FIRST RED CROSS CHRISTMAS.
Something has happened. 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-

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.

My Very Hear Satan: Your letter

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.
