On Saturday Nov., 20, solicitors for
the fourth annual Red Cross drive will
call on every person in the town of
Seward. They will ask you to become
a member of the most wonderful or
, ganization of its kind in the world.
One dollar will be sufficient to enroll
you, as a member. Prior to Saturday
those wishing to do so can drop in the
Sexton Hotel and pay their dollar and
receive a receipt and a button which
every member is entitled to wear. The
following statement made by Presi
dent Wilson covers the subject thor
oughly:—
WASHINGTON, Nov., 17— Presi
dent Wilson has urged his “fellow'
countrymen” to join the Red Cross
“in impressive numbers” during the
fourth annual roll call to be held dur
ing the fortnight beginning Armistice
Day.
“The American Red Cross,” said
the President, “deserves a hearty re
sponse to its fourth invitation to an
nual membership, which will be issued
during the fortnight beginning Nov.
11th. Armistice Day.
“Under the stimulus of war and
through the cooperation of our people,
this organization grew into immense
size, enlarged its range of activity,
served not only, our fighting forces
bn; also civilians involved in the hard
ship0 of war in our own nation and in
the nations associated with us in a
g'cat common enterprise, and gave to
tJu- world an example of effective
mercy through coordinated effort.
“Since the cessation of hostilities
the oiganization has faced a dual du
ty: First, to fullfill obligations creat
ed by the war, and, secondly, to odopt
its experience and machinery to the
needs of peace.
“It is, today, still assisting govern
mental agencies in the care and cheer
Gl our disabled soldiers and sailors, in
replacing those able to work in civil
ian occupations, and in counciling and
aiding the families of former combat
ants; ami it is still assisting, with di
minished resources, the process of re
habilitation in some of the more pros
trated countries of our foimer assoc
iates.
* wnile continuing tnpse manliest
obligations, .the Red Cross has been
accommodating methods and applying
lessons learned in war to the normal
needs of our own people in times of
peace, especially in regions where pro
visions for public health and welfare
were imperfectly developed. It has
placed public health nurses in many
localities, and has endeavored to en
list greater numbers of young women
is the nursing profession in order that
the supply might more early equal the
steadily increasing demand for com
rnunity nurses. It has devised a sche
me of “public health centers” for the
relief of maladies and for instruction
in hygiene, dietetics, and general prin
ciples of disease-prevention. With
its nurses and nurses* aides it has ren
dered incalculable service in the ser
ious epidemics of influenza. It hti
carried instruction in hygiene and
first aitf into schools, the women’*
clubs, and the homes of our country,
it has taught young and untaught mo
thers how to care intelligently for
tfcnir babioa, and has done much in
ways to promote child welfare,
upon whfcK~tHe ^welfare of theTnation
ultimately rests. It has made it a fun
damental principle to avoid futile du
plications, to cooperate with the bublic
agencies when its cooperation \va
sought, and to supply deficiencies
where such agencies had not* yet been
established.
“It has continued its educational
work among the school children
through its Junior Red Cross branch. 1
and it has, as one result of its war ex
perience, put preparation for disaster
i
relief on a scientific foundation, so
that it is now equipped to meet disast
or emergencies promptly is almost ev
ery part of our country.
“By systematic plans and practic
al performances, it has given a cleai
answer to the question why the Rc<’
Cross should be continued and cairied
ove» from war activities into peace
time activity. The answer is in the re
cord.
Additional to these obvious aspects
of the matter, there is another reason
vhy I, as President of the United
States end President of the American
ited C k; s, urge my fellow courtry
men to join the Red Cross in inures
s?ve nvmhers: Reaction follows emo
tion, ard after great effort coir«s'
pe; dons lassitude. Sound patnetisir.
and genuine human service are con
tinous, not intermittent, not contin
gent meerly upon the excitement of
war. It th»»rc is in some of us an in
ward cooling of the fine fervor which
animat<xl us in the crisis of the na
tion’s stress and peril, va contraction
of the spiit which enabled us as in
dividuals and as a nation, now, during
the ‘Red Cross Roll Call,” is a fitting
reason to tukc^counsel with our inn***
rcbes, to rekindle the old flune, to
reafirm allegiance to practical patrio
tisn> and practical humanitarianism,
and to symbolize the regeneration of
our better thoughts and handsomer
selves by re-enlistment ir. a great ar
my mobilized for the common good.”
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON.

