war footing to a peace footing, but a
general program has been mapped out,
to be adjusted and readjusted as needs
require, for chapter, division and ma
tional organizations.
Between Nov. 2 and II the Red
Cross will call its roll for the third
time and ask the people to give a vote
Of confidence In the past performances,
and a reaffirmation Of the principles
which will guide its progress in the
future.
The war activities have not all been
stopped, and will not be stopped until
the last American soldier Is home and
able once again to take his place In tn
business or industrial world. The sol
dier's family also must be cheered ant
comforted and assisted until he is
able to care for them. No program
can be laid down by the Red Cross
that does not include this unfinished
war work as first obligation.
Ever since the organization Of the
Red Cross there have been responsible
tiles which now have become tradi-
tional. These include service to the
standing army and naval forces. miti-
cation Of suffering either at home or
abroad from famine, FIRE. floods or
great disasters. The Red Cross also
must continue and broaden its work
In the field Of nursing, maintain its
courses In first aid, dietetics and home
care Of the sick.
New responsibilities have come with
the war. Higher standards have been
set up by individuals and nations in
regard to human life saving, and pre-
venting needless suffering. In con.
nection with the new tasks these re-
sponsibilities entail, the Red Cross will
assist, stimulate and supplement, but
not supplant, local agencies engaged
In the same lines Of endeavor.
The volunteer spirit which brought
such a measure Of success during the
war, will be carefully nurtured. We
will need volunteers to conduct the
Third Roll Call and when emergencies
arise we will call for volunteers to
assist If necessary.
The Third Roll Call in the Central
Division will be held to enroll 4,00O,-
600 annual dollar members for 1920
and to raise 100000 In the five
states in the division. Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Every membership is vote Of con-
fldence In the Red Cross, each dollar
means the lifting of some burden.
The Red Cross needs universal CO.
operation In carrying out its peace
program. 1t needs the hearts Of the
millions who enrolled during the sec
ond roll call.
1t needs YOU.

Reprisal on some weaker peasant

TRUTH ABOVE ALL THINGS
IncomparabIy the Best Business Asset
That Man or Firm Can
Possess.

A successful merchant, when asked
the question, "What is the best asset
of a business house" said: "The best
asset business house can possess is
a reputation for absolute truth"
Such was the exhortation- lately
given to young man who has yet to
arrive, by veteran who, IN weli-earn-
ed retirement, can comfort himself
with the reflection that ne has
been one Of the most successful BUSH
ness men of the age.
To the cynic advice Of this quality
may seem, perhaps, to call up shades
of George Washington at the period
when "he couldn't tell a lle" But
men of sense long ago have realized
that, even should they brush the ques-
ton of morals aside and be content to
argue the matter from its lowest and
most cynical standpoint, the truth-tell-
ing policy still remains the best; in
fact, the only possible working policy
for the man who aims at any definite
and lasting success In business.
The truth-teller is, in short, the man
who stands to make good in the bust
ness field; he is the only man who
counts to any really vital extent.

SEEMS TO DEMAND SOLUTION
Mystery Surrounding Green Bottle
Found in Cornerstone of Building
Puzzles Antiquarians.

Springfield antiquarians are as in
terested as the weather will permit
over the discovery in the cornerstone
of one of the armory buildings of IAN
ancient green bottle" to quote from
the printed description of the find. 1t
is said that it closely resembles an
oldtime rum bottle, except that Its
surface is covered with what are al
legged to be Masonic characters, says
the Hartford Courant. Fragments OF
a cork were found, but the bottle con-
tanned no fluid, not even an odor.
That the bottle was empty when
found affords no ground for surprise
but that It's surface Is completely COW
cred by Masonic characters may give
rise to much speculation. Had it been
covered or partially covered with
characters which indicated that 1t once
contained distilled liquor from the
West Indies there would have been
little cause for speculation, inasmuch
as such bottles and such spirits were
common a hundred years ago when
the cornerstone was supposed to have
been put in place.
That the bottle was put In place
while empty suggests thrifty dispo-
sition on the part Of the builders.

Learning to Drum.

How Haydn learned to beat drum
and the preservation of the first one
he played make an amusing story.
There was to be a great church festi
val, including a procession through the
streets in which the choriSterS were as
q matter of course to take part, but
the drummer falling. i'll, no one could
be found to take his place until the
director called for Joseph Haydn,
showed him how to make the stroke
and left him alone. Joseph found

top, set it on a stool and began %
drum away with such vigor that the
stool was soon overturned and him.
self covered with meal. But the
stroke was learned and the spectators
of the Pre- cession found their gravity
unduly taxed by the sight of little
fellow of six years beating big drum
carried before him by hunch-back,
since a bearer Of ordinary stature
would have raised the instrument far
out Of the drummer's reach. The drum
used on that occasion by Haydn is
still preserved in the choir of the
church at Hamburg.

Most Beautiful Masterpieces Are

The average American

The two capital cities Of central

which for their grace, decorations and
grandeur, are precious documents Of

tiles, azure, purple and saffron, heap

the Islam law, the representation of

Unfortunately, the Moslems did not
construct for permanency, in marble,
like the Greeks. The enamel tiles Of
the facades are rapidly falling away,
the walls of clay are disintegratins
and the broken roofs furnish asylums
for birds. The natives, indolent and
fatalist, shrug their shoulders and con-

A famous prima donna had two
rooms of her town house decorated
with what she called, The records of

To be translated, this meant that
her bedroom was papered with leaves
of music from the operas in which
she had won fame and fortune, and
that her dining room was similarly
decorated with the hotel bills she had
collected-and paid-in every country

an had many admirers, either for her
self or her possessions, and received
piles of love letters. She decided to
