II was the secret Of his strength and the
inspiration Of his greatest work. There
could be no room in a war cabinet for
two minds of that character, since the
present President has an almost identical
mental habit. The similarity of the
motives Of both men and the common ori-
gin Of their purposes make their differ
ences seem all the more regrettable.
What Roosevelt tried TO do in America
Wilson is trying to do for all humanity.
Colonel Roosevelt will be listed with
the truly great Presidents. He came
along in the nick Of time, as Washington,
Lincoln and Wilson have come, to shoul-
der exacting duties. He was the first
President after Lincoln to perform really
great services to the country. He left
us the Panama Canal and the greater
navy. But he left, too, ideals that have
inspired thousands Of men in every
branch of the public service.
1t is largely because Of Roosevelt that
the old sordid methods of conscienceless
political managers can never again be
solidly established in the United States.
The fact is in itself an adequate monu-
ment to one Of the greatest Americans
of the century.

RED CROSS GIRLS feed
THOUSANDS OF D0UGnB0YS

Since the armistice, twenty-five
canteens, operated by Red Cross Chap
ters in Idaho. Oregon, and Washing
ton have dispensed 23,37S gallons of
coffee, and 224,236 dozen sandwiches,
to soldiers, sailors, and marines en-
route. The hospitality Of these can
teens was accepted nine hundred thou
sand times, often by men who would
have gone hungry but for the Red
Cross service thus rendered. Figures
show that these men, through the
courtesy Of the Red Cross, drank g.
497 gallons of iced drinks; used $3.50
bars of soap, and 37,713 paper towels;
ate 57,491 chocolate bars, 16,629

During this time 1S47 sick men were
aided by the canteen, seventy-nine of ,

In the Soda Springs Country
Just up in the hills

In December, 1898, Frank Bow
man., Tom Conner and Sam Hammer
of Poplar, Idaho, near Heise Springs
went hunting big game In the mount
aims up the south fork Of Snake river
above Swan valley. Bowman and
Conner we're together on the lower
slope of some steep hills on the
south side of the river and on look
ing westward across the crest Of. q
peak, saw Hammer, perhaps half q
mile away, ON the crest of snow
bank just below the summet. He
stood looking for q few moments and
then jumped down over the edge Of
the snowbank to lower position on
the slope.
When Mr.. Hammers feet struck
the snow after the leap Of few feet,
the whole side of the mountain shot
toward the river at once. There was
a rush and q roar, and an immense
cloud of snow rose, and spread across
the canyon, filling it from side to
side. The roar echoed and rever-
berated among the hills as the cloud
Of snow cleared away. Bowman and
Conner were just at the edge Of the
slide, and as they looked about Mr..
Hammer was nowhere to be seen, tho
there was black object lying about
midway Of the great ridge Of snow
and rubbish that had come down,
and they hurried toward it.
The surface Of the snow in the
slide was very hard, and they were
able to run rapidly along over it. AS
they approached the dark object they
saw that it was Mr.. Hammers cap.

There are many instances Of how
this button, bearing upon q white

whose ruddy, optimistic countenance
was clothed with ruddy beard, asked

and II looked like mans hand and
foremarm. While they were going
towards 1t, more snow broke loose
and a mans head appeared, and then
a snowy form moved and q man
crawled forth upon the surface,
brushed the snow from its face and
blinked at things about him. His
hair was full Of snow and he had
snow In his nose, mouth and ears.
There was. snow packed In his
pockets and under his vest and
everywhere that high air pressure
filled with snow could cram It.
Mr.. Hammer described the senta-
ton of jumping over the edge of the
snOwbank and lighting on a swift
moving feather bed that carried him
away into cold plung and into
dreamland. There was o sensation
Of falling and floating and being
shot out Of a cannon and he did not
know what else. Then he suspected
that he was being held in one place,
and when he tried to move he could
only move one hand. Every other
part of him was as If he we're inside
of a cold casting. But as the one
hand wiggled it got to wiggling a
little farther toward the elbow, then
the elbow moved, then the upper arm
and he dug toward his head. The
suffocation kept him weak, but he
still dug and with his head he burst

arm he pushed and cracked it
farther. BY q great effort he broke
his body loose and found that he was

5. America Has Set the Pace In
World Red Cross Movement.
The League of Red Cross Societies
Of all nations has been formed through
the inspiration Of the Red Cross
achievement Of the United States.
This League has no executive power
whatever over the Red Cross OF any
nation, but will extend into every ma
ton the benefits of . national, volun-
tary Red Cross society on the Ameri-
can model, to deal with problems of
health and chiA welfare and to cope
with the relief problems that are so
pressing over SO great q part of the
earth's surface. Through these organ
nations many nations will meet their
own problems which would otherwise
be appealing to America for relief and
assistance. The United States, whose
people have shown the world how thus
to rise out Of despair into hope, must
keep the Red Cross banner floating
high. The success or failure of this
great world movement of practical
idealism will depend largely upon the
manner in which the American people
answer the THIRD RED CROSS
ROLL CALL.

With some help he was able to

or Naval hospitals, the American peo-
pie still give cheer, comfort and serv-
ice through their Red Cross.
In certain portions Of the Old World
the American Red Cross still feeds
and clothes the undernourished and
ragged babies, cares for the aged and
the infirm, and assists the people Of
these disease-ridden, famine-stricken,
war-ravaged countries to organize
their own resources. Since the sign
ing of the Armistice, this work has
steadily declined, but it is not by any
means fully completed.
2. The Red Cross Is the Disaster Re-
lief Agent Of the American People.
The speed and efficiency with which
the Red Cross met emergency needs
at Corpus Christi illustrated the value
Of nationwide Red Cross organization.
