on Nov. 1st. It is her duty to recruit
the number of nurses in the division
so that the disgrace of failure to re-
spond to national call may be aver
ted. Her task is even more difficult
than that of an army recruiting of
ficer. Men in all walks of life can be
made into soldiers in few months.
1t takes years of training to develop.
a Red Cross nurse.
However, there are hundreds Of
nurses in the division who could be-
come Red Cross nurses upon enroll
ment. Miss Barber will concentrate
her efforts in obtaining recruits from
these nurses. Young women, without
previous training, she urges to enter
the training service so that they may
be fitted to respond to later call
from the government. Other women,
who are beyond the age limits set for
Red Cross nurses or who are married
and therefore cannot actively join the
Red Cross corps, Miss Barber urges
to take training in home nursing that
they may fill the places of private
nurses who are eligible for Red Cross
work.

RED CROSS NURSES NEEDED.
Single Call Would Exhaust All Nurses
Available for Service-More
Must Enroll.

Miss Edith A. Barber, representa-
tive of the Nursing Bureau at Wash
ington, has recently joined the staff
of the Northern Division. Miss
Barber will have charge of the enroll
ment of Red Cross nurses and the
appointment of instructors and exam
liners and the conduct of classes in
Elementary Hygine and Home Care
of the Sick and in Home Dietetics.
Need of more Red Cross nurses
throughout the division is imperative,
declares Miss Barber.
If general call for Red Cross nur-
ses should be issued throughout the
division less than four hundred could
respond, Miss Barber says. If a
second call should follow, and the con-
tinuation of the war for another year
would make the second call probable,
there would be more to respond.
Miss Barber became director of the
nurses department for the Red Cross

RURAL CARRIER EXAMINATION.

The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an exami-
nation for the County of Stearns, Min
nesota, to be held at Paynesville and
Saint Cloud at a. M, and Sauk Cen
tire at 2:30 p. m, on Jan. II, 1918,
to fill the position of rural carrier at
Paynesville, Mimi, and vacancies that
may later occur on rural routes from
other post Offices in the above men,
toned county. The examination will
be open only to male citizens who are
actually domiciled in the territory of
a post office in the county and who
meet the other requirements set
forth in Form No. 1877. This form
and application blanks may be obtain
ed from the office mentioned above or
from the United States Civil Service
Commission at Washington, D. C. Ap-
plications should be forwarded to the
Commission at Washington at the
earliest practicable date.

CHILDREN DID GOOD WORK.

At the request of the National Anti
tuberculosis Association the children
Of the Sauk Centre Public Schools
have taken up the campaign
against the White Plague. It has
been found that more knowledge has
been spread concerning the dangers of
consumption through the medium of
the schools than in any other way.
Last Monday short talk on tuber-
culosis, it's effects on children and the
home, its contagiousness, and the need
for early and proper treatment, etc.,
was given in each grade by the school
nurse. The children were asked to
cooperate in combating the disease
by selling as many Red Cross Xmas
seals as possible. They went to work
The Sauk Centre herald., 1917-12-13

Vice President expressed it, separate
the goats from the Sheep" thereby
enabling every County War Board to
have its own honor roll of loyal Am
ericans.
The pledge is brief and simple, as
follows:
II hereby join the America
First Association, pledge my as
sistance to the Government in
putting down sedition and dis
loyalty and consecrate my service
to the great cause of Democracy"
On signing this pledge, a member
will receive a certificate of member
ship in the America First Association,
numbered and signed by the President
and Secretary, also an emblem of
membership in the shape Of button
specially designed that will be badge
OF honor during the war, and will
surely prove of great meaning and
value as an heirloom to coming gen.
erations. All persons have joined or
may later join any other recognized
loyalty organization will automatical-
ly become members of the America
First Association and be given credit
for such membership fees as have al
ready been paid in such other So
cieties. The proceeds from member
ship fees will go into the Treasury of
the Individual County War Boards to
defray necessary expenses of patriotic
speakers, rental of halls, advertising,
buttons, distribution Of loyalty liter
ature, etc.
1t was clearly defined at last Sun
days meeting that the America First
Association shall not duplicate or con-
hict with the work or campaign of
any other patriotic or war organiza-
tion, but shall be great and
thoroughly organized mobile body of
real Americans ready to throw itself
into the fray at any place and at any
time to back up any worthy loyalty
and patriotic movement such as the
Liberty Loan, the Red Cross, the Y
M. c. A. or care for returned wounded
or convalescent soldiers and sailors.
We must be friends. The paramount
Importance of the part that America
is to take in the worlds night of
tragedy dictates that this is no time
to engender hatred or prejudice, or
for patrisanship or self-seeking. The
sooner the tremendous forces of Am
The Sauk Centre herald., 1917-12-13

