JUST ONE DOLLAR
 On Saturday Nov, 20. solicitors for the fourth annual Red Cross drive will call on every person in the town of Seward. They will ask you to become a member of the most wonderful or ganization of its kind in the world. One dollar will be sufficient to enroll you as a member. Prior to Saturday those wishing to do so can drop in the Sexton Hotel and pay their dollar and receive a receipt and a button which every member is entitled to wear. The following statement made by Presi- dent Wilson covers the subject thor oughly:-
 WASHINGTON, Nov, IT. Presi- dent Wilson has urged his fellow countrymen" to join the Red Cross ''iu impressive numbers" during the fourth annual roll call to be held dur ing the fortnight beginning Armistice Day.
 "The American Red CrosS," said the President, deserves a hearty re- Sponse to its fourth invitation to an- nuai membership, which will be issued during the fortnight beginning Nov. 1lth. Armistice Day.
 Under the stimulus of war and through the cooperation of our people, this organization grew into immense size, enlarged it's range of activity, served not only our fighting forces hu, also civilians involved in the hard slips of war in our own nation and in the nations associated with us in a great common enterprise, and gave to the world an example of effective mercy through coordinated effort.
 Since the cessation of hostilities the organization has faced dual du- N: Filst, to fulfill obligations creat- ed by the war, and, secondly, to odopt its experience and machinery to the Feeds of peace.
 ''lt is, today, still assisting govern mental agencies in the care and cheer C1 our disabled soldiers and sailors, in replacing those able to work in civil ian occupations, and in counciling and aiding the families of former combat ants; and it is still assisting, with di- unfinished resources, the process of re- mobilization in some of the more pros trated countries of our folmer assoc iates.
 While continuing these manifest obligations, the Red Cross has been accommodating methods and applying ln.-,>,S, lo..ool ;,> ,,,,. t, <ho no~,,ol needs of our own people in times of peace, especially in regions where pro- visions for public health and welfare were imperfectly developed. It has placed public health nurses in many localities, and has endeavored to en- list greater numbers of young women in the nursing profession in order that the supply might more early equal the steadily increasing demand for com munity nurses. It has devised sche. me of "pubhc health centers" for the relief of maladies and for instruction in hygiene, dietetics, and general prin- ciples of disease-prevention. With it's nurses and nurses aides it has rem tiered incalculable service in the ser ious epidemics of influenza. 1t ha. carried instruction in hygiene and first aid into schools, the women's clubs, and the homes of our country. 1t has taught young and untaught mo- thers how to care intelligently for their babies, and has done much in uiany ways to promote child welfare,

The Gateway has no direct con- lection with the Radio station but oc- casionally we pick up q flash of news .egarding one of the inhabitants ot .he Navy town. Last night we caught message relative to Dad Martin. You'll remember Dad. He's the guy vho does circus stunts. An acrobat md a tumbler. Recently he flip-flOp- ped off of barrel and mighty near cracked his spinal column. We'll he has recovered and at the present time he IS just as ornery as he ever was. The wireless we caught mentioned the fact that he had taken to writin' jingle 'erse and now aspires to outrival old Walt Mason. Here is sample Dad :urned out recently.

PERT PARAGRAPHS OF SENSE AND NONSENSE FOREIGN AND LOCAL, CAUGHT ON THE
 FLY BY THE HUMAN :, TOOTHPICK

We were told this morning that the population of Seward had been in- creased by the addition of two gold fish: These fish arrived from some- where and are now listed among the live members of the community. We have been wondering whether the dut- ies of the Fish Inspector make it nec- essa ny 1o,' 'him to keep tabs on the go fisli. N.e failed to see any report relative to any acid test which has been anlde to determine whether these gold fish are real or just plated. If they are real their value will undoubt- cdiy be increased by the passage of the Gold Bonus Bill. If they are not real they should be listed according to their financial value. Fish is fish, but when it comes to the gold kind it seems to us that. if they are real they should be taxed according to their real value and the proper report made to the public.

 TYPHOID SCARE

The state department of health is cooperating with the board of health of Middletown in its efforts to trace the source of the epidemic of typhoid fever there. The milk and water supplies have both been eliminated as possible sources and that state health authorities believe that the six cases in Middletown are the result of the presence of a typhoid carrier; that is a person who has had the disease and has recovered but is still capable of giving off the germs.
 The six cases have been scattered through the town, which makes it more difficult to trace the source of the disease. There has been one death. One of the cases was an Italian. boy who had been in the habit of swimming in the Connecti- cut river near the sewage outlet and it is thought that he contracted the disease from this source. State health authorities believe that they have the situation in hand, there hav- ing been no new cases reported for three days

 Tn 1913. the last year when con- ditions were normal in Russia, ex- ports were valued at 1,50O, 900, 900 gold rubles. Or $75O,00o,00O. The greatest single item in the export list was grain.

With it's reduced area. with the breaking up of big estates. lack of machinery and ruin wrought by continuous war in many of it's most fertile areas it may be affirmed the grain harvest of the soviet republic will scarcely reach 31,- 50o,000 tons annually. One cannot count on any considerable exporta- tion of grain from soviet Russia in the immediate future. So far as Si- beria and the provinces in Central Asia are concerned they used to pro- duce 800 pounds of grain for each inhabitant. The civil war must have reduced the normal very considerably and it is doubtful whether any con

 Colonel Englehard says livestock of all sorts has been reduced so greatly by the war that 1t is impossible to consider the exportation of meat or
 live animals. The civil war in the Don and Kuban wiped out the sheep there and make the extensive eXpor-
 tation of wool impossible. The sugar

 For the first week in August the movement of soft coal via water to New England was 256,000 tons. This is at a monthly rate of 100000 tons which is only 10000 tons less than the aggregate shipments contenplat- ed under service order No. Il, of the interstate commerce commission. In June, 1920, the New England move ment was only 772,000 tons.
 The geological survey report for the week ending August 7 shows a de crease in the total production of soft coal. The chief cause was the strikes in the Illinois fields, which should not materially affect the New England supply. The output for this year to August z is 45, 100000 tons ahead of last year, but 3s.OO0, 900 tons behind 1918, and 18,25O, 600 tons behind 1917.
 The increase in both al-ra1 and water shipme ents of coal to New Eng land, together with the decrease in export of coal resulting from service order No. Il, are distinctly encourag- ing facts, though the situation as a whole is still far from satisfactory.

RUSSIAN EXPORT TRADE OUTLOOK
 NOT PROMISING
Will Not Be Able to Send Out Raw Materials for
 Long Time

Constanainople, Aug. 20.-RusSia' S ability to export raw materials in the near future has been greatly overeS- timated by foreign countries in the opinion of Colonel B. Englehard. for merly a member of the Russian Du- ma and a student of economic condl- tions in Russia before and after the Revolution. In a talk with The Asso- ciated Press correspondent he said that foreigners seem to fail to realize the collapse of the Russian transpor- tation systems, reduced man-power and rundown condition of the Rus sian farm lands.
 This comment was evoked by re- ports of the negotiations of Russian economic agents with Premier Lloyd George in London and the announce ment that the United States had lift ed prohibitions upon American trade with Soviet Russia.
 Colonel Englehard is confident that Russia will again play an important role in European markets but, he said, "the revival of Russian trade will not come until there shall be established a normal state of life when men shall renounce attempts of es- tabishing immediately the paradise of communism.
 '.It should be borne in mind that European Russia has been greatly re- duced in size.'' said Colonel Engle- hard "Former1y it had over 5,000,- 900 square kilometers of land an6 157,o0O,0oo inhabitants.
