Cross begins. Therein lies the value
Of the Red Cross as humanitarian
organization. Everywhere the dough-
boy goes, his characteristic praise Of
the Red Cross goes with him, and
it usually resolves itself into one sig
nificant sentence, "What would we do
without the Red Cross"
Fifty-one per cent of all the "in-
juries or disabilities" so-called to
American fighting men were received
in camps; only 1912 per cent in battle
and 48.8 per cent from other sources.
These figures, compiled by the Federal
Board of Vocational Training and the
War Risk Insurance bureau, says a
dispatch from Lake Division head
quarters, American Red Cross, show
the extent of the havoc wrought by
the influenza epidemics.
Ninely-two American Red Cross
hospital huts, with total personnel
of 274, were in operation in France at
the beginning of the year. Most of
the huts have stages and scenery, in
addition to pianos, victrolas and games
of all sorts. Special foods and sweets
are also to be had at these sunshine
stations. Ask your favorite doughboy
what he thinks of the huts. Ten to
one he'll launch a praise barrage that
will leave you dizzy.
Good news for discharged soldiers
Of Medina county has been received
from Lake Division headquarters by
the Home Service section in the Ga
zette block. The executive secretary
is ready to help soldiers convert their
war risk insurance into permanent
policy. Application blanks have been
received from National headquarters.
Sample policies and lists of answers
to questions that may be puzzling you
are also on hand. The premium rate
for government insurance proved to
be much lower than for commercial
policy of the same kind. Your in
surance is the best kind of investment
for the future. Soldiers, keep it up!
Application blanks for additional
travel pay have been received.
During the last three months 3,735
disabled soldiers in Ohio, Indiana and
Kentucky applied for some form of
vocational training to fit them for
future usefulness, according to the
latest monthly report to congress
made by the Federal Board of Voca-
tional Education.
American Red Cross Home Service
workers report that soldier boys in
almost every city in the three states
are studying some new profession or
trade which will make it possible for
them to earn in most cases more
money than before the war. In train
ing the disabled men the federal board
makes use Of schools nearest the SOL
dier's home to supply the kind Of edu-
cation he desires. Everything from
barbering to law is included in the
category Of studies Lake Division
boys are taking.

CALL AT RED CROSS HDQS.

The executive secretary of the Home
Service Section of the Red Cross, with
headquarters in the Gazette block,
announces that she is ready to help
all returned soldiers convert their war
risk insurance into permanent policy.
Heretofore this had been impossible
owing to lack Of application blanks.
Applications blanks for additional
travel pay have also been received and
can be obtained at the same place.

THE RED CROSS
Red Cross Peace Program

Experts of five nationalities in con-
ference at Cannes, France laid the
ground work for the mitigation of suf-
fering throughout the world and drew
up plans for the League of Red Gross
societies in international organization
with headquarters at Geneva, Switz-
erland.
The peace program for committees
like ours has not been announced as
yet further than the Home Service
department for soldiers and their fam
lilies. Medina county Office has some
very busy days in it's efforts to ex-
plain the advisability of holding war
risk insurance and to make vocational
changes for soldiers who on account of
disability incurred in service find
themselves unable, to Garry on" for
mer work; truly the problems Of SOL
diers are many and varied but Miss
Wells is willing to tackle them.
This community does not need to
wait the anticipated visit of a Chau-
tauqua Red Cross nurse to have ex-
planned the urgency of our need Of a
visiting nurse and an organized aux
iliary to take care Of and in a great
measure prevent the costly experience
of last winter. The procrastination
thief works overtime.
Community Reconstruction
Just now Reconstruction" is a
much used word. It is good word
and applicable to not only to war
ridden countries but to every village
and four corners Of "God's country"
Sanitation: cleaning up Of the old
influenza ridden dust of yester year,
which is clogging our throats and the
June vegetation, making the commun-
ity more healthful and a safer, saner
place, that is reconstruction and it is
OUR work not THEIRS.
To be continued.

