JUNIOR RED CROSS
WORKING At HOME
Production Of Sound American
Citizenship the First Aim,
. Says Dr.. Farrand.

On the badge Of every member Of
the Junior Red Cross are the words
II Serve" That tells the story of the
school children's branch Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross and its efforts to bring
happiness to children throughout the
world.
Realizing that the time never was
20 propitious a. right now for teach
Ing the highest ideals Of citizenship,
the entire present program Of the Jun
Tor Red Cross has been framed under
the very inclusive phrase, Training
for Citizenship Through Service" for
others. Since the Junior Red Cross 10
the agency through which the Ameri-
can Red Cross reaches the %schoolboys
and the schoolgirls, all its activities
are designed to come within the regu-
lar school program, and without Great
ing new courses or increasing the num-
Der of studies to lend its aid in vitaliz-
ing the work Of the schools.
"The thing that is needed" says DR..
Livingston Farrand, Chairman of the
American Red Cross Central Commit
tee, "is not a perpetuation of the Jun
Tor Red Cross, but the training and
breeding of sound American citizenship
inspired by the true, fundamental
ideals of sound democracy. One Of the
great conceptions in making the Red
Cross a contributor to better citizen
ship in u American democracy is the
rpoIf1ot{nn fhof oftop oil 49, .ol. L>-o
OF any nation is with the children of
the country"
The plan Of organization of the Jun
Tor Red Cross makes the school-pub-
lie, p%arochial and private-the unit,
not the individual pupils. Mutual scrv-
Ice, helpful community work such as
cleanup campaigns, care Of the sick,
promotion of health regulations, par
%ticipation In civic and patriotic move !
ments-all these creative agencies de-
signed to translate into life and action
the regular school program are parts
Of the machinery which the Junior Red !
Cross places at the disposal Of the !
school authorities. !
Graded study courses giving prac- !
teal methods OF civic training, supple !
mented by pamphlets and helpful sug-
gestions, are supplied to the local |
schools by the Junior Red Cross. An /
elaborate plan for promoting an inter-
change Of correspondence between chill
dren in different sections Of the United
States as well as with children in for
eign. lands is being devised and will
take a prominent place in the estab-
lished classroom program.
In promoting the general cause Of
child welfare, Red Cross courses in
home hygiene and care of the sick, |
FIRST aid, and dietnss mayb estab-
lished IN all Junior Red Cross Aux
iliaries.
The ideals and the objective Of the
Junior Red Cross are embodied in the
pledge Of service which the pupil takes
when he signs the membership roll and
pins on his coat the Juniors badge. |

gress took very active part in help ing to work up sentiment in behalf of this bill and has rendered most valua- ble services. but the American Min has a wide variety of interests, and can not be expected to devote a large measure of it's time and its resources to the interests of any one of the in dustries.
 It seems incredible almost that the gold miners of America would take so little interest in q matter of such vital importance. An effort must be made at once to simulae larger in terest if we wish to succeed in having this legislation passed when Congress recOnVenes.
 We are advised on most reliable au- thority that the Ways and Means Committee was very much impressed wiht the sdata produced in behalf of the and that several members of the committee expressed themselves as favorable to it. but thought best not to nlake any report on the bill at pres ent. because the session of Congress was about to adjourn and number of members of the Committee Were absent and had not had an opportunity to he present at he hearings.
 It is not necessary to call attention to the fact that fla favorable report is made by the Ways and Means Com- mittee, it does not then follow that the bill would have a certainty of favorable action by the Senate and House, but favorable report by the Ways and Means Committss would mean n great deal in the way of a guarantee that the bill can he finally adopted.

 Evidence is o be introduced in Con- gress proving that unless larger price is paid for gold. of not less than $10. % per ounce, the gold mining in dustry may be considered as thing of the past.
 Newspapers in every district are asked to give publicity to this circular and it is earnestly desired that the different districts will communicate with one another as to thep rogress of organization. so that quick action can be obtained. Our committee stands ready to cooperate at all times and tc answer any and every inquiry that is made.
 If prompt action Is taken and this legislation is secured it will have the effect to prevent many mines from be- ing closed down altogether. and the loss of mary millions of dollars.

Under new depa rtmental regulations effective July 1. 1920, the period Ill which martin may be killed is extend ed to November l5, 1925. Under the old regulations, killing of martin was prohibited from Mareh 15 1o'6 to No vember 15.1921, hence the new ruling adds four years to the closed period originally designated. The new regu- lations are promulgated by the Bureau of Biological Survey of the Depart ihent of Agriculture under an act of Congress- approved May 31. 1920 which confers upon the Secretary of Agricul- ture the powers and duties heretofore conferred upon the Secretary of Con- merce with respect to protection of Alaska fur bearing animals.
 Pursuant to this authority. the Sec retary of Agriculture. because of wide variations in the climatic and physio- graphic. and in order to serve the con- venience of trappers and the cause of conservation with justice. has deemed 1t advisable to divide the Territory in- to three districts. in each of which the conditions relating to fur are com paratfvely uniform. The first of these or District No. 1, as described by the Department. includes the Aleutian Is- lands. Alaska Peninsula and neighbor- Ing islands. and Southeastern Alaska. mainland and islands. from Yakutat Ray to Dixon Entrance.
 District No. 2 includes the main- land and Islands from Yakutat Bay. Gulf of Alasl<a. Illiamna Lake and Bristol Ray. northward to the head waters of the streams flowing into the Arctic Ocean north of the ssth paratcl of North latitude. S
 District No. embraces the region drained by the streams entering the Arctic Ocean north of the ssth parallel of North latitude.

Ic ALL THOSE INTERESTED IN
 GOLD MINING

We are addressing this letter to the gold miners of the United States with q desire to secure. if possible. greater cooperation among themselves in the furtherance of their own interests.
 A bill is now pending in Congress. namely: The McFadden Bill, H. R. 132Ol. having for it's object the secur- ing of bonus to the producers of gold In the sum of Ten Dollars per ounce. The means of securing this bonus are fully set forth in this bill. The bill was introduced in Congress on March 22. and was referred to the Ways and Means Committee.
 Notwithstanding this legislation Is of such vital importance to tn sold mining industry and would rAult In immeasurable benefit to the companies that are operating in the low grade gold ores, and in fact to all gold pro- ducers, when the hearings were held by the Ways and Means Committee on this bill on June 1. one ONE represen- tative of the gold mining industry was present to give his testimony and to present the data on behalf of the gold producers.
 It is true the American Mining Con-

to make preparations for fore thoro presentation when hearings are re- stunned and for the presentation of such an array of data as will convince not only the members of the Ways and Means Committee but every member of Congress also. of the importance of mining industry. A great deal of work remains to be done and can te done if the gold miners can be arous- ed.
 The mining men of every district where gold is produced. the newspa- pers, the bankers, and the business men generally. must take hold of the proposition.
 The timei now ripe when an or ganization of gold miners must be at tempted. Every other industry is or ganized to look after its interests. The have been organized for many years with the result that they have been able to meet the new conditions which have come about on account of the war; and he increase in the price of la- bor, supplies and other conditions.
 Gold mining, alone of all the indus tries, is without organization. .and when q hearing was being held ill Congress few weeks ago on matter which was of vital importance to the industry it had only one representa- tive from all over the United States to.prescnt it's case.
 We must have an organization that will include all those who are enga ged in gold mining. or dependent upon it in any way. the prospector. the miner. bankers. businessmen. stockholders as well as the actual producers of the precious metal. Action must be taken at once. In every district where gold is produced the citizens must get to-
