at last, and thanks not a little to Mrs
Harding, who went with her husband
to the office and worked at his sidz,
the Star arrived" and its editor be-
came a power in the community.
Mrs. harding joined tho workers in
the newspaper office. She did no
writing. but took up the management
OF b circulation and the newsboys.
Literally she saved the pennies, TAX
ing them home from day to day until
the collection was large enough to be
banked. Mr.. Warwick. in his sketch
OF mis- former partner, says:
Il have seer w. @. marching down
to the bank with a gallon of pennies
in either hand. l was always curious
TO know how many pennies made a
gallon, but never found out"
There has never been a strike in
the office of the Star. H~arding's en-
ployes have always called him VIC"
and esteemed him as a comrade.
When his paper reached solid ground
he organized a stock company in
which h permanent employees own
shares. Today the Star could not be
purchased at any price. Its circula-
ton is the largest of any newspaper
in a city OF 10000 inhabitants In the
Middle West. 1t has a full t~elegraphic
service, eight linotype machines and
fifty employees. and is printed and pub
lished in its W building.
Largely through Harding's boosting
efforts, factories and railroad shops
have come to Marion until the one-
time farming town has become an
important manufacturing city.

ANNUAL ROLL CALL
CLOSES WEDNESDAY

The committee in charge of the
fourth roll-call CT the American Red
Cross is devoting the remaining DAYS
to a canvass for membership through
out Humboldt County. The work will
be completed next "wednesday.
In the year 1919 the membership
in Humboldt county was approximate
ly 1450. Last year. on tho third roll
cell, the membership dropped down
to about 500 members. The quota set
for this year is $50 members in this
county. The committee states that
unless more interest is shown by the
people of Humboldt county in the few
remaining days of the roll-call the
quota will not be obtained here and
the membership may fall below the
low figure of last year.
Duane Bush, chairman of the fourth
roll-call, said yesterday: The fourth
roll-call is not a campaign. 1t is
merely the yearly opportunity for
American men and women Il pay
their annual dues and renew their
memberships in the Red Cross.
The work of the Red Cross is
broader than it ever has been. There
is more work to do than ever before
and it cannot be done without the aid
OF the people"
On special request of the local COM
mittee, the following epitome of what
the Red Cross has lone i'll peace is
republished from headquarters liter
ature:
Since the armistice in 1918 the
American Red Cross has faced a ire
mendous and constantly changing
duty. 1t has cared for the necessities
of thousands of overseas me on
leave. 1t established itself at points
OF embarkation. Sent directors and
assistants on transports and met re-
turning soldiers and sailors at their
home ports.
1t intensified its work for the sick
and wounded in hospitals overseas
and established equal service in hos
pitfalls at home. 1t went with the army
OF occupation to CoblenZ, accompanied
the expedition to Archangel, went with
the troops sent to Siberia. 1t is still
working in sixty general and post
army hospitals and is actively serv-
ing in twenty naval sickbays.
At Evergreen, Md, it has established
and is carrying on the only recon
struction institution for blinded sol
diers. During the time of demobiliza-
ton its home service department
cared for more than eight hundred
thousand soldiers and sailors fami-

Dempsey was not a draft dodger dur

"He also was appearing In ilstic con-
tests al benefits for the different war
charities. BY this means approximate
~ 100000 for the various war funds.