canism through precinct or school dis
trict meetings direct to every man,
woman and child in the state. Much
of the burden will rest upon local
speakers, but the officers Of the Am
erica First Association already have
arranged for a speakers bureau to
assist County War Boards in every
way possible. Many of Minnesota's
most eloquent and patrioticc speakers
both in the country and city already
have volunteered their services for all
or part of the time for the great two
weeks campaign.
Pro-German propaganda will be
fought wherever it shows it's head
and in whatever guise. It was con-
dition brought about by enemy propa-
gandists' efforts and not a theory
that brought the America First As
sociation into existence. The very es-
sence of the movement might be
translated into the words of Otto H.
Kahn Of New York, that splendid
specimen Of an American citizen born
in Germany, of German parentage, as
he expressed it in his magnificent
address at the recent Northwest 10y
atty Meetings.:
"The spirit Of Prussianism and
the spirit of Americanism cannot
live in the same world. One or
the other must conquer"
It is to the end that the spirit of
Americanism shall conquer that the
America First Association is conse-
Grated, an dto which it appeals to
every citizen of Minnesota to conse-
crate himself or herself regardless of
politics, creed, color, occupation,
length of residence or place Of birth.
That this is the spirit and acknowl-
edged object of the association was
forcibly and frequently brought out by
the representatives Of the counties at
Sundays meeting in St. Paul.
While arrangements for the Am
erica First campaign in each county
are left in the hands of the County
War Boards to be worked out as best
may accord with local conditions, it
was decided that membership fee of
so cents be uniformly made through
out the state, and that all men and
women, as well as children above
fifteen years of age, be asked to sign
a pledge that will as one County

america FIRST" will be more
than an empty slogan in Minnesota
ere many weeks.
It will be living, bIeathing, in
spring entity-symbol Of the mutual
and militant movement represented
by the America First Association.
That this may be positively pre-
6cted was emphasized most substan-
TALLY at the enthusiastic meeting of
the officers and county vice presidents
of the newly organized association at
the Saint Paul Hotel, st. Faul. Nearly
every county in the state was repre-
sented, and messages from several
others brought earnest promise Of
hearty cooperation in the movement
to bring the Governments case
squarely before every inhabitant of
the state.
Already the "America First" move
ment promises better and more thor
ough results than at first dreamed of
by the loyal and patriotic men with
whom the idea originated and whose
movement met with such instant and
universal support by the citizenry of
the great North Star State. The
campaign Of education, one of the
main objects of which is to place on
record every man, woman and child
over fifteen years of age in the state
as either for or against the Govern
ment-American or anti-American-
will start throughout the state on
December 10th continuing for two
weeks. During this time it will be

Engine Smashes Bridge.
Two Men More or Less Injured
In Fall.

Last Thursday afternoon, while NOV
ing threshing outfit from Mr.. John S.
Longs farm, the large traction engine
drawing the thresher crashed through a
small bridge over a ravine close to Longs
mill. The front wheels of the engine
passed over the bridge, but the great
weight on the rear axle caused the bridge
to give away. The engine dropped about
eight feet to the ground, carrying with
it four men who were with the outfit.
Mr.. Amos Eyler, of Jimtown, and Mr..
Harvey Pittenger, of near Logs, were
considerably hurt, Eyler being hurt about
the body and Pittenger receiving several
scalp wounds. DR.. M. A. Birely, OF
Thurmont, was called to the Pittenger
home and dressed the young mans head.
Mr.. Pittenger is one of the number of
young men called to 60 to Camp Meade
this week. Mr.. Eyler was unable to use
his arm Saturday night.
When the engine went down steam
pipe was broken. but luckily the escap-
ing steam did not reach the men. The
door to the fire box remained closed and
prevented fire from rolling back. The
engine was left in the ravine until Mon
day when Mr.. w. l.. H. Zentz, of Thur
mont, succeeded in raising it to the road.

Canning Progresses.
APPLES Now In Demand at Local

The Pen-Mar Cannery operated at this
place by the Messrs Shaver is still busy
and indications are that work will con-
tinue for some weeks.
The tomato crop was practically a failure
in this vicinity owing to the continued
wet weather, hence the tomato caused
no rush of work.
While great deal of corn was brought
to the factory, great deal more could
have been cared for and packed.
Peaches came from all orchards in this
vicinity and also from orchards about
Foxville and Deerfeld, and made consi-

to come in as the late varieties ripen.
Mr.. Shaver is now receiving apples
thousands of bushels of them, and is in
the market for all he can get. Apples
that drop from the trees are bought just
as we'll as those picked from the trees.
Of course the price varies. The cannery
here makes market for much fruit that
the farmer was heretofore unable to get
rid of, his defective peaches being left
on the ground to rot, and his fallen apples
if not made into cider. also rotted. If
you have apples to sell see Shaver, he
wants apples.
