Dec. 21, 1917 No. 51 -4- Make It a Red Cross Christmas On Christmas Day, 1917, this is what you will be doing: You will be putting a bit of gauze into the hand of a master surgeon to help him stop the bleeding of some boy's shell - torn body. You will be keeping American boys in khaki warm, boys who would otherwise feel the biting cold of wind-swept camps and freezing trenches. You will be visiting French- men whom the white plague has seized, and making their little re- mainder of life less miserable, and guarding their children from the death they face. You will be standing beside Italian mothers, bewildered by the sudden wretchedness that has fallen upon them, and help- ing them to feed their hungry children. You will be patching up a ruined cottage so that a French family, long homeless, can begin pltiently to build again the nor- mal structure of its life. You will be caring for little children who have lived through such horror as, please God, you will never see; and keeping them safe from dirt and disease and the death that falls from the skies. All this you will be doing—if you share the work of the Amer- ican Red Cross. You will be car- rying the message of American aid and friendliness to six na- tions. You will be saving little shreds of happiness for thoge whom the war has robbed of much that they cherish. You will be saving life. The Red Cross has asked ten million Americans to become partners in this service—and there has been none greater since wars began—before Christ- mas Day. There can be only one answer. Make it a Red Crois Christ- mas. Threatened to Call on the Governor It's hard to turn gOod men down. Last week we made men- tion of Espen Collins and Ray Blaisdell (Little Britches) being turned down by the recruiting officers at Billings. Here is the message that came to Ekalaka a few days ago on a post card: \Friend Bill—I and Little Britches just got by at the last moment. We told the officer if he didn't let us in we would call on the governor. We were sure tickled to get in, even if we are late. D. E. Collins R. L.

Several pupils have been hurt with snow balls this season, but that seems a part of the game, and the beat we can do is to be careful of the flying balls. The agricultural class is again relying on their old friend Greg- ory Mendel for facts he knows about plants. English III class has passed from the Elizabethan age to the age of purity. Our teacher informed us the other day that he did not live at the time the world was - created, and therefore he cannot tell us how it happened. We expect to have a merry Christmas and a happy New I Year, and return with a light' heart ready for work after the 1 vacatibn, and we wish the very I same to you. The Grades Martha Ramme returned home last week from a visit in Minne- sota. Mary Primer has been absent from school in order to assist her mother, who is ill. Harold Shaw returned Monday after two months' absence, dur- ing which time he has attended the Fairview school. Franc.es Malmquist was absent last week because of illness. We enjoy music and singing every day with the aid of the new piano. Miss Johnson was our guest last week. The old-time blizzard Friday kept about half of the school children from attending sehool on that day. The Fairview Observer Edited by the Fairview School 1 Vov. 1 Dec. 21, 1917 No. 3 While playing in the snow last Wednesday, Eileen caught a bad cold and was absent from school for a few days. Mr. Westphal and Wilton are trying to solve the meatless day problem with sage hens. Franklin got very industrious the other day and applied his tongue to the pump handle, which he found to be very ad- hesive. Albert and Vera were absent three days of last week. If anyone had happened to pass the school house last Friday they would have thought we were having a vacation. The absence of so many was no doubt due to the bad weather. We had a \10 o'clock scholar\ in school last week. What was the matter Charles? A number of the pupils froze themselves coming to school last Thursday. Frankie and Stanford both froze their ears. Wilton passed up his girl Sun- day for sage hens and got stung. Leo has decided that it isn't as cold as he thought and has start- ed to school again. Bobbie went for a sleigh ride with Mr. Westphal and Wilton Sunday. We're wondering how many tumbles he took. WE/ 414116. Snowballing is the chief game now. Frankie is wearing her hair in curls. She looks very nice. Are You? If you are in the market for a new car, let me fig- ure with you. Agency for Grant Six Ford, 1 Metz, and Buick Automobiles Frank Voss At the Ekalaka Garage • H. G.
