A sim ple and thrilling thing that brings something of real greatness to our lives, humble as they may be. It is the observance of our first Red Cross Christmas. One cannot have even the thought of its appro priateness and Its significance in this world of anguish without having touched the highest thoughts of all the world that which was given on the birthday we are celebrating "Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy whiich shall be to all peo ple"; and that which was expressed In the Red Cross treaty made by na tions, which established that in war fare the sick and wounded of the enemy should be sacred to the Red Cross. This is a Christmas when we can not see our new young soldiers, strong and straight of back, without visioning those others whom war has made helpless. We cannot see the happiness of our children without thinking of those little ones in Eur ope who have starved to death. Per- verdale and Bend, regarding the out coma of the vote at Slstors mid Clo vordalo. The matter was never dis cussed here and even Bond has not been charged with using any undue influence Redmond was simply will ing to admit these two districts, pro viding they wanted to come In. "It seems now understood that Sis tors and Cloverdulo voted to slay out with the mistakeu Idea that they could remain out of any and all high school districts, but this Is true only when the wholo majority of the pro posed district votes to stay out and this is not probablo when Bend launches her county high school or ganization. At that time Sisters and Cloverdulo will In all probability be come a part of the county high school district, although they may register a solid vote against It. "But this is their own business. Redmond never asked them to come here and Is more or less Indifferent in the matter. Redmond simply wants to do the right thing with all con cerned at all times." We are glad to bo sot right con cerning the feeling of tho Redmond people In the matter of the school dis trict vote. l were informed on good authority that a feeling of re sentment existed. If it does not, so much the better. Wilhelm Accepts Throne of Hell From Satan's Hands FOR THE XEW STATE. Several days ago we reported "Bill" llanU'y as suggesting that Ore gon east or the Cascades be formed into a separate state, the state of Liu coin. The Madras Pioneer quotes the article and approves the idea, saying: "Elsewhere in this issue appears an interview given by 'Bill' Hanley, the accredited 'Sage of Harney County," in which he suggests a state be made of all that part of Oregon lying east of the Cascades, and that the new state be named Lincoln. The sug gestion is worthy of thought inas much as it is very probable that some day the thought will be a reality, and much sooner than many are prone to believe. There are many valid rea sons why the state should be divided. The climatic conditions are so differ ent that many highway problems ap- baps we cannot deck our children's i pik-able to the west are not applicable Christmas trees without remembering that He in whose honor they are, was "man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." In the Red Cross campaign for 10, 000,000 new members during the week preceding Christmas there is scope for all our tenderness, all our richest imaginings, all our new-born power of simplicity of heart, all our possibilities of service. The Red Cross chapters have asked all members of the American Red Cross to take part dn a simple cere mony on Christmas eve the placing of a lighted candle in the window shining through a Red Cross service flow on the window pane. This flag is a piece of white transparent paper, blue-bordered, with the sign of the Red Cross, five inches square In the center, and smaller crosses to be add ed for each of the household who is a member of the Red Cross. It is an expression of service in tbis unexam pled time a symbol so instinctive that the Red Cross will glow from the windows of our homes over the length and breadth of the land, send ing out the Christmas message to the world, and telling not only the pass erby, but our own hearts, that Just as our boys and men are finding new strength In their new sacrifices, so may be through our new service. to the east portions, and it Is admit ted that the road question is the greatest problem of the state, as a whole, will be called upon to meet. Horr von Lucifer 11. Satan, Infernal Regions. My Very Hear Satan: Your letter of June 28, 1917, Is before us where in you so graciously nhdlcate your throne In our favor which wo have accepted with full knowledge of 1(8 Importance, and will assure you be yond doubt that the Infernal regions will liwo nothing In frlghlfulnoss by tho change of administration. We fully appreciuto your dlploinucy and good sense In abdicating before the crash, for the day has arrived when German power and Influence will en circle tho earth; for only by German efficiency can the universe progress; for such Is the German idea that all things must succumb to its force. Your letter of abdication will go down In history as a stato paper of more than ordinary torco tor which you have our Imperial appreciation. You showed very good judgment when you said "the pupil had become tho waster"; as we aro pupil, we thank you for reminding us of the truthful old proverb, "If tho pupil does not become greater than the master the world must come to u standstill." In consideration of your faithful services in the past I appoint you for the present chancellor of our kingdom of hell and you will tukc your orders from us direct. ATTENTION! ! ! You will at one establish a secret wireless con' in u nl cation between hades and tho cek'S tial regions. I have reason to bclicvi that English influence is 'lmiij brought to bear in that locality. In asmuch as it Is to his own Interest uott is still nut uns. Hut tiiero is a lack of efficiency and thoroughness contrary to the German Idea; quick and certain counter action must tukc place at once.

For this hatred Is our very lire, the mainspring or our am bition and the world shall quake, and blood shall flow until all things Eng lish shall have perished. Likewise do I hate the English cousins across the sea. The art of treason so highly devel oped In tho Fatherland la well under way in America.
