C.. Nov. 3.— The Federal Government is mak ing every effort to relieve the un employment situation now faced by this country, and has called upon the citizens of every state, coun ty and community to lend their aid for the relief of those who are without employment or means of support. The President has appointed an Emergency^Opmmittee for Employ ment, with Col. Arthur Woods as chairman. This committee will work with three groups: 1—government bodies, 2—industrial organizations and bodies, 3—the public. Its intention is to intensify effort and stimulate renewed activ ity during this winter. “The problem embraces two phases,” , according to Colonel Woods. “The first is employment; the second, provision of relief in those cases where employment is not available. The first is obvious ly very much to be desired, but the last will be necessary also. “There are two directions in which more intensive organization can work. One is geographical— that is, through the nation, the states, municipalities and the coun ties. The other is by industries. I shall aim to co-operate in both . ways, with the states, municipali ties, and* local communities on the one hand, and with leaders of the different industries on the other. “As far as. the Federal Govern ment goes, I find that the various agencies are making redoubled ef forts at employment through the departments, and this work will be pushed to the utmost. This prob lem is one that can be answered only if the whole country takes a hand at it. National unity in ac tion and organization is the only force that can bring the answer. With 120,000,000 American people in the United States, with our re sources, our ability for organiza tion, and our loyalty, we can take care of the comparatively small fraction that are unemployed and may suffer from want and priva tion as cold weather comes* on. What is needed is recognition of the obligation of every man and woman to his neighbor and to use this in team work to carry through the winter.” Trespass Notice Trespassing in any form, either hunting by day or night, is hereby strictly forbidden on my lands be- twean Mt.

QUANTRILL, alias Charley Hart, alias Ed Hart, out law and guerrilla, appears to have been one of the world’s greatest mon sters. Some writers have tried to make a hero out of him. But the evidence against him Is beyond ques tion. Horn in Canal Dover, Maryland, in 1837, he started to wander when twen ty years old. After a brief visit in Ohio we find him in Mendota, III. There he is discovered one day stand ing over a dead man with a smoking revolver In his hand. He claims the man tried to hold him up. Murder is f suspected, but nothing comes of It. After a brief time around Paola, Kan., he goes West across the plains as muleteer with a wagon train. He signs under the name of Charley Hart, because he has left Pnola under sus picion of theft, robbery and other crimes. He has a sensational career in Utah as a gambler—big stakes. A few months later he is in Lawrence, Kan. Here his criminal career gets Im petus. The border wars are on. Kansas is a free state; Missouri, slave. Clans arise. Guerrilla war fare commences. Those on the Mis souri side are called -bushwhackers or jaywalkers. Those on the Kansas side, red legs. The Civil war is not on yet Quantrill, In the beginning, tries to run with both packs. He lures slaves out of Missouri and takes them back to get rewards. % He mixes horse steal ing and highway robbery with murder. Finally he ends up !n jail and the rope is all but around his neck. The charges come from Lawrence, Knn. He escapes and thrives for a time by betraying his associates; luring them into ambush and death. Civil war comes on. The North outlaws him. He goes to Richmond seeking a colonelcy. But the South refuses to accept him. Only one course Is open to him. He is outlawed by the North so he must •light the North. He gathers together his guerrillas. They wear a semt-unl- form ; a strange, picturesque guerrilla •shirt. Each, man carries from two to six revolvers. They steal horses and become. the finest band of fighting horsemen in the world I Quantrill has many hates but one bigger than all the rest. It is his hate for Lawrence, Kan., scene of many of his crimes—including murders. He sets out for Lawrence. The start is made with 294 of his own men. On the way he picks up Holt’s Confederate command; 104 more. Fifty men meet him at Grand river. That makes 448. Probably a few stragglers Join the enterprise; more than 450 In all. They ride Into Lawrence. Quantrill has made a list of men marked for death. It contains the name of every man against whom he holds a grudge. And he is liberal with his hate. At dawn on August 20, 18G3, Quantrill rides into Lawrence. He gives one or der. It is “Kill, Kill, Kill.” Seldom in the history of the world has there been anything so terrible as the Lawrence massacre. Between dawn and nine o’clock more than one hundred fifty men and boys are mur dered. Eighty women, wives, at day break, are made widows; two hundred fifty children orphaned in four hours. Many homes are burned. Stores and hotels become ashes. Property loss l? .$2,000,000. Seeing the Confederacy falling, Quantrill is taken with fear. To sur render Is sure death. So he flees to Kentucky with a handful of follow ers. Lee’s surrender finds him a fugi tive, always running away from his pursuers. Raiding and stealing, he is living oft of Kentucky. Finally the son of a southern family, Capt. Edwin Terrill only nineteen years old, organizes a company of guerrillas—to fight as he fights—and starts after him. They strike him near Bloomsfield, Ky. • The battle is fast, furious, decisive. Quantrill falls with a bullet through his hack and his trigger finger shot off. He is paralyzed, for the bullet has hit his spine. That is on May 10, 1865. He dies on June 6, in the Mil itary Piison hospital, Louisville. \ Burial is made in an unmarked grave. Twenty-three years later, in 1888. a historian comes, seeking the spot where Quantrill lies. An attache takes him to a door and points his Unger, saying: 4 Tt’s out there—where we throw the slop.” They dig and find a few bones; a grinning skull; It has fragments of tow-colored hair clinging to it. It has a broken tooth. QunntriU’s hair was low-colored. He had a broken tooth. (©. 