Red Cross Seal Campaign On.

Under the direction of the local committee, the Red Cross Xmas seals tins weUkr A committee from the Home Economics club will co-operate .with the Ladies’ Literary committee, and it is hoped to make Jasper county a banner county this year. Red Cross seals were first put on sale in 1907 in the single state of Delaware. The movement has since spread over the entire country. As a result, hundreds of associations have been formed which are fighting tuberculosis in practically all the states. The facts about tuberculosis have been published widely. Hospitals, dispensaries, open-air have been established; The educational influence of the Xmas seals campaign has been as much responsible for this as the money derived. Every effort on the part of the thousands of volunteer workers to call attention to the seals, even where no actual sale has been made, every display of seals, newspaper notices, sermon in church, health talk in schQol, has counted in educating the community to guard against tuberculosis. The local committees are as follows; Ladies Literary Club, Mrs. M. D. Gwin, Mrs. F. H. Hemphill, Mrs. G. A. Williams, Mrs. E. J. Randle, Mrs. J. J. Hunt. Home Economics, Mrs. M. E. Drake, Mrs. Oscar Hauter, Mrs. Joe Pullins.

GUARD HEADS FEAR DISINTEGRATION

Fears Entertained That National Guard Units Will Have Hard Time ""In The Future. That disintegration will came through its inability to recruit its strength to the government requirements and through indifference or antipathv on the part of the public «s "the sum of assertions made by friends of the national guard, threatening the future of the organization of this state and every other state. The new “federal oath and contract,” binding national guardsmen to remain three years in reserve after their present terms of enlistments have expired, must ber subscribed to by all the sitate units November 30th. Grave misgivings have.been voiced as to the proportion of enlisted men who would sign the new contract —but, worse than this, is another situation: Recruiting both for the filling the places of those whose terms have expired and swelling the companies to re-! quired strength is at a standstill. Through the gloom faced by those : who have the interests of the coun-; try’s first reserve be in the regular army at heart there is one shaft of j hope. From Washington comes the tidings that President Wilson realizes the failure of plans based on volunteer system and that Secretary of War Baker has called on the army college to report the comparative advantages of universal and volunteer training. The average strength of companies at the time they went to the border was around 75 to 80. Expiration of enlistments not reserved is expected to deplete their strength at least 25 per cent, is declared by men who are in a position to know. The difficulty of obtaining recruits to bring the organizations up to the necessary strength is more pronounced since the return of some of the troops from the border, officers and men agree. Stories of hardships, sans glory gave deterred young men from enlisting who otherwise might have been attracted by the social and athletic advantages of the national guard. “Nine-tenths of our company will not re-enlist.” The Texas experience means that our company is going to pieces. I do not mind doing my bit, but why bind myself to three years more on the reserve when thousands of fellows better qualified are allowed to go scot free from such responsibility ? This was a sample expression gleaned from enlisted men from all organizations oT different states. The spirit was not that of rebellion it was unwillingness to contract for long terms of service and reserve m order that the majority of their fellows in civilian life might escape all patriotic duty. •» There is but one answer to the above perplexing problem that the military heads will some day be called upon to fact, and that is compulsory military training for all, and we believe that day <fts not very far distant.

FOUGHT FIRE SUNDAY MORNING

Blaze Threatened Destruction of .McKay Laundry Building—Able Work bv Firemen.

