is CONTEMPLATED that sooner or
later all these funds will be ex-

ARMIsTICE DAY.

The American people live fast,
spend. freely and forget quickly.
Armistice Day has come and gone;
probably ninety-fve per cent of
the population forgot the day when
it came. The mother of the boy
sleeping under the lilies of France
did not foget. The world war vet
.eran with a piece of shrapnel in
his side, or with lungs affected by
poison gas, did not forget. The
young man with an empty sleeve
did not forget. The one who came
though the fracas untouched and
returned with a sound body and a
clear head, who had seen his pals
snuffed off at the front, remem-
bered that November 18th was the
day when every Frenchman he met
grabbed him by the hand and said
with tears in his eyes lie Guerre
fini." THE war is over)
National Commander Galbraith
of the. American Legion has this
to say of Armistice Day:
This is only the second ami
versary of Armistice Day-a day
destined, if we will, to keep COM
pany with the immortals of the
calender which mark great mom-
,ents of history that shall never
die Succeeding generations will
acclaim Armistice Day. God grant
they always shall acclaim it in the
spirit that made it; and that this
spirit, like the day, shall be inn
perishable. ]"

LEGISLATURE OyERWHELM-
INGLY REPUBLICAN

A list of the members of the
coming legislature has been pre-
pared at Pierre, and it shows that
both houses will be overwhelming
ly republican. In the Senate there
will be forty-three republicans, two
non-partisan and one lone demo-
crat. In the house there will be
ninety-three republicans, seven non
partisans and two democrats. Thus
the democrats sink to the lowest
representation they have ever had
in the history of the state and be-
come a third party. With only ten
opposing members out of a total
membership of more than one
hundred and fifty, the legislature
has never been much more strong
ly republican during the history
of the state than it has been this
year.
The non-partisans did not deve-
lop nearly the strength that had
been anticipated, and the curious
thing about the situation is that
in several counties where they
carried with the head of their tic
ket they lost their legislative mem
bers. No one has explained thus
far just how this happened.
Haakon county will have republi-
can representation in both the
Senate and the House this year, a
situation which has not existed for
several sessions heretofore.

tional organization and expects to
raise none. Mr.. Waggoner sug-
gests that the various branches ov-
ar the county are entitled to cre-
dit rather than criticism because
they have carefully preserved thus
far the sacred trust fund left in
their hands at the end Of the war.
The Haakon County Red Cross
proposes to continue spending con-
servatively and economically to
support the work of the county
nurse and other public health eff
forts, but does not propose to en-
ter upon any building ventures
until conditions become more nor

FOURTH ANNUAL RED CROSS
MEETING.

| 81
The annual meeting Of the Haa
kon county chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross was held at the Gem
Theatre in Philip last week ac-
cording to the call. Although the
weather was bitterly, cold there
was a fairly representative meet
ing from over the county. Philip
Midland, Powell, Nowlin, North
Fork, Grindstone, Ashcreek, Hill.
land, Hardingrove and Lucerne
were among the branches and aux
iliaries represented.
There was general discussion
of the public health program and
the work of the county nurse. II
was unanimously agreed that the
chapter hoala eontii11 l1e ia nay tsas
expenses of the county nurse, SO
long as the board of county com
missioners continued to approp-
riate money for her salary. In fact
it seemed to be the opinion of
those present that her work should
be furthered by the employment
of an assistant if possible.
The old officers Of the chapter
who have served from the begin
ing, were reelected. They are:
Alvin Waggoner, chairman; @. X.
Whitney, vice-president; Mrs. T. j.
Mcclure, secretary; and J. G.. Mel
son, treasurer. Mrs. C. w. Robert
son of Midland was added to the
list as a vice president It was
moved and carried that the chair
man of the chapter appoint the
executive committee for the COM
ing year.
All the branches present endors-
ed the fourth annual roll call for
membership now under way all
over the United States, and their
representatives took home with
them the necessary buttons and
other supplies for the campaign.
Mrs. 7. j. Mcclure is the county
chairman for the membership cam
paign. She and the chapter chair
man expressed their earnest desire
for the hearty cooperation Of the
whole county in re-enrolling the
membership.
The membership fee. is one dol
lar as in former years. One half of
this goes to the national organic
alton and it's work. The remaining
half will this year be devoted en-
tirely to the work of the county
nurse. In fact, the future activi-
ties of the he'd Cross in Haakon
county are pledged to the assist
ance of the county nurse ana ner
public health work.
A Health Center is now estab-
lished in Philip in property owned
by the county adjacent to the court
house. This is the health clearing
house for the whole county and
will with time become very act
i've community health center. 1t
was the general expression of the
recent annual county Red Cross
meeting that everybody should be
willing to declare himself in on
the work Of the county nurse by
contributing just one dollar and
joining the Red Cross for the full
year of 1921.
