOWN; IT'S YOU!

II there is one idea that The West
ern Retail Lumberman likes to harp
upon, it is that which says that q
town is reflection of its citizenship,
and that when they say that a town is
"dead", they are simply declaring that
the business men of that town lack
nothing but decent burial. It is a
thought that should be pounded into
the heads of the business men every
where. Houses, store buildings,
churches, theatres, etc, don't make a
town. It's the men of the town that
are the town. If the town is dead, it's
business men are in that condition.
Pound that thought eternally home,
and the merchant will be slow to say,
"My town is dead" He doesn't like
to feel that he Is declaring himself al
ready for embalming.
Remember this. When you see a
big rock rolling ponderously up a
s@teep hill, you know without going
Back of it to look, that there is some
force behind that rock that is pushing
to beat the band; and when you see
town that is going forward steadily
and surely, overcoming the obstacles
that all growing communities have to
encounter. riding down its little, old
time, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and-good
enough-for-me obstructionists, you
will know without the question of a
doubt that good men and true are be-
hind that movement, and that they
have their shoulders to the job. There
may be exceptions to the rule---and
If SO they only serve to prove the rule
but the fact is that towns and cit
les are only what their citizens make
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1919-05-23

them, and in such matters, "Citizens"
means business men,"
You say, "That town has great pos
sibilities," and it Is all bosh. Human
possibilities are man-made; nothing
else. They say, "You can't make a
silk purse out of a sow's ear" but the
truth is that skillful man can make
a purse out of sow's ear that has a
silk purse skinned to death. It isn't
so much what you have, as what you
think you have, and what you make
others think you have. Half loaf
to a wise man is worth more than
whole bakery to the man who does
not realize the value of his possessions.
You say, "My town is dead, and
you Immediately contribute literally
toward its burial ceremonies. Your
town is what you and your other
townspeople think it is. Reverse your
attitude. Instead of thinking it's
dead--think it's alive, and you will
Immediately begin to contribute to-
ward its enlivenment. Say it's alive
and get others to saying it. They will
soon be believing it, and when they be-
gin to believe it, it will become fact.
Remember, it isn't your town--it's
you.
Make your town what you would like
to see it. Let us reprint from The
Western Retail Lumberman of De-
cember IS, 1918, Page 16, the follow
ing which has been copied in many
hundreds of publications all over the

WELCOME TO OUR SOLDIERS

On sunny days, in lilac time,
When earth is green and skies are

When church bells ring their sweet

And blood runs high and hearts
beat true,
Brave soldiers all, we welcome you!
Back home again! What magic words!
Dear mothers love and sweetheart
true,
And little hands and songs of birds,
And apple blossoms peeping thru
Brave soldiers all, we welcome you!
o, God of Fate! Those left behind,
In Flanders Fields and Argonne

And Thierry, too, the blind,

Lo! let us not forget this day!
Let's bare our heads and kneel and
pray!

And start on a long, long hike.

You'll only find what you left behind;
For there's nothing that's really
new.
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
1t isn't your town--it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to
see.
It isn't your town--it's you.

Attempt to Put End
to Loss Of Millions
on Michigan Reel

Eagle River, Mich, Sept IL
(Specia1) To cheat the grave
yard" OF, Lake Superior of further
victims after taking toll of Great
Lakes shipping for nearly a cen
fury, the United States government
has just completed construction Of
light station aid to mariners five
miles east Of this point.
This new beacon will warn all
shipping from the dangerous Saw
tooth reef, which parallels ,Kewee-
nav point for many miles at dis
lance from a few feet to three or
more miles from shore and on
which lie the bones and jettsoned
cargoes of scores of steamers and
sailing vessels.
Millions of dollars in boat losses
and dozens of deaths of sailors and
passengers are laid to Sawtootl
reef, which is wholly concealed be-
meath the steel-blue waters of Lake
Superior. The new beacon is said
to be one of the most important
aids to navigation established on
the Great Lakes in 20 years.
Thousands of tons of iron or
nave been thrown into the lake
from ships that have stranded or
been storm driven onto the reef.
and some mariners have maintained
that its presence there causes seris,
GUS DETECTION in the compass of
ship approaching that vicinity. In
fact, more than one wreck on Saw
tooth has been laid to this circnm-
stance.
