RED CROSS SERVING DISCHARC-
ED SOLDIERS IN MANY WAYS.

"Say, Sam, did you ever get that
Liberty bond you paid for?"
"No."
'Neither did I. l wonder when
Uncle Sam is coming through
with it."
This conversation, or one like it,
is taking place these days between
hundreds of "pals" in the service, or
Just discharged from it. Various
difficulties have been experienced by
soldiers in getting the bonds for
which they have paid.
To overcome this condition the
American Red Cross has come to the
rescue. All any soldier who wants
his bond needs to do henceforth is to
inform representative of the Red
Cross. Practically any contingency
causing delay has been guarded
against. The soldier must give the
representative all the information he
can and leave the rest to the associa-
ton, which will take up the matter
and see that prompt delivery is made
through registered mail.
The method is this, in brief: The
soldier assigns the delivery of his
bonds to the Red Cross representa-
tive, who obtains it from the bond
section of the zone finance office
and delivers it to the owner.
This is one of the many services
of this great organization which 10

What Would a Wagon
Be Without Wheels?

IT'S admittedly foolish question A
l wagon wouldn't be wagon without
wheels. 1t would be sleigh or just box. The
wheels make the wagon go. They are, therefore,
the most important part of a wagon. And they
stand the toughest usage Of any part Of the
wagon. They carry double load = a load on the
hub and load between the rim of the wheel and
the ground. To stand this strain they have to be
stronger than any other part of the wagon. And
the hub must be the strongest part of the wheel
it is the foundation of the wheel.
Weber Wagon hubs made of the best grade "A"
material and shaped with great by expert work
men. The Weber hub is equipped with collar that

Pointers as to the General EIec-
ton Ticket.

The general election to occur
on Tuesday, November 4th, is
fraught with interest to every
democrat in the State. The So
ClaliSt party has a candidate for
nearly all of the State offices
which are printed on the ticket.
L his party has grown in number
OF votes polled from election to
election for the past several years
and hopes TO show even a greater
strength than ever before in this
state on November 4th. OF
course, every democrat knows
that the nominees In the August
democratic primaries will be
overwhelmingly elected, but at
the same time every democrat
feels a party pride in polling
greater number of democratic
votes in this election than ever in
the States history. This brings
10 every democrat the duty he
owes his party TO 60 to the polls,
tuesday, November 4th. and
cast his vote for every democrat
&c nominee whose name is on
the ticket. A little instruction as
10 who the democratic nominees
are as their names are printed on
the ticket, is important and time
~ right here. On the ticket
where the instruction, vote for
one" occurs, the first name on
the ticket is the democratic nom
lnee; where the instruction saws.
vote for two" the first two
names are the democratic nom I
nees, and where the instruction,
says, vote for three" the first
three names on the ticket are the
democrats TO be voted for by
every democrat.
Every democrat in the State
should put all else aside and
make it the special duty of the
day. November 4th, 10 go to the
polls and vote a straight demo-
cratic ticket all the way through.
We want Monroe county 10 reg
lister more democratic votes in
the election Of 1919 than ever be-
fore. 1t will do it, if we all do
our duty.

Miss Susie V. Powell. in charge
of home economics work for Mis-
sissippi. has been named state d.

Miss Powell has had numerous tasks
of responsibility in connection with

discharging them. 1t is believed
that the thrift campaign, more inn

period than ever before. will be

The World Waits Upon Them.

The bulletins continually ema-
mating from Washington justify
the assumption that President
Wilson is a very sick man. The
inference that naturally follows
is that il will be weeks. or even
months before he will be able to
take up the strain of executive
work, which is now more siren
uous and portentious than at any
time in the history of the coun-
try. Not only are international
complications more completing
but the internal industrial unrest
IS more Ominous and portending
than eyer before.
To add to The uncertainty of
the situation Samuel p. Gompers,
the sanesf, most patriotic and con-
seTvatiye of all the labor union
leaders is threatened with over
strain and collapse.
Upon these two men rests the
stupendous responsibility ofsteer-
ing the nation safely out of the
maze of dangerous propagandas

pies of the civilized world. III

The world waits upon these

or mental perfection, might in

ASSOCIATION
GIVES employees INSURANCE
Big Y Organization Extends Profit
Sharing Plan to Cover
Insurance

Further extension Of the policy of
stabilizing employment conditions has
been announced by the directors of
the Yakima Fruit Growers association
in the form of group life insurance
covering all of its employees.
Since October II, when the directors
voted on this step, every employee,
from the general manager, thru the
offices to foremen, sorters, truckers
packers in the associations eleven
warehouses and cold storage plants
in the valley, has been protected by
life insurance policy for $1,000 each.
The insurance is payable to any
beneficiary named by the employee.
A policy is issued to each employee
without medical examination, this be-
cause of the division of the risk over
a large group. The only thing re-
quired of the employee is the filling in
of a blank giving essential informa-
ton, such as name, age, birthplace,
iation and name Of the beneficiary.
time of employment with the ASSOC
When an employee leaves the as
ISOLATION, the privilege is offered of
taking out ordinary life insurance at
the company's regular published rates
without medical examination.
New employees are issued policies
after being employed thirty days, this
short time clause making it possible
for a number of employees who work
only part of the year to get the
insurance protection.
About $50 employees are covered
by the insurance at the present time.
The policies are being issued by the
Equitable Life Assurance Society, and
are similar to those issued in Septem-
Der, 1918. to employees Of the Skim
ner & Eddy Corporation of Seattle,
one of the first and largest concerns
in the Northwest to adopt group in
surance.
The Fruit Growers Association in
january, 1918, adopted profit shar-
ing policy, under which all employees
who have worked continuously from
June to the following June receive a
bonus as a percentage Of their yearly
pay. The first bonus payments were
made in June, 1913, dating back to
June, 1917.

giving life insurance policies to en-
ployees for the same reason that they
