JUNIOR RED CROSS
WORK FLOURISHES
Increase of Over a Hundred Per
Cent in the Number of County
Organizations

An INCREASE of over hundred per
cent in the number of Junior Red
Cross organizations in the county has
been reported as the result Of the
work done at the Teachers Institute
at the Agricultural School last week.
When the Institute opened on Mon
day there we're twenty-five Junior
Red Cross organizations in the coun-
ty; and by Friday twenty-six addi-
tional teachers had pledged them
selves to form societies in their
schools. This meant that Junior Red
Cross work is now being carried on
in the schools of all the teachers pres
ent except two.
The organization dues are 25 cents
year, and so per cent Of the money
is sent abroad to help the refugees in
the war-stricken territory, while 40
per cent is to be kept for local child
welfare work-all of this latter
amount will be donated to the county
nurse fund If it is necessary to do so.

New "Auto" for Post Office

It's not exactly an auto, but it has
at least one characteristic of an
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.; it has to be
pushed. Less imaginative mortals
might call it a pushcart for deliver
ing parcel post packages from the
postoffice 1t has an imposing green
top which locks-three red wheels
and is manipulated by one-man
power; the man being S. J. Gutter.
The post office regards it's new equip
ment in the light of Christmas
present from head quarters. 1t
comes under the head of useful and
practical gifts" for with the heavy
Christmas mail coming in, it will
prove to be a great help. The car
rier takes the cart to some conven-
lent corner, takes out the parcels to
be delivered in that neighborhood,
locks the cover of the cart, and
leaves it until he is ready to take out
more parcels for delivery.
The postoff1ce also reports the re-
ceipt of new bailing press-the Off
cial post office stocking must be a
large one.

Donald Lime Has Narrow Escape

Little Donald Lime, aged three,
narrowly escaped asphyxiation from
coal gas on Thursday afternoon of
last week. The child was seated at
the table in the dining room, when
Edna Hawkinson who was with him,
noticed that he became suddenly very
sleepy. She called Mrs. Lime, who
was at the bakery, on the telephone,
When Mrs. Lime came home, Donald
was sleeping. She smelled the gas
as she came into the house, and took
the little boy outdoors to revive him.

which had become over heated.

Is Armenia Worth Saving?

Her past record says yes!
Do you know of the valuable ser
vice this little race rendered civiliza-
tion in the great World War?
- James w. Gerard tells us
'In the beginning Of the war the
Armenians turned deaf ear to the
Turkish offer for autonomy" in con-
sideration of their united support
of the Turco-German forces"
In 1917, when the Russian army
fell back from the Caucasus Front,
completely demoralized, the Armen-
ians improvised force Of $4,000
men, and, altho vastly outnumbered;
held back the invading Turk on a
front $50 miles long for seven long
months.
Say, American Brother, let's do
something now to save Armenia.

ANXIOUSLY WAITING
FOR SANTA CLAUS
Letters Sent to the North Pole Have
Already Been Recorded and
Returned to Morris

Santa Claus clerical force has been
tremendously busy during the past
few days, sorting out his mail, not
ing the contents, and returning the
letters, in some instances, to parties
who made arrangements beforehand.
The Tribune has put in it's name for
all the lettersewhich come from Nor
delivery from the North Pole today.
Undoubtedly, others have been sent,
but there is no one, we are sure, who
would not excuse the busy Office men
toned above for any "slips" at this
season of the year.
It is possible that the youthful
writer's of the following epistles en-
.ployed letter-writers to aid them in
these most important of all communi-
cations, for the two letters show a
remarkable similarity to one other.
The first one reads as follws:
-.-~ Morris, Minnesota,
December 10, 1919.
Dear Santa Claus:
Please will you bring me gun
and some candy and nuts.
I hope you will get down the
chimney all right. Thank you dear
Santa for all the present.
Anxiously waiting, I am =
Your little,
Paul Halvorson.
And the second one is quite as
modest and solicitous of the welfare
of Santa:
Morris, Minnesota,
December 10, 1919.
Dear Santa Claus:
Please will you bring me a car
that runs and some candy and nuts.
I hope you will get down the
chimney all righ. Thank you dear
Santa, for all the presents.
Anxiously waiting, I am
Your little friend,
Henry Ringness.
There can scarcely be doubt in
the mind of anyone, that Stanta,
strengthened by the good wishes
and faith of such little ones as these,
will be able to "get down the chin
ney all right" this year.

"THE COUNTY NURSE"
SUBJECT OF ADDRESS
Miss Amalia Bengston Speaker at
Officers Meeting; Each School
to Buy 1000 Christmas Seals

An excellent talk on county health
work in the Renville county schools
was given by Miss Amalie Bengston
at the School Officers meeting held
at the Agricultural School on Satur-
day.
Miss Bengtson who is county sup
erintendent of the Renville schools,
started the movement for a county
nurse three years ago. She met with
opposition, but finally presented the
matter to the county commissioners.
They asked what would be the least
amount with which she could begin
the work, and she answered $500.
This paid only the salary of r the
nurse, and Miss Bengston herself took
care of her transportation to the
schools; they went out in all kinds
of weather during the severe storms
of three years ago, over unbroken
roads, upon which even the mail-car-
riers had not ventured, and managed
to visit three schools a day. The
conditions they found were deplor-
able, and the speaker showed a chart
showing the great percentage of chill
dren who we're afflicted with the
most common of physical ills. Eye
trouble Gin some cases caused by in
effective lighting of the school build
ding), adenoids and diseased tonsils,
defective teeth, and ear-trouble were
the most prevalent.

boards.
At present Renville county has
two permanent school nurses, and is
planning to add third one to the
staff next year.

address by Supt. P. e. Miller also
centered on health work. 49, -'
After the talk by Miss Alice Florrer
on the Importance of phonics in the
teaching of reading, the school Off

reading manual dealing with this
subject for each teacher in the
county.

silent. Then she looked up with q
bright smile.

It was an exquisite gift that shone
up at her from the little white box
Christmas morning-a pink tourma-
line pendant set with pearls. Beneath
was Suzanne's card:
II bought it long ago because it
looked so like you, Nancy dear. But
1t is you who are giving me the real

Nancy lifted it to the light. It was
the loveliest thing she had ever had,
but the heart of the joy was that it
meant joy to Suzanne, too.-Youth's
