ANTIQUE TRAIN USED

Jim Hills first passenger train
made a twenty-five minute stop in
Cottonwood last Saturday afternoon
arriving at 8 o'clock, six hours later
than the schedule announced by
Agent Koelz in last weeks issue of
the Current. During the delay Mr..
Koelz was showered with questions
by children and others who were some
what impatient to await the arrival
of the belated train. Those expecting
to see an old, broken-down engine
were much surprised to see a we'll
preserved locomotive, truly antique
in type but almost spotless, showing
that the relic of the railroad had re-
ceived the best of care. The most
noticeable thing about the engine was
the 1aring smokestack which had the
appearance Of an inverted funnel.
The train was bound for Yankton to
be used in the dedication of the new
$780, 600 bridge over the Missouri
river, just recently completed, which
enables the Great Northern to make
short cut from the western oil fields
and sugar refneries. It was to be the
first train over the bridge.

And yet that is what the long hair

but if a woman have long hair it is
glory to her, for her hair is given
to her as veil?"

The new lantern Installed on the
lighthouse on Serpents' island, in the
Black sea, which is in the course-Of
reconstruction. started functioning reg

the Bucharest correspondent Of the
London Times.
The tower of the old lighthouse was
built by the Russians in 1910, but no
light was installed on it till 1856. when
by the Treaty of Paris the island
passed into the possession of Turkey.
The lighthouse was under the admin
istration of the Ottoman government
till 1879. and since then the European
commission O fthe Danube has been
responsible for it's maintenance and
working.
The tower and buildings were bonn
barded and destroyed by the German
cruiser Breslau on June %, 1917. since
when there has been only a small tenn
pOrary light on the island. The re-
construction of the lighthouse was be-
gun this year by the European COM
mission of the Danube. The tower has
now been erected, and the new lantern

factor in the peace time program OF
Redwood County.
After the tornado which on June
22nd caused so much loss and destruc-
ton in the counties of Lincoln, Lyon,
Murray, Cottonwood and Redwood the
Red Cross workers from each county
were among the first to enter the
field, doing everything they could to
assist in financial way, by donating
clothing and all other necessities.
Hundreds of dollars in labor was
donated throughout these counties in
assisting in the construction of tenn
porary and permanent buildings, re-
building of miles and miles of fences
which were torn and twisted, help
ing in clearing and hauling away
loads of debris from hundreds Of
acres of grainfelds. Without ready
finance the Red Cross could not have
accomplished what it did, neither could
we have assumed any responsibility
and naturally could not maintain the
position we now enjoy in the conf
dence Of the people.
For the welfare of our County it is
essential that the Red Cross stand
at attention with adequate funds to
meet the demands which may be
brought upon US. The only means we
through the Annual Roll Call for
memberships and only fifty cents of
each membership is RENTED to Ma
tional Headquarters for it's use, the
balance remaining for the work in
your own community. In the Red
Cross everybody is just as good as
everybody else, has just as much posi-
ton, responsibility and credit. This
is the feeling we have about it and
the feeling which we want everybody
else to have, because service does not
invite antagonism or any competition
except as to him, or her, who may
serve best, and the rewards are chiefly
the rewards which come from the
consciousness of having done well.
Every man, woman, and child in
the United States should be proud to
have the privilege of being a member
and a cO-worker in such an organiza-
ton. 1t is a privilege which every
one has a right to enjoy, and all the
people should have the opportunity
distinctly presented to them. "That
is the significance of our Annual Roll
Call"
The Redwood County Chapter Of

full for the loyalty and support which
it. has received in the past and we
again solicit your membership and
cooperation for the future.

