Third RED CROSS
ROLL CALL DRIVE
The President Urges Support
Of the Third Red Cross
Roll Call Drive

President Wilson in a letter to
the people of the country says:
As President of the United States
and President of the American
Red Cross | recommend and urge
a generous response to the Third
Red Cross Roll Call Drive, which
opens on November 2, with the
observance of Red Cross Sunday
and appropriately closes on No
vember II, the first anniversary
Of the signing of tie armistice.
Twenty million adults joined the
Red Cross during the war, prompt
ed BY a patriotic desire to render
service to Cheir country and to the
cause for which the United States
was engaged in war. Our patriot
ism should stand the test of peace
as we'll as the test of war, and it is
an intelligently patriotic program
which the Red Cross proposes, a
continuance of a service to our
soldiers and sailors. who look to it
for many things, and a transfer
ence to the problems of peace at
home of the experience and meth
DDS which it acquired during the
war.
1t is on membership the stress
of the present campaign is laid,
for the Red Cross seeks to asso.
ciate the people in welfare work
throughout the land, especially in
those communities where neither
official nor unofficial provision has
been made for adequate public
health and social service.
DR.. r. A. Douglass, chairman
of the Third Red Cross Roll Call
Drive for the Huntingdon Chapter,
has appointed chairman in each
district, and is hoping that each
and every one will rally to the
support of these chairmen and rem.
der all the service possible. This
is not a campaign for funds, but
campaign for members. Fifty
cents of each membership fee will
be retained for work in the county.

STRIKE THREATS
AMONG LABOR unions
Labor Organizations are Going
Out on Strikes all Over
the Country

Labor organizations everywhere
are going out on strikes and
threading the industrial interests
of the county with complete ruin
if their pretended grievances are
not promptly met.
The coal miners have planned q
walkout for tomorrow if their de-
mands for higher wages and
shorter hours are not granted.

is imminent say heads Of brother

There is hardly a big line of

CARNATIONS Of the country. And
if the threats that are being de-
family made are carried out the
country will suffer a great
calamity.
The pesident is in bed sick. The
congress, sitting on a volcano, does
nothing, but fuss and fume over
politics, showing clearly the in
capacity of our law makers to lay
aside factlonal politics and be
patriots long enough to enact
legislation to avert pending dis
aSter.

Law and Order

Gov. Roberts by proclamation
has designated November 8
to Is as law and order week.
Preachers are asked to preach on
the subject of law and order on
Sunday, November 8. and all
schools. public and private, are
expected to set aside one day for
law and order exercises. Business
and other organizations are ex-
pected to hold public meetings to
further the cause.

law again. On account of the sick
ness of Gen. Sherrod's wife Gov.
Rye was asked to act as attorney
general while Mr.. Sherrod at
tended the bedside Of his wife.
And while acting in this capacity
it became Gov. Rye's duty to pros.
ecute to conviction the man he
helped to indict over six years ago.
Insanity was the principal plea
of the defendant, and this plea
perhaps had something to do with
the length of the term fixed against
him. Wilder is a man between
35 and 40 years old, and twenty
years service will no doubt be the
greater part of his remaining life.
Wilder's aged father and mother,
who are said to be very wealthy,
came from Michigan and testified
for their son. His deserted wife,
whom he attempted to kill, ap-
peared against him.
The jury was composed of the
following citizens of the county, a
jury Of splendid men: F. r. Bar
ger, John Springer, H. NJ. Con.
yers, Nathan Sellers, S. P. Myers,
w. A. Butler, j. L. Grissom,
Homer Williams, G. E, Parker,
f. L Wright, Charley Kelley and
t. E. Duke. N. N. Lunn and
John Argo were the officers in
charge.

that we had a better state, better

In his charge Monday to the
grand jury at the opening of the
federal court at Jackson, Judge j.
E. Mccall was very emphatic and
explicit in regard to the duty of
the grand jury in searching out
profteers. IA long-sufering pub
lie warmly abpIauded the sentiment
expressed by Judge Mccall that
the guilty be punished.

SAYINGS OF KING
SOLOMON.
BY The REV. CHARLES sTFLZLE.
stan Writer on Religious Topics.

