Ten Ways to Kill A War -Work Group The following rules appeared in the publication of the American Red Cross Aides in New York State. 1. Don't attend meetings, and if you go, get there late. 2. Never accept office. It is easier to criticize others than to have them criticize you. 3. Don't do any more work than you have to, and then, when some one who will work, does, talk over town about how the branch is being run by a clique. 4. If you have an idea, don't think of telling the branch, just tell all the girls at your bridge club. 5. Get mad if you are not put on a committee, or get mad if you don't get elected to the office you think you should have. 6. Don't let them learn to depend on you. Keep them guessing all the time about whether you'll be there or not. Tell them you'll do a thing and then just forget all about it. 7. Get good and mad at some mem- bers of the branch and quit having anything to do with it or them. Don't resign—that gives them too much satisfaction, and then besides they could get some one else to do the job you're unwilling to do. 8. Always be pessimistic. Especially about the branch ever growing into a chapter or making the quota at roll call, 9. Watch everything the officers do and run around telling the world at large how dumb they are. 10. Encourage your friends not to volunteer to the.Eed Cross for ser- vice "because they have too many people working for them, always for nothing." Another admonition has been add- ed to the list: 11. Don't tell the publicity depart- ment about anything you do in your division or group. She might put it in the paper and some one would know about it! Nine Tons of Salvage.— Nearly nine tons of newspapers, rags, and bones were collected and shipped last Saturday by the Clinton salvage committee. The trucks were waiting to take away the salvage as quickly as it was collected. This is the largest load that has been shipp- ed from here and the proceeds will amount to approximately 691.00.— Clinton News -Record.

Lots of Horses Around Elmira— In the majority of country towns and villages farmers when they drive Into town with a team or single horse usually help themselves to the ac- commodation afforded by church sheds without any paying far it. In the good old days, the hotels also fur- nished free accommodation. Now it is different, The church sheds are set, dos filled on Sunday or any other day. Old Dobbin his been replaced by the automobile, In Elmira it is diff- erent, Over there they operate a shed as a business proposition. The an- nual report at the end of the past year showed a satisfactory balance on hand, The shareholders were all satisfied. There must be fewer free sheds and many more horses around Elmira than in most places. --Arthur Enterprise News.
