THANKSGIVING
To the Editor,

To the Editor,
Madison Journal, Talulah, La:
And so, has another year passed
On, that brings.to us, cur Day of gen
eral thanksgiving. That we should,
according to established custom, rend-
or thanks. and. gratitude for the
bounteou3 blessings bestowed upon
Us. Can there be q more fitting time
than this day and during the ordeal
through which our fair country is
passing, to reflect; asking of our
Lord the strength and endurance to
withstand the state of abnormaIity
that now prevails, and especially so, in
dear old Southland? A condition
brought on, as an aftermath CT the
great world strife-yet fresh in our
minds. And even though in the great
est Of faith, we cannot evade all o.
its consequences: for all things are
ordained.
But confident and self-reliant
America, will not WAIVER, and by
reason of this, let Us thank the
Lord for the courage anu hope that
IS inytiilad within US. Then comes
me Gay when there shall be again, the
features Of stability and: dependahil-
ity, ard happiness and contentn.e nt
hall reign supreme. And then; when
duty called our boys, who brTvely
answered the call-that. America
should remain the greatest country
Under the SIN. Let US remember that
the object for which our brave boys
fought was attained, by the grace OF
God.
And while we hold il r,ind, our
boys who followed the S;azs and
Stripes to the goal of liberty, net for
this generation alone-but for pos
terity. Let Us not in this solemn hour
forget, that great soldier OF the world,
AID for the world-Moi her Daar; who
SO bravely gave up her boys as an
| offering to cur country, that our
country should abide. Let US rever-
emily contemplate, the. silent tears
that beclouGei her eyes-heart beset
with anxiety and apprehension, while
her boys were far sway, and many of
them cover therein the silent
watch CT the night, then in full array
for what may come with the day
then the cliInax-that brought to
many-in mem orianl-the golden
star.
We thank the Lord for His abund-
.arce of goodness, and let us enjoy
TiaIs blessings with becoming graft
tude and humility. Ncr let US ever
forget that the most acceptable thank
offering, is TIA bring light and joy, to
those, who are cast down in spirit.
May we By doing what is pleasing
% Him, continue to find grace and
favor in His sight.
| a. L. KATE.

TCO MUCH THANK YOU

We honestly believe that in the
matter of doing things for a mere
thank you" the weekly newspapers
Ct this country hold the record.
We say it with no desire TO dis
csixinate, for we believe. Tallulah
people are no different from those
to be found elsewhere, but we feel
that on reflection they will agree. It
is true, that fer the number Of favors
rendered no other institution is as
poorly psid as the newspaper. The
church has bazaar, the school has a
concert, a club brings paid speaker
or musician to town and does so to
make money, and yet in almost every
instance the newspaper is called on
TO announce the date, boost the at
traction, get out the crowd-and then
be satisfied with a free ticket. And
very often, the promoters overlook
even the free ticket.
1t is hard for some people to
understand that about all a newspaper
has to sell is its space, ar at least that
part of its space. not devoted to ac.-
ual news happenings If it gives
away its space where is it to get
money fer more white paper, more.
ink, more type-for type wears.
cut-and for rent and heat and light
and the scores of other things that it
is forced to pay out good money for2
They wouldn't go to the merchant and
say we're going to hold a bazaar 10
Lake some money; give US some Of
your goods to sell that night" Yet
they say to tie editor: We're going
to hold bazaar, give us your adver-
Il ing space so we can get a crowd
that will spend its money" And yet
there's TO difference.
The newspapers are here to boost
every worthy institution-and this
one expects to keep on doing it. But
we'd get down on our knees and thank
the good Lord right now if we could
make everyone see that it takes
money to run Il newspaper just the
sarie as it does anything else.

FIVE DOLLAR WHEAT

Residents of Tallulah and vacinity
will be interested in statement now
being given wide publicity, and made
by a son Of the late James J. Hill. He
says il will not be great length: of
time until wheat is selling at five
t3!lars bushel. He understands what
it requires 20 produce bushcl Of
wheac-the land and the labor and
the climate. So when lie chances to-
ward the cities and beholds the tcem-
ing millions, and toward the country,
and beholds the lessening throngs up
on the farms, he says he can't see
anything else but five-dollar wheat.
But, even so, it does not necessarily
spell the doom of the race. 1t may
mean suffering for many for a time.
1t may cause hardships which we have
not experienced fer many years. But
ave-doiiar wheat cannot destroy civil
zatinr, nor for mere than a year or
SO Prccipitate great h2rIships, for the
reason that the year following such
price for the grain, mere and more
people would lie driven back tc tie

