FOR RED CROSS WORKERS.

Red Cross workers of the local or.
ganization are planning an early CAM
paign of its active workers and ask
the papers to aid by means of giving
publicity to the directions to be fol-
lowed in making different articles of
needle work that it will provide under
the Red Cross movement for the use
in hospital work among American SOL
diers at the front in France. The two
items below have been offered for
publication this week:
Comfort Pillows-To be made Of
either old or new materials. Light
colored or dark. Use firm pieces for
body of pillow and light weight for
slips. Stork cloth is very useful for
these pillows. When possible make
two slips for each pillow and pin to it.
Do not make less than inches or
more than "a in any dimension. Pre-
ferable lOx15 inches. For hospital
trains 16x16 is very useful. It might
be added that the pillows may be made
almost any medium size, those of too
large dimensions being bunglesome
and those too small not very useful.
For Filling-Old muslin or lace
curtains, cotton dresses, aprons, cur
tains, chi)dren's dresses, night shirts.
and gowns of cotton or outing flannel,
muslin or knitted underwear, except
mems heavy pieces, old silk petit
coats, skirts, blouses, coat Innings,
ribbons, all pieces of new goods, ex-
cept coarse or wiry woolens, silk and
cotton hosiery, old bed linen and table
linen. All seams and ridges and
heavy darned places must be cut out.
Avoid reds. Twist goods and snip in
uneven pieces and not too email.
Stuff pillows we'll, but not too hard.
Allow for shaking up.

.LAkGDON IS ORGANIZING
co. F. NATIONAL GUARD
Young Men of Langdon and Other
County Towns Form Company
in Second Regiment

Monday evening mass meeting of
Langdon townspeople was held in the
court room at the Court House when
the matter was placed before a repre-
sentative gathering of business men
and Langdon residents generally of
our responding call for the organiza.
tion of a second regiment of the
North Dakota National Guard.
Langdon has been awaiting with
expectancy this opportunity and when
The telegram came from Bismarck on
Saturday forenoon that Governor Fra
zier had authorized the issuing of the
call our townspeople lost no time in
getting definite assurance that Lang
don would be given place among the
towns assigned the formation of
company.
Governor Frazier's order requires
that response be made within ten
days of the enlistment of company
and it is self-apparent that Langdon
will be one of the first towns to re.
port the enlistment of a full company
and be ready to entrain for such point
as may be assigned as the regimental
training quarters
Word was sent to all neighboring
towns over the county of what was
being undertaken and urging cooper.
alton by enlistment of all young men
who would prefer to enter their coun-
try's service in company organized
in Cavalier county. and which would
form unit Of North Dakota regi-
ment. The opportunities that this
would offer to residents here who have
registered for the darft is some-
thing that can be appreciated, espec.
tally after they leave for the front
and have left home and friends behind.
Next Tuesday, the tenth day of July
is the time limit in which Langdon
and the patriotic people of the sur.
rounding community have an opportu-
nifty to respond to the call. The short
ness of the time demands action with
out the slightest delay. Monday
nights meeting leaves little doubt
that Langdon will be ready within
the time limit of a week with its re-
