Windmiils Tell News In Holland.

Births, marriages and deaths in cer-
tain parts of Holland are announced by
windmills. When miller gets married
he stops his mill with the arms of the
wheel in slanting position, and with
the sails unfurled. His friends and
guests frequently do likewise with
their mills In token Of the ceremony.
To indicate birth the wheel Is stopped
in slanting position, but at more
acute angle than that of marriage, and
with the two upper sails unfurled.
Should miller die, the sails of the
mill are all unfurled and the wheel Is
turned round until the arms form an
upright cross, In which position they
are left until after the funeral takes
place.

Again the American people are
brought face to face with golden
opportunity to assist in the solution
of Humanity's problems: An oppor-
tunity to show forth the real sym
pathetic heart; An opportunity to
prove that great commonwealth
will not forget; An opportunity to
demonstrate the undying determine
tion to carry on in times of peace as
well as in times of war. This oppor-
tunity comes in the form of an APP
peal for the American Red Cross.
On November III the campaign be-.
gan all over the county as well ~
over the whole United Sts,, y, s,es for
funds to enabltsh e. she Red Cross to
I 1Sein 80 n rs work in the future as
&C mas done in past years. In order
to do what is expected of tin or
der to do what must be done in this
county during the coming year, the
Red Cross must have at least six
thousand dollars. In county of
twenty-five thousand people and in a
county which few years ago gave
.forty-eight dollars for such work, ii
seems that goal of six thousand
dollars should be easily reached,
To tabulate some of the results Of
the past years work of the Red Cross
is but to remind you of what you as
county have done through your
agency the Red Cross. Our Exc ,utive
Secretary travelled more than six
thousand miles visiting the branches
and families in the county; almost
four thousand people wanting help Of
one kind or another passed through
the office at headquarters in Pendle-
ton. Almost thousand ex-service
men were helped in various ways.
Back pay from the Government
amounting to twenty-seven thousand
dollars was secured for them. The
reinstating of war-risk insurance
amounted to forty-eight thousand dol"
lars.
Forty soldiers had lost their army
discharge papers and without which
not cent of money could be claimed
from the Government. The Red Cross
got for these boys Certificates in
Lien" and they were able to present
their claims in order. The Red Cross
was instrumental in securing over
eighty thousand in actual cash for
county ex-service men, while almost
half million dollars will come into
this county through the aid that the
Red Cross has given relative to bon
us and loan papers.
The Red Cross is working in clos
est unison with the County Court.
Many cases have been cared form
vestigations made.-information Sec
ured,--relief afforded without de-
lay,--service rendered many families
as well as individuals,--cases which
belonged strictly to the county court
which paid the bills but the Red Cross
did the work. We must keep in mind
that the Red Cross is the central
agency for welfare work in the eoun-
ty.
What does it all mean? Just this;
