One of the most erroneous i'm
pressions that has got about con
corning the work of the Red
Cross Home Service is that It is
restricted to the disabled soldier
of the United States. Soldier
sailor marine army nurse; il
doesn't matter in the least. Just
so you were in the service oil
Uncle Sam, and became disabled
in that service, the Red Cross
will help you to obtain the com
pensation and the hospital treat
ment and-if you want 1.-THE
vocational training that the gov
eminent offers.
In the Southern, Division, for
example, there are six nurses,
their health impaired by tuber-
culosis contracted or developed
during their service. All are
now receiving the regular com
pensation, in addition to hospital
treatment.
Any chapter of the Red Cross
will tell you about it; and where
and how to get medical treat
ment, if you need it; and the
proper money compensation, and
the vocational education, if you
want it.

Governor Milliken stated Thursday
that an engineer connected with the

on a tour of investigation outside
the State in an endeavor to Sc
cure a boat or boats for use between
Bath and Woolwich, the last Leg
islature having passed a measure
giving the State to take over the
rights and franchises of the Peo-
pies Ferry Co.
Governor Milliken said that at one
time there was but one boat in ex-
istence in the country which was
suitable for this work, as far as the
state Highway Department could as
certain, and that boat was badly in
need of repairs. 1t is planned to op-
crate two boats if possible.
IF there Is any demand for the
State to take over the ferry before
the boat or boats arrive. it will be

Woolwich will receive their pay for
their interest in the Peoples Ferry
Company as soon as the transfer is
made to the State.

ADJUSTMENTS
FEUD OF BLOOD
ENDS IN HAPPY
FAMILY UNION

Family feuds do not always end
happily. Some of them are fal
from ever coming out right" but in
1.-The Night Before Christmas" the
week end offering Of the LuttringeI
Stock Co. which was given it's first
presentation yesterday. there is the
happiest kind of an ending.
This desirable conclusion comes
however, only after the most spirited
kind Of action in which one young
man is killed and the other members
of the two families that are parties
to the quarrel are continually threat
ened with death.
Kentucky has always been deemed
a land of romance. There brave men
and beautiful women make their
home. There, too, love runs deeper
and hate wakes hotter than in any
other state perhaps. 1t is amid the
hills of Kentucky that the action of
1.-The Night Before Christmas" takes
place.
For the most part, the story cen
tiers around Jim Leighton Cal. Lut-
tringer) and Bessie Boon Cam

Then there came one of those SEEM
ingly trivial things that brought bad
blood between them. 1t became Il

man quickest on the draw coming off
the victor. Yet Notwithstanding this
enmity, Jim continued his love for
Bessie and she, though refusing to
admit it, still loved Jim. There
came a time when they were married
and youngster was born. But
still the old wound did not heai
among the other members of the
family. The Christmas season ap-
preached and then-well, it is hard
