RED CROSS AID
MOST EFFICIENT
Continued from front page.)

due to the disaster and to emergency
housing conditions thereafter. Quite
as a matter of course he has the aid
of a director of nursing with staffs
of bedside and public health nurses.
Systematic follow-up of sick and in
jured and tent-to-tent public health in
spection are now taken for granted as
part of disaster relief procedure.
In rural relief the caravan" first
used at Lorain, Ohio, and later in I'LL
nois and Indiana following the tornado
of March IS, 1925, had proved an eff
Client means of clearing ground of de
bris, and of doing emergency fencing
and other work necessary to insure
the prompt planting of crops.
Special advisory service to all fam
lilies needing such help in recovering
from disaster loss, and still more
specialized service for widows and or
phans are recent developments that
have already proven their worth.
The present method of using local
advisory committees in the technique
of business rehabilitation is relativelyt
recent and goes hand in hand with
the policy of full frankness in public
relations. In the Missouri IllinoiseIn-
diana tornado relief newspaper men
accompanied the director on his init
ial trip through the devastated regions
of the three states and were welcomed
into every conference, every meeting
and indeed every conversation in
which he participated, with the full
privilege of reporting freely with full
and frank statement of all items of
Red Cross policy. Pamphlets restating
these policies and the promises of Red
Cross relief were widely circulated.
The result has been good.
1t is noteworthy fact that every
cent of money raised by special con
tributiOn for disaster relief, as in the
case of the Observation-Disclosures
tornado of March IS, when the entire
country opened its purse strings, is
used by the Red Cross for the relief
and rehabilitation of the sufferers. All
operating expenses, salaries of work
ers, ct cetra, are paid from the ma
tional treasury of the Red Cross.
The. strength of the American Red
Cross in disaster relief is due to two
easily recognized factors-its compe-
tent scientific professional approach
to the problem and its representative
character. This character is due to the
well-nigh universal membership of the
Red Cross. The surest guarantee the
American people can write for them
selves of adequate service following
disaster is for them to continue to an
swer the annual Roll Call with mil
lions of individual memberships, and
for these millions of members to keep
their local chapters vigorously active
The annual enrolment takes place be-
tween Armistice Day and Thanksgiv.

Eagle is going to have girls team
equal to any in the district. They
have four games to their credit so far.
Tomorrow night the fast Minocqua
teams will be here for game that
promises to be the hardest seen on
the local floor this season. The Is
land City boys are playing nice ball
this year. They have strong team
with experienced men and Eagle has
got to travel fast with no let up in
order to turn in a win over them. 1t
will be one of the best games fan
will have the opportunity of seeing
here this season. For that reason the
attendance should be big The crowds
at the games have not been very salts

SO far this year. 1t takes good sup,
port to keep the high school athletics
going. Eagle has a team that can take
care of itself in all the games schedul-

the help of the side lines to uphold.
To date they have never been defeat

the new high school, That is a re-
cord to be proud of and Minocqua is
determined to break it Friday even

SMALLER APPLE CROP

The per capita consumption of ap-
Piles in the United States is about
half an apple a day, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The total crop this year will reach
164, 100000 bushels compared with
179, 100000 bushels last year. The
decrease in total production, how
ever, is partially offset by the fact
that the crop is of unusually fine
quality, and less than the usual pro-
portion will go to waste or be used
for manufacturing purposes. The
portion known as the commercial
crop will reach 3O,134,O0O barrels
compared with 23,537,00O barrels
last year. Northwestern apples are
being shipped rapidly and are now
reaching the peak movement. Fed
eral inspection of apples at shipping
points is also greater than last year,
inspections in the northwest prom

any preceding season.

MRS. BIRDIE 1. HAsfBLETON

Mrs. Ida B. Hambleton (nee Hep
ner) was born January %, 1872,
and after few hours of suffering
from asthma and heart trouble. de-
parted this life at their home, near
Hudson's Cross Roads, October %,
1925, aged So years, months and
20 days.
She was baptized in infancy and
was confirmed member of st. Pauls
Lutheran Church, Jerome, March IS,
1912. in which connection and faith
she remained until death.
On May 80, 1889 she and Birdie
|. Hambleton were united in mar
riage, and to them were born three
daughters and five sons. One son
preceded her to the spirit world in
infancy. From that time the family
and the writer have been warm
friends, and the latter had the plea
sure of receiving the entire family
into the church. These facts prompt
ed the family to ask the writer to
conduct the last sad rites at the
burial of their loved one. This be-
gan with a brief service in the home
Saturday, at 1000 a. m. The re-
mains were then conveyed to the Re-
formed Church in Conicville by I'm
dertaker ]. c. Lonas and'th funeral
was preached in the presence OF a
large congregation, Notwithstanding
the rain and mud then prevailing.
The body was laid to rest in the adj
joining cemetery, beside the little
grave of her deceased child.
She leaves her bereaved husband,
three daughters, four sons, IA grand
her aged parents, John and
Matilda Hepner, and a large circle
of more distant relatives and friends
who are moved to sorrow and sym
pathy with the bereaved family. A
loving wife. affectionate mother, a
kind friend has been taken away, but
God knows what is best. May He
comfort the sorrowing hearts with
His precious promises and sustaining
grace.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

