ENROLL DOGS AND
CATS IN RED CROSS
Montclair, N. j., Has Many
Crosses on Red Cross Flags
Standing for Pets

The zeal that is shown In Joining the Red
Cross during the present drive for member
shin is remarkable Some one suggested that
each person having a star on a service nag
should Join for the member Of the family who
Is in the service. Now it seems that the
proper thing to do Is to register pets In the
list of membership and many OF the small
crosses on the Red Cross service flags may
possibly stand for Fido or Dicliy or the big
maltese. Residents of 'Montclair. n. j., have
started enrolling their dogs cats. canaries
and other pets in the Red Cross. One parrot
has had a 81 membership paid for him.
More than $50 workers are engaged in the
house-to -house canvass. Boys were stationed
along Bloomfield avenue yesterday handing
out Red Cross flags TO sutomobilists, with the
result that a flag hutters from almost every
vehicle on the thoroughfare

Edmore, that enterprising and pro-
gressive little city in the northeastern
corner of the county, has again de-
monstrated that it can be counted on
to hold up its end in any movement
that has real merit. When it had been
decided that the soldier boys would
have a gala day Sunday, committees
were sent to the various towns in the
neighborhood to sell tickets for the ex-
ercises. The boys who made Edmore
were given the "glad hand" by every
body and when an accounting was
made it was found that the citizens of
Edmore had turned in S85 towards the
success of the boys undertaking.

One hundred and thirty horses were
brot to Minot, Kenmare, Carpio, DON

burn and Deering, to be inspected by
DR.. E. ]. Walsh for government buy
ers. The inspection was not a sue
cess for not more than Is per cent of
these horses will meet the require
ments Of the government, consequent
ly they will not take trouble to look
them over. The farmers evidently do
not care to part with their horses,
which is a good thing, for they will be
worth considerable more money next
spring than they are now. The gov
eminent is paying only from $40 to
$3.50 for the best horses, which will be
worth 5000 to tho farmers next spring.

made by Senator LaFollette, Gronna,
or any other pacifst against sending
our rtoops to a foreign land to fight
our country's enemies. 1t is o an
OK of a different color, one whom the

Considerable damage has been done
to the military grove from forest fires,
which seem to spring up anew nearly
every day. The soldier boys have
been compelled to fight fire every day
or two, and it does not seem to die
out, but springs up nearly every day,
and the outlook is that it will not be
thoroughly extinguished until we get
a good rain.

the Chautauqua grounds yesterday to
fight the fire which is burning on the
military grounds, and which has
threatened the whole Chautauqua
grounds. Much damage has already
been done and yet the fire is not I'M

a mystery, but it is thought to have
been caused by some one carelessly
throwing down a lighted match.

Hudson Maxim of the Maxim works


Hudson Maxim of the Maxim works
says n single Maxim automatic ma
chine gun will fire ten times while
Grandfather's clock ticks once-six
hundred shots a minute. A man with
a machine gun could kill a regiment
of men in just a little over one min
ute. Mr.. Maxim claims the quick
firing gun is an implement of mercy.
He says the more you introduce long
range into war, the farther and farth-
er apart they fight. In the present
struggle if they had fought with the
old weapons the war would not have
lasted six months.

Some people that are claiming they
would not be opposed to being called
for military service if there was an
invasion Of this country, would make
the excuse that they wanted to wait
until Ramsey county was invaded, if
an army of invasion was on the north
ern line of North Dakota. And when
the army reached the county line, they
would want to wait until it reached
the township line, and then until it
reached their home, and then they
would crawl under the bed.

BUY AND OWN
YOUR FARM HOME.

1OOfk TANM aOME
I have an attractive, new plan by
which the real farmer who wishes to
own his own farm and home can buy
an improved or unimproved farm at
the right price and on easy pay
ments at a low rate of interest. I
own improved and unimproved farms
of large Or small acreage, all located
from n to ten miles of market. If
you r figuring on buying a farm,
let me explain my plan. The pur-
chase price is paid off in easy pay
ments and can be made off of the land.
The land is in the famous Devils Lake
Region of North Dakota. Write me
for plan and prices.

Pivates, $50; First Class privates,
$33; Corporal, $36; Sergeant, $38;

addition to clothing. medical atten-
