THE GIRL STACKER.

One evening we were passing the
house of a friend when, hearing music
and singing, we decided we would stop
in and see how the folks were. Mr..
Blank welcomed us and ushered us
into the parlOr where his daughter
was playing the piano and his son
singing. We begged them to continue
and dropped into an easy chair The
song they were singing was Mother. "
They sang it very feelingly and then
father joined in on the chorus. This
was followed by Mother Machree, -
and still another of like sentiment.
Then they stopped for awhile and Mr..
Blank commented on songs about
mother--hOw true they were, how
dear, and how they loved to sing them.
Then, as Mrs. Blank hadn't appeared
we inquired about her state of health.
oh" said the daughter, Mothers
we'll enough. She's in the kitchen do
ing the dishes, but after she has fin
ished and sorted the clothes, she'll join
us" This isn't intended to be funny.
There isn't anything humorous about
washing dishes or sorting the clothes.
There isn't anything funny about the
daily grind of mothers work in the

Lear who said, How Sharper than a

saving the heather or organizing a

abroad, we might institute a little club
right here in Welsh to teach worthless
daughters some appreciation of thei'
mothers. 1t makes us angry all over
every time we see a bunch of these
Indifferent hussies parading off to the
picture show at $50 O'Clock in the
evening when we know poor, tired
mother is breaking her back over the
kitchen sink. For shame! Coleridge
truly said, "a mother is a mother still
the hOliest thing alive" but there are
lot of girls around Welsh who never
thought of her in any other way than
to impose upon her and to abuse her.
Let's change all this, girls! Let's give
mother little rest Pitch in and helm
her with the dishes. And it wouldn't

while to tie an apron around theiI

Accomplishments Of the recently
organized Windham County Co-opera-
tive Milk Producers, Inc, will be
watched with interest. The authoriz-
ed capital has been fixed at $4,000
and membership in the corporation is
limited to persons owning or operat,
ing farms or engaged in some form
of agriculture enterprise. While no
statement to that affect appears in
the newspaper announcements of the
Organization, it is presumed that the
purpose Of the Windham county farm
ers who are a%ssociating themselves
as members is to eliminate some of
the costs that attach themselves to
agricultural products on the long and
often times circuitous route between
the producer and the consumer. SINH

time to time in all sections Of the

have been attended with more or less
success, largely depending urcn the
personality of the men at the head

blame has been Rightly placed. There
is no denying that the costs of trans
portation and CT marketing Of farm
products has always been tco high.
The agciculturists have striven for a
less ex lensiye route between the man
who raises and the man who eats and
have accomplished some results,
mos. Of them of IN indirect nature.
To bring about the end at which the
men on the land are aiming would
eventually result In Capitalization, a
condition to which agriculture has
Geen opposed and which, If attained,
might result in wen greater handi-
caps than those under which the
farmers believe they are new labor
ing, There are, however, numerous
ways in which such organizations as
that OF the Windham county dairymen
may assist its members. Some OF
them are educational. One Of the
benefits Is that derived through CO
operative buying and another through
improved marketoing methods. Pool
ing of crops is another. Nothing re-
sembling the millennium for the tillers
of the soil will be brought about
through such a combination, but if It
is wisely Differed and conducted the
one fact that its members have a
common interest will l.ghten some OF
the burdens and smooth away some
of the troubles,

SAVED BY FINGERPRINTs

Washington, Sept. 13.-Solely by
virtue of the fact that when he en-
listed in the United States Army,
several years ago, his fingerprints
were taken, Anders Martin Ander-
son, a native of Norway. is tonight
a citizen of the United States.
Anderson came before Justice
Gould in the Supreme Court to-day
as an applicant for final citizenship
papers. Having lived in Washing
ton only one month extreme difficult
ty developed in the matter of identi-
fication. Anderson happily remem-
bered that when enlisting in the
army his fngerprints were taken
and appealed to Walter s. Kaye,
Chief of the Fingerprint Division of
the Adjutant Generals Office. Mr..
Kaye took a impression of Ander-
sons fngerprints, compared them
with those on file, and positively
identified the applicant to the court.
Justice Gould readily accepted the
Identification.

AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members Of the
Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members Of the American
Red Cross are those citizens of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
SONS and daughters OF the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners OF
the earth.
These people compose the lnsular
and Foreign Division of the parent or
ganization, generally known AS the
Fourteenth" Division. which has
Jurisdiction Of all territory outside
the country proper; that is. Alaska.
Porto Rico. Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the Is
land of zap, which came under our
flag as a result of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
30S0S paid up members.
The main object of this division Is
TO give our citizens everywhere the op-
portunity to participate in the work
of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
in far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership In
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston of their citizenship. 1t is an
other tie to the homeland and TO
each other. There are chapters Of
this division in Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, Guam
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan. Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions in money, and millions
of dollars worth of necessary articles
for the men in service, and sent many
doctors and nurses 10 France. AT the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service In their respective
communities for the families of those
who had gone TO war, and in some re-
gions gave large sums of money and
Unreasonable personal service TO the
relief of disaster and disease victims.
The division is now establishing
service clubs in foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans TO aid
Americans in trouble in foreign lands
and completing arrangements for CIV
ing immediate adequate relief in case
OF disaster.
1t is the Fourteenth Divisions part
In the great Peace Time program Of
the American Red Cross.