President Coolidge Tuesday pro-
claimed Thursday, November rs, as
Thanksgiving Day, when gratitude
should be expressed for many and
great blessings" which have come to
the people during the past year.
The nation has been brought with
safety and honor through another
IL months, the proclamation said,
with peace at home and abroad, with
the public health good, with harvest
and industry productive and labor
well rewarded.
The following is the Presidents
proclamation:
1.-The season is approaching when,
in accordance with long-establish-
ed and respected custom, day is set
apart to give thanks to Almighty God
for the manifold blessings which His
gracious and benevolent providence
has bestowed upon us as a nation and
as individuals.
1--WE have been brought with safe
ty and honor through another year,
through the generosity of nature. He
has blessed us with resources whose
Potentially and wealth are almost
4 incalculable; we are at peace at home
/ and abroad; the public health is
good; we have been undisturbed by
pestilence or great catastrophes; our
harvest and our industries have been
rich in productivity. our commerce
spreads over the whole world, and
labor has been well rewarded for its
remunerative service
''As we have grown and prospered
in material things, so also should
we progress in moral and spiritual
things We are a God-fearing peo-
pie who should set ourselves against
evil, and strive for righteousness in
living and observing the Golden
Rule. We should, from our abund-
ance, help and serve those less for
ltunately placed. We should bow in
gratitude to God for His many ia
Ivors.
Now, therefore, /, Calvin Cool
idge, President of the United States,
do hereby set apart Thursday, the
26th day of November next, as a
day of general Thanksgiving and
prayer, and l recommend that on
that day the people shall cease from
their daily work and in their homes
or in their accustomed places of wor-
ship devoutly give thanks to the AL
mighty for the many and great bless
ings they have received, and to seek
His guidance that they may deserve
continuance of His favor"

Woodstock, Va.
My dear Mr.. Shoemaker:
We are planning to begin work at
Woodstock Saturday morning, giving
course in American History and
one in Recent Tendencies in the
Teaching of Arithmetic These
courses will be given respectively by
DR.. Wayland and DIR. Converse.
hope very much that we can get a
few more students registered in
these courses. AS it is, the bus fare
and the cost of meals for these two
instructors will be more than the
total income from these two courses
| am notifying the students who
were present that these courses will
be given and other courses, if there
is sufficient demand for them. | re-
alize that last Saturday was & very
bad day, and really was pleased that
we had as many as fourteen students
present. / am writing to those stu
dents and will be glad if you will get
the word around in some way, if you
can. that these courses will be given
and other classes started if sufficient
attendance is present to justify
them.
With kindest regards, l am,
S. p. DUKE, President.
1t is hoped that other teachers who
were not here on Saturday will en-
roll in these courses, as they are
strong courses and count for both
renewal of certificates and for col
lege credits as we'll.

A TRIBUTE
BY CARTER woRMLEY


A spirit freed has taken flight I
through deaths far silence. A
soul untouched of fear has wing
ed its course through pain to
peace. Far from earth's petty.
brief and troubled dream, be-
You'd those spaces where the
great stars burn and time meets
with eternity, princely. soul
has won its way to God.
News of the death of Richard
Evelyn Byrd was received as a dis
tinct shock by his host of friends
throughout Virginia. 1t was an in
telligence which carried with it the
fact of a vital and momentous loss
to the whole people. 1t was a knell
which sounded the unexpected pass
ing of masterful soul.
OF virile and dynamic force,
equipped with an intellect at times
dazzling in it's brilliancy, cogent in
reasoning, dominant in debate, the
subject of these lines was endowed
prodigally with those elements which
characterize and which distinguish
the born leader.
During a life covering three
score and five years, many honors
had come to the father of our next
governor Offices, state and federal,
positions of distinction and of trust,
had been showered upon him. And
! in each instance the trust was met
with an energy and with an ability
which added dignity to Office and
which reflected credit upon govern
ment.
Mr. Byrd was descendant of that
landed aristocracy which composed
the first families of colonial Virginia
A gentleman by every right, both in
tradition and of blood, his distin-
guished abilities added lustre to a
life which stood forth a logical Gull
mination of long lines of patrician
ancestry.
The diversified talents of the great
Virginian, now dead, were divided
among the legal. legislative and lit
erary fields AS an orator he was
probably at his best in debate. and
as a DICTATOR he recognized no mas
ter.
1t is probably true that realization
of anything like physical fear was
altogether foreign to Mr. Byrd. And
while he was regarded as aggressive
in action, he fought only in the open
He possessed that admiration which
all men pay instinctively to courage
Equal with his courage was his utter
\ independence of thought.
But there was an attribute pos
4 sessed by the distinguished Virgin
ian more pleasing to memory than
the talents we have rehearsed. 1t
was that sense of loyalty to friend
ship which bound men to Mr.. Byrd
through life. For many years it
was the writer's privilege to enjoy
this fellowship. which l looked on
formerly as pleasant distinction and
which today l regard as an honor