TACOMA, Wash, Nov.. 17— The
next state legislature, which convenes
in January, will be asked to eirect a
more drastic prohibition law despite
the fact that the federal statutes are
designed to make'all states bone dry.
Donald A. McDonald, federal pro
hibition director forv this state, has
taken the initiative in Die movemon
and he has announced that th legisla
ture will be requested to pass a lav
that will send to jail every person con
| victed of liquor selling. Mr. McDonald
has enlisted the aid of George D. Con
ger of Seattle, secretary of the state'
Anti- Saloon League, and Fred Shoe
maker, commissioned of Public Safety
here, in the movement.
“As British Columbia voted wet, a
stringent law is needed in Washing
ton,” Mr. McDonald said. “I know one
bootlegger in the state who has clear
ed at least $50,000 the past two
years. RecenUy he was convicted and
fined $200.1 want^a stiff jail sentence
for first offences against the liquor
laws.”
Mr. McDonald said that 50 roads
cross the line from British Columbia
into Washington, and the problem of
stopping liquor sales with British Col
umbia again wet will be much diffi
cult than in Dm past

TACOMA, Nov., 17—Because wo
men's clothing is not provided with
pockets, stealing* is increasing among
Jie juvenile population, in the opinion
>f S. S. Healy, county probation of

very’ rarely do% a boy steal from a
man.

PERT PARAGRAPHS OF SENSE
AND NONSENSE FOREIGN AND
LOCAL, CAUGHT ON THE
FLY BY -THE HUMAN
TOOTHPICK ”
•s' _. ’ ‘
We were told this morning that the
population of Seward had been in
creased by the addition of two gold
fish; These fish arrived from some
where and are now listed among the
live members of the community. We.
have been wondering whether the dut
ies of the Fish Inspector make it nec
es. r y lev’him to keep tabs on the
go d fish. \.'e failed to see any report
relative to any acid test which has
been »n :de to determine whether these
* 1 / !
gold fish are real or just plated. If
they are real their value will undoubt
•
tdiy be increased by the passage of (
the Gold Bonus Bill. If they are not |
real they should be listed according to
their financial value. Fish is fish, but
when it comes to the gold kind it
seems to us that.if they are real they
should be taxed according to their
real value and the proper report made
to the public.
A Phenomenon.

”4Why did jinks rush out of the office
so excitedly?”
‘llis wife had just telephoned.”
‘Some accident at home.?”
‘Well, something like that. She said
their year old baby was a-sleep, and
links went to see what it looked like
that way.” '
The Gateway has no direct con
.lection with the Radio station but oc
casionally we pick up a flash of news
regarding one of the inhabitants ot
die Navy town. Last night we caught
i message relative to Dad Alurtin.
fou’ll remember Dad. He’s the guy
•vhu does circus stunts. An acrobat
md a tumbler. Recently he flip-flop
ped off of a barrel and mighty near
cracked his spinal column. Well he has
recovered and at the present time he
is just as ornery as he ever was. The
.vireless we caught mentioned the fact
chat he had taken to writin* jingle
rerse and now aspires to outrival old
Walt iWason. Here is a sample Dad
urned out secently.
fhe ot^er day says 1 to Red,
Pm just as spry as you dast be,
i may be old but Pm not dead,
Kou ain’t no spryer Red than me,
>ays Red to me you may be spry,
tfut age has made you slump,
You’re standing on that empty barrel
I'll bet you’re 'fraid to jump.
i swan I thought I had more sense,
Than ever try to make the jump,
Thinks L ; “Well dumb the conse
quence,
I tried and missed and fell ker-flump,
And Red that know-it-all galoot,
Just stood and laughed awhile at me,
i*d like to kick him with my boot,
dut I'm older than 1 used to be. .
Not bad Dad if you really wrote it.
We’d like to see the original copy and
read the rest of the verses. What say;
HIS APPETITE SURVIVED DEATH
Barbga came running to meet me,
saluted and told me that the magis
trate had fallen off his veranda and
had been killed and that he was call
ing loudly for Whiskey. Red Book Ma
