:i§ fe it TOWHf !. 5 '?jf i, PAGE FOUR JUNIOR RED CROSS ITEMS Supplies for Needy Belgians Are Com ing In Fast From Different Lo calities of the County SIX WEEKS HEALTH CRUSADE February the Month for Beginning on a Six Weeks' Health Crusade— Leaflets to All Teachers [P. L. Hoffman, County Chairman.) The supplies for the needy Belgian.* are coming just fine in most of the several localities. This is tine, if there are any towns or communities that have not yet gotten busy we asl that they do so right away and gath er what they can. It will all be tan en care and will all be very raucii appreciated. While our drive was to be in January—shipments will be lai er on—bring on all you can spare. The Boyer folks have shipped ove 400 pounds, and have a lot more gath ered to ship, and they are still at work. Good for Boyer and the good folks living in that community. Denison has shipped lately a few hundred pounds and have a nice lot on hand. This has come in from the country and about town in excellent condition. A great deal of the good' are good enough for any one to wear. We should be pleased to report the shipments from other places in the county. Let us hear from the officers. February was set by our National Junior officers as the beginning of a six weeks health crusade. Introduc tory leaflets will be sent to all teach ers right soon now. The whole health crusade program is indeed very inter esting and extensive. But we are at a loss to know Just what to do in re gard to taking up this extra work. In view of the fact that the flu has so delayed the regular school work it is a question whether it is advisable to divert our energies to a special health conrpaign even though it is sorely needed and would no doubt do a won derful good. i' We shall send out the preliminary instructions for general use now and then send out what specific instruc tions and plans are made later. We are sure that all teachers and school authorities will co-operate heartily in view of the fact that so much good can be done. Questions continue to come in ask ing what to do with the hundreds of dollars of Junior Red Cross money lying idle in the treasury in the coun ty. We are suggesting that this be put to some good use. The West Side auxiliary is consid ering the adoption of refugee children. This can be done by sending the mon ey to the Children's Bureau, Dept. of Civil Affairs, American Red Cross. Where all did not contribute in a school and the financial plan not car ried out fully the money has been re turned to the pupils giving and they have bought War Savings stamps. We hope all the money will be put to some good use right soon. i5" SOCIAL NOTES Miss Marcella McCarthy entertained fifteen young ladies on Saturday, Jan uary 26th, at a three course supper, the occasion being the hostess's birth May.

HUNGER MOTIVE OF CHAPLIN'S COMEDY Hunger, the most primitive of all ", emotions, according to psychologists, is the motive that supplies punch to many of the important scenes in Charlie Chaplin's new $1,000,000 com ^edy, "A Dog's Life," which will be shown at the opera house Friday, Jan uary 31st. At the opening of the story, Charlie is awakened from his outdoor sleeping quarters in a fence corner by the tantalizing odor of steaming viands offered for sale by a passing hot-dog vendor. This leads to a number of spirited adventures with the police, who resent Charlie's Ambition to eat without paying the -'1 ustial fee. Later on, Charlie's faith ful dog, famishing lor something to test his teeth upon, digs up a well lined pocketbook that some crooks bsive buried in the ground. And when Charlie attempts to spend the money -that has thus been provided in a near by cafe, he meets the big moment o'l hit career, for it brings him into con tact with a beauteous cabaret singer, who is 'herself starved for love and kindness.

It is curious that the name London Is more generally known, the world over than the name England is. In commercial circles "London" stands for most articles of English manufac ture. In all the East it represents a na tion. The author of "Under the Red Crescent," who was a surgeon of the Turkish army In 1S77, found that in the near East, no farther away than Bulgaria, "London" served to identify liiin. It did even more than that in a conversational way, as he tells us In his book. My first landlord—who was land lord in name only, for of course I never paid him any rent—was a Bul garian, he says, and his daughter was one of the few pretty women that I ever saw in Bulgaria. Conversation with her, however, was restricted by our ignorance of each other's lan guage, for I knew scarcely any Bul garian, and the only word of English that she could say was "London." Whenever I saw that girl she would show her white teeth with a charming smile, flash her big, black eyes, and with beautiful irrelevance ejaculate: "London!" Whether she knew what London meant I cannot say, but her limited vocabulary expressed more in its way than the gushing phrases of many more brilliant talkers. When she said "London" with a bright air of welcome and a frank smile as I came home" at night tired out with my day's work, I knew Mint she meant "Good evening, doctor! I hope you haven't had a very hard day today and see, here is your toast and coffee ready." When she uttered the word with a backward turn of the head and with a pretty glance as she passed out of the door, it was very evident that she was really saying: "Good night now, doctor! Pleasant dreams to you, and I hope a Russian shell won't find you In the morning."—Youth's Compan ion.

TO FILL HOLES IN PLASTER Ordinary Wire Screen Declared to Be the Best Backing That Can Be Employed. The electrician is frequently re quired, In the installation of wires in finished buildings, to cut holes here and there through the plastered walls or ceilings. Before these holes can be replastered some sort of backing must be put in which will take the place of the lath. The majority of men make use of old rags or paper for this pur pose. The writer, in replastering holes, uses a backing of ordinary wire screen. The wire should be cut about one-quar ter inch larger than the hole to Be filled, and when pressed into it will be found to make a good, stiff backing, as the edges hold It firmly in place. Far less plaster will be necessary with this backing than with the others, which will cover the cost of the wire screen, and a more Workmanlike and durable job Is obtained.—W. F.

A delicious dinner was served at the noon hour, which was also greatly enjoyed. Henry L. Mueller, who' operates a general store at Ricketts, is using space in this issue of the Review. Mr. Mueller is a firm believer in newspa per advertising and being familiar with the Review's large circulation in his trade territory is using this news paper to announce some exceptional bargains. His advertisement will be noticed on page 5 of the first section. The Review failed to mention in its last issue the union jubilee service held at the Presbyterian church on Sunday evening, January 19th, to cele brate the ratification of the prohibi tion amendment. The meeting was largely attended and short talks were delivered by Rev. J. L. Boyd, Rev. C. E. Hamilton, Rev. Robt. Karr Jacob Sims, Leon Cassaday, Mrs. M. A. Pen ney and Frank L. Hoffman. Another number of the lecture course will be given at the opera house on Thursday evening of this week, when Wm. Rainey Bennet, the famous lecturer, will appear.

The happy young couple left for the groom's home in Charter Oak, where they will remain for the winter. The district court is in session this week with Judge Albert presiding. The court convened Monday afternoon,_ at which time the grand jury was im panneled with John Hagge as fore man.

The jury was called the first of this term, contrary to the usual custom, and from now on it is expected the jury work will take up most of the time of the court. The first case for trial is that of Voss, Guardian vs James Finner an and Harry Finneran. This is an action to recover damages on account of the sale of cattle, brought by the plaintiff's ward. The case.will prob ably consume the attention of the court today, and will be followed by a number of other jury cases. The usual number of probate cases will be up for consideration, bjit are not of suffi cient interest to warrant publication.

To get these goods from all over the earth it would formerly have been necessary to visit the nearest large city. You would have to take a part or the whole of a day and visit some great emporium.

The cost of the thing to you Is not merely what you pay for the article. It is your car fare, the din ner in the city and most all, the time. The home store lays down the ar ticle from Egypt or Australia or In dia on the counter at the price the same thing will cost in the great city.
