Mr. Editor, Placase allow space to say that we had another high day Sunday the 24, at 11:00 Elder C. W. Scates, ascended the rostrum and took for a text Acts 10:47. Can any man forbid water that these should not be baptized which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we. He discussed the principles of the doctrine of baptism for 45 minutes, leaving not a stone unturned. After which we marched to the little stream where Elder C. W. Scates, officiated, five being baptized, and the Holy Spirit was there for a witness. Every one present enjoyed the services. At 8:00 p. m. Elder Scates took for a text 2nd Tim. 3rd chapter and he preached a short pointed sermon afterwhich the Lord's Supper was administered by Elder Scates, assisted by Elder H.

Resolved, that the church of Metropolis of which he was a member, the district he has worked in from childhood, have lost one their most faithful and patient members. I regret I cannot be present as a mark of respect to his memory but it impracticable for me to do so. Centralia, Ill., Oct. 31st 1920 Rev and Mrs. J. B. McCrary, you have our deepest sympathy in this your hour of sorrow. I sent part of the flowers but did not put my name on a card as John and the other officers were sending special cards.

There is only one way to cure cartarrhaj deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed 'you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

Illinois Central's 1920 Bill For New Equipment Totals $27,109,768 The railroads of the United States have not been able to move promptly all the traffic offered, and business has suffered. This condition has been caused, very largely, by a lack of locomotives and cars. The railroads are not to blame. For a decade preceding the war an anti-railroad spirit prevented the levying of rates which would guarantee an investment return sufficient to attract capital for financing the purchasing of adequate equipment; and during Federal control equipment purchased fell far short of the average of the preceding years. Now that the railroads have been returned to the control of their owners and more adequate rates have been awarded, the purchase of equipment has increased greatly. The Illinois Central has placed orders to date for locomotives and cars which will cost $27; 109,708. The purchases include: 150 Locomotives 20 Suburban Coaches 2150 Coal Cars 21 Cowpartment Coaches 1000 Refrigerator Cars 18 Baggage Cars 500 Stock Cars 5 Dining Cars 300 Box Cars 50 Caboose Cars 200 Flat Cars A part of this equipment has been received. Further deliveries are under way, and will be kept up for a period of twelve months. The 150 locomotives cost $11,800,675. One hundred are for freight service and are 40 per cent larger in tractive power than any now in general use on our lines. Twenty-five are for passenger service and twenty-five are for switch service. Their delivery will begin this month and will be completed early next year. The 4,150 freight cars cost $13,473,600. We have received 1,500 coal cars. The delivery of the remainder has begun and will extend over a period of twelve months. The fifty-five cars for passenger train service cost $1,676,493. They will be delivered during the first three months of next year. The fifty caboose cars cost $150,00. Nineteen have been delivered—the balance will be ready January 1st. In addition to this amount expended for new equipment, the Illinois Central System has appropriated $8,000,000 since the return of its property for enlargement of railway facilities. Much of this work is under way. while the growth of the Illinois Central System may not have kept pace with the growth of the business in the territory served by it, that it has not stood still is evidenced by the fact that during the past ten years it has expended $169,279,178 for additions and betterments to its property.

