Nice, France, February 10.--With
the first shot CT the Battle of Flow

national social season was open
ed-and today for the first time in
five pears, life here had regained it's
gayety and brillancy.
Beginning with today's festivities,
the seasons dates, as announced by
the Cannes committee on fetes, in
Cludes the Horse Show, March to

to %: Automobile Gymkhana, March
% to 80. The second battle Of roses

Miss Florence Whipple, the county
Red Cross nurse who is doing valiant
service during the influenza epidemic
by visiting the different parts of the
in touch with the local physicians in
every locality, and under their direc-
ton visiting the homes where influ-
enZa or pneumonia exists and giving
instructions as to the best way to care
for the patients. AS the scarcity CT
nurses is q serious problem, the Red
Cross is serving the people of the
county in a most splendid way by
providing such an efficient and ex-
prienced instructor in this branch OF
work.
The three days OF last week were
spent by Miss Whipr!e at Minnesota
Lake, which though geographically
situated in Faribault county, has al
ways formed part of Blue Earth
county, in Red Cross work. The fol
lowing Thursday was spent in visiting
the sick at Judson, then Friday and
Saturday were devoted to the same
work at Lake Crystal. Monday and
Tuesday of this week Miss Whipple
worked md near Amboy, with We'd
nesday and Thursday at Madison Lake
st. Clair will be the next community
visited.
1t is to be devoutly hoped that Miss
Whipple may he able to stand up un-
der the many calls made upon her
time and energy as ii would be impos
sitle to secure any one to take> up
her work at this time.
Miss Helma' Micken, the Red Cross
nurse for the city of Mankato, is con-
stantly making calls, covering her
large territory rs rapidly and as eff
iciently as possible. The need of an
assistant issfelt most keenly, but UP
to the present n,oment no one who
is fitted to take up the eXacting duties
of the visiting nurse, and who is free
to do so has been found.
The parochial school nursing is
also under Miss Micken's supervision
SO that her duties are many indeed
but she has in some way managed to
respond to every call
At the Red Cross headquarters a
registry of practical nurses, and vol
unteer helpers is kept, but there are
many more calls for nurses than there
are nurses to answer them.

You must understand that there
were two stages in the committee
meetings" Mr.. Ellsworth said. 1.-The
drst was the public hearings. Usual
ly only four or five house members
attended these. Then came the ex-
ecutive sessions, attended by sixteen
or seventeen members. There are
twenty one members of the commit

What Eseh Says.
Chairman Esch of the committee is
authority for the statement that Ellis
worth did not attend to exceed five
times.

witness before the committee, said
ne never saw Mr.. Ellsworth present.
But anyway Mr.. Ellsworth is
against the return of the roads and

Greatly Encouraged; What
Accomplished
Especial to Free Press. I

Cambria, February Son January
81 meeting was held at Wcodman
hall for the purpose of organizing a
church in Cambria. 1t was passed
that the name of the religious organ
ization be "The Cambria Presbyterian
church" 1t was expected that Rev.
w. e. Evans of Mankato would be
present, Rev. H. c. Griffiths of Lake
Crystal, Rev. E. w. Griffiths of Cam
bria and Messrs. Owen Hughes of
Lake Crystal and John Z. Jones of
the Bethel church took part in the
meeting. Owing to Illness in his
family, Rev. Evans was absent, so the
work was carried on by the other
two ministers and the two visiting
deacons. Thirty-one signed as char
ter members that night and new names
are, still being added to the list.
1t was expected for several months
that Cambria would organize as they
had carried on meetings successfully
and earnestly for over a year. having
Sunday school each Sunday afternoon
and Christian Endeavor meetings and
preaching service on Sunday even
ings. Rev. E. w. Griffiths, pastor of
the Horeb and Bethel churches, two
county churches, very ably and pro-
ficiently filled the position at Cam
bria as the regular minister. The
visiting ministers to preach at Cam
bria during the year were Rev. Balm
and Rev. T. Ross Paden Of Mankato.
The meetings during the year were
held at Woodman hall. There is a
possibility that the members will have
a basement and foundation for a new
church edifice the coming spring and
arrange the basement so that meet
ings can be held there until the mem
bers can see their way clear financi-
ally to have a splendid new edifice
which will be a pride to the village

ing. 1t is also expected that within

Shepard of Hills
If Departure from
Screen Production

Harold Bell Wright's Shepherd Of
tine Hills shown last night at the
Sugg, is a distinct departure from
the Usual screen production.
It's difference could be nnalyzed
perhaps, as departure in the metn
cd of directing the filming process
and the acting of the characters
The directing of the filming process
was exclusively handled by Mr.
Wright himself and the result is a
picture t.at gives more the efiec
of reading the book than in seeing
the production on the screen.
There is no departure from the
book The story is followed to the
letter and one of the main features
of the piece is that in all but three
instances. the characters appearing
on the screen are mountaineer types
picked by Mr. Wright from the
Ozarks and trained by him for the
production. The postmaster, one of
the most characteristic types in the
entire piece is the mountaineer whom
Nh Wright mad in mind when he
wrote his part of the story into the
hook.
Practically all the settings are
r9al. Mountain cabins, scenes, trails
are all of the Ozarks. If this is true
the characters are just as much a
part of the scenery" as is any "set'
in the entire piece.
The production will be staged
gain at the Sugg tonight.

Baptist Churches
Are Aided Through
The Building Fund

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 20,-During the
past six xmonths 200 Baptist churcA-
es in the southern states have re-
ceiyed financial assistance to the
amount of more than 100000 either
IN the form OF loans or gifts from
the church building fund administer
ed by the Southern Baptist conven-
tion, according to announcement
made from the headquarters of the
board in Atlanta. OF this sum ap.
proximately $4,000 was inJthe form
of gifts and $lSS,OOO in loans. This
record far surpasses anything of the
kind in the history of the church
extension department of the board
and is expected to be exceeded dur
ing the present year owing to the
fact that the church building fund
has been augmented by $1,0O0,000
from the $75,000,O00 campaign, which
came to a successful close in De
cember.
Remarkable progress has been
made by the church extension de
plrtment during the three years of
its existence, according to facts sub
mitted by Dr. B. d. Gray, cores
ponding secretary and executive
head of the board. At the time OF
the establishment of the fund there
were more than 1000 homeless con.
gregations in the eighteen states of
the southern Baptist convention
These churches ewre fully organic
ed and were served by pastors, but
had no church building in which to
worship. They used school houses,
vacant stores and buildings and in
some instances quarters formerly
occupied by saloons under the wet
regime. There was one church in a
southwestern state called the First |
Baptist Groggery" due to the fact |
that it occupied an abandoned bar |
room
Cognizant of the results achieved |
by the church extension department |
Of the southern Methodists, the Bap- |
fists established a similar phase of !
activity and in three years have |
built more than 700 churches by !
leans and gifts.
More than 100000 has been loan
ed in this mlnner, without single |
penny of loss, according to DR.. |
Louis B. Warren, superintendent cf |
this department. of the board. APP |
plicatinos are now on file for more |
than $1,000000 and every effort is
being made to meet the majority of |
these requests during the present |
year. The general policy is to re-
duce the number of gifts and en-
courage loans, the board taking the
pcG.t!on that straight out gifts tend
to reduce the morale of a congrega-
ton