1929. I.eater B. Colby.I College Bill* in 1835 Old documents brought to light at 1 Brunswick, Maine, reveal extraordinary economic changes in undergraduate life at Bow'doin college. In 1835 the lultion for an entire year w T as placed at $24. A year’s room rent cost only $10, board in the commons amounted to $40 a year, incidental charges on college bills totaled another $10. Mi cellaneous small expenses Incurred, such as those for wood, lights, wash ing, stationery, use of books and fur niture, was rated at $30. The entire expense list for a year at Bowdoin to less than $200. HEEDS FUX Ktl) GROSS SERVICE ON INCREASE, SAYS CHAIRMAN PAYNE Improved Uniform International SundaySchool ’ Lesson ’ McCormick Holiness Church Schedule Disaster Relief and Service to War Veterans Make Heavy De mands—First Aid on Highways New Plan. Damands upon the public services that the American Red Cross is or ganized to give are increasingly heavy, and will continue to be so in the fu ture, John Barton Payne, chairman, has announced. The two major services of the so ciety—service to war veterans and their dependents, and relief in disas ters—show each year a greater num ber of persons helped by the Red Cross. •Pension legislation passed recently for World War Veterans, and increased allotments to all Spanish-American War Veterans, have gi”en to Chapters and the national society many thou sands of additional cases t(\ handle. Judge Payne said. In the past year help was given in 108 disasters. Ninety of these were in the United States, twelve in foreign possessions and six were in foreign countries. Health activities of the Red Cross also are being extended, especially in the rural communities where all health authorities agree the greatest need exists. Red Cross, with 794 nurses in its employ, is the greatest employer of public health nurses in rural areas lu the United States. In its campaign against accidental deaths, begun twenty yeare ago with its life saving and first aid programs, the Red Cross now has adopted an ad ditional program—that of combating the huge toll of lif^ from automobile accidents on the highways. Expenditures of the Red Cross in the past year were $4,254,796.34, of which $1,208,151.09 was spent in disaster relief, the chairman pointed out. “The Red Cross depends upon the public for its support, through their memberships enrolled once each year In the period frotn Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Day,” Judge Payne said. “We do not receive any support from the Governmeat, or through other tax ation, although as the President of the United States is president of the so ciety, and one-third of its governing members are representatives of U. S. Departments. It ranks as a semi-gov- ermental agency. “By joining as a member, in the local Red Cross Chapter, once each year, during the annual Roll Call, every citizen will have a part in car rying on this great humanitarian task.” Motor Injuries Treated By Red Cross First Aid In line with its work for the preser vation of life and prevention of acci dental death, the American Red Cross has adopted a new program of emer gency first aid stations on the high ways of the nation, where victims of automobile injuries will be helped. In the last year 31,000 persons were killed as the result of automobile acci dents and more than 1,000,000 were injured. As its contribution to the nation wide safety campaigns of other organizations, the Red Cross will aid through the emergency stations. A number already are in operation by Chapters on such important traffic ar teries as the Westchester County. N. Y., park system, the Valley Forge and Gettysburg highways in Pennsyl vania and the White Horse Pike in New Jersey, connecting with Atlantic City. Saving Mothers and Babies Is Important Red Cross Task Saving mothers’ lives and better ba bies were important features during the past year of the Public Health Nursing Service of the American Red Cross. About four-fifths of the 794 nufses in the Red /Cross work made more than 100.000 prenatal and mater nity visits. In addition to assisting doctore in (he examination of 1,309,409 school children. Statistics reveal that the lives- of two out of three Americi.1 women who die in maternity cases could be saved if they received proper medical and nursing care. As more than 15,000 women die in the United States each year from various diseases of the ma ternal state, this means that more than 10,000 of these deaths are pre ventable. Comfort Kits Sent 40,000 Service Men by Red Cross Gay patterned cretonne bags, or comfort kits* containing articles use ful and amusing, are sent by the Red Cross to 40,000 soldiers, sailors and Marines, on foreign service, as Christ mas remembrances. The little gift bags are donated and packed by women in Red Cross Chap ters all over the country. They are despatched by Army transport In the early autumn in order to reach the foreign ports and posts of the U. S. -services in time to be hung on the Christmas trees. Giving the remem brances from home is the outgrowth of a plan adopted by the Red Cross prior to the World War when so many National Guard regiments were on the Mexican border. (By REV. P. B.

