THE RED CROSS SOCIETY

In an age charged with being selfish,
sordid, and commercial there has
grown up and developed the greatest
organization for unsefish service the
world has ever seen-the American
Red Cross. The growth of the Red
Cross Society is evidence not to be con-
troverted that the spirit of service is
strong in the hearts of the people OF
to-day. The work of the society
demonstrates that there are thousands
who are willing to donate their, SER
vices to humanity, and the support
given them by voluntary contributions
shows that there are hundreds of
thousands more who are willing to de-
vote a portion of their means to the
alienation of suffering.
= The activities of the Red Cross al
ways have been generously supported
by the American public, but only since
"our own" soldiers began to take a
place in the trenches alongside our
allies has this support become bounti-
full. 1t is the suffering and comfort of
the men from our own neighborhoods'
as well as the physical needs of our
allies for which the Red Cross must
now mobilize. The result-a greater
and more imperative duty now con-
fronts the givers in America.
No appeal to the generosity of the
American people has ever been UNI
answered. Let one part of the world
be visited by some calamity like the
Mount Pelee and Italian earthquake,
China floods, the Johnstown flood, the
San Francisco earthquake or any
greater or lesser calamity, and the re-
Spouse from the nation is immediate
and generous to a degree. The SER
vices of the American Red Cross
Society to both sides in the Boer War
and in other wars was liberal and
sacrificing. Fresher in our minds is
the work the American unit has been
doing in Europe in the last three years,
especially the relief given the Belgian
population.
To meet this new and greatly en-
larged demand-this demand that has
the added force of patriotism and 6
duty we owe our own soldiers-there
has been a campaign to raise 500, 900,
600 for the Red Cross work. The cam
paign has been conducted with vigol
and earnestness that insured success
1t was participated in by all classes o
Americans from the President of the
Nation down to the smallest boy scout
and the women of the Nation were
particularly active.
"Red Cross week" will not be tn,
only time in which one can assist the
work of the society. Every weel
should be Red Cross week with thos,
who are able to contribute to the worl
of this greatest agency of mercy. IT
work is pressing and will continue |
long time. II needs continued supper
and will not appeal in vain to a people
as generous as the American Nation.

NO NEW UNITS
OF NATIONAL GUARD

No new units of the National Guard
will be organized by the war depart
ment. There will not be single COM
pany, battery or troop accepted by the
Washington authorities for this war
from Michigan.
There is ample evidence as to the de-
partments intentions. The adjutant
general has been repeatedly informed
that all that is required of the state is
the recruiting OF the present Nationl
Guard to war strength.
Officers will not be commissioned
from civil life in Michigan or any other
state unless these officers attend the
training camps established by the
government Companies will not be
taken, because men enough are pro-
vided by draft. By the first of Septem-
Der, 625, 900 men will have been called
in. II more are required, they will be
taken by the draft.
So the only way that young men OF
Northwestern Michigan can get into
Federal service sure to be in the COM
pany of their friends. is by enlisting in
the one company which represents this
section-Company |, 33rd Michigan
Infantry, which does not represent any
one community more than it does any
other.
The recruiting officer for the com
pany, who has headquarters in the
armory at East Jordan, but who will
visit every city and village Of the sec
ton, will be glad to explain the service
to prospective recruits.

explained by William Hard, investiga-

joint sessions Of the American Society
OF Mechanical Engineers and the Ma

The chief lesson, Mr.. Hard said,
would be to invest seamen with the con-
troll Of the navy. No civilian, he said,
should be intrusted with so important
a duty. Affairs Of the army and navy
In action should be given into the hands
Of competent" army and navy men,

FLOODS IN TEXAS; SOLDIERS
AID IN SAVING CITIZENS

Preside, Tex, Sept. 3O.-When tenn
porary dikes thrown up to keep the
Rio Grande flood waters out of the bus.
mess section of Preside broke last
night, the entire town was flooded with
water to depth of two feet.
United States cavalrymen stationed
here worked all night with the citizens
to stop the flow of water from the
river and to move the stocks to high
ground. Every available soldier and
civilian has been pressed into service
and have been working in relays to res
cue families in the lowlands and to sal
wage their goods.
No lives have yet been reported lost
in the flood, which is the greatest in
the history of the Big Bent district
But the property loss has already been
heavy.
1t is reported here the big dam at
La Boquilla, on the Conchos river in
Mexico, had broken. The flood waters
are coming down the Conchos and emp.
tying into the Rio Grande.

USE OF BEANS AS HAY

Many fields of pinto beaEs will not
mature because put in too lato or
checked by the dry weather in July.
There are two ways of utilizing such
crops. They should be led, or if there
is not stock to feed them to, plowed
under for a manuring crop. Although,
at the time this is being written, there
have been no killing frosts on the
plains, letters are already coming in
asking for advice regarding the use of
these immature beans. A Baca county
subscriber writes as follows:
"My beans did not come up until
the recent rains. I am afraid that they
will not mature. Can they be used for
hayg Is it safe to feed bean hay when
the vines are heavy with immature
pods?'
Prof. Alvin Kezcr, agronomist Of
Colorado Agricultural college, replies
as follows:
"Beans can be cut and made into
hay. In fact they make a very good
quality of hay. The more partly dew
eloped pods on the vine, the better the
feeding value of the hay. OF course,
if there is very heavy growth of par.
TALLY developed pods, the feed will
be quite rich and should be fed with
discretion, especially when the feeding
starts, measuring out the feed and
gradually working up to full feed. 1t
is not necessary to feed all of the bean
hay rich with partially developed pods
that livestock will eat out of a self
feeder. 1t is better to dole the guam
tity out, feeding with other roughage
such as silage, sorghum hay, Sudan
grass hay, corn fodder, or even straw,
feeding all the other roughages that
the livestock will eat if the supply Of
feed is large enough for that purpose,
and then feeding not over 10 to Is
pounds day of the bean vines rich
with partly developed pods. There is
no serious danger Of injury to the stock
by feeding in quantity, but better re-
suits may be obtained by balancing up
the ration.'
The straw from threshed beans
makes good hay when fed in 'connec
tion with silage or other succulent
feeds.

