chapters of it are printed in all KAN

She has realized the most sales from
''The Peace of the Solomon Valley"
which she wrote for the primary pur-
pose of reading at a. chautauqua in
Lincoln Park. Then she sent it to
the Ladies' Home Journal, from which
it was fired back with the usual
Thanks for letting -examine-it."
Then she offered it to Kansas news
paper man for $25 and again had it
refused. 1t was near Christmas time
and her publishers asked her for a
Christmas story, so she sent 1.-The
Peace of the Solomon Valley" After
it proved such a huge success the edi-.
tor of the Ladies Home Journal wrote
Mrs. McCarter asking her for a story
similar to the one they had refused.
That was her first and practically only
experience in the magazine world.
The essential qualities of all her
stories are hopefulness, naturalness
and cleanliness. Mrs. McCarter says
that she has never tried to write the
impossible, never dipped her pen in
slime, and never violated the deca-
logue and golden rule.
Doesn't Like Free Verse.
One would think that anyone who
could write Such beautiful descriptions
as Mrs. McCarter does could write
poems, but she says she just naturally
doesn't think in poetry.
She is very much opposed to free
verse.
Can you imagine" she asked, Ten
nyson's Crossing the Bar written III

tinguish free verse from an :; L is that

Mrs. Margaret Hill ~McCarter is an
exception to the saying that "a
prophet is not without honor save in
his own country
Mrs. McCarter has just added the
thirteenth book to her shelf of
writings, Homeland" which gives
promise of being as successful as the
rest Of her novels have been. The
story is different from the others in
that it is not a Kansas story. 1t por-
trays the true, rugged American man
who stands for fine things in his busi-
ness as well as in his home. and the
sterling, h-principled woman whose
wonderful art of homemaking has
helped to make America the great
country that it is.
When Mrs. McCarter was asked
what started her on her literary ca
reer she said that a little more than
twelve years ago, after writing numer
Gus papers and essays for club meet
ings and chautauQuas, it occurred to
her that perhaps she could write

Red Cross Roll Call.

The Iron County Chapter of the
American Red Cross is making prep
arations for the fourth annual roll
call, which is now in progress in the
country. The membership fee is one
dollar per year.
Committees will be appointed and
it may be decided to make a house to
house canvass and people will be So
licited individually to join the Red
Cross. 1t is earnestly hoped that all
will feel it duty to have their names
on the honor roll.
While we, as people are enjoying
peace and prosperity beyond all other
nations of the world, we must re-
member that the Red Cross is doing
a wonderful work in relieving suf
fering in Europe, and especially in
the Near East, where war and famine
are working sad havoc. The Red
Cross is also active in carrying aid to
places in the United States and Can
ada that are the scenes of disasters.
On such occasions the Red Cross is
always first on the scene with aid,
owing to it's wonderful organization.
1t is fully entitled to carry its banner
"At the Service of Mankind"

AUTO TOLL GROWS

The automobile hazard is steadily
increasing in Wisconsin as well as in
practically every other state. Dur
ing the ten-year period from 1912 to
1921 deaths due to automobile acct
dents have increased from 81 in
1912 to 205 in 1921. Following is
the tabulation of deaths from this
cause by calendar years during the
entire ten-year period:
1912-21, 1885, 1914-46,
1858, .19l6-76, 1917-112.
191s-131, 1919-137, 192O-139,
1921-2O5.
The facts will be presented to the
next legislature and it is hoped that
some plan can be worked out to re-
duce this large unnecessary loss.

WOMAN'S CLUB MAKES PLANS
FOR COMING YEAR.
Interesting Program for Years Work
Mapped Out.

At the regular meeting of the
Hurley Woman's club, which was
held in the American Legion rooms
. last Saturday Afternoon, seven new
members were accepted.
An interesting program for the
years work was mapped out. The
club voted to take up the reading
circle work under the direction of
Miss Margaret Hardie. Under the
new ruling which the state depart
ment has sent out fors this work, di-
plomas are issued only upon writing
of book reports upon the books read
These reports are sent in to the state
department through the office of
the county superintendent of schools.
The reading of four books is re-
quired before diploma is granted.
The study Of citizenship has been
taken up by the club through out
lines furnished by the Extension
department of the University of Wis
consin. The subject to be presented
at the next meeting will be, Laws
and How They Are Made" This
course should prove of benefit to all
women.
The club voted to have the secre-
tary communicate with DR.. Dorpat,
state health officer located at Rhine
lander, with view to obtaining free
anti-toxin for those in the community
who cannot afford it's use in sickness.
In recognition of Armistice Day,
Miss Hardie favored the club with
reading, SIN Flanders Fields"
Lunch was served by the hostess
ses, Mrs. A. l.. Ruggles, Mrs. M. R.
Holcomb and Mrs. F. A. Emunson.

One Amendment Adopted.

That one amendment to the state
constitution voted on at the recent
general election was adopted was the
indication when word came that Mil
waukee. had passed the jury amend
ment by a substantial majority, says
Madison dispatch.
At the office of the secretary of
state this amendment was only four
hundred behind and with the large
majority that has been reported from
Milwaukee and one other lake shore
county, it is practically certain that
this amendment has been adopted.
1t provides that in civil cases ten
out of jury of twelve can render a
verdict.
