Thanksgiving
RED CROSS DRIVE TO
OPEN ARMISTICE DAY
Continued From Page II

the United States, and president OF
the American Red Cross, has issued
proclamation to the American people
announcing that the Red Cross An
nual Roll Call will begin Armistice
Day, November II, and continue
through Thanksgiving Day, November
"a. Sunday, November IS, has been
designated Red Cross Sunday.
President Harding, in his proclama-
ton, recommends to all ministers and
priests Of all congregations, to stress
the gospel of service on November
IS. The American Red Cross is both
the volunteer and semi-official me-
dunn through which the American
people may appropriately express
their patriotic and humane desires to
render practical assistance to their
soldiers and sailors, to their fellow
men in civilian life and to those peo-
pies who have human claim on the
sympathetic concern of our own peo-
pie.
AS a result of vast and varied en-
perience during the World war, the
American Red Cross has devised and
puJ lIlLO OpSldIlOl OH S\ISholNS Wv
nestle health and welfare program
whereby our communities are in
structed and directed in the solution
of those community problems upon
which the public welfare ultimately
rests.
The practical demonstration of this
feature of. the Red Cross work has
been given in a strong manner in the
city of Bemidji during the past year,
and especially so during the last two
or three months when epidemics OF
diphtheria, typhoid and scarlet fever
threatened, but which were overcome
through the work of the representa-
tive of the Red Cross society.
The local appeal will start Friday
and it is felt that in lieu of the service
which has been rendered in this com
munity, there should be generous
response.

Solves Lathe-Work Problems.

A very comprehensive machine-shop
rule, now on the market in New York,
makes possible the solution Of many
problems in connection with lathe
work, without the lengthy calculations
that would be otherwise necessary.
From graduations on one face of the
rule, which is about IN in. wide, there
can be read: the number Of revolutions
in proportion to the diameter of the
bar and the cutting and grinding
speed; the time. required to turn or
grind bar in proportion to its length.
and rate of feed and revolution; the
volume of metal removed in proportion
to the depth Of cut, the rate of the
feed and its speed;> and the area
machined in proportion to the rate
of the feed and. the cutting speed. On
the other face Of the rule are very
complete inch and metric graduations,
so that it can be used as an ordinary
measuring rule.-Popular Mechanics

THE,LiTTLE ROAD.
By,Charles SGghroe
o Western Newspaper Union =

Did you ever notice a little road
That you didn't wonder where 1t led?
Whether-after the cool, green wood
1t CHANGED on the dell where your dream
house stood?
Notwithstanding dusty and rough,
1t keeps up the pretense just long enough
To tire those who haven't the; clew,
And leave the adventure-and end-to
you?
Maybe it leaves the highway to follow
Up, swooping up like the flight of sWal-
low
Till valley and town lie dim below,
And Time flies far on the winds that
blow,
There you may find nook for your
q" dreaming,
Seeming,
Just planned for you from the Eden
glow.
So the little road cries to me: "Fellow,
follow,
Maybe you'll find that your dreams are
hollow.
Maybe you'll see-but follow, follow,
Come with the faith Of the homing swal-
low,
Or to your death, you will never Know

superstitions Of the Airman.

It has been noticed lately at the
London air stations that one express
pilot before ascending walks along the
same strip of grass to reach his
machine and moves round the tall of 1t
always in the same particular way.
This, he says, is his invocation to the
god of chance.
Instances are coming to light of the
superstitions of the airman. The other
day, just before a machine was to
leave, a notice board standing near it
fell. A friend laughingly said to the
pilot. you're in for rough trip"
The airman was indignant. "Don't
say Il thing like that he exclaimed,
replacing the board again. Telling the
tale afterward the pilot said: Il was
not a bit surprised when not long
after I had started my engine sud
denly gave trouble and forced me to
land."-From the Continental Edition

Making a Church "Pay."

The Union church on West Forty
ninth street. New York, is cutting up
a new wrinkle once again. Years back,
writes correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune. it erected
"A huge electric sign. facing Broadway,
to advertise it's services. All of which
was considered horrible and every
thing until the legitimacy of the en-
deavor was realized. Other clergymen
duplicated the idea. We have electric
signs in front of, churches here. But
now the Union church is renting its
community rooms for theatrical re-
hearsals. Their rates are cheap and
producers are lining up for dates. New
gasps of amazement are being heard.

Invents Spring Lamp Post.

Enter now, the spring lamp post-a

many automobile wrecks In the old
days when lamp, posts were the main
support of certain gentlemen in the

lamp post, of course, would have been
out of the question. But today it is
different. When an automobile hits
this safety post, which was invented
by C. C. Veneman Of Chicago, the post
bends. allowing the auto to pass over
it without serious injury. Then the
spring will pull the post back to its
upright position. d.

Amusing Story of Logging
Days At Old BrOckway

The first church in Brockway
was built in 1865 as a union
church by the Baptist, Presby-
terians and Methodist Episcopals,
and | think the first sermon was
preached by our old Lester
Clark, who travelled this district
for so many years as a missionary
doing good for his Master. | think
the first school teacher was Miss
Maggie Mcdonald.
The first grist and saw mill was
also built by the BrOckways and
was run by water power, and the
grinding was by the stone pro-
cess.
Some of the amusing incidents
of those early days were watch
ing the running of logs down
Mill creek. The most perilOus
was riding big log over the dam.
But two men had daring enough
to do it, The water just below the
dam was thirty or forty feet deep
and man and log would go over
the dam and go clear out of sight,
man and all, in the deep hole, and
come up right side up
Another amusing incident will
call the Battle of the Pine Logs"
a genuine marine battle with
about a hundred young river driv-
ers on each side. The crews were
those of Sandy VanWagoner and
Alex Christie, and the battle took
place on saw logs in the Brock
way mill pond. One crew had
their drive pretty we'll through
the dam, all but their rear, when
the other crew came down with
their Jam and wanted to get it
ahead Of the other rear, and the
one crew would drive their logs
against the other fellows log so
las to knock him off into the
creek. 1t lasted all Sunday fore
noon and there was scarcely a
man who did not take his Sum
day morning bath.

OLD LANDMARK RAZED.

Workmen have been busy this
week tearing down the old black
smith shop, corner Main and Me-
chanic streets, which will be re-
placed by a fine filling station by
the Standard Oil Co.
This old landmark was built in
the early seventies by Darcy Bros.
(Thomas and William) and was
used as a wagon shop. The pro-
duct of this firm is still in use
by some of the older farmers and
every once in while we see a
wagon driven into town with their
trademark on.
Thomas Darcy, who continued
the business after the death of
his brother, sold the shop to Lewis
Armstrong about twenty years
ago, when he and family moved
to Los Angeles. Mr.. Armstrong
sold the property to Shaw 4
Johnston who continued in the
old stand until Mr.. Shaw had to
retire on account of sickness, he
selling his . interests to Thos
Johnston, who sold to the oil com
pany.
There are only few Of the old
landmarks left, and we think il
would be a good idea to have pho.
tographs Of them taken to hano
down to future generations.