I. w. w. PLOT TO POISON
WATER AT TT SHERIDAN

Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, Oct. 2.-Current
rumor in camp has it that attempts
have been made to poison the post
water supply. Post officials today re-
fused to discuss the matter, but 1t IL
known that extra sentries were posted
at the intake and at the base Of the
water tower. It is said that !. W. w.
sgitators, sent out here from Chicago
and confined in the guard house, were
at the bottom of the alleged attempt
to pollute the student officers water
supply. Specimens of water have been
taken for analysis, but because Of the
strict guardianship Of the source of sup
ply the post physicians have as yet
found only slight indications Of poison
in the water. 1t is said that several
bottles Of poison were passed to un-
named prisoners, that these prisoners
were intent upon emptying the con-
tents into the lake, but that at the
crucical moment most of them either
succumbed to their consciences or else
lost their courage.
Col. J. A. Ryan, post commandant
could not be reached tonight, but il
is expected that he will give out M
interview on the matter tomorrow.

MILITARY TRAINING AT
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

The Colorado School of Agriculture
school for eighth grade g-adua 'es
conducted by the Colorado Agricultural
college at Fort Collins, vii open ats
term this year on Tu sdav, October g.,
the entrance examinations being held
on Monday, October 8 This school was
cstal ]ished to met the needs Of tho
boys and girls of Colorado, who cannot
ru.sue an education further than high
school. Agriculture, mechanical arts and
domestic science are taught with
special attention to the practical or
vocational side of these subjects. Thus
the young men and women of the state
are provided with a more thorough and
practical training for the actual bust
ness of making a living than was avail
able to them before the school was es-
tablished. Three years are required to
graduate and the term lasts for only
six months, thus providing ample time
for the discharge of home duties, espec-
tally for the boys and girls in the coun.
try where it is inconvenient to leave
home before crops are harvested. Much
interest is being evinced in this school
this year because Of the demand for
trained leaders which the war has cre'
ated. Military training forms a part
Of the work at the school and this
alone is attracting many young men.

STRAW HAS VALUE
Az STOCK FEED

With hay selling from SIS to $50 per
ton, . greater use should be made of
straw in fattening cattle. Where straw
is fed with alfalfa hay to the extent
Of one-third the hay, the straw will
almost replace an equal weight Of alfal-
ia. Oat straw makes a good combina
tioa with corn silage for wintering
breeding stock. A ration Of 1877 pounds
corn silage, 9.6 pounds oat straw, and
3.5 pounds clover hay, put on over
pound a day gain on beef steers at the
Illinois station. Corn silage and straw
are both cheap feeds and should be used
as much as possible when hay is so high
in price. The straw should not form
the entire roughage ration for stock,
but in judicious combinations may be
made to show at least half the value Of
hay.-Chas. I. Bray, Colo. Agricultural
college, Fort. Collins, Colo.

FARMERS MUST SELL WHEAT

In response to an inquiry by The
Record -Stockman, word has been receiv-
ed from the Food Administration Grain
Corporation that the price fixed by the
government on this years wheat crop
is both maximum and minimum and
that the quicker the farmers dispose of
their wheat the better off they will be
as they will get the same price now as
several months from now.
A number of farmers throughout the
country have been showing disposi
tion to hold their wheat expecting a
higher price. In one instance there is
report that the farmer made the state
ment that his wheat would not be sold
for less than $500 per bushel, and that
when the government was willing to
pay that price he would sell it and not
before. government agent called up
on the farmer and, after talking with
him, went to the granary and placed
the government seal upon it and inform
ed the farmer that he would receive the
standard price for his wheat and would
be obliged to ship it to the govern
ment when called upon. In other words,
his wheat was commandecred by the
government.
While mills are permitted to purchase
direct from producers, they are not al
lowed to buy from other dealers but
must place their orders for wheat with
the agent of tire Food Administration
Grain Corporation, who will see that
they are supplied. No miller or dealer
or elevator is permitted to pay in ex-
cess of the fixed price for wheat. Amy
individual who purchases wheat at a
higher price than the government price
will be unable to dispose of it for more
than the government price.
Under these conditions, the farmef
will gain nothing by holding his wheat.
In fact, it is to his advantage to dis
pose of his wheat as quickly as possible
in order to get the advantage of the
shrink and storage cost which will be
upon him until the wheat is sold. As
the instructions to the millers and deal
ers are imperative and absolute, the
farmer who insists on holding his wheat
is only subjecting himself to the dan
ger Of having it commandeered later on
These are the official facts for the in
formation of farmers in the west and
those who are anticipating a change
in prices are simply fooling themselves
The price of flour to the consumer
will also be unchanged. The miller ii
permitted to receive only IS cents pei
hundred pounds profit. As some mil
lers are able to manufacture cheaper
than others, there may be some Sigh
variation in the wholesale price, which
will be determined later, but there will
be probably very little change in th,
flour price for the next year at least.
