A royal reception was accorded
contingent Of the boys who were draft

Ladies Of Princeton, at all times
generous, prepared an excellent
chicken supper for the young men-a
good substantial meal with delicious
accessories the boys greatly rel
ished the viands. In addition to the
supper there was a short program of

An Appeal for the Red Cross.

Citizens of Mile Laos County,: We
call ourselves patriotic, and we are;
we call ourselves generous, and we
are; but we are not patriotic enough
and we are not generous enough. Do
you know that we are falling far, far
short Of our plain duty as regards the
Red Cross work here in our own
county?
,r The Red Cross society is a society
to which every man, woman and child
of this glorious country of ours should
belong; yet right here in our county,
with population of $4,000, less than
$50 are enrolled as members of the
society that does the work of taking
care Of our soldier boys in the camps
and on the battlefelds.
We do not wish to unnecessarily
harrow your feelings, and we know
that it is hard for us-so far removed
from the scenes Of action-to realize
that this country is at war; but such
is the case and we cannot alter the
grim fact by shutting the eyes of our
minds against the horrors that are
happening on blood-soaked fields, even
though they are happening so many
thousands of miles away from US. The
fact remains irrefutable. We are at
war and soon our big, fine American
boys are going to be in the thick of
these terrible battles. We do not like
to think of them as the victims of the
dreadful explosives of war that the
brain of man has devised to main
and kill his fellow man, but unless a
miracle happens, and happens very
quickly, our boys will soon be in the
front line trenches, and even the dull
est knows what that means. .
We, here at home, cannot stay the
bursting shell; we cannot stop the
whistling bullet which all too often
finds it's mark; we cannot dispel the
noxious gasses that belch forth to
blind and strangle our splendid boys,
But there is much we can do to allay
the sufferings and to minister to the
comfort of our boys who represent us
on the battlefelds, and most Of this
must be done. through the Red Cross
We must work and give to the Red
Cross if our boys are to be properly
cared for. We must shake off our
feeling of complacency and face the
! situation squarely by doing the share
Of the Red Cross work that is ap.
portioned to us. That efficient and
s~nighly organized society has appor.
toned to each district it's just share

A Change of Front.

It is difficult for a man who wants
to be fair and who desires to get the
honest facts to escape the conviction
that the Nonpartisan league leaders
have any other purpose than to create
unrest by preaching dissension and
appealing to prejudice. Their state
ments about 1920 wheat are case in
point. For weeks previous to the es-
Enlistment Of the 1920 price, their
speakers and their newspaper harped
on the fact that the $500 price for
wheat which then prevailed was a
Spectators" price, that it was alb
normal and based on nothing but the
greed of the gambler who had cor
nered the wheat Of the country. These
statements, continually hammered in,
impressed the farmer with the fact
that the laws Of the country were
framed to enable parasitic middlemen
to profit unfairly off his product.
There is no question but that market
ing conditions played into the hands
Of the gambler and the Speculation, but
in appealing to the farmer for his
support and his vote the agitators
played the condition to the limit -and
then some. However, the government
stepped in, drove out the speculator
and fixed the wheat price at what
seemed to be fair. This was done
without any help, advice or assistance
from the agitators. The gambling and
Specializing conditions were com
pletely relieved and the farmer was
guaranteed a wheat price honestly
believed to be highly profitable. This

Eat Cottage Cheese.

OOoOS~o~ 0AANNo>s 10
In the great conservation scheme
cottage cheese constitutes large
asset
There is skim milk on every farm
where cows are kept.
Skim milk is easily made into cot
tage cheese. A gallon makes one and
a half pounds.
Cottage cheese is one of the best
substitutes for meat, not only because
of it's food value but also because from
it dishes can be made. which fit into
our meals as meat does. >,
There are more than. 100000 farms
which keep dairy cows. A pound of
cottage cheese each week made on
each of these farm and used in place
of meat would mean a quarter of a
billion pounds of meat available each
year for emergency uses.
If there is only a little skim milk,
make cottage cheese from it and use
it at home. Many farmers have skim
milk enough to make cottage cheese
for home use and to supply families
IN nearby towns. The United States
Department Of Agriculture urges that
the cottage-cheese maker and the cot
tage cheese user get together.
Cottage cheese can be used alone
IN salads, as cottage-cheese loaf, and
in many other attractive dishes,

Do you realize that we as a county
are falling miserably short Of our ap-
portionment In August our local
chapter received word that we were
expected to turn in by the first of
October one hundred sets of knitted
articles, these sets to consist OF sweat
ers,- socks, wristlets and scarfs. We
have failed to meet our obligations
and have to shamefacedly confess
that not only have we had to ask that
the time for turning in our articles
be extended for thirty days, but that
we have only about enough money to
pay for the wool for one half the
articles required. And these articles
are only to keep our brave boys from
suffering from the cold when they are
crouched in the damp trenches.
Besides this, we are supposed to
furnish hospital supplies to care for
the sick and wounded. Some of these
we have made and sent, but the num-
Der is pitifully small compared to
what it should be.
So, all you citizens Of Mile Laos
county, we beg of you to awake: to
your country's need. Rally to the sup
port of the Red Cross. Turn in your
dollars for memberships, subscribe
literally to the Red Cross treasury
and you women and girls turn out /tc
your local work rooms to sew and knit
for our lads who are on the way tc
or are already at the front.

Instructions have been issued for the
construction of rifle ranges, and when
these are in readiness practice shoot

Sergt. David Umbehocker has been
appointed company fire marshal.
There is talk that street railway
will be built to connect Deming and

their post in a military manner, how
ever. At the border last year almost
every time G went on guard rain

The officers Of the law permitted the
meeting to proceed until the notorious
Emme Of ST. Paul, commenced, in his
speech, to make seditious utterances.
He was Immediately arrested and COM
PEELED to sign an affidavit declaring
his loyalty to the governmental and
promising to refrain from further
anarchistic remarks. He asked to be
permitted to continue the meeting if
he reversed his tactics and this was
granted. Thereupon the traitorous

but it was altogether of a different

LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial leg, Invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After. Amputation.

A Danish doctor at a hospital in
Paris has invented a cardboard leg
which enables Che wearer to go about
without crutches two days after his
limb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
Of cardboard about three-siXteenth Of
an inch thick, sad bandages soaked in
a starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked in
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandages.
The principle Is that Of an egg In a
cup, and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer-
else, which 1t is usually impossible to
obtain at this phase Of his GONZALES
cence; also he has to suffer none Of
the inconvenience of crutches, a stick
sufficing for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
a year, by which time a permanent
artificial limb Is ready to be fitted.

and only one trip in each direction was
necessary. Where more trips of the
drag were required the rate was, Of
course, correspondlngly diminished.
In this way county teams with driv-
erS cost from $3.50 to S. per working
day of from s to 10 hours, and the
cost per mile for dragging a road In
one trip showed q corresponding varia-
ton. The number of draggings neces-
sary per year varied over wide range
and depended on the length of time
the road had been constructed and the
character Of the material composing
the road.
The average cost per mile Of drag
ging an earth road miles long in
Alexandria county, Virginia, during
1911 and 1912 was $1.25 for each drag
ging, which included an average of
three round trips, and the total number
of draggings necessary to maintain the
road in good condition was "a per year,
making the average cost for dragging
$50 per mile per year. This road was
maintained as an experiment by the
office Of public roads and rural en-
cheering.

C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Glve me small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Sf this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv
