6 PRESIDENT ISSUE RED CROSS APPEAL ) Calls on All People to Renew Support at Annual Roll Call. President Coolidge issued a procla- mation yesterday calling on the peo- pls of the United States to enroll in the American Red Cross during the organization’s annual roll-call period, from Armistice day, November 11, to Thanksgiving, November 25. As Chief Executive of the Govern- ment and president of the Red Cross, he declared it was the “privilege and duty” of all the people to continue their support of “this legion of mercy."” The proclamation_follows: “The American Red Cross has a foremost place in the ranks of dis- tinctive American institutions which we honor and loyally support. Oper. ating in practically every city, town and county in the United States, as well as in our territorial possessions, it has become an intimate part of our evervday life. To it we turn in- stinctively and confidently when sud-| den calamities occur. Cites Proof of Efficiency. “Each vear we have renewed proof of the willingness, the promptness and the efficiency of this organization in responding to the call of duty. It has bacome the recognized agency of our Government and of our people in meeting emergencies calling for prompt assistance of a material char- a«";llr, whether on our own or foreign 80! . “It is not alone at time of disaster | that the Red (‘ross serves humanity. Tt has heen called the ‘greatest moth- er in the world’ to thousands of ex- service men not yet recovered from disabilities recaived during the war. As a definite duty placed upon it by the Congress, the Red C(ross does much to prevent as well as to relleve suffering. In teaching methods of life saving and safeguarding the pub- lic health the organization has be- come as valuable in as in war Acts for All People. “In_these many services to suffer- ing humanity the American Red Cross is able to act in the name of all the people of the United States. This is so because each vear, from Armis tice day to Thanksgiving day, the of ganization extends to every one the invitation to enroll in its ranks. Its work is supported by these member- ship dues. “It is a privilege and a duty shared | by all our peopls to continue our sup- port of this fine organization. As President of the United States and as president of the American Red Cro T earnestly ask all our citizens to re new thelr membership in this legion of mercy.” Because of heavy st of fuel, caused by the coal strike, potteries of Eng: land have rdised the prices of their wares. arch-sup- porting black brown Datent Time to Start Xmas Hosiery Gift Buying The “Stocking Shops” at all our stores—ready! time of peace | tions—Cranberries By the Associated Press.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., November 6 (#)—The days of the picturesque “turkey trot,” the annual drive of holiday birds to market, have almost passed into limbo in Texas along with the cattle drive and the round-up, and a majority of Thanksgiving dinners will come to market this year in auto- mobile trucks. The time was when south Texas produced almost 90 per cent of the Nation's turkey crop, and the fowls ven in great flocks to the al market centers. There the s were herded much as cattle were herded for the round-up. and pucking house buyers were given a ‘hance to inspect millions of Thanks- | | giving dinners on the hoof. The birds lost %o much flesh in thix process, however, that most of them are car- ried to market nowadays. Texas still produces a large portion of the turkeys used at Thanksgiving, owing to the fact that they mature here early. They graze on -the big open ranges, very much as cattle e grazed,-and develop on a diet of acorns, small - berries and insects. me farmers feed cc™n a few duys before markosting, but most of the early birds get nothing: but worms, and whatever else they can find themselves.

LONDON, November 6 — Harry Houdinl’s spirit will be sought in the afterlife under plans made by Spirit- ualists, whose. claims of communica- tion with the departed were continual- ly challenged by the great magiclan during the latter part of his life. British, and also Continental be-| ltevers in Spiritualism, desire to settle the question whether the man whom Sir Arthur Conan Doyle characterized as the “master trickster” actually did his remarkable feats by legerdemain or through the exercise of super- natufal power. Those who believe that the latter was the case, contend that he extri- cated himself from places of confine- ment, including his famous “water cell” by dematerialization, and that | his feats were not actvaliy accomp lished by dexterity and trickery as he claimed. Arrangements are already heing made, following upon his death last Sunday, to endeavor to communicate with his spirit in hopes of proving this contention. — = -Gathers English Works. | countles.
