GREATEST RED
CROSS WORK
RECONSTRUCTION

''The Red Cross is founded funda-
mentally for the care and comfort of
soldiers, but we are not fighting this
war alone for the direct efficiency of
battle. We are fighting here for in
fnitely greater detectives. There is
no support that can be given to the
American ideal, to the American OBJ
jective of this war, and greater than a
proper organization of that side of our
civilization which we believe is today
imperiled."
owe are fighting against an enemy
who had become dominated with a phi
losophy with an idea for which there
is no room in this world with us.
Germany is a nation obsessed with the
single idea that survival of the strong
warrants any action, demands any
submergence of the Individual to the
state, which justifes their mastery of
the world"
"Our contention of civilization lies

existence by the care of the helpless.
The survival of the strong, the develop
ment of the individual, must be tenn
pered, or else we return two thousands
years in our civilization. While the
Red Cross devotes itself to the
strengthening of the strong, to the
support of the soldier, it is duty of
the Red Cross to illume that part Of A
merican character and American ideal
which stands for the care of the help
less"
''Let US congregate the strength of
the whole nation into the Red Cross,
in order that it might undertake this,
possibly the greatest, work which we
have yet to perform, and that it help
to bind the wounds of France!
''The way to assist in the work the
Red Cross will do is to contribute at
once to the $1O0,O00,0OO war fund"

FRESH EGGS
One of the Nations Needs.

The story of fresh egg is a story
of profit. The story of the bad egg
tells how Wisconsin farmers lost 500,
900 last year from careless handling.
President Wilson says that with our
food reserves way below normal it is.
our patriotic duty to save and prevent
waste. Some of US can by being more
careful improve the quality of our
eggs-one way Of preventing waste
and we will save our share of that
100000.
Now it is not such a hard job to
market our eggs so that we get the
best prices and so that none of the
eggs spoil. One of Wisconsin's best
poultry raisesr offers these simple pre-
cautions for improving the egg crop.
He suggests:

Gave Himself Away.

A young married woman in New
York had her diamond engagement
ring stolen while she was making
change for the driver of a delivery
wagon. Discovering her loss, she
sought out the man, accompanied by
the police. He was searched, and the
ring was not found. He suddenly be-
gan whistling the tune of the popular
song about rings on the fingers and
bells on the toes. It suggested that
his feet ought to be searched, and the
suggestion proved fruitful, for the
ring was found encircling one Of his
toes.

There is an old story about a ship
captain who had a medicine chest. A
sailor was sick and he found that No.

edy, but alas! the bottle of No. At
was empty, so he took equal parts of
No. 40, which was strychnine, and
No. Z, which was carbolic acid, and
added them together and made No. At
and the sailor died
The application of this old story Is
that many q feeder will think that IL

is good, whole lot will be better.
And, like the man who put the green
spectacles on the horse and fed him