Fire threatened the total destruction of the building occupied by O. H. McKay’s laundry and Mrs. Eva L. McCurtain and family, at about twd a. m. Sunday morning. Only the prompt and efficient work of the fire company halted the blaze before it had time to gain much control. The building is owned by Dr. H. L. Brown. The fire started m the upstairs flat occupied by Mrs. Eva L. McCurtain and her ’tfevfcn children. Mrs. McCurtain was aroused at about 2 o’clock by the blaze, and dashed to the rear of the flat, where the fire started, and to get some money whfch she had in the cupboard. The blaze had gained considerable headway and the fire company was called immediately. The hose was not used and the fire company, after a hard fight, was able to put the fire out with the aid of their chefnical extinguishers. This method was used, in order that the McKay laundry room below would n<ft suffer from water. The furniture in the bathroom and a small living room was almost all destroyed as was the clothing helong-r ing to the children. The interior of three of The rooms "suffered" from the fire and smoke and the damage will amount to quite a little. Mrs. McCurtain is the mother of seven children, five of whom are quite small, and the misfortune with which she has met will work considerable hardship upon her. Two new pairs of shoes Drfdttging to the little ones were burnt up, as was most of their other clothing, and frs. McCurtain had considerable of a task this Monday morning in outfitting them :n order that they might attend school. She has had more than her share of misfortune and this case should attract the attention of the charity board, and would be very thankful for any' aid that might be extended to her and no family is more worthy of aid than this one. In fighting the fire before the company arrived, Mrs. Mccurtain was burned about the head and face, and her hair also caught on fire. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is the belief of Fire Chief Montgomery that it started from the starched clothing hanging in the bathr room, which had been ironed only a short time beforehand that gas was formed which broke into a flame.

MADE VISIT TO WATSEKA HOSPITAL

Members of Hospital Board and Dr. Washburn Inspect the Watseka, 111., Hospital Sunday.'

.Dr. I. M. Washburn and the following members of the • Jasper county hospital board, Jesse D. Allman, Edward 'P. Honan and L. H. Hamilton, visited the hospital at Watseka, 111., Sunday. The trip was made in the doctor’s automobile. It was not only a very pleasant trip but will undoubtedly be very helpful to the board in making arrangements for the equipping and managing the hospital hers. , The hospital at Watseka was built in 1914. The money for the same was given by Mrs. Anna Donovan in honor of her deceased husband, John Donovan. The amount of her donation was the magnificent sum of sixtyfive thousand dollars. The building and the equipment of this institution are the very best obtainable. They are modem and high class in every particular. They are on a par with any institution of the kind anywhere. ' The hospital is supported by the people of the city of Watseka and the <?ounty of Iroquois. It stands as a testimony in honor of this citizenship. The superintendent, Miss Van Wrinkle, and the assistant superintendent; Mips Johnson, afe undoubtedly efficient, as shown by the splendid condition of the hospital at the time of the visit. These ladies were very considerate and were pleased to show the visitors the building and give them definite information in reference to the management of the hospital. The hospital contains twenty-five beds. Most of them are in large private rooms. The equipment of these rooms has been furnished by the different churches, lodges, societies and individuals of the city of Watseka. The cost of furnishing eacn room is about one hundred and fifty dollars.

There is no institution in Watseka, or in any other town, that reflects the real spirit of genuine interest in humanity more than its hospital, well equipped and carefully managed. Too much cannot be said in praise of Mrs. Donovan and the citizens of Watseka and IroqQois county. May the spirit of this good woman and these splendid citizens be disseminated throughout the length and breadth of this great land of ours, and just now intensified in the city of Rensselaer and the county of Jasper. In a few weeks the Jasper county hospitel will be completed. It will not be as large as the building at Watseka, but it will be a buiding of which every taxpayer in the county will have reason to feel proud. The board invites the churches, lodges, societies and individuals .of Rensselaer and Jasper county to provide funds for the equipment of the private room in the hospital here. There will be fifteen beds in the hospital here. Six of these will be wards. A suitable plate will be placed upon each-door giving the name of the donor of the furnishings therein. At Watseka the rooms were furnished uniformly. The board here has decided to follow this idea. They will purchase the equipment and the donor will be properly credited as indicated above. All persons interested are urged to take this matter up directly with the board or through the church, 46dge or society of which they may be a member. The president of the board is Jesse D. Allman, and the secretary- is E.lwarc! P. Honan.
