FOURTH ROLL CALL OF
 AMERICAN RED CROSS
Will Be Held from November 14th to
 20th

The fourth annual roll call of the American Red Cross will be held throughout the nation from Novem- Der 14th to goth. Locally the roll call will probably be made a one- day canvass throughout the village, when old members will be asked to renew their membership and others to place their names on the books of the greatest organization for relief of the suffering in the world.
 President Wilson Sunday urged his fellow countrymen" to join the Red Cross Gin impressive numbers" during the fourth annual roll call to be held during the fortnight begin ming Armistice Day.
 "The American Red Cross", said the President, deserves a hearty response to its fourth invitation to annual membership, which will be issued during the fortnight begin ming November II, Armistice Day. Under the stimulus of war and through the cooperation of our peo- pie, this organization grew into i'm mense size enlarged it's range of ac- tivity, served not only our fighting forces but also civilians involved in the hardships of war in our own na- tion and in the nations associated with us in great common enter prise, and gave to the world an ex- ample of effective mercy through co-ordained effort.
 "Since the cessation of hostilities the organization has faced dual duty: First, to fulfill obligations ere ated by the war, and, secondly, to adapt its experience and machinery to the needs of peace.
 "It is, today, still assisting govern mental agencies in the care and cheer of our disabled soldiers and sailors, in replacing those able to work in civilian occupations, and in counselling and aiding the families of former combatants; and it is still assisting, with diminished re- sources, the process of rehabilitation in some of the more prostrated coun- tries of our former associates.
 While continuing these manifest obligations, the Red Cross has been accommodating methods and apply ing lessons learned in war to the normal needs of our own people in times of peace, especially in regions where provisions for public health and welfare were imperfectly devel- oped. 1t has. placed public health nurses in many localities, and has endeavored to enlist greater ,num- bers of young women in the nursing profession in order that the supply might more nearly equal the steadily

E. O. WAGNER GIVES
 $2,5OO TO CAMPAIGN
Interesting Statement Filed By Him With Sec
 retary

Ernest O. Wagner of Salisbury, defeated candidate for lieutenant governor, spent $2,500 and Emil Marzano of Hartford, unsuccessful candidate for state treasurer, parted with SLIGO in the face of certain defeat, during the recent political campaign. Charles A. Goodwin, of Hartford, who headed the republl- can presidential electors, spent $25 which went to the treasurer, of the republican state central committee. Another contract was afforded by the account of John F. Burton of Hartford who spent $40.50 as a pro- hibition presidential elector.
 Candidate Wagner penned some interesting lines on his return sheet and it appears that MT. Wagner was less concerned about the success of his candidacy than in disseminating the truth of the league of nations" 1" Mr. Wagner's contribution to the democratic state central committee was $2,250. MT. Wagner spent $15O for automobiles. -..
 Another line in the election ex- pense statement chronicles the fact that MT. Wagner paid $100 for the use of the Winsted Opera House but how many performances were put on by the democracy of Litchfeld coun- ty is not known. Accompanying the statement relative to the contribu- ton to the democratic state central committee MT. Wagner wrote this !: Permit me to say that I did not spend or cause to be spent one cent to further my own political fortunes neither did I ask, a single man or woman to vote for me-"
 "Whatever was given as per above" MT. Wagner wrote on his statement, "was for the express pur- pose of disseminating truth concern ing the league of nations Then in red ink MT. Wagner declared that, although he was also candidate for lieutenant governor on the prohibi- tion party ticket, he gave not one cent to that party.
 Donald J. Warner, successful re- publican candidate for secretary of state, spent $279.25 of which $250 was contribution to the republican national and state campaign fund.

C. ". E. TRAIN KILLS
 ONE AND INJURIES TWO
Auto Truck, Furniture Laden,
 Destroyed by " Te Fire

Buried beneath furniture which had caught fire following the explo- sion of a gasoline tank, three men who were riding in large auto truck when it was side-swiped and dltched by a west-bound Central New Eng land passenger train on Moore's crossing, east of Salisbury, Sunday noon, would have been burned to death but for timely action of Henry and John Bonhotel, who, seeing the van hurled down 12-foot embank- ment, hurried to the scene and res cued the imprisoned men before the flames rachd thm. One of the men, John F. Rippen of Suffern, N. Y., about 50 years old, died 10 mlnutes after being taken from the deDrls. Frank Doyle, 19, also of Suffern, drl- yer and part owner of the truck, and Charles Hoffman, IT, of Ramsey, N. J, were taken to the hospital in Sharon, after being attended by Dr. William Bissell of Lakeville, medical examiner for the town of Salisbury. Doyle is seriously injured and con- cussion of the brain :s feared. He has IS cuts on the head and face, received when the windshield smash ed. in addition to other injuries about the head and left knee. He also suffered painful burns. Hoffman has an injured right ankle. Both men were reported as resting com fortably in the Sharon hospital.
 The truck, loaded with household goods, enroute to Ramapo, N. r., from Lee, Mass, was travelling west to Salisbury, the same direction as the train, when thrown off the track. The three men in the truck were rid ing on the seat in the cab. The truck landed right side up in ditch at the foot of the embarkment with the men pinned beneath the furni- ture, which ignited after the gasoline blew up. The Bonhotel brothers, living near the grade crossing, has tened to the scene and rescued the imprisoned men. All the household goods and the truck, with the excep- ton of the iron parts, were destroy cd by fire. ".
 An automobile passed over the crossing just before the truck reach ed the tracks, and belief is enter tained that the men in the truck were not on the lookout for train, because the tracks are visible from the highway at considerable dis tance from the crossing. The noise of the truck, it is believed, drowned the noise of the approaching train. Furthermore, the forward end of the truck was curtained on both sides, making it the more difficult for the men in the cab to see. the train.
 Conductor Theodore Shook and Engineer John Kane, both of Hart ford, were in charge of the train, which leaves Hartford at 8:38, Ca naan at II :3O and is due at Salisbury at Il :59:
 Charles Cowalick of Lee, Mass, was the owner of the furniture.

 Throughout the conference, the note which was emphasized was the necess ityof continuing the work now being done in the devastated re- gions of Armenia, Mesopotamia and Palestine. Conditions as they exist ed in these lands was reviewed at length by men who have only re- gently returned from them. As might have been expected at a con- ference which was for workers who are directing the state work, much of the time was devoted to a discussion of methods by which the organization could perform its duties more eff ciently.
 Mrs. Joseph L. Parsons, Mrs. Rob- ' ert Black, Mrs. Charles Adam and Rev. F. H. Neal were the delegates who attended from this town.

, There are 4,160 less farms in Con- necticut this year than 10 years ago, according to the agricultural census of the United States just announced.

Connecticut's present allotment of infantry is only four companies, or one battalion, where before the war the state had two regiments.

"The three outstanding results of
prohibition" he said "are the saving
of about two billion dollari' waste in
expenditure, a tremendous increase in
the efficiency of labor and startling
decrease in crime with it's attendant

"From the standpoint of practical
