PRESIDENT WILSON'S PROCLA-
NATION. .i..s

PRESIDENT WILSON'S PROCLA-
NATION.
AS President of the United States
and as President Of the American Red
Cross, / recommend and urge gem
erous response to the Third Red Cross
Roll Call which opens on November
the second with the observance Of Red
Cross Sunday and appropriately closes
on November the eleventh, the first
anniversary of the Armistice.
Tweney million. adults joined the
Red Cross during the war, prompted
by q patriotic desire to render service
to their country and to the cause for
which the United States was engaged
in war. Our patriotism should stand
the test of peace as we'll as the test
of war, and it is an intelligently patri-
otic program which the Red Cross pro-
poses, continuance Of service to our
soldiers and sailors who look to it for
many things, and transference to
the problems Of peace atghome Of the
experience and methods which it ac-
quired during the war. & 'ss
It is on membership more than
money contributions that the stress Of
the present campaign is laid, for the
Red Cross seeks to associate the peo-
pie 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.
1t is in the spirit Of democracy that
the people should undertake their own
welfare activities, and the National
Red Cross wisely intendes to exert
upon community action a. stimulat-
ing and co-ordinating influence and
to place the energies of the organiza-
tion behind all sound public health
and welfare agencies.
The American Red Cross does not
purpose indefinite promulgation Of
it's relief work abroad, policy which
would lay an unjust burden upon our
own people and tend to undermine the
self-reliance of the: peoples relieved,
but there is a necessity work of COM
pletion to be performed before the
American Red Cross can honorably
withdraw: from Europe. The Com
gress of the United States has i'm
posed upon the Red Cross continu-
ing responsibility abroad by author
izing the Secretary OF War to trans
Yer 10 the A'aerican Red Cross Ssach
surplus army medical supplies and
supplementary and dietary food stuffs
now in Europe as shall not be requir-
ed by the. Army, to be used, by the
Red Cross to relieve the distress which
continues in> certain countries of Eu-
rope as a result of the war.
To finance these operations, to con-
clude work which was begun during
the war, and to carry out some com
paratively inexpensive plans for as.
sisting people in eastern Europe to
develop their own welfare organiza.
tions, the American Red Cross re.
quires, in addition to membership
fees, a sum of money small in com.
parison with the gifts poured into its
treasury by our generous people dur
ing the war. :
Both the greater enduring domes
tic program and the lesser temporar,
foreign program of the Red Cros:
deserve enthusiastic support. and
venture to hope that its peace-time
membership will exceed rather tina,
fall below its impressive member
ship.

CREIGHTON HIGH IN TIE WITH
LOCAL TEAM.

Creighton High and Missouri Val
ley High played scoreless tie at
City park, here, Friday.
The game was hotly contested
throughout. Missouri Valley made
more distance than the Omaha lads,
but the Creighton defense held at the
critical periods and prevented any
touchdowns. The bail was in Creigh-
ton territory during the greater part
of the game. except in the final quar-
ter, when Creighton rallied and took
the pigskin into Missouri Valley
ground.

news columns of a newspaper, so it
follows that you must have your
headlines as interesting as the news
headings; otherwise they re not read
a all.
This requires time and study, and
not everyone can do it. After you
have mastered the art Of getting your
headlines down to a few words, you
are then ready to prepare your copy.
Women will read from $50 to 200
words, while most men will not read
more than so to CO.,

that his advertising must sound like

 In the picturization of the story, none of it's beauty or interest has been sacrificed With Kentucky for back ground, the scenes of Sandy have unusual charm. Sandy is. a Scotch boy who comes to- this coun- try as stowaway and when on the steamship he meets Ruth Uelson and loses his heart to her through her kindness and sympathy. He follows her to Kentucky where he meets with exciting adventures, and without re- vealing the denouement of the story, it is sufficient to say that Sandy wins Ruth after series of exciting incidents that thrill and hold the in terest to the last scene The support is exceptionally fine throughout.

 Local theatre patrons who have a definite recollection of the interna tional significance of the situation at the time 1t developed will recall that the ex-Kaiser sent several German warships to Venezuela Harbor, and that he announced, in statement made by Dr. von Holleben to Presi- dent Roosevelt that he proposed to land an armed force for temporary occupation"
