SCHOOLS ARE WORKING
TO AID THE RED CROSS
Many Volunteer Groups Have Been
Formed and First-Aid Class
Organized.

The Washington schools are earnest
ly at work for the support of the Red
Cross.
In response to a request from Henry
B. F. Mcfarland. chairman of the
finance committee of the District chap
ter. which is raising a second one
hundred thousand-dollar installment of
a great patriots fund, the attention of
all teachers and pupils was called to
this collection.
Under the leadership of Ernest L.
Thurston, superintendent of the public
mustered to many activities for the
District chapter of the Red Cross Mr..
Thurston has had several conferences
with school officers and principals upon
a broad program of school co-opera-
ton. Giving a summary of what is
being done or in prospect, Mr.. Thurs
ton says:
II find that in many ways both pu-
pills and teachers are all actively en-
gagged in Red Cross work. There are
the high schools and in the higher
grades organized for hrst-aid instruc-
tion, and l believe this movement will
spread actively and effectively during
the next few weeks. I have asked the
principals and officers to give me a
memorandum a once of all the phases
OF the Red Cross work in which their
teachers and pupils are now engaged
or for which the buildings are being
used.
To Ask for List of Names.
II find that the officers believe that
the principals generally will cooperate
in the first-aid plan, by which thew are
to volunteer their services to receive
the names of people desiring first-aid
instruction In the neighborhood of
their schools. I will send out a notice
requesting them to list these names.
Il have talked with Miss Jacobs. nv
director of domestic science. in rela-
tion to second plan for the giving of
courses in dietetics to women. Miss
Jacobs assures me that her domestic
science teachers will be ready to vol
unteer their services in SO far as pos
sible to help in this work Miss Jacobs
has also in mind the working out of
classes for theoinstruction Of house,
keepers In the best use of their In
comes SO far as the preparation of food
stances and coming stress
believe that the third plan we have
under consideration for first aid in
struction Of children in the public
SSHooiS VIII develop naturally through
the formation of volunteer groups as
previously mentioned during stated
hours in the high schools or immc-
diately after school. The opinion Of
my officers is that this instruction SO
far as it is at all general should not go
below the seventh grade at this time.
Il find a very general interest ex-
pressed relative to a fourth plan for
collection of linen. turkish toweling.
etc. and for the making of articles. but
q foe inc hot .laR
ton is necessary as to just what is
desired. and just how the work should
be handled. l am very sure that we
can cooperate effectively, and hope to
arrange conference with Red Cross
officials soon to go over the entire pro-
gram of school cooperation, and we
will then make plans to be put into eff
feet as the Red Cross officials DESIRE"

and today TO TX the war price Of steel.
Their conferences we're separate
but the connection was complete.
The president learned from Secretary.

Representing the steel industry be

Decision Is Reached.
It was stated that decision had
been reached TO FIX price that would
insure maximum production of steel
throughout the war period. with due
consideration for the prevailing high
prices of labor and the prospect that
prices of labor together with prices
Of raw material would increase in
the closing months Of this wear. and
with the annual meetings of the labor
organizations next February and
March. when the wage scales may be
readjusted.

was hearing from the federal trade
commission on the difficulties in fixing
any maximum price because of the

Ii was argued, however, by the sen

appeared that. as q price had been
fixed for the sale TO the government
and to the public Of copper, there
was no reason why q maximum price
could not be fixed for the sale to the

war purposes This structural steel
is needed ia bridge building in

LOOKING AT IT sQUARELY

Business and agricultural in
terests must come to an apprecia-
tlon OF the fact that all the coun-
try confronts an emergency. The
time to deal with next winters
food riots, next winters propos-
ais for an embargo and other wild
legislation, and next winters de-
mands for higher wages, is now.
1t is popular idea Of late to have
a Survey made of any situation
OF public concern, and it would be
we'll if one were made this spring
OF crop prospects in Steele county
and every other county in the
state. The question of facilitating
production comes down at last to
the situation of each farmer. Does
he need anything required for his
work-seed, horse, an implement
temporary assistance, or even ad-
vice, which community organiza-
ton might provide? There is
much work, we'll enough at anoth-
cr time, which may be subordinat-
ed this year to the production Of
a big crop.
If Chambers Of Commerce,
Bankers Associations, and other
local organizations Of the state and
community will take the situation
in hand in a formative way, they
can dc more to safeguard the pros
perity Of the country than can be
done at this time by any other ef-
fort. With resources exhausted
and the world situation what it
is, there is no danger Of OVERRIDING
production, for the largest posi-
|'ble crop in this country is certain
to bring remunerative prices.
1t must be remembered that i:
the war ends at any time before
the crop Of 1918 is harvested there
will be a great demand from cen
ftral Europe sn the crop Of 1917
and there is not much present hop
that the war will so end.
