Camp Lee, Va, Nov. l6.--The
government provision to assure the
families OF National Army men from

feet this month. and the men OF he
division were Yesterday notified
through their company commanders
that compulsory allotmcnts for their
people would be deducted from ;as

the month. Under the provisions of
the war risk insurance law each man
will be required TO alot a specific
amount monthly. depending on the
size of his family. but in no case
shall il be less than SD.
This has been done TO make Il In
possible that want and distress SHALL

but Il fund has been set aside by tha
from which il will pay
to the families an amount equal to.
that which is allotted to them. This
will bring them monthly amount
Of not less than $50, and it can 20
as high as 500. and perhaps more.
Already the men have slGnll'cd
rhcir intention Of making voluntary
allotments for their families. and
when this is done the government
adds dollar for dollar. The compul-i
sorry allotmcntS apply to "!VeS,!
children and widowed mothers, and
there is 40 question about these bo.
ing made by the men. For sisters,
brothers. fathers. or in the cases of
,ihcr relatives the allotmcnts are
left with the individual soldier.

WILL ASK COUNCIL
To TAKE OVER SLIDE

At meeting of the officials of the
Carnival association, held Saturday
evening, committee consisting Of
A. 4. Warfield, H. E. Reynolds and
Frank T. Beaver was appointed to
appear before the city council
and ask that the city take over the
toboggan erected by the Carnival as
ISOLATION.
It is the plan to have the city con-
troll the toboggan, the same to be
turned over to the city by the asso-
citation. The club will pay for the
replacing of the foot Of the slide for
the winter sports. There is also a
warming house available and it is
the intention to have this brought
to the site Of the slide. Near the
foot of the slide it is planned to have
the skating ring created instead Of
having it at the foot Of Third street
as last winter. Under this plan the
winter sports will be grouped.
1t is also planned to give a dance
after the holidays, similar to the one
last year which was so successful,
the Red Cross to also share in the
proceeds.

RECRUITING OFFICER
URGES RED CROSS AID

Over four hundred of Bel
trami county's young manhood
have entered war service and
it is up to the people Of this
county to continue their sup
port of every movement that
will help and hearten the brave
boys who have gone from our
midst.
The Red Cross organization
is doing a much needed work
in caring for the sick and the
wounded. It is too much to
hope that among the number
who have entered the service,
@s from this county there will .lict''
be some who will need the
ministering care Of the Red
Cross. I earnestly urge every
citizen of the county to join
in furthering in every possible
way an increased membership
in the Red Cross organization.
You fellows who have ex-
pressed that you were unable,
on account of age or physical
disability, to enlist in war
service, have the golden oppor-
tunity to serve your country by
enlisting in the Red Cross
army.

PAID RED CROSS
MEMBERSHIPS TO
RUN FULL TERM

While in some cities in Minnesota
the Red Cross membership drive is
for the renewal of memberships from
New Years to New Years, this will
not be the method employed in Be-
midi, owing to the time various
members have joined the chapter and
owing to the various campaigns for
membership. This is from the Off
cials of the Beltrami county chapter,
Several memberships have been
obtained as recently as two and three
months ago and even more recently
and these are to run for year. They
will not expire on the first Of Jan
uary as is the custom in some chap
ters in large cities.
Several contributed as much as
$40 when they were approached for
memberships and it would not be
fair to such to curtail their member
ship.
The idea of the present drive is
to INCREASE the membership and
the memberships yet to run will do