unexpected consignment Of sewing
last Week-200 night-gowns. No time
limit being set for completion Of the
work. Mrs. Phillips, chairman Of
sewing will not distribute them before
July in order that Red Cross workers
may enjoy months well-eamed va
cation.
One Ohio soldier is already receiv-
ing the benefit of the gift of the Elks
lodge for vocational training Of dis
charged fighting men.
A sum of $4,000 has already been
placed at the disposal Of Mr.. w. F.
Shaw, Mercantile Bldg, Cincinnati,
acting district vocational officer for
training soldiers who are not compen-
sible, but who deserve the opportunity
Of taking vocational training. The ap-
preparation of the Elks lodge will
make it possible for many discharged
men in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky

Horses at State Fair

Missouri's State Fair at Sedalia
had the best exhibition of saddle
horses that was seen at any state
fair or live stock show last year &C.
cording to the opinion of many un-
prejudiced visitors. The horses and
exhibitors were taken care of in
good shape, classes were well filled
and the judging was satisfactory
The crowds were interested and
entertained.
Present indications are that this
years show from August 9-16, will
be even bigger and better than last
year. Premiums are larger than
last year; interest in saddle horses
is increasing; and better prices are
bein 6 received for saddle horses and
the demandsis broader and more
sta BILE than ever before. The close
of theswar has given the business a
Stimulous and men are beginning
to realize that high-class saddle
horses are extremely scarce.
The exhibitor who has either
breeding stock or finished horses to
sell will find a most interested
audience at the Missouri State Fair
People in search of horses 90 there;
and if all the sales that have been
made as a result of an exhibition
at the Missouri State Fair were
known, the list would be long and
it would include some animals oi
national reputation.
If man wants to buy a saddle
horse to ride or for breeding pur
poses, he can see more young horse:
with their lives before them and vel
sound and ready at the Missouri
State Fair than at almost any otheI
place in America.
1t IS not show of few stella
performers, altho these are present
but it is show made up by breed
ers. developers and exhibitors who
are keeping saddle horse purchaser:
supplied with what they want.

There is one class of laborers who
never strike and seldom complain
They get up at 5 o'clock in the
morning and never get back to bed
until 10 or II o'clock at night; they
work without ceasing the whole of
that time, and receive no other em
ploylnent than food and the plain
est kind of clothing; they understand
something of every branch of econ.
omy and labor, from finance to
cooking; though harassed by hun
dred responsibilities, though driven
and worried, though reproached
and looked down upon they never
revolt, and they cannot organize
for their own protection. Not even
sickness releases them from their
posts. No sacrifice is deemed too
great for them to make and no in.
competency in any branch of their
worked is excused No essays. books
or poems are written in tribute to
their steadfastness. They die in

who played with match, lies dead.
The accident occurred Sunday.
About seven O'Clock wealthie. who is
the daughter of railroad bookkeeper
living at 1927 Norwood street, came
into the house.
"It's time for you to go to bed
she was told, but Wealthie wanted
few minutes more of play. There
was a great experiment which she
must try before she could sleep-an
experiment with match. which she
is thought to have taken from neigh
boris apartment.
Found Writhing on Grass.
In about ten minutes Miss Lasette
Calmelat, a guest of Wealthie's moth
er, heard screams coming from the
direction of the alley. She rushed to
the rear door, but by that time the
sounds came from the front of the
house. Hurrying to the sidewalk. she
found little Wealthie writhing on the
grass, severely burned. lWo poys
were bending over her.
Miles Devine, fourteen-year-ol son
of John ]. Devine. 124S Norwood
street, was playing ball with James
Fitzgerald, 1852 Norwood street, who
is two years his junior.
"Suddenly," said Miles, "I heard
screams, and she came running out

she ran toward him. He tripped her,
and we both rolled her on the grass
to smother the flame. I beat out
some of 1t with my hands. Then a
man came along and carried her into
the house"

Miles said that he had learned how
to handle such cases by reading the
Boy Scout Manual, although he is not
a member of that organization.
Wealthie's death occurred late Mon
day night at the Lakeview hospital.
On the operating table she told her
father how she had taken match
from a neighbor's home and lit piece
of paper with it.
But there were few moments OF
sane Consciousness. Mostly she talked
