Mrs. William Craig, Of Odessa, is
the owner of a baby chick which is at
tracing considerable attention. The
chicken has large head, a crossed
bill and three eyes. The chicken gives
every indication Of living for some
time, and is being carefully watched
by the owner. 1t is the most peculiar
freak ever seen in this section.
Members and friends of Reliance
Methodist Protestant Church, in the
western section Of Sussex County,
have struck upon the novel plan Of
furnishing their pastor, the Rev. d.
F. Galloway, an additional source of
revenue by supplying him with a
number of hens and one hundred eggs
for Matching purposes. If the min
lister is able to get three-fourths of
hatch, and is successful in rearing the
chicks to maturity, he should be in
position to furnish his table this fall
and winter with a good supply of
fresh eggs and at the same time have
many to place on the market, from
which to derive enough money to buy
all of the culinary articles.

TIME TO JOIN
Red Cross Membership Drive Continues Until Next Week
 Wednesday

The Red Cross membership drive will in all probability come to an end next Wednesday. the day before Thanksgiving. Ladies interested in the annual roll call have made a house to house canvass. There has been a generous response but there have been many who can well afford a dollar who have turned the solicitors away empty handed
 The organization that has become invaluable in relieving suffering and distress throughout the world gets it's greatest publicity in time of calamity when f is first in the field doing re- lief work The work being done quietly. as in the Red Cross District Nursing Service right here in Put nam. is as important to this small community as are these larger relief measures that occur from time to time
 Much of the work of the local Red Cross nursing service is concerned with saving the lives of babies and developing more healthy children. There is nothing more worthy than such a work and it is rather difficult to understnd how a person can make excuses to his conscience in refusing the dollar that makes one a member. Half of the money from the member ship drive remains with the local chapter to carry on it's important work in Putnam. The other half goes to the National organization. Those who have refused to join and now think better of it may send in their dollar,

Prepare For Jazz"

Perhaps Germany may convert mu- sic into a weapon of destruction more deadly than all the gases invented during the War It is conceivable that jazz may play a part in the next world struggle more formidable than bombs or submarines. If five negroes can pro- duce more noise than an orchestra of two hundred performers, t follows that thousand negroes armed with megaphones. saxophenes and some new instrument of torture could de motalize any army and undermine the courage of any nation The Allies should control Germany's development in iass just as carefully as they control her other armameuts.

MUSIC VS. NOISE
By HENRY RUSSELL

Down with the frontiersi Down with the frontiersl" cries the modern advocate of jazz. He has no alterua- tive: for to attempt to draw a line be. tween music and noise Is nowadays to definite the indefinable.
 IL is perfectly true that. when Wag ner's genius was first revealed to ths world. people said 'tnis Is not music this Is simply noise This Is not melo- dy, 1t is only chaos. etc. etc Indeed when 1 was seventeen l heard the over ture of the "Meistersinger" played for the first time and was unable te ap- preciaie many of it's beautiee But soon learned Go love it. and now, when enc compares t Co the music of Desuzsy RaVel. and prokafiefT. it sound gs imple as a ballad 1 am glad l was slow to appreciate the 'Meister inger" il makes one more careful about forming opinions on any work of art When We are told that the noise produced by steam engines, motor cars. aeroplaues. and all mod erH machinery may. and does. act as inspiration for musical masterpieces, We must keep an open mind but one cannot help wondering what sort of in struments will be needed for the inter pretation of the compositions of the future

Tribe Third Baseman Gets
Chance With n ationaI
League Leaders.
HERE THREE SEASONS
Peppery Infielder Was
Marked for Major Draft.

Elmer Voter, chunky third base
man of the indianapolis Indians,
was sold today to the Chicago Cubs
in a deal that brings Fred Haney
third sacker, and a sum Of cash
to the Txibesmen.
Voter will join the National
League leaders just as soon as
Haney reports to Manager Betzeps
teams probably Thursday.
Voter has been with the Indians
three seasons and has been the reg
ular third sacker the last two years.
He was. used in the utility role in
1925.
Lives Near Pittsburgh
Elmer is rated a good fielder, is
Fast and owns a strong throwing
arm. His home is near Pittsburgh, at
MceKe's Rocks.
Voters, batting average is about
.317.
Fred Haney is formerly OF the
Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox
He was claimed on waivers by the
Cubs few weeks ago, when the Rec
Sox decided to let him go.
Haney has not played in many
games this season, but as a regular
with the Red Sox in 1926 he battec
.221. His age is %.
Voter, draft eligible, was slateo
to be plucked off by big league
club in the fall and the Tribe bosses
decided to accept the Chicago Offer
of an immediate transaction ir
order to make better deal fer In
dianapolis than the impending
draft.
Second Major Chance
. The peppery "fire plug" Elmer
was elated today over his gradua-
ton to the National League pace
makers. 1t is his second chance ir
the majors, the other being with
Cleveland, before he joined Indian
apolis.
He is an earnest pastimer anc
loves the game SO we'll he seldom is
out of the lineup. In fact, in 1926
he did not miss even one day.
Joe Mccarthy, Cub boss, formerly
managed Louisville and is familiar
with Voters ability.
Elmer was obtained on option by
Indianapolis from Cleveland in 1925
and later figured in the Johnny
Hcdapp deal with that club. He is
the third player obtained in the
Hodapp deal to be sold to the
majors by the Indians, Riggs Ste-
phenson and Byron Specie being
the others. Specie did not make
good, however.

rayed against us on the polo field
and this weekend will see Great
Britain's best against our best upon
the famous turf tennis courts at the
Forest Hills stadium.
Whatever the results, Of one thing
the public can be sure, they will be
matches bitterly contested in a
spirit of patriotism.
Situation Is Same
The situation is the same on both
sides. There seems to be an over
abundance of talent. England
brought over six players when only
four were necessary. Doubtless, the
idea was to give the young colts"
turn on the turf of a foreign land.
The singles positions are more or
less settled, but doubles combina-
tons are more intricate. Both sides
seem to be in quandary.
Picks United States Team
If I could move our players like
pawns upon a chess board, disre-
garding likes and dislikeS, which
after all should be laid aside in the
face of international competition,
would select for our team:
Helen Wills, No. 1.
Mrs. Mallory, No. 2.
Helen Jacobs, No. 3.
Helen Wills and Helen Jacobs
No. 1, doubles.
England doubtless will play Mrs
Godfree No. 1, Miss Joan Fry No.
Betty Nuthall No. 3. The double
combinations could be Mrs. Godfre,
and Betty Nuthall, No. Miss Har
vey and Mrs. Hill No. 2.
The team match promises to b.
exciting, and although on pape
America has the edge because Heller
Wills is in such fine form and tn,
Americans are at home, one neve

Premier Poincare Likes
 Scotch National Dish

Paris, Dec. 1 LP,-Premier Poin- care ate "haggis au champit pat ties and liked this arrangement of the Scotch national dish, or at least he appeared to, at the St, Andrews day banquet of the Caledonian So- ciety of France.
 Although the French premier has been lord rector Of Glasgow univer- sity, his knowledge of Scotch cus- toms did not embrace the solemn ritual with which the celebrated pudding is carried in procession around the hall. At the French ob- servance it was escorted by 22 pug zled French walters bearing bottles of whiskey and preceded by a gi- gantic piper in Highland costume. Poincare was amused. He said that he hoped before long that the Scottish college, which flourished in Paris in the seventeenth century, would have a successor in the shape of Scottish section at the univer- stv city where such delightful old traditions could be renewed and kept alive.
