Many. of these men will be utilized as speakers to describe some of the benefits accruing to the fighting men by reason of the presence of the Red Cross in the field of hostilities.
 During the first part of the cam paign there will be a house-to-house canvassing for Red Cross member ships under a distinct arrangement: but on the last twe days district lines will be. disregarded and former service men as well as women volunteer workers will take up their tasks with rowing commissions Not only are discharged service men wanted as Red Cross canYassers but State and National Guardsmen are urged to enroll as quickly as possible. The Red Cross welcomes assistance of all former Army and Navy officers and men who approved of the work of the Red Cross during the war

A Preliminary campaign is being wcged through text posters and other printed matter that has been sent to throughout the country,
 Red Cross officials are stressing the point that the drive is to be made for memberships only and that no appeal is contemplated wherein the general public will be asked for funds. An encouraging number of public spirited men and women through the division already have applied at Red Cross Chapters asking 3 renews!. $. their memberships for next year.

EDUCATION YOUNG MAN
 ACCIDENTALLY SHOT

N
 John Smith, 19 years old, son of
 Mrs. Bailey Smith, of near Boughton, was shot in the, left, thigh yesterday morning about 10:30 by another young man named Irwin Stockton, about 19 years old, when a revolver which was being handled by Stockton, was acci- 'dentally discharged. Drs. Buchanan and Hirst of this city were summoned and the young man was brought to the Park Sanitarium here where his wound was dressed, but the. ball from the revolver was not located. The physicians will make an X-Ray ex- animation to locate the bullet
 Witnesses say that the young men, both of whom are good friends, had a $. & w. 38 revolver cleaning it up and playing with it, the gun being
 unloaded at first. Smith is said to have taken the gun and asked Stock ton how he would. like for him to shoot him, and after a few minutes Stockton in turn took the unloaded gun and slipped cartridge in the magazine and asked Smith how he

 Judging from the comedy that is arising over the deep mud. in the streets of Hope since the heavy and incessant rains, the people of our pro gressive little neighbor city must either be trying to slam it into some body who is responsible for the un- paved streets or else the inhabitants Iof the municipality are dyed-in-the- wool cptimists with a real sense of humor. One man came to Prescott yesterday and said that he saw with his own eyes man dressed in a hunting costume, sitting in a boat with gun raised expectantly to his shoulder as if expecting some geese to be floating around. We like to have forgot to state that this scene was in the middle of one of Hopes prominent streets.

 Why do the large business con cerns, with an established trade; set aside certai namount of money each year for the purpose of newspaper advertising? They believe that by always reaching out and keeping. their lines before the public, the pub lie will buy more, the firm will pull new customers their way, and the public always knows at a glance what they have in stock.

one billion dollars. Well it might be
well to take on the oversubscription,
for we are assured that Railroad Admin
istrator Hines will require just that
sum to make up his deficit importation.
Despite the increased rates for both
passenger and freight traffic may be
it is because of these rates the volume
of business done is constantly growing
smaller. Not only this but expenses are
increasing by leaps and bounds.
This is accounted for not only by the
increased wages granted but by the-in-
creased number of employees. Govern
ment reports show that there were
145, 900 more employees engaged on the
government operated railways in De-
cember. 1913, than in December, 1917,
this greater number performing con-
siderably less work than did the smaller
number in 1917.
Where is this prodiga expenditure
going to end? We see decreasing rev
enues and increased expenditures, the
latter taken care of by bond issues, and
we are not so sure after all that the
last bond issue has been resorted to.
When the next is ordered, what will it
be called? We have had Liberty
Loans" and Victory Loans" and
which in reality have been Waste
Loans" and we are wondering. Why
not call the next loan by its right name
and designate it as ''The Inefficiency
Loan" For be very sure that unless
there is a radical change in the manage
ment of affairs another bond issue is
going to be necessary and that, too, at
no distant day.

eff the American Democracy actually
accepts the present terms of peace as
its own, said the Herr President
Ebert, speaking for the Hun, to the
Associated Press correspondent, 1T be
comes an accomplish and abettor of
political blackmailers it surrenders
the traditional American principle of
fair play and craftsmanship "
The Hun, this perjured violater of the
most solemn pledges this ravsher of
girls and kindergarten children; this
wholesale murderer of aged men. of
priests at the altar and of women with
babies in their arms this creature who
at the point of the bayonet drove off
tens of thousands of men to slavery and
of women to enforced debasement
this common thief and incendiary this
dynamiter of hospitals wherein lay the
sick the manned and the dying this
skulking assassin of the high sease !;
this international brigand who in cold
blood and of calculated purpose made
shambles of the world to crafty his
beastly greed for plumber and power
this unspeakable Caliban of nations,
now rendered impotent, has the I'M
speakable elTrontery to whine about
American fair play" and American
sportsmanship" He has not had fair
play, That much may be granted. Had
he had fair play, his own country would
have been laid waste with fire and
sword the horrors upon horrors which
he heaped upon every land which his
cave-dweller barbarians swarmed over
would have been visited upon his own
country. In the very nature of things,
he could not and can not have fair play.
Fair play for the Hun means another
Hun horde to see that it is administered
And in all the world. where, outside of
the Huns own borders, could such
horde of gorillas be recruited? No
there can not be fair play for the Hun.
Mankind has not sunk low enough to
intlct it,
And this welcher, this sniveling loser
in the game of butchery and arson to
which he challenged the world, has now
the Supplying insolence to swagger and
buster about "spcrtsmanship" Far
be it from us to say that this is the limit
of Hun blackguardism. 1t probably
isn't. Hun blackguardism has no limit
The only limit reached in this last speci-
men is the limit of the imagination to
conceive a higher flight of insolence or
a lower depth of barbarian infamy.