abundance would be produced. It

And fWe-dollar wheat might, fer that

WHY TIE RED CROSS SHOULD
CONTINUE IN MADISON
PARISH

Everybody knows what the Red
Cross did during the war. It's record
is as clear as the record Of any biz
organization could possibly be. Since
the signing Of the Arnisiice the worf
OF the Red Cross has gore on, but
It has been done qaitely ard without
display. For this reason many of the
people who think of the Red eros
solely as a war organization do not
knew that the Madison Chapter is
still active and doing work as import,
ant and valuable as its war work
The present Red Cross work is in be
half Of the people OF our own Madi-
son Parish.
1t Is but natural that people should
want to know how their money !.
peEt when il is handled by some
'5ne else. This is how your Red Cross
money went:
Two hundred Of the ex-yervice men
rom this pnrish have been to the
lone Service Office in TaNu,ah for
as3istance Of some kind, for help in
getting important papers filed out.
20 secure back pay for their army
;ervice, to apply fer their bonus, &c
re-irstate their government iasur-
ance, to secure vocational training.
medical and hospital treatment, VIC
5ory buttons, etc.
In addition to the work dora for
cx-service men sixty-siY civilian rami-
les have been death with. sSCT.92
vas expended for relief and welfare
of those families which included redi..
,al and nursing care, clothes, school
books and Christmas presents for
stlGren who could not otherwise
lave received any Xmas presents.
A medical inspection of the school
children was conducted at an expense
Of S97.25. Where pareass were un.
@ole to have defects corrected. the
Rad Cross did so. Seventeen children
were operated on for renewal of
tonsls and adenoids, one for amen
dicltls, two fitted for glasses, two
treated for ear trouble and three were
gwen dental treatment. All this
cost ss19.S4.
A Red Cross Rest Room has been
equipped at a cost of S222.75. The
playground at Ta;luIah cos. sI4744.

at Delta it cost $500, The salary
of one paid worker together with the
office expenses has amounted to
S339.O4. Thes uin Of $1,000 has been
set aside for disaster relief.
Work fer ex-sarvice men should be
continued as long IS they need it.
Civilian Relief work should be con-
tinued. 1t will cost about $1,000 per
moath to continue to operate the
Rest Room. Our health work should
be continued. Several cases are now
needing treatment. The funds in the
chapter treasury are practically eX-
hausted. VIII you allow your Red
Gross to be discontinued for the lack
Of funds? VIII you contribute and
heln;make it lasting? If you are asked
for contribution, will you not give
as literally as possible? And if you
are not asked will you not send your
contribution to J. R. Linton, Roll Call
Chairman, Tailul&h, La. Your help is
solicited and will be appreciated.

WHAT IS THE LOUISIANA RED
CROSS DOING?


doing now?" comes the question.
They didn't. ask that question in
war time. And it Was naturally SC,
for in war time; every man, woman
and child in the state knew Just what
the Red Cross was doing, had done
and was going to do. Now, howevar,
it is different. Since the end OF the.
war, the Red Cross has worked quiet
ly, unostentatiou:,y--but it has work
ed just the came. For example:
There are G3 Red Cross Chapters
working in this state. Only one has
been discontinued since the signing.
OF the Armistice. Of these, there are
SO which have been granted extern
sicn of the Home Service department,
allowing the Chapter to extend its
work into homes of the people of
the community for the welfare Of
the people. A Public Health Nurse
has been installed in eight Chapters,
and welfare workers in others. The
duty CT these nurses is to teach
hygiene through the public schools,
to visit the sick, to give advise, to
act as connecting link between the
patient and the physician, to teach
some member of the family how to
care for the sick person. The Junior
Red Cross is operating in 25 Louisiana
Chapters. Six Health Cente-s have
been opened in Louisiana, with a
trained worker in charge: Nine other
have enlisted for health work. Nine
classes in First Aid are being taught.
Fourteen classes in Home Hygiene
and care of the sick have been taught
in this state, and others in this popular
department will be started at ar
early date. Fourteen Chapters have
installed a Bureau OF information.
Thirty Chapters in Louisiana are
actively engaged in production.
-Four Red Cross recreation centers
have been opened, some of these in
ciude play grounds for the chiliren
and rest rooms for the women of
,he community.
But, greatest of all, there are 81
IF the GO Chapters still actively en-
gagged in war work, of work which has
cOre as the aftermath OF the war.
The Red Cross is still caring for the
ex-serTice man, and their families
and dependents. The Red Cross acts
a5 connecting link between the
Federal Board of Vocational Educa
ton and the nnan---is plays a similar
part in connecting up the nan and
The Bureau Of War Risk Insurance,
and various ether departments of
The government.
II you really want to know what
the Red Cross is doing for the ex-
service man, ask one. He will tell
you.
The greatest mother in the world
IS still the Red Cross, as far as the
ax service man is concerned.
And a word about the Fourth Red
Cross Roll Call.

