For that reason we feel at liberty
to ask your assistance in one Of the
difficulties Of organization. It is one
which, once past, will not arise a.
gain, and the request is made with
a full appreciation Of the many calls
you have already met in connection
with the preparation of the nation
for war. 3.. )
While the Government furnishes
Everything a soldier actually needs
for his welfare, it does not furnish
certain articles about the barracks
which make him more comfortable,
nor such things as magazines, pa
pers, monographs, checkers, boxing
gloves, baseball and football outfits
and all sorts of things which give
the men, clean manly amusement.
Just now the Government allows
4l.97 cents per day to feed each SOL
dier. While this is sufficient to give
him all the wholesome food neces-
sary to keep him in good condition
physically, it will not provide any
extras such as ice cream, cakes, jam,
butter, etc.
In old established regimetns, such
things are bought from a company
fund. A Company builds up such
fund from the operation of a barber
shop, from it's share of the profit
of the Regimental Exchange (Can-
teen) or receipts of the Regimental
Band and other sources. Our Regi-
ment, however, has just been organ
lied. Not only does it lack the
equipment accumulated by the older
ones but also at present it is with
out the sources of income from
which it may be provided. Later the
funds will get money through the
regular channels but to get them
started, we can only call on the peo-
pie back home. The care and use
of these funds are provided for by
Army Regulations and the Company
Commanders are responsible for
them. They are audited monthly by
the Company Council, quarterly and
annually by officers of Higher Com
mand and Inspectors.
We have asked one man in each of
the counties named to receive dona-
tions from residents Of that Count7.
Checks should, be made payable to
"Local Treasurer, Company Funds
Committee, 352nd Infantry" and
sent to the local treasurer who for

Camp Dodge, Iowa.

September 26, 1917.
10 Friends Of the Regiment:
The 352d Infantry, National Army,
is made up entirely of men called to
the colors from northern Minnesota
and eastern North Dakota; more
specifically, from the following coun-
ties:
Cook, Lake, St. Louis, Carlton,
Pine, Koochiching, 1tasca, Aitkin,
Kanabec, Crow Wing, Cass, Minn.,
Anoka, sherbourne, Morrison,
Beltrami, Pope, Douglas, Otter Tail,
Stearns, Todd, Wadena, Hubbard,
Becker Mahnomen, Clear Water,
Polk, Red Lake, Pennington, Mar
shall Grant, Wilkin, Clay, Norman,
kittison, Roseau, Cavalier, Pembina,
Walsh, Nelson, Grand Forks, Griggs,
Steele, Trail, Barnes, Cass, N. D.,
Ransom, Richland, Sargent, Dickey,
Mcintosh, Stevens, Traverse.
1t is apparent therefore that no
other unit will so truly represent
that section in the present world
war as will this Regiment, uniform
" chosen from the population of
that area. Although many other
men from there are serving their
country, they are scattered through
out organizations Of the Regular Ar
my, National Guard, Marine Corps,
and Navy. IN localizing the regi-
ments Of the National Army, the
Government has made it possible for
friends to be together and has given

70 RAISE FUNDS FOR I'D j.
i. BOYS At CAMP DODaE
9. F. Lundquist of the Cook County
+, State Bank; Named Is Treasurer
!. =. - for Cook County. .z

will be remembered by all the people
Of Grand Marais and Cook county as
one of the greatest days in the his
tory of the county. On that day you
assembled in greater numbers than
at any previous time, to say farewell
to the boys of the first contingent
Of the drafted army from the coun-
ty. You assembled that day for the
purpose Of demonstrating to those
boys your fidelity to them, to con-
vince each and every one of them
that you were with them even tho
you were not permitted to go with
them in the trenches. Those boys,
the best that we could give to our
country remembers those friendly
and fearful good-byes and wen-wish-
es, they rely on you to remember
that they are fighting for you, your
country, your homes and your liber-
ty. Do not forget the feelings that
dominated you on that eventful day,
stand back of them as truly as you
did then. Be willing to make good
the promises made to yourself then.
The time has now come when those
promises can be fulfilled, and when
you are able to rally to their sup
port.
The circular letter received from
Colonel Charles E. Hawkins of the
;352d Infantry, Camp Dodge, and pub
lished below is self-explanatory, and
it is my hope that every man, wo-
man and child in the county will
give freely and divide if necessary
some Of the luxuries that we enjoy
with them. The funds so subscribed
are safe-guarded by proper inspec-
tion and frequent auditing, and all
who contribute can be certain that
the: funds are properly used. Let US
then rise to the occasion, let US all
be as generous as circumstances per-
nit, let us be-: mindful at all times
that we are denying ourselves none
OF the necessities and very few of
the comforts and luxuries of life
and we should not expect these boys
to forfeit too many Of the things
which we continue to enjoy.
In order to insure the best re-
suits in the shortest time the un-
dersigned has appointed the follow
ing to make a thorough canvass in
their respective territories, and it
is my hope that each will endeavor
TO see as many as is possible and
put in every effort to give all an op-
portunity to help the boys. The SOL
icitors are appointed are as follows.

