home city and to old time friends is a
beautiful trait of his character.
While he is much buster man than
formerly he is still the same congenial
fellow and 1t is to men like Eddie
Ramsey that Ardmore owes its reputa-
ton for hospitality and it is to such
men as he that we owe credit for the
attraction which this city has to out
side investors.
Eddie Ramsey has the wealth to build
a monument in this city to himself
that will keep in mind fr all time TO
come the achievements of the. Ardmore
youth whose meteoric career is with
out parallel in any oil town of any
state in the union.
Strange as 1t may seem he has not
profited so much from the local fields
but he has invaded Louisiana, Texas,
Kansas, California and Arkansas. He
has selected acreage with a rare insight
into value. He has purchased in vast
tracts and it is remarkable that he
could buy with. such judgment.
Wherever a great field is discovered
1t seems that Ramsey has been there
flrst ana owns vast acreage DouBht
at small price. His California hold
ings are worth millions and the same
can be said Of his acreage in Arkansas
and when the discovery well was
brought in near Amarillo he had been
there first and held more Than 100000
acres.

The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-11-24

The poets OF the present and of the
past have embodied their gratitude
for the blessings of the year in verse
At times the burden of their song has
incorporated the time-honored custom
by which one day of the year is set
apart for the giving of thanks.
Perhaps Thanksgiving recalls to
them mothers ingenuity and skill in
making pumpkin pies, and so in q
quantity humorous way the poet paws
tribute to the pumpkin and the prod
uct thereof.
Again the spirit of these November
poems embodies a Thanksgiving Joy
and freedom from sorrow for health
and happiness; for things spiritual and
physical.
AT any rate, ever since ThankSgiy-
ing has been proclaimed a national
holiday the poet has found inspiration
for his art and by means of his verses
has awakened 4 sympathetic chord in
the breasts Of many men and women.
Although nearly all Of the poems of
James Whitcomb Riley contain an es-
sence of this spirit of gratitude with
the existing order of things, some of
these are specifically devoted to the
day itself. Among these the poem
entitled Thanksgiving is one of the
best.

Pueblo Most Serious
BY far the most severe of the dis.
asters In the United States during the
period covered by the Red Cr0ss re
port was the Pueblo flood early in
June, 1921. The rehabilitation prob
lem confronting the Red Cross in
Pueblo was n of the most difficult
in recent years. When the first news
of the horror was flashed throughout
National Headquarters responded with
q grant of SOS, 900 for relief work.
Governor Shoup of Colorado, appre-
the long and successful expert
Of the Red Cross in organizing
disaster relief work, placed the en-
tire responsibility for the administra
ton Of relief in it's hands.
In response to appeals from Pres
dent Harding, Governor Shoup and
other governors of western states and
local chapters Of the Red
Cross and other community organiza-
ions, p~ublic-spirited citizens brought
he total contributed for Pueblo's re
labilitation to more than $325,0O0.
The terrible havoc wrought by the
ioOd waters is a matter of record. :
lore than 1900 homes were affected
nd 1851 persons were left homeless. :
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-11-24

Estimates of S500.000 as an absolute
minimum for rehabilitation were made
by Red Cross officials In charge Of the
relief work.
Fast Work in Wall Street
The Wall street explosion was nota-
BILE in hat relief workers of the Red
Cross were on the scene twenty min
utes after the disaster occurred. The
race riot al Tulsa also was unique in
disaster relief annals in that outside
of a small emergency relief fund con-
tributed by the Red Cross, the only
relief measures outside the city con-
sisted of the service of social work
ers, nurses and a trained executive
whose object was to assist local forces
in directing their own efforts.
In decided contrast with the pre-
vious year, only one tornado assumed
the proportions of a major disaster.
This occurred on April Is, in the Dor
der sections Of Texas and Arkansas
with the city of Texarkana as the
center. The significant feature of this
disaster relief work was the fact that
it covered so much rural territory as
to make necessary a large number of
relief workers.
The famine in China, necessitating
relief expenditures totalling more than
81 100000 by the American Red Cross
was by far the most serious Of the
foreign disasters in which the Red
Cross gave aid.
Builds Up Its Machinery
In connection with the administra-
tion of disaster relief measures, an in
creasing effectiveness on the part OF
the Red Cross to deal with emergen-
cies was manifested during the past
year. In 1913 Chapters of the Ameri-
Red Cross there have been formed
committees to survey the re.
sources of their respective communi-
and to be prepared in case Of
