CANADA TO HAVE new COIN
Visiting Americans viii De oad That
Clumsy One-Cent Piece 10 to
Be Abolished.

New Englanders who visit Cam
ada, as many of them do and as
more of them should, will be glad to
Learn that the Dominion is about to
mint new 1-cent piece which, the
officials say. will be slightly larger
and somewhat thinner than the 10
cent piece which Canada now has
and which is twin of the United
States dime. This description indi-
Gates that the new cent will be of the
size of that common in this country.
This will relieve the Yankee WIS.,
itors Of the physical labor and mem
tai anguish attendant upon filing
their pockets with the immense cents
which Canada has hitherto pro-
duced, and which must have con-
tributed much to the scarcity Of cop
per now noticed in America. They
we're much too large, for with 8
dozen of them on his person the
tourist felt overloaded; with hun
dred he was admirably equipped for
suicide by drowning. Nothing more
e1ssperating in the way Of coins Of
little value could be thought of ex-
cept the minute silver 5-cent piece
which Canada continues to issue.
TO retire the mammoth cent is
certainly step in the right direc-
tion.-Hartford Courant.

Charmed, Pm sure" said the
general CALAMITY.
"Well, it's like this. There are
eight men in a squad"
"Your intimate grasp Of army life
surprises me" the general bowed.
"And the army is made up of just
squads and squads and squads and
squads"
"Your military phraseology
amazes me-" said the general.
"Well, my idea is-why not make
squads out of six men instead of
eight, and then the army would have
just as many squads and not nearly
80 many men to pay"
"Squffx" choked the general, and
staggered off to lean his fevered
brow against the grateful GOODNESS of

HAVE A WING, COLONEL

The colored one had come to
Camp Custer from West Virginia,
and had been issued his uniform. As
he passed down Harmonic road, he
admired himself muchly, gIancing
down at his bright new tan shoes
and pulling up his "peg-tops" every
so often. An officer came along, but
the latest arrival was so engrossed
with his personal appearance that he
failed to notice him.
Here, my man." said the colonel,
"why don't you salute? Don't you

PLAYED IN FACE OF DEATH
Amazing Strength Of Ruling Passion
Shown by Confirmed Chess
"Fiends" at the Front.

That your real enthusiast is never
damped is amply borne out even un-
der the vilest conditions of warfare.
AT the front the inveterate hair-oil-
er, mustache-waxer and manicurist
existed. There was even found the
man who must have his cold bath
every morning, though mug and
little water are his only toilet ac-
cessories. He is known to fame
who, losing all else, emerges trium-
phantly from every battle with his
old violin. Nor is he unknown who
will practice the latest revue song
while his comrades can think of
nothing but imminent death. Even
the chess fend survives. Two such
having failed to conclude a game
played at odd moments throughout
the day seated themselves on the
parapet where the light was some
what better than in the trench be-
low. A high explosive shell rudely
terminated the game by blowing the
antagonists into the trench and scat
tering the chessmen. Unhurt, this
irrepressible pair picked themselves
up and Immediately fell into a vio-
lent alteration as to the respective
strengths of their positions reached
before the abrupt stoppage Of the
game. Thus, in the face Of real en-
thusiasms, a high-explosive shell
could stop the game, but could not
decide the issue.

oRoo FROM A SPRING.

In a recent auction sale Of books
in New York city attention was
called to a reprint copy Of John
Pope's "Tour of the Southern and

original book only two copies are
known to exist. 1t abounds in quaint
observations, one of which describes
the authors ascent of the Allegheny

RED CROSS IN THIS
DIVISION ALWAYS
HAS SET THE PACE
Simmons, Pointing to Remarkable
Record, Says He Hopes People
in This Section Will Main
tain Place In Front,