Blanche Bally, Village; Mrs. Jack

sen; Mr.. Victor Anderson, Maple

serves, l beg to remain

RED CROSS SEAL CAMPAIGN
TO OPEN november 5th.

The date for beginning the Red
Cross Seal Campaign has been ad-
vanced from November 18th to No.
vember 5th.
DR.. l. ]. Murphy of the Minnesota
Public Health Association, State
Manager, announces the following
messages just received:
"The American Red Cross valves
the restriction in the contract that
no agent put seals on sale before
November 5th.
1--WE understand that mail to
reach the soldiers in France before
Christmas must be mailed not later
than November 18th and preferably
at an earlier date. The advantage of
allowing an early sale of Red Cross
Seals by local campaign managers
for packages going to our soldier
is obvious. Accordingly the Ameri-
can Red Cross valves the restriction
in the contract which made Novem-
Der 18th the opening day, providing
Red Cross Seals be not placed on
sale before November 5th.
Continuing DR.. Murphy said: "Red
Cross Seal supplies have already
been sent to the towns where cam
paign managers volunteered early.
Any community that is not ready to
start it's campaign on the opening
day, November 5th, may be consid-
cred lacking in patriotism.
"This year more than ever the
American Red Cross expects to see
rousing campaigns in every commun-
ity of each Of the states. The fund
raised is to be devoted for the most
part to tuberculosis war problems;
the Red Cross Seal Campaign is the
only Red Cross activity devoted to
preventive and educational work;
then too nearly all the money contri-
buted is spent in the community
where it is raised" = + +. >.

COTTON

New Orleans. October 12.-Prices ad- vanced moderately in the cotton mar ket here last week, buying being in- spired by the cold weather over the belt and the continued strength of the spot situation. At the highest levels prices were GO to 95 points over the preceding weeks final quotations but reaction set in toward the end ana the close showed net gains of but 3 to 65 points.
 Frost was reported over large area of the belt and private reports made it plain that much crop damage had resulted, which led to claims by bulls of very small yield forsthe sea- son.

IRON AND STEEL

New York. October 2l.-Steel mills arc receiving liberal specifications and some additional orders for steel forms direct from the government and from manu- lecturers of war munitions, but strictly commercial buying is confined within narrow limits, awaiting the fixing ot prices for finished products other than bars, plates and shapes. It is hoped to avoid the necessity of holding further formal conferences at Washington, but the war industries board, through rep resentative, will sanction the prices agreed to by manufacturers before ths new schedules become effective.
 The orders for cars and locomotives for Russia and cars for the United States governments road in France which are being distributed, call for 625,000 tons of steel. Equipment orders for domestic roads, now under negotia tion. will require 125000 tons and pend ing orders to be distributed by ship builders amount to over 100000 tons. Man ufacturers of ordnance, shells. gun mech anisms, airplane engines and other war munitions are constantly placing orders for forgings, bars, plates and shapes, specialties and machine toois, calling for the expenditure of many millions of dol idTS.

offerings of spots were being absorbed at constantly rising figures and the holding movement among farmers was growing.
 This week the market will be chief Iy concerned with the census bureau report on ginning to October 1T, due Thursday. Bullish claims are that 1t will be highly unfavorable, showing q smaller output for the season thus far than to the same time either last year or the year before. Should buIlish ex- pectations be realized, small crop ideas will be greatly strengthened as the argument is being made that high prices should draw the cotton from the fields to the ginneries if it is there to be drawn. Private forecasts of tho amount gfnned to October Y thus far are around $500, 900 bales, which com pare with 7,303,1S3 to the same time last year, and 5,70S,730 to the same time two years age. s.--.-1 4rs .s..,.ss-ss

STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, october 21.-Liquidation in the stock market came to sudden halt last week after prices had suf- fered almost steady depreciation for two months or more. The recovery had its origin in certain well defined de- velopments, chief among which were the strides made in the second liberty loan campaign and the vastly improved industrial outlook.
 The vigorous rebound iii war shares was the most noteworthy feature, ex- tending from 10 to 20 points, Awards of further large contracts by the Washington government under highly favorable financial conditions were an impeliing factor in that quarter.
 Steels and allied issues also owed much of their recovery to a cessation of the pessinism that attended recent offerings of those stocks. Conditions in the steel industry, as disclosed oy the recent report of the Republic Iron and Steel company, point to the con tinuance of unexampled prosperity de- spite heavy federal inlposts.
 Rails made less response than other stable securities to the favorable news of the week. but rallied to 5 points from recent minimums No definite results are expected from the hearing for higher rates before the interstate commerce commission for several weeks at least. but the attitude or state and local commissions towards the transportation companies IS re- garded as far more encouraging.
 The only clear reflection of events abroad was seen in the fresh collapse of Russian exchange, that movement accompanying the Russian reversal in the Baltic. Further commercial cred it's to London and Paris are likely to be acted on in the near future.
 Domestic conditions were mainly in the direction of greater ease, but IT. nancial institutions continue their scrutiny of collateral.
