led to absolutely the best adYantaSe
 Thirty three millions of dollars is to be raised to feed three million and a half starving children in Flu rope. Three and half million child ren without food, clothing or medical attendance. In many places there are little bands of children from five to ten, ;, years of age wandering through the snow without home, par ents or guardians. Can you or any other Alaskan visualize these little bands and refuse to work for them or to give for them?
 Think of our warmy clad, happy youngsters and then of those haggard little faces and little hands held out to us in appeal.
 Every man and every woman knows some little kid. Could you stand to see that little kid wretched unhappy, dying?
 Alaskans have always been proud of their treatment of children. Our children are unusually healthy and happy. Let us help children, too who are not Alaskan children.
 Mir Hoover wires that the drive will last through the month oi January.
 I am appointing a central advisory committee and a chairman for each of the several districts.
 I trust that we can perfect an or ganization which will reach into ev cry town, settlement and voting pre- cinct in Alaska. If every person will give only a little, even during this slack season, Alaska can keep up her reputation for being the most warm hearted and generous political unit of the United States.
 Every charitable, fraternal or social organization, every church and com mercial body should be asked to get behind this great movement for the welfare of suffering children.

Tribes Arc Called Menace to Nation
al Life-Restrietion Considered.
The history Of the legal status Of
gypsies, their treatment in various
countries, and the penalties and in
f1ictions to which they have been sub
jected would, in the opinion of the
Christian Ecience Monitor, form an
interesting chapter in the history Of
modern civilization. -
Their appearance in any district
always has led to trouble, and now,
after number Of years Of sojourn in
Guildford, England, the rural district
council has come to the conclusion
that the gypsy nuisance is becoming
a menace to national life, and has
asked restrictive legislation with
proper provision for sanitation. It is
suggested they be given restricted
areas with proper encampments.
There is traditiin that the
gypsies are descenden from the gold
smith who made the golden calf of
Biblical history; but they never
really were goldsmiths, but itinerant
smiths or iron workers, and they still
retain the name Of their trade The
Gu1ldford council would seek to have
them return to their trade and forget
trading In chickens and horses, and
their casual employment which has
not found favor with their neigh
bors.

An Incident of Red
Cros. Work Done at
Our DUN Doorsteps

II Is two years since that unforget-
able time when Spanish influenza
struck at Marshalltown We had
watched its ravages as 1t came creep
ing west leaving thousands Of new
graves behind It. We had sat in
terrible suspense awaiting the fate
ful kilograms from the camps where
our sons were gathered and read the
censored news with a daily chill at
out hearts. And then the terror struck
the city and the country side at home.
We remember 1t. No nurses were to
be had. The doctors we're working
like sleep walkers from exhaustion.
Whole families lay without aid ofIany
kind. Death stalked triumphant thru
the homes OF rich and poor. sa
Then what? The Marshall County
Red Cross had funds supplied by a
generous population. 1t decided to-
rent house to be used as n COM
mon hospital for those unable to Sc
cure aid and help. That was Satur-
day evening. BY Monday noon tie
house had been secured, cleaned and
equipped and was receiving patients.
There came to it little children ard
old age, families who had lain for
days without assistance. And they
found corps of competent nurses
and medical attention and food and
kfndest care. All Marshalitown and
it's nursing and medical force center
ed at the "flu hospital" The Red
Cross was the rallying point.

too small. The Y. NJ. c. "a. building
was taken over.
There were treated and cared for
In these hospitals 149 patients. OF
these 1876 recovered, fourteen died
Twenty-six of these patients were in
circumstances which permitted them
to pay the committee in charge a to-
tai Of $359.92. an average Of about
SIS for the twenty-six. There was
no charge made nor any questions
asked except as to the need Of the
patient an dhis ability to find help.
Soldiers and soldiers families came
first. Then those whose financial cir
cumstances gave them precedence but
the Red Cross hospitals were open to
all whose need was desperate.
That was at home, In Iowa and In
Marshall county which is the center
Of Iowa and Iowa prosperity. That
was at home when calamity hit us
comparatively light blow when ball
anced against the desperate condi-
tons that existed in other sections
Of this country and abroad. And it
was the work Of the Red Cross and
the kindly and Christian people who
gladly heard the call of the Red
Cross.
That's all-except that the, drive
for Red Cross membership is on Iii
Marshall county.
Shall Marshall county forget?
