hour of 3 p. IN. there will be a
meeting to complete the organlza-
ton of branch society here. All
women of Benson and vicinity are
urged to be present and Join the

Ira J. Profhtt, younger brother
of Mr.. John 7. Profltt, has been

ing the past week, but went to
Tucson a day or two ago. He IS
a student of aviation and expects
to take the examination for mill
tarv aviator at the San Diego mil
itarv aviation school. After enroll
ment in the government service
Young Mr.. Profitt, who is but p
wears of age, stands good chance
of being sent to the military front

Meeting of Red Cross
Next Wednesday
"YOur American Red Cross
Needs You" the Slogan
(Cosnmunicated)

DO YOU know that as an Amer1-
can you have the right to become a
member of the Red Cross? Do you
know that at this time it is not
only your privilege but your duty
to ioin the Red Cross That by
the payment of small annual dues,
and little unse1fsh service you
can support your government IN its
humanitarian work?
Your help is needed now. To
support its field and base hospitals,
its doctors and nurses, and to pro-
vide the necessities of military and
civilian relief, calls for at least one
million members. America can do
what other nations have done.
An inspiring record! The Amer
ican Red Cross is chartered by
Congress. It is the only volunteer
agency for relief commissioned by
the Government in the case of war
or overwhelming disaster
" The President of the United
States is president of the society.
"The Red Cross reports to Con-
gress; its accounts are audited by
the War Department all that 1t
does is open to public scrutiny.
" No other agency provides SO
practical an opportunity for helping
humanity in the times of great cri-
ses, when the need is urgent. and
the measures for relief must be
prompt and adequate.
The above is from a circular sent
cut by the American Red Cross
Society. In almost every town in
the United States the society is or
ganizing it's chapters and branches.
It is against the policy of the cen
trail committee to form new chap
ters in the smaller towns, but the
branches are subordinate parts of a
chapter. They have their own Off
GERS and such independence as the
chapter may give them within the
regulations established by the cen

Attended Bankers Meetings

Mr.. A. c.. Smith, president Of
the Bank of Benson, attended a
meeting last Saturday at Phoenix
of a number of the state banks OF
Arizona, one of the main topics for
consideration being the handling of
the new Liberty Loan" govern

chairman of the meeting.
Plans were made for full partlc1-
patton of the various state banks III
Arizona in the distribution of the
Liberty bonds. Every banker pres
ent pledged himself to subscribe on
the part of his bank for as large an
amount of these bonds as possible,
and to use ali efforts to induce in
dividuals of each locality to make
personal subscriptions.
Mr.. Smith was one of three del

Plant corn as the most effective
way eff meeting the threatened
wheat shortage, - urges the depart
partment of agriculture ain an APP
peal to the farmers of the United
States. Scarcity of other grains,
says the statement; will compel
more general recognition of the
value of corn as human food.
Wider use of corn meal in the diet
is strongly recommended as the
best available substitute for wheat
flour.
The department called attention
to the fact that the normal produc-
ton of corn in this country is three
or four times greater than wheat,
but that only about five or ten per
cent, or 200, 100000 bushels year
has been used for human food.
