AMERICAN NATIONAL
RED CROSS

Numerous reports have been circul-
ated recently that garments manu-
factured for the Red Cross are being
sold to individuals for exhorbtant
prices and in some instances these
articles have been found in lumber
camps. quarries, etc, with note at
tached to the sleeve. or pinned in the
sock. indicating that it had been made
by some woman for our own soldiers
or the soldiers of the Allies.
We have followed up every com
plant made through the newspapers
and many others made by individuals
and in every instance we have found
that it has been merely hearsay.
We may not be able to suppress
these false reports, which seem to be
made by those who are trying to dis
credit the Red Cross, but we can give
the public the actual facts and at the
same time guard more carefully than
ever. these articles which come to our
hands for the purpose OF mitigating
the sufferings of our own fighting men
and those who fight with us, and all
who may suffer as a result of this
human earthquake.
May we ask you to give wide public
ity to the telegram quoted as follows:
Washington, DC, Sept. 2S. 1917.

o42 Market St.
San Francisco, California
Story is being industriously circulat-
ed to effect that Sweaters, Socks and
other articles knitted for the Red
Cross are being sold either to the pub
lie in shops or direct to the soldiers.
Very important that you issue notice
at once TO each Chapter denying this
as vigorously as you know how. No
articles whatever either knitted or
otherwise made by the Red Cross
workers and turned in to any Red
Cross Chapter branch or Auxiliary or
to any supply warehouse are sold eth
er to the soldiers or in shops. If any
wilful case of this sort should come
to the attention of headquarters the
Charter of the Red Cross Chapter or
subsidiary sanctioning it would be i'm
mediately withdrawn with full publici-
ty. Should it transpire that actual
instance of the above character oc-
Cured wherein an individual sold ar
ticles after their having been turned
in covering the Red Cross and we
would take vigorous steps to prosecute
the offender. 1t is also true that any
case of persons other than those ac-
quiring the right prior to January
Nineteen Hundred and Five using the
name or emblem of the Red Cross
to assist in the sale of merchandise
is a violation of the provisions OF the
Federal Criminal Law and the Offend
er should be reported to the United
States District Attorney for prosecu'
ton. There is no way to prevent the
people from making the same type OF
articles as are produced by Red Cross
workers and selling them fer their
own advantage thus subjecting the
Red Cross to unjust criticism. Should
thew use the name or emblem OF the
Red Cross in connection with sucr
sales however they will be vigorously
prosecuted.

Compulsory Work Act Will Be En-
forced.

Governor Harrington declares that
the Compulsory Work Act, a product
of the General Assembly, recently in
special session, will be strictly en-
forced, without respect to those
whom it hits. 1t is now a choice for
the idler to work for decent pay or
to work for the state at a low wage.
The original bill was amended by
the General Assembly, so as to ex-
clude strikers from it's operations.
Those engaged in seasonable occupa-
tions in Baltimore and in Allegany
county, such as travelling statesmen,
school teachers, etc, are also exclud-
ed from it's operations.
The law provides for the assign
ment of all "able-bodied male per-
sons" except the exemptions men-
toned, between 1S and SO years of
age.
There existed the impression,
while the Act was sbeing considered
by the legislature, that it was de-
signed to compel workmen out of
employment temporarily to go to
work and that persons could be
drafted by the state and forced to
accept whatever the state choose TO
pay.
Nothing of the kind was contem-
plated by those who framed the bill.
1t was intended to utilize the serv-
ices of those who are constitution
ally opposed to exerting themselves,
either in field or factory where labor
is now in demand Of course, it will
catch the hobo and other types of
vagrants who exist at the expense Of
others, but the trainers wanted it
most because of it's moral effect.
Immediately after it's provisions
became known the farmers through
out the state experienced no diff
Guilty in securing the help they need
ed and when it is realized there is
more land under cultivation now
than at any time in the life of the
state, it means there are more per
sons employed in the field at time
when assistance is most necessary
than ever before.
When Notwithstanding the great
number of hands required to harvest
this crop, there are more than
enough to supply the demand, the
beneficent effect of the Compulsory
Work Act is apparent. 1t is now
considered the best law passed dur
ing the extra session and yet because
it was misunderstood by some labor
leaders it was actually killed the
first time it came up in the House.
The credit for pushing it through
the Senate belongs to Senators Will
liams and Harrison Baltimore
American.

When Shall Wheat Be Sold.