When a clever" young man once
ridicuIed the Proverbs Of Solomon.
saying that anybody could w.te
such stun" wise man quickly
turned to him and said.
suppose you write a few"
The Proverbs have been called
The Business Mans Guide Book
but there's sound advice in this
wonderful book for every man.
Here are some Of these proverbs
picked at random:
The fear Of the Lord is the be-
ginning OF knowledge: but fools de-
spise wisdom and instruction
Incline thine ear unto wisdom,
and apply thine heart 10 UNDER
standing:
Yes. if thou criest after knowI-
edge. and liftest up thy voice for
understanding:
IF thou seekest her as silver and
searChest for her as for hidden
treasure.
Then shalt thou understand the
fear Of the Lord, and find the knowl-
edge Of God"
Happy is the man that fndets
wisdom. and the man that getteth
understanding.
For the merchandise of it is bet
ter than the merchandise Of silver
and the gain thereof than fine gold "
Keep thy heart with all dill
gencei for out Of it are the issues Of
life"
The lips OF a strange woman
drop as an honey-comb. and her
mouth is smoother than oil;
But her end is bitter as worm
wood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death; her
steps take hold on hell"
"Reprove not a scorner. lest he
hate thee; rebuke a wise man, and
he will love thee.
Give instruction to a wise man.
and he will be yet wiser; teach a
just man and he will increase IN
learning"
"A wise son maketh a glad father;
but a foolish son is the heaviness
of his mother"
I'm the multitude Of words there
wanteth not sin: but he that re-
fraineth his lips is wise"
"A talebearer reveaIeth secrets.
but he that is Of a faithful spirit
conCealeth the matter.
Where no counsel is, the people
fall: but in the multitude Of Coun-
sellors there is safety
AS a jewel OF gold in a swine's
snout. so is a fair woman without
discretion"

INFLUENZA.

When science starts out to find
the cause and cure of a disease they
exhaust every theory by riment
and until the right one is found.
And some of these experiments are
on the vaguest possible suggestion.
Now, while we are awaiting Con-
Eress to- make the proper appropria-
tion that science may determine the
cause and prevention of influenza.
let us. everyone of us, try a little
experiment OF our own.
Let us try to help ourselves.
This experiment will involve no
danger. no research, no expense, no
appropriation.
1t is not known. of course, that
we will have another epidemic next
winter.
Our experience with it last winter
in suffering and death is enough to
lead us to every precaution.
While many suffered, many died
far more than our losses in the later
war-and all were exposed to the
disease, yet it is clear that most per-
sons. a very large majority, re-
mained in a normal state of health
throughout the epidemic
II this Is true then there must be
reason why these did not suffer
the disease.
The reason no doubt. is in the
fact that those who did not sue
cumb were in a general state OF
health high enough to resist the
disease germs.
Let US, everyone of us, begin now
to improve our general health and
in order to resist the germs in the
event of a reoccurrence of the flu
epidemic next winter.
Let US sleep with the windows
open.
Drink a glass of water for every
waking hour.
Eat less of concentrated foods and
more of fruits and vegetables, and
keep just a little on the hungry
side of our appetites.
Keep clean inside and out.
While the relief for constipation
Is in the drug store yet its pre-
vention and cure is in the orchard
and garden.
Let us at least walk a part way
to and from work, and keep in the
open on Sundays.
Practice deep breathing in the
open.
fluenza-leave this to the doctors
Let us not get frightened at the
first of those symptoms which we
may happen to know.
The fear OF the disease weakens
the resistance to the disease-any
doctor will tell us tnis.
Let us not set angry nor enter
tain resentments towards anyone
for anger and hate create poisonous
toxins in the body and to the low
ering of the general health.
Some of these suggestions may be
foolish. but as stated in the begin
ming. some of the experiments of
science may be on the vaguest pos
sible theory.
Anyhow. we think that the medi-
cal profession will approve of most
Of these suggestions as a matter of
general principle.
Health or disease is a matter of
battle between the good germs and
bad germs in the body, and let us
create and build up good germs for
possible battle with influenza
germs nex& winter.
