MRS.. SP|7z[R's
 W0Rk LAID OUT
An Itinery Outlined That Will Prove
 of Inestimable Benefit Through : out Jackson County.

The town and county nursing ser vice, according to Chairman Wilbanks of the Nursing Committee Of Jackson County Chapter of the American Red Cross, will be pushed rapidly. The committee has outlined an itinery for Mrs. Spitzer over the county. Mrs. Spitzer will spend a week in Swif- ton, beginning January 27, and her coming will be advertised through the schools and churches. Mrs. Spitzer will organize classes and give lectures in Home Care of the Sick, Hygiene, Demonstrations and examinations for tuberculosis and infectious diseases. The county su- perintendent has given his indorse- ment of injecting this work into the schools and has promised his coop eration. It is planned to carry this work on over the whole of Jackson county to increase health conditions and preparedness in event of return of any epidemic. Later from Swifton Mrs. Spitzer will proceed to Tucker man and other towns in the county and carry out the plans outlined above. Too much of tribute can not be paid directly to Mrs. Spitzer for the wonderful work she has al- ready done in Jackson county. She has been the angel of mercy in many homes during the ravages of the recent epidemic and her future work no doubt will meet with the same marked success.
 At recent executive meeting of the Nursing Committee the following persons were made honorary members of that committee: Tom Gregg, chairman of Jackson County Chapter of Red Cross, Chas. l.. Mariner, sec retary; John Melville, county judge; pr. Stephens, county health officer; Dr. Gray, city health officer and Gus Martin, chief of police.
 Miss Dove Erwin, chairman of the Junior membership of the County Red Cross Chapter is outlining a comprehensive plan of work that is destined to mean much to the future development of Red Cross work for this county.

LEAGUE IF NATIONS
 PLAN APPROVED.
Statesmen Steadily Drawing Togeth- CT On Structure Which Will Have
 The Support Of All.

Paris, Jan. 19.-The plans for a league of nations have been reduced to very definite form. The general indications are that the statesmen of the principal nations are steadily drawing together on structure which will have the support of all, the informal discussions having brought the community of ideas to a point where it may reasonably be expected soon to appear on paper.
 It is said that the general plan which is now most approved in sub stance by all the parties concerned rejects the theory of the super-sover- eighty of an international police force.
 It also contemplates the working out, as the development of the league progresses, of the most deli cate question of all-disarmament- which particularly affects the British navy. The same principle, it is pro- posed, shall apply to the other nations associated in the war against Ger many.
 The idea is founded on the argu- ment that no nation would dispose of instruments by which it expects to defend itself until it has been demon strated that the forces proposed as a substitute will be efficient.
 Tn the opinion of International law yers such decisions will remove from actual settlement by the peace conference, at this sitting at least, many questions on which complete agreement might not be expected now, but upon which full accord seems probable as the development of the plans for league of nations ad- vance.
 Such plan will delegate to various commissioners and committees detail ed problems which shall be reported with recommendations to the league itself, The probability of such plan being adopted justifies previous fore casts that the principal accomplish ments of the peace conference, as 1t now sits in Paris, will be agreement on broad general principles, leaving the details to be applied in accord herewith, and the making of a pre- a;minary peace which will return the world at the earliest moment to it's normal status.

WORRIED LIKE A POPULAR
 KID AT A CHRISTMAS TREE.

Paris, Jan. 19.-President and Mrs Wilson came to Paris with very modest collection of trunks and per- sonal baggage, but they probably will be forced to take home carload Both MT. and Mrs. Wilson have re- ceived so many gifts in the course of their stay in Paris and their visit to England and Italy that large quan- tity of them probably will have to be taken to Washington on an army transport.
 Gifts of all kinds and of all values began pouring in the day President Wilson arrived, and they still are coming in never ending stream. They come from all classes of people. Many of the presents are priceless, but the president values most those having a sentimental appeal. These havecome mostly from children, not only in France, but from all over Eu- rope, and also from families in en- tente countries which have suffered by the war.
 President Wilson has directed that every one should be formally ac- knowledged.

DEFAMATION OF AMERICANS BETTER THAN
 CIRCUS FOR RUSSIANS

Headquarters on the Vaga Riva, The Russia, Nov. 20.-The debarka- tion of American troops at this lit. tie town was better than a circus for it's population, who treated it as such and spent hours and hours watching the proceedings.
 The town is hilly, with big grass covered cliffs right at the rivers edge breaking into sort of natural amphitheatre at the landing place. The townsfolk, particularly the chil dren, came to this amphitheatre early in the morning and chung until late at night to the coveted places nearest the old paddle steamers and barges from which Americans debarked..
 Efforts of husky American engi- heers to move their wagons up the hills aided, or rather deterred, by Russian horses who, couldn't under derstand the language, brought glee to the dirty pinafored little Russian girls and long trousered, grimy faced, chubby lads, whose ears were tickled by strange swear words.
 Entrance to the boats was prohibit ed, but the kiddies, with all the zest of American youngsters sneaking under the tent "a circus, stole up the gang-planks and knew the smiling Tanks were only joking when they poked at them with their bayonets.
 This town treated the Americans, and also the Russians and others in the allied contingent as saviours and deliverers from the Bolsheviki. Ev cry time a boat load of troops went Ap the river to the .front great crowd gathered on the cliffs and cheered them, and when the towns own company of Russian soldiers went off to fight the cliff was fairly black with singing, cheering throngs.
 Big blue and white and brown houses of logs and wood, heated by great porcelain or brick stoves, are being shared here by their owners with the allied troops and many other soldiers are accommodated in the bar racks once built - for the Cossack guards of the late Emperor Nicholas.

MILLION DOLLARS
 IS NOT SUFFICIENT
 TO DISTURB DEAD.

Fort Worth, Tex, Jan. 18.-The Merriman Baptist church of Ranger, which already has acquired an income of s2O0,0OO a year through oil wells sunk in it's church yard, has refused S1 100000 for the right to develop wells in its graveyard, which ad- joins the church.

 THRILLING EXPERIENCE.

The boys on ship almost exhausted them selves in an effort to pull the ship out of the sand, and were only re- lieved by another storm, which dis lodged the ship and put it afloat. Mir. Parsons is Batesville boy and has been in the navy since the war broke out with Germany.
