Women Busy In 1861.

The activities of women in war work
recalls the work Of the women during
the Civil war in little village of New
York. William H. Shelton, In a remi-
niscent article in Century. says:
sour village had decided opinion
about the war, and when the ladies
who had played battledore and shut
tlecOck wanted to do their bit in a
Red Cross way they selected the little
red cannon house as the scene Of
their activity. The yellow gun car
riage, with it's double trail, was
wheeled out upon the grass, its brass
gun actually pointing south, with the
round iron balls hard by in the port
able. chest, to make way for tables
and chairs. Here at fixed intervals
the ladies met to make havelocks and
pick lint. For the first they brought
good cotton drilling, and for the soft
.liht they scraped the oldest sheets and
pillow cases of fine, linen from their
grandmothers' wedding chests"

Where Cultivation Counts.

Most of us fiHd it too much trouble
to really cultivate ourselves. We cul-
tivate people whose. acquaintance We
think will make for our promotion and
advancement. We cultivate those
whom we think are powerful. We cul-
tivate the rich, the talented, the beau-
tiful outside of ourselves, without
realizing that real power, real distinc-
ton. comes from within. If we would
give as much time and attention to
making the best Of ourselves as we
give to those non-essential things
which hamper our progress we should
all reach the situation we admire in
others. For no man or woman ever re-
ceives the best of life as a gift
Exchange.

IDLE RICH BECOMING FEWER
Sons Of Men Who Have Amassed
Wealth Are Now Trained to
Succeed Their Fathers -.

It used to be said that 1t was only
three generations from shirt sleeves
to shirt sleeves. This meant that the.
man who worked hard and built up
his own fortune by taking off his coat
and digging in generally had son
who spent, all his money in idleness
and riotous living, and his sons SON
had to take off his coat and, like his
hardworking grandfather, go to work
TO make his own fortune, a writer in
the American Boy observes. But
things are different in these days. The
sons of rich men are trained to care
for money, trained in their fathers
business so that should their fathers
die they may be able to step in and
continue the work, aided by competent
assistants. Other young men, when
they get through college, begin to
work their way up so that they will
know all the ropes of their fathers
business. Many young man who is
heir to millions has worked side by
side with sons of poor laboring men,
and worked quite as hard and for the
same wages.
The juRiors in American business
today are making splendid showing.
Never in the history of the country has
there been so great number of able
young men, sons of milliOnaires, who
have worked and are now working
hard-much harder than the average
young chap who has quit school and
gone to work to support himself. 4

RICH LAND YIELDS LITTLE
Mosquito Coast Might BE Made One OF
the Most Productive Regions .sg
OF the Earth.

If Columbus could return today to
the Mosquito coast which he once
discovered he would find II only slight
" changed after four centuries. Co
ldmbus was so favOrably impressed by
his visit to Nicaragua that he attempt
ed to establish a settlement on the
Mosquito coast. His project fell
through, not, as might be supposed,
by reason OF the name of the region,
for that name was not given it by Coz
lumbus, but Is corruption of the
name of the Indian tribe that inhabits
the strip of land.
Mosquito coast has disappointed
other promoters of colonies also, and
refuses to be turned into bustlfng,
commonplace trade center. 1t has
made few concessions in the way Of
small towns which seem composed of
accidental collections of huts. Else
where its rivers sweep down from the
protecting mountain ranges at the back
and flow at will throughout the level
lowland of the coast strip. AS they
near the shore they break into wide
lagoons, marsh bound and desolate.
The country is like the Nile valley in
fertility of soil and flooded plains,
but unlike that intensively cultivated
district in productiveness. There is
much casual farming on the dry land
of the coast, and the results arouse
wonder as to what might be done by a
middle-western famer with an mex
haustible fund of energy and resource

COMMUNICATED
o ALL BRANCHES:

TO ALL BRANCHES:
Our. attention has just been called
to the fact that the children of the
Junior Red Cross of one of our
Branches, being unable to complete
the allotment of sewing sent to them,
paid some women to do the work for
them.
While we do not doubt that those
in charge of this Junior Red Cross
intended very well, the incident is
most unfortunate for it is not only
contrary to the policy of the Amer
lean Red Cross, but creates criticism
from those who may infer that many
of the workers making Red Cross
articles are paid for their services.
Of the many carloads of knitted
goods hospital and refugee garments,
and surgical dressings shipped from
this Chapter this is the first time we
have known of labor on these gar
ments being paid for. Much of the
power of the American Red Cross
has come because it has represented
the willing service of thousands of
American women, given for the sake
of humanity.
We feel sure that this incident was
merely a matter of misjudgement
and that it will not occur again, but
we are sending this letter to you
hoping that it will help to correct any
false impression the public may have
regarding the work of the American
Red Cross and those in charge of it.
We hope you win cooperate with US
in giving publicity to the fact that
the American Red Cross is volun-
teer organization composed of women
who work without remuneration.
Very truly yours,
DULUTH CHAPTER AMERICAN
RED CROSS.