Western Newspaper Union.» Lesson for November 9 THOMAS, THE HONEST DOUBTER LESSON TEXT—John 11:14-16; 14:5- 8; 20:24-20; 21:1, 2. GOLDEN TEXT—And Thomas an swered and said unto him, My Lord anc my God. PRIMARY TOPIC — Learning to Trust Jesus. f JUNIOR TOPIC—Thomas, % the JVian Who Wanted to Be Sure. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Learning to Trust J esus - vrYTT-cn T>i7!r*T>T.TT! AND ADULT lOP- The name Thomas means “a twin. His alternate name, Didymus, means the same. From the linking of his name with Matthew in the listing of the 'disciples, it is commonly inferred that Thomas was a twin brother of Matthew. Thomas is constantly presented in the Scriptures as a man of skeptical mind, yet of unquestioned character. He was an honest doubter. The Lord is not displeased when men put him to the test. No honeot skeptic has ever been left In darkness. The truth of Christ’s declaration still- obtains, “If any will do his he shall know” (John 7:17). I. The Fidelity of Thomas (John 11:14-16). When Lazarus, the beloved brother in the Bethany home, was sick, the distressed sisters, Mary and Martha, sent for Jesus because they had come to know him as more than a mere man. Jesus, after a strange delay, went to Bethany. He knew, and ap parently the disciples knew, that going to Judea at this time meant death. His mission in going unto Judea was twofold: to strengthen the faith of the disciples (vv. 11-15), and to restore to these sisters their dead brother. Jesus fearlessly discharged his duty, though his life had been threat ened. He plainly declared that Laz arus was dead. Thomas was skeptical as to Jesus’ ability to raise Lazarus from the dead. In spite of this fact, his loyalty moved him to cast his lot with Jesus. II. J—Vf, the Vy*y to the Father»e House (John 14:$-8)r Jesus asked the disciples to trust in him even as they trusted in God, assuring them that he was going to the Father’s house and would come back and escort them to heaven. Christ asserted that he is; 1. The Way to God (v. 6). Jesus is more than a mere guide to the Father’s house or a teacher. He is the way itself. 2. The Truthi (v. 6). He is not merely the teacher of truth, but he is the truth incarnate. In him we have the truth about man, what he is and what lie ought to he and what he shall be in the future. In him especially we have the truth about God. Only as Christ reveals God can men know him (John 1:18). 3. The Life (v. 6). Christ is not merely the giver of life. He is the very essence of life. III. Thomas Makes Absolute De mands (John 20:24-20). 1. Jesus manifests himself to the disciples, Thomas being absent (vv. 24. 25). He was absent at Jesus’ first ap pearance after the resurrection, just why, we may never know. His absence deprived him of a vision of the Lord. Absence from the assembly of believ ers always occasions loss. The other disciples went to Thomas with the glad news of the resurrection, but he did not believe their testimony. His stubborn disbelief was such that he doggedly declared that unless he saw the nail prints «nd put his finger therein and thrust his hand into the Lord’s side he would not believe. 2. Jesus manifests himself to the disciples, Thomas being present (vv. 26-29). ' Observe: (1) The Lord's kindness to those who have difficulties (vv. 26. 27). Thomas deserved rebuke, but the Lord quietly supplied the evidence demanded. . - (2) The Lord reveals himself to Thomas (vv. 27, 28). Upon this revelation .of himself Thomas was transformed from a doubter to a confessor. 3. The superior blessing of believ ing without sight sv. 29). Having patiently furnished Thomas with tangible evidence of his resur rection, Jesus instructed him that to believe in him without such tangible evidence as lie demanded was a higher and better state of mind than his. IV. Jesus Reveals Himself After the Resurrection (John 21:1, 2). Thomas had learned his lesson. He was on hand tfle next time the Lord revealed himself.