To sell or not to sell is the ques-
tion which many farmers are de-
batting as the wheat harvest ap-
proaches, says the Pennsylvania
Farmer. The farmer naturally wish
es to do that which will bring him
the most money for his wheat crop,
but. whether that will be at time of
harvesting and threshing, or wheth-
er he shall store the grain, as many
do, in the sheaf and thresh in winter
these are questions which are be-
ing asked. The newspapers COM
ments upon the wheat situation
make mention of the improved crop
prospects, the good crops in other
countries, the possible early ending
of the war, the uncertainty as to
what the Government will do in the
matter of price regulation, etc.
Most of these comments and opin-
ions, it may be said, are inspired by
those interested in buying wheat as
cheaply as possible. \
While crop prospects in this coun-
try have improved somewhat during
the past six weeks, the crop will
still be far short of a normal one
and but little above what is needed
for home consumption since there is
practically no surplus on hands.
Since the allies are looking to us
for their bread supply we may read
lily guess the relation between the
supply and demand for next year,
even if the war should stop tomor
row.
We believe it is safe to assume
that the Government will not inter-
fere in the matter of price regula-
ton in any way which will affect the
price paid to the farmer. 1t may
intervene to prevent speculation and
the setting of extortienate prices by
dealers and brokers after they have
bought the wheat from the farmers,
and this, we believe, is right. We
may expect the usual efforts to bring
the price down to the lowest posi-
BILE point at harvest time, since most
of the wheat in the great Northwest
wheat section is sold direct from
the thresher to the elevators.
Last year wheat was quoted in the
Eastern markets at $1.05 to $1.2O
the latter part of July, and by the
end of the year sold at over So per
bushel. We would advise farmers
not to be stampeded into selling hur-
riedly for fear the market will go
to pieces later. In all probability
the past custom of Eastern farmers,
which is to hold wheat for later
prices, should be followed this year,
although it is doubtful whether the
market quotations will reach the
high points of last winter.

Buying NicEels At Thirty-Seven
Cents Each.

cents Eacn.
Extract from speech of Hon. Chas
H. Randall, of California, in the
House of Representatives, June Z:
"Under the proposed schedules of
Acknowledgment revenue the United
States presents the ridiculous spec
tacle of buying its own nickels from
the liquor traffic at the rate of SAD
per dozen, or 81 cents each! 1t is
needless to say that 1 am opposed to
the transaction and that every Mem
Der of this House, wet or dry, should
unite against such financial idiocy.
There is nothing morally or financi-
ally sound in drawing revenue from
any traffic or institution that brings
disease, death, debauchery, or any
other harm to the people. 1t is re-
pugnant to every moral and financial
sense. But if the liquor traffic act
ually paid one single little lonesome
tinker's tin tirzy of net revenue that
would be both holy and wise compar-
ed with the criminal folly which We
commit in the pending revenue bill,
for we submit to a national loss of
$7.56 in good, clean, wholesome
money for every polluted, blood
blistered, crime-cankered, tearstain-
ed dollar that the traffic covers into
the Treasury. Let us face the facts
and forget custom, habit, prejudice,
and politics and do business for the
people of these United States on a
business basis"

MARYLAND WOODsMEN FOR
FRANCE.

State Issues Call for Mill Hands,
LOggers, WOOdsmen, and Team
sters to Fill the Ranks of
Forest Regiment.
From the Howard Street Office of
F. w. Bealey, State Forester and
Listing officer for Maryland, comes
the call for additional we11-trained
/ woodsmen to complete the roster of
the Tenth U. S. Regiment of Forest
Engineers, soon to form for France.
Preliminary listing of eligible men
has been going on during the past
month by Listing officers in this and
other States, and while a great num-
ber of professional foresters, clerical
assistants, and automobile operators
have already been passed upon by
the Maryland Office, word has come
from Washington that there is still
room for a considerable number of
men who have, above everything
else, good amount of first-hand,
practical experience along the requir-
ed lines. In the forming of these
first units for France each man is
expected to be expert in his own
particular line, and he is listed with
this in mind. There will be no time
for educating recruits to their very
necessary tasks in the forests of
France.
The duty of this regiment will be
TO get out timber needed by our
armies and those of our Allies. The
work will be performed behind the
battle lines, but may fall within the
danger zone. Recruits must be
white, between 1S and 40, and will
join for the period OF the war. They
will be subject to the regular army
physical examination. Recruits for
this force will be sent to the nearest
Army Recruiting Station by Mr..
Besley, beginning July 9th, to be
directly recruited and enlisted in the
forces of the United States. The pay
of men turned directly over to the
Recruiting officers will begin at once,
and the men sent to depots for ap-
proximately three weeks of prelim-
mary drill, outfitting with military
clothing, and medical attention.
About August 1 they will be assem-
bled at one of the battalion head
quarters, the Eastern Regimental
and battalion headquarters being at
the American University, Washing
ton, D. G.
So far in Maryland there has been
a very fair response. 1t must be
better. Practically one-ha1f of all
inquiries, and a full half of the ac-
cepted men, have come from Balti- !
more City. 1t is realized that the
counties have men we'll equipped for |
the work at hand. Men suject to |
will discharge their |
obligations by joining this Regi-
ment; but more, it offers in every !
respect an exceptionally attractive |
Prompt recruiting will |
enable this Forest Regiment to be
among the first to leave under the |
American flag for France, and it is
hoped that there will be full quota
of picked Maryland men to go with
it. Those who are now particularly
needed are horse handlers and team
sters, mill hands, loggers, and all
round woodsmen. A considerable
of blacksmiths, truck |
drivers, woods cooks, portable mill
sawyers and engineers, log rollers,
and lumber stackers are also called |
for, and eligible men will be accepted
at attractive pay. Application forms
may be secured by writing or apply
ing to F. w. Besley, Listing Officer,
532 N. Howard St., Baltimore. This