Thomas Dalgity Receives
 Appointment as Deputy
 U.S.Marshal at Wrangell

Thomas Dalgity last evening received a cabfegram from United States Marshal J. NJ. Tanner appointing him deputy marshal at Wrangell, the appointment to take effect as soon as his oath of office reaches him. Mr. Dalgity has been jailer in Wrangell for several years. Since the death of H. J. Wallace on May 5 MT. Dalgity has been acting deputy marshal. In the meantime L. K. Carson has been acting as jailor and will probably continue to hold this position under the new deputy marshal.

Many Improvements on
 Stikine Were Made
 During Past Winter

D. M. Kean arrived from Tele- graph Creek the first of the week. Mir. kean is connected with the Department of Public Works of the Dominion government, and has his headquarters at Prince Rupert. During the past winter he has been in charge of the inn provements that have been going on on the Stikine river.
 c. B. Hull, district engineer of the Department of Public Works, has asked for an appropriation to continue the work this year. Much mining activity for the Cassiar is confidently predicted for the near future. The Stikine is the only outlet for the Cassiar, and it is particularly gratifying to know that the Dominion gov ernment appreciates the import ance of rendering every possible aid to the navigation of this stream.

House AboliShes
 Eighty Rod Strip
 Law In Territory
Grigsby's Bill Likely to Become a Law at Pres ent Session. Would Aid Homesteaders.

WASHINGTON, D. :, June 1. The House of Representatives this morning passed the bill abolishing the eighty-rod re- serve strip between homesteads along the shores of Alaska and its navigable waters. It now goes to the Senate for consider ation, and according to Delegate George B. Grigsby, he has the assurance of many senators that it will be passed there.
 The secretary of the interior is given authority under the bill passed today to sell the land which was reserved under the old law; and he also may wave the restriction that no home stead should exceed a distance more than 150 rods along any navigable water.

Leona Smith, the 10-year-old daughter of Bob Smith from the West Coast met with a painful accident last Tuesday at La Conte Bay aboard her fathers boat, the Valiant. Mr. Smith is engaged in getting glacier ice for the Wrangell Cooperative Association and the little girl, in playing about the winch, got caught in it, resulting in her arm being broken in three places and receiving in- juries about her head. She was rushed at once to the hospital in Petersburg.

Edward Ludecke Dies at Sitka at
 Ripe Age of 85
Came to Alaska as a Sol dier in 1865 - Was a Resident of Wrangell for Thirty-nine Years.

Mayor J. G. Grant on Friday of last week received a cable gram announcing the death of Edward Ludecke at the Pioneers Home at Sitka. The message stated that Mir. Ludecke had ex- pressed a wish to be buried in Wrangell. Mayor Grant at once cabled the authorities at the Pio- neers' Home to send the remains to Wrangell.
 The body will arrive On the Spokane. and the funeral will be under the auspices of the Arctic Brotherhood of which organiza- ton Mir. Ludecke was a member. Funeral notices will be issued la- ter announcing the exact time of the funeral.
 Mir. Ludecke visited Wrangell year ago to partipate in the memorial services. He was then in good health for one of his ad- vanced years.
 A notable incident in Mr. Lu- decke's life was his officiating at the hoisting of the first American flag ever raised in Alaska, which took place at Sitka more than 56 years ago.
 Mir. Ludecke enlisted for mili- tary service in San Francisco in 1865. He was stationed at Sitka from 1867 to 1869. After receiv- ing his discharge in 1869 he red mained in Alaska until 1872 when he went into the Cassiar. After spending several years in that region he took up residence in Wrangell, remaining here until his departure for the Pioneers home at Sitka seven years ago.
 Mir. Ludecke was wonderfully we'll preserved for a man of S5 years. Longevity seems to be characteristic of his family. He is survived by a sister who is 102 years of age.
