It Is our first opportun ity to mingle with the usual holl day atmosphere a responsiveness to the most merciful and eloquent ap- r.eal for definite sesvlce that has ever been made to human hearts. The larger part of the so-called clv llized world is in distress. There are painfut wounds to heal, torn bodies and souls that need ministry. There Is no better, surer, quicker avenue of relief than through the unde nominational agency of the Ameri can Red Croat whose noble officers hare undertaken to mobilize the heart and aoul and wealth of Ameri ca 'toward binding up the wounds of a bleeding world.' "No matter how much we may give for the tender care of our sol diers and sailors we who are obliged to play our parts at home must feel that any hardships and sacrifices nd tired by us are negligible In the light of the supreme labors perform ed by the stalwart sons of the land. The more we give the sooner this terrible war will end and the sooner an enduring peace will blazon Its course across the now dull horizon.

In his an nual report, made public today, Sec retary Baker has very little to say regarding the details of his depart ment's work because of the informs' tlon it might carry to the enemy. However he made it plain that he does not favor universal ' military training. ' Civilized men must hope ' that the future has la store a relief from the burden of armament and the destruction and waste of war. How ever vain that hope may appear In the midst of the most devastating and destructive war In the history or the race. It persists. "When a permanent military pot Icy, therefore, comes to be adopted, It will doubtless be conceived In a spirit which will be adequate to pre serve against any possible attack those vital principles of liberty up on which democratic institutions are based, and yet be so restrained as In no event to foster the growth of mere militarist ambitions." - SOCIAL A delicious 1. o'clock luncheon at Mrs. Gray's Sunday was the reward tendered Mrs. Sum Stlnebau'gh and Mrs. Roy Bush for winning byia small score In a series of 100 thril ling games of "500" played with Mrs. Harold Johnson and Miss Uah Slover. .These four enthusiasts have played one evening each week since i August, H being understood that the losers should provide the winners with a chicken dinner. Messrs. Sam Stinebaugh, Ttoy Bush, Earl Browne and Harold Johnson were Invited,' the eight diners being furnished with appropriate and amusing fav ors and place cards. After the ap petizing luncheon there was visiting and good byes to Mr. Browne who had enlisted and left that evening for Portland. There were hundreds of boys and girls at the Southern Pacific station Saturday afternoon to greet Santa Clans, who was advertised to arrive here on the afternoon train, and al though the train was 45 minutes late the youngsters waited patiently for his appearance. When he stepped off the train the old fellow was Im mediately surrounded und nearly carried off his feet. He finally led the crowd to the New Racket store, which he designated aa hla head quarters, and there gave out his en tire supply of "snappers," which de lighted the kids. . It was a clever advertising stunt by Clyde Morrow, of the New Racket store. - Xmas Gifffc c 3 When the problem tif something tt give "I Iim" for Christmas confronts ymt, ns it always 1mh nt thin season of the your, turn to this store for relief.