ADO" PENCIL N METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. JUNIOR RED CROSS WORKING AT HOME JUNIOR RED CROSS WORKING AT HOME Production of Sound American Citizenship the First Aim, On the badge of every member of the Junior Red Cross are the words "I Serve." That tells the story of the school children's branch of the American Red Cross and its efforts to bring happiness to children throughout the world Realizing that the time never was so propitious as right now for teaching the highest ideals of citizenship, the entire present program of the Junior Red Cross has been framed under the very inclusive phrase, "Training for Citizenship Through Service" for others. Since the Junior Red Cross is the agency through which the American Red Cross reaches the schoolboys and the schoolgirls, all its activities are designed to come within the regular school program, and without creating new courses or increasing the number of studies to lend its aid in vitalizing the work of the schools. "The thing that is needed," says Dr. Livingston Farrand, Chairman of the American Red Cross Central Committee, "is not a perpetuation of the Junior Red Cross, but the training and breeding of sound American citizenship inspired by the true, fundamental ideals of sound democracy. One of the great conceptions in making the Red Cross a contributor to better citizenship in our American democracy is the realization that after all the sole hope of any nation is with the children of the country." The plan of organization of the Junior Red Cross makes the school-public, parochial and private—the unit, not the individual pupils. Mutual service, helpful community work such as clean-up campaigns, care of the sick, promotion of health regulations, participation in civic and patrolic movements—all these creative agencies designed to translate into life and action the regular school program are parts of the machinery which the Junior Red Cross places at the disposal of the school authorities. Graded study courses giving practical methods of civic training, supplemented by pamphlets and helpful suggestions, are supplied to the local schools by the Junior Red Cross. An elaborate plan for promoting an interchange of correspondence between children in different sections of the United States as well as with children in foreign lands is being devised and will take a prominent place in the established classroom program. In promoting the general cause of child welfare, Red Cross courses in home hygiene and care of the sick, first aid, and dieting may be established in all Junior Red Cross Auxiliaries. The ideals and the objective of the Junior Red Cross are embodied in the pledge of service which the pupil takes when he signs the membership roll and pins on his coat the Junior's badge. The pledge which binds together service and citizenship reads: "We will seek in all ways to live up to the ideals of the Junior Red Cross and devote ourselves to its service. "We will strive never to bring discredit to this, our country, by any unprofit not. "We will revoke and obey our country's laws, and do our best to inspire a like reverence and obedience in those about us. "We will endeavor in all these ways, as good citizens, to transmit America greater, better and more beautiful than she was transmitted to us." At the foundation of this school program of the Junior Red Cross is a great love for American children. RED CROSS ACTIVE When disaster hits a community—fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad wreck or tsunami—the American Red Cross can be depended upon to follow right at its heels with help for the stricker people. Red Cross relief is almost always closely fording food, clothing, shelter and funds; doctors, nurses and special workers with long experience in handling similar trouble elsewhere. During the last year, ending June 30, there was an average of four disasters a month in the United States. One hundred and fifty communities in twenty-seven states suffered. The largest and most destructive of these were the tidal wave at Corps Christ, Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. In these events of horror 850 persons were killed, 1,500 were injured, 13,000 were made homeless, about 30,000 families needed help, the property loss was nearly $100,000,000 and almost $1,000,000 in relief funds, not including emergency supplies was expended. To the sufferers from all disasters during the year, the American Red Cross sent $120,000 worth of supplies, 110 Red Cross nurses and seven special relief trains. To meet the needs of the stricken, the organization set ten relief stations, operated chief, food canteens and as many emergency hospitals. One hundred and twenty-five Red Cross chapters gave disaster relief services. If disaster ever strikes this town or county, the citizens can be absolutely sure the Red Cross will be right as hard to help them in every way. YOUR RED CROSS The American Red Cross, by its Congressional charter, is officially designated: To furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in time of war, in accordance with the conventions of Geneva. To act in matters of voluntary relief and as a medium of communication between the American people and their Army and Navy. To continue and carry on a system of national and international relief in time of peace and to apply the same in mitigating the sufferings caused by pestilence, famine, fire, floods and other great calamities. To devise and carry on measures for preventing these causes of suffering.

FIRST AID TRAINING TO MEN AND WOMEN American Red Cross Is Teaching Hundreds of Thousands Life-Saving Methods. The purpose of instruction in First Aid to the injured offered by the American Red Cross is to train men and women to administer First Aid treatment promptly and intelligently when emergencies demand it. First Aid treatment is not intended to take the place of a physician's service. A surgeon should always be summoned as a precautionary measure where there is an injury of any consequence, but when one cannot be secured a few minutes' delay may mean a fatality. In such a case a person trained in First Aid is invaluable not only to the individual, but through him to the community in which he lives. There is perhaps no way of ascertaining the number of deaths or serious disablesments which result from lack of proper safeguards or prompt emergency treatment. It is safe to assert they number thousands daily. There can be no doubt that the application of First Aid methods to each case would immeasurably lighten the country's toll of suffering and death. The dissemination of First Aid training and information has already produced a farreaching and beneficial influence in the prevention of accidents in railroads, in mines and in great industrial concerns. The benefit of a widespread knowledge of First Aid in the event of a great disaster, such as a train wreck, an explosion, an earthquake, etc., is obvious. Layman who have had First Aid training can render efficient assistance. Many lives may depend upon such emergency care. Red Cross First Aid work includes (1) the formation and conduct, through Red Cross chapters, of classes for instruction in accident prevention and First Aid to the injured among men and women in all communities and in every industry; (2) the introduction of courses of instruction in high schools and colleges. The Red Cross is prepared to supply First Aid books and equipment at reasonable prices. Every person in this country able to do so should, in his own interest, receive Red Cross First Aid instruction. Information about the course and instruction classes may be had at the nearest chapter headquarters. RED CROSS EXTENDS RELIEF TO POLAND More than $5,000,000 has been spent by the American Red Cross in aiding the stricken people of Poland. The organization has nursed the sick, red the starving, clothed the naked, sheltered the homeless, schooled the children and cared for the orphans there. It has conducted a relentless fight against typhus, cholera and other terrible diseases. So today millions of men and women in that resurrected nation speak in grateful appreciation of "The Greatest Mother in the World." Nearly 200 American Red Cross workers are now engaged in relief activities in Poland. Four large relief bases are in operation and eleven mobile units are in the field. During the last twelve months this organization was largely instrumental in the re-establishment of a million refugees at a cost for general relief of more than $1,000,000. Last winter one-half million war orphans were aided materially, and since then a series of large orphanagas have been established to give them permanent care. But for American Red Cross aid, officials of Poland declared recently, millions of people in that country would have partished of disease, exposure or starvation the last eighteen months. And the week there must be kept up for another year. SHAKESPEAR SAID: "All The World Grant the truth now as then.
