When President Coolidge by procla mation designated the American Red Cross as the medium through which contributions for relief of the Japan ese earthquake stifferers should flow. the President's desire came as an or- dar to the Red Cross. Immediately the entire machinery of the organlza- tion was put in motion and within 24 hours the fund campaign was moving with vigor In every part of the coun try. . This emergency test demonstrated the peacetime readiness of the Red Cross to cope with stupendous tasks Witbin a in behalf of humanity. month it had collected upwards of *10,250,000 in contributions, landed ten cargoes of supplies at Japanese ports and was keeping pace with re lief requirements—all without a sin gle dollar of the fund being spent for administration. -President Coolidge, in expressing his thanks to the people, said: “When the news of the tragedy in Japan first reached us. the American Red Cross, pursuant to a proclamation, asked the country for *5,000.000 to meet the great emergency. The answer to this appeal was prompt and generous; in less than two weeks a sum far in ex- teas of the original goal was given.” . The work of the Red Cross tor -Japan Is expected to Influence a very large enrollment of new recruits dur- 4ng the Roll Call, which starts Armis tice Day. Red Cross First Aid Standards Adopted : In Great Industries ’ First aid In an emergency which assures the injured competent atten tion until the doctor arrives is making marked headway through the work of the Chapters of the American Red ’Cross. In populous centers 314 chap ters conduct first aid classes and last year awarded 9.500 certificates to stu dents. Eight big telephone companies hava enlisted their workers In first aid classes, police and fire departments in large cities are making the course compulsory In their training schools, ail'd through colleges and high schools large groups of students receive In struction. The Red Cross also gives this course through Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts, Y. M. C. A. and similar organi zations, and its standard methods have been adopted by railroads, elec tric and gas companies, mines and in the metal industries. The alm of this Red Cross service is to cut down radi cally the average of 60,000 accidental deaths per year in the United States. “Our ccgmtry could secure no higher commendation, no greater place In his tory, than to have it correctly said that the Red Cross Is truly American.” —President Coolidge.

Chemical Formula Puts Pep in German Workers Junior Red Cross Spreads Good Will Throughout World Nearly 5.600.000 pupils in the schools of America are following the standard of unselfish service as members of the American Junior Red Cross, the an nual report of the American Red Cross discloses. This valiant hoat Is rep resented In 125,073 school rooms of 21,239 schools throughout the United States. With a service program that is local, national and International in scope, the American Junior Red Cross is working unfalteringly for health and happiness and In the promotion of activities among boys and girls wherever there is opportunity tor use fulness. Increased activity on the part of the schools enrolled and deeper recog nition by school authorities of the ed ucational values of Junior Red Cross have been significant features of the last year. Carrying on educational and relief work in France, Poland, Austria, Hungary, Jugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria and Rumania, the American Juniors have influenced the forming of Junior departments In the Red Cross organizations of these coun tries. American boys and girls wear ing the “I Serve” button of the Jun iors are proving apt messengers of the spirit of good will and mutual un derstanding through correspondence with pupils in schools scattered throughout the world. At the close of the school year in June 2,009 schools were engaged in correspond ence with a like number of schools in Europe; 284 schools in our insular possessions and Alaska territory car ried on an exchange of letters with schools In the United States and South Africa. In fact, nearly 2.700 schools with probably 100,000 pupils were busy In this fine act of cheerful communi cation, while 8,347 articles passed through National Headquarters of the Red Cross in exchanges between the interested pupils here and overseas. An incident of the year's advance was the beginning of activity which will eventually install Junior Red Cross in the Indian schools of the United States. From every section of the country reports of the tour of the unit of crip pled children with their chorus which came from the Bakule school In Prague, Czechoslovakia, to show grati tude to the American Juniors for their assistance declare that nothing since the World War has done so much to awaken the Red Cross spirit in the communities visited by the unit The work of the American Juniors in foreign fields is emphasized in the advancement of playgrounds, scholar ships in farm, trade and other schools, community and school garden work, and donations of cash and equipment to children's organizations. Tn these projects >112,MO.17 was spent during the last year in ten European coun- tries, in China and in the Virgin Is- lands.

Before the place was abandoned tor the winter, • fern bed was laid out and a large quantity of ferns from Lake creek were taken up and plant ed. A fern which is rather rare in the region was found and was plant ed above the Caves entrance and in time will add much to the natural beauty of the place, it is expected. The management states that only the wild flowers and plants will be used to beautify the grounds as it is felt that any tame flowers would ruin the effect. Ferns have l*een placed in the cracks and crevices of the walls. $10.00 Saved— By purchasing your new suit or overcoat at Peerless Clothing Go. 22tf Mining Hearing Mon<lay— ■ Th« miners of the county will have an opportunity on Monday of presenting their knowledge of the slump in gold and silver mining to Fletcher Hamilton, sent here by the federal government to conduct one of the two hearings being held in Ore gon.