George W. Simmons, manager for
the Southwestern Division Of the
American Red Cross, in a statement
given out today said that he hoped the
Southwestern Division would continue
to set the pace in Red Cross activities.
in the past we have compelled the
other Red Cross divisions to follow us,
and | hope we will be able to say that
we have an unbroken record as the
leading division Of the country when
the calling of the roll is completed"
said Mr.. Simmons.
THE people of Kansas, Missouri,
Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma have
in the past nobly responded to all the
calls of the Red Cross, and in this
membership campaign to be held dur
ing the week Of Dec. 1923 I hope the
response will be similar to that in the
past.
viii 1t not be a great achievement
If every resident of the division Joins
the organization? It will mean that
for all time we can point to the five
states as being 100 per zen loyal to
its promises and pledges in both war
and peace.
THE Red Cross must continue to
give comfort and cheer to the soldiers
and sailors overseas and those in the
camps in America.
while the Red Cross will continue
to aid the stricken of Europe, we must
not neglect preparation for the care OF
our W people should an emergency
arise.
THE women of the five states have
given their time to making surgical
dressings, refugee garments and to
knitting thousands Of articles given
soldiers and sailors and the poor of
Europe by the organization, and to fail
to answer the roll cali at this time
would reflect on their generous efforts.
1T does not appear necessary for
me, as manager Of this great institu-
ton in this great division, to appeal to
the people in this division to Join. be.
cause | feel convinced they will re-
spond. I merely ask that the loyal
supporters Of the organization-the
men, women and children who have
made the work Of the Red Cross posi-
ple-set forth the facts to their
friends, SO that when the membership
campaign period 10 over we can call to
the attention Of the world that every
resident Of Missouri. Kansas, Texas.
Arkansas and Oklahoma Is a member
Of America,s greatest institution
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1919-01-09

might serve their country. but have
realized such a satisfaction TO them
selves in the opportunity to serve man
kind that they now desire to become a
part of the permanent peace organiza-
ton Of the American Red Cross.
There may, therefore, be perfect
confidence that the peace activities Of
the Red Cross will be conducted under
able and inspiring leadership. The
chapters will maintain their organiza-
tons upon a scale adequate to the new
demands to be made upon them. Local
committees will indeed appreciate
more and more the value. of having in
their midst strong and efficient Red
Cross Chapters. The divisional organi-
cations, with honorary and permanent
stats, will be maintained, always
ready for service, and national head
quarters will have a large and eff
Gent personnel to direct the activities
Of the organization as a whole.
Study is being given by the national
organization not alone to problems of
international relief, but to plans in this
country for enlarged home service, the
promotion of public health education,
development of nursing, the care and
prevention of accidents, and other cor
related lines which may contribute to
the health and happiness of men, wom-
en- and children. Such plans, when
developed, will, it is believed, provide
both for world relief and for home
community service and thus constitute
a channel for the continued and useful
expression by Red Cross workers and
members of those qualities of sym
pathy and love which our whole people
have poured out so unstintedly during
this war.
For the completion of its war work
and for the institution of its peace pro-
gram, the Red Cross is fortunately is
a healthy financial condition. Album
dant occasion for the use of large
funds of money and great quantities of
garments and other supplies will con-
tinue to arise, but it is believed that
tAOAC Will NC III lAC1 ACSu lOI l1lGl-
sive campaigns for funds. The work
of supplementing governmental activi-
ties which the Red Cross will be called
upon to do in all parts of the world
will be upon a great scale, but it will
call for human service rather than for
large expenditures.
What the American Red Cross
needs now is not so much contribu-
tons of money as the continued devo-
ton and loyalty of it's members. This
is peculiarly true at this moment of
transition from war to peace. Annual
membership involves the payment of
only one dollar. The money thus re-
ceived not only will defray all the ad-
ministrative expenses of the organiza-
ton, but will leave it a substantial bal
ance which, together with all funds
subscribed directly for relief, is de-
voted solely to that purpose.
"The roll call of the nation is thus
to be called at Christmas time, that
through enrolment in their Red Cross
the, American people may send a mes
sage to u soldiers still overseas and
to the people of the world that we are
not merely content with seeing our
arms united with our allies in victory,
but that u abiding purpose is that
the love, the sympathy and the intelli-
gence of all America shall be rededi-
Gated to the permanent service of
mankind"

Due to the increasing congestion of

ever is being placed on the ability of
a car to accelerate rapidly. The ap-
parent advantages of being able to
"get away" instantly are appreciated
by the motorist who desires to take
advantage of breaks in traffic on the

Throughout the period of restriction
during the war there was some talk
of disseminating the 33x5-inch tire as
standard tire. This is the size re-
quired for the Cole aero-eight. Now
that the war is over, however. word
comes that the 32x41a-inch rims have
been put into class "a" by the Wal
Industries Board and the users OF
33x5-inch cord tires can put their
minds at rest They are assured that
they can get 33X5-inch tires when