Fresh Air for Health

Fresh air is natures best tonic
use more of it."
This is the slogan of Fresh Air
Week, which is observed in this state
under the direction of the Minnesota
Public Health Association as part of
the tuberculosis prevention program
supported by Christmas Seals. The
object of the campaign is to encour-
age out-of-doors sleeping for those
that can afford proper equipment to
keep warm; open-window sleeping
for all; and a more abundant use of
fresh air during the day in home
office, shop, school and elsewhere.
November is in too many homes
the beginning of an unhealthful shut
in existence which lasts until spring.
says the Fresh Air Week bulletin of
the Public Health Association. "Fresh
air is the cheapest and the best me-
dicine both for prevention of disease
and its cure known to man.
Patients at the tuberculosis sana-
toria of the state have demonstrated
the body-healing benefits of fresh air
and they have also proved that it is
possible to sleep out-of-doors in COM
fort in this climate in the winter
months. While out-of-doors sleeping
is not possible for all, every one can
sleep with their windows open. How
many of us are guilty of lowering our
bedroom window inch by inch as the
thermometer recedes degree by de-
gree! Remember the closed window
at night is the open door to tubercu-
losis! Sleep with your windows open
top and bottom no matter how cold
the night is-and put on all the extra
coverings necessary to keep warm
The danger of wasting fuel can be
eliminated by closing the bedroom off
from the rest of the house.
"Office, shops and homes should
guard against STIFFNESS and impure
air. Watch the thermometer tenn
perature of around 60 degrees F. is
best from the standpoint of comfort
and health" "Get out-of-doors fol
health; take some Of your recreation
in the open air."

Presbyterian Peanuts

aries in foreign lands sometimes build
better than they know. Just now
comes out of China piece of news
that puts commercial romance into
religion. The peanut, introduced
from America about thirty-five years
ago by missionaries, is said to enter
into China's foreign commerce to the
extent of millions of dollars annual
ly. 1t is an engaging story.
The Rev. DIR. Charles R. Mills, it
appears, when working under auspices
of the American Presbyterian Mis-
sion, was presented by a brother
clergyman with two quarts of goob-

simple process of getting the black
smith to witness mutual declarations
to this effect But the place remains
and all its traditions are intact.
Couples are still married by the
blacksmith who works the forge, but
he holds a government license as reg
istrar. Entry in his book of records
effects binding union only If one of
the couple to be married has resided
for three weeks in the parish OF
Gretna Green. During the war;, when
many thousands of workers were en-
ployed in cordite factory near by,
the blacksmith registrar was often
busy. Now the cordite works nre
closed and registration duties are light.
A medieval coach which is kept in a
shed adjoining the forge, still attracts
visitors from all parts of the world.

smithy may make mere horseshoes

The Red Cross IS
the Basis of
Human EndeavOr

Ever since the world WAS people
have struggled to uplift the human
race in the different nations and
among the different peoples. But
not until the Red Cross came into
being was there found universal
thought upon which every people, no
matter what it's religion or language,
agreed, and that was the conservation
of service to humanity.
The Red Cross emphasizes the fact
that it has no religion, no politics,
no nationality; that it has but one
thought that of consecrated service
to humanity. That is why we have
the Red Cross in all the countries of
the world. That is why person diff
ferent from us in point of religion,
nationality or language can be just
as devoted to the thought; just as
consecrated to humanity's service, as
we or any other people.
In 1905 our present Red Cross
Charter was granted by Congress and
the Red Cross became officially the
arm of the United States for certain
definite purposes-not limited to war
but required to perform stated SER
vices in the time of peace as well.
The charter placed responsibility
upon us. 1t requires us to keep this
organization going and requires US to
perform certain definite services for
the United States Army and Navy.
That is why our service to the ex-ser-
vice men becomes a matter of first
Importance.
The striking thing which has come
about in recent years is the service
which the Red Cross can and does
render in peace. The necessity is
clear for having an organization,
capable, efficient, and ready in every
country, city and village to respond
to disasters when they occur and to
carry on the activities that each COM
munity requires.
There is no hard and fast rule as
to what the Red Cross shall or can
do. 1t is not our policy to conflict
with other organizations devoted to
charity. We regard the Red Cross
as standing alone, having function
of it's own. The fact that the Red
Cross is National in it's character and
International in it's scope and is de-
voted to work entirely apart from
other activities, gives it a standing
and a position quite apart from any
other organizations.
The Red Cross cannot maintain it's
position unless there is conscious
ness of membership in the Red Cross.
In other words, the Red Cross is yours,
and unless you can be, consciously, a
member Of the organization with the
right to speak for the Red Cross and
the right to have it speak for you, it
cannot be the living force which it
now is.
1t is essential that the Red Cross
shall be financially able to meet en-
Urgency and to carry on the Home
Service and Child Welfare Work
which has become such an important
