Sunday, November 13, has been designated Red Cross Sunday. President Harding, in his proclama- tion, recommends to all ministers and priests of all congregations, to stress the gospél of service on November 13. The American Red Cross is both the ,volunteer and semi-official me- diul‘ through which the American people may appropriately — express their patriotic and humane desires, to render practical assistance to their soldiers and sailors, to their fellow men in civilian life and to those peo- ples who have a human claim on the sympathetic concern of our own peo- ple. As a result of vast and varied ex- perience during the World war, the American Red Cross has devised and put into operation an extensive do- mestic health and welfare program whereby our communities are in- structed and directed in the solution of those community problems upon which the public welfare ultimately rests. The practical demonstration of this feature of the Red Cross work has been given in a strong manner in the city of Bémidji during the past year, and especially so during the last two or three months when epidemics of diphtheria, typhoid and scarlet fever threatened, but which were overcome through the work of the representa- tive of the Red Cross society. The local appeal will start Friday and it is felt that in lieu of the service which has been rendered in this com- munity, there should be a generous response. American Coal at Rio.

The forests of western Oregon and Whashington contain the largest reser- voirs of virgin timber left in the United States; and a large proportion of the lumber used by the country comes from this region, says the American Forestry Magazine. Washington has, since 190%; held foremost place among the states in quantity of lumber pro- duced, Oregon now ramks third in production, but first In volume of standing timber, and it will not be long before the increasing annual cut will place hier at the head, or next the head, of . timber-producing sts Brooklyn Eagle.

Whether—after the cool, green wood— It chanced on the dell where your dream- house stood? Maybe—beginning dusty and rough, It keeps up the pretense just long enough To. tire those who haven't the clew, And leave the adventure—and end—to you? ) Maybe it leaves the highway to follow Up, swooping up like the flight of a swal- ow— 5 Till valley and town lie dim below, And Time flies far on the winds that blow, There you may find a nook for your dreaming, Seeming, Just planned for you from the Eden- glow. So the little road cries to me: “Follow, follow, Maybe you'll find that your dreams are hollow, Maybe you'll see—but follow, follow, Camel with the faith of the homing swal- ow, Or, to your death, you will never know.” —Ellen Morris Mills, in The Lyric West. CLOUDS'ON FACE OF JUPITER Professor Reports Astronomical Ob- I servation, Which Has Also Been I Seen by, Other Scientists. | Prof. W. H. Pickering, in a recent address before the British Astronomi- cal association, recalled the fact that during his observations at Arequipa he noticed that the surface of Jupiter, instead of being composed of uniform bands of yellowish white or brown, really consisted of an enormous num- ber of extremely minute reddish-brown clouds seen upon a perfectly white haekovound. The; effect of belts was Orawing From Flammarion’s “Popular Astronomy” Showing Bands on the Face of Jupiter. produced where the cloudlets were numerous, and the light spaces where they were scarce. He compared the appearance of these spots to the well- krown ‘rice grains” on the sun. Their lengths lay in the direction of rotation of the plunet.

Making a Church “Pay.” : The Union church on West Forty- ninth street, New York, is cutting up a new wrinkle once again. Years back, writes a correspondent of the Cincin- natl Commercial Tribune, it erccted a huge electric sign. facing Broadway, to advertise its ser es. All of which was considered horrible and every- thing until the legitimacy of the en- deavor was realized. Other clergymen duplicated the idea. We have clectric signs in front of churches here. But now the Union church is renting its community rooms for theatrical re- hears: Their rates are cheap and producers ave lining up for dates. New gasps of amazement are being heard. Ho, hum!

'This, he says, is his invocation to the god of chance. Instances are coming to light of the superstitions of the airman. The other day, just before a machine was to leave, a notice board standing near it fell. A friend laughingly said to the pilot. “You're in for a rough trip.” The airman was indighadt. - “Don’t say a thing like that,” he exclaimed, replacing the board again, Telling the tale afterward the pilot said: “I was not a bit- surprised when not long after T Lad started my engine sud- denly gave trouble and forced me to land.”—From the Continental Edition of the London Mai Note. to remove weeds, a widow.—Bos- The easiest v Robert, is to mazry ton Tran: Disagreeable Weather., “Did ye hear that our weather fore- || caster is tryin’ to get transferred? “No, I dido’t, S What's trouble.” “He says the climate doesn’t agree with him.”—Western Christian Advo- cate.
