Meatless Day Not Observed

1t is evident from the amount of
fresh meat purchased on Monday and
Tuesday, that Tuesday is not being
observed in Norris as a national
meatless day. Is the failure to COM
ply with the food conservation re-
quests by the government the in
ability to appreciate the necessity
for such saving or is it just the lack
Of enough genuine patriotism to re-
frain from satisfying the desire of
the inner man?
One Norris business man uses on
ly one teaspoon of sugar in his cof-
fee. This is saving of 25 pounds
in year in sugar alone he discov-
cred. If 100000 citizens would
do this the result would be a saving
of one quarter of billion pounds of
sugar in year. 1t is not fair for
the restaurants and the hotels to be
the only establishment to observe
the meatless and wheatless days.

At Red Wing, Mimi, a dozen
young men, who have distinguished
themselves as athletes, have offered
to form a Red Cross basket ball
team. They will wear uniforms
furnished by the chapter and have
agreed to turn the receipts from
every game to the Red Cross.
Ortonville, Mimi, held a Red
Cross carnival Saturday. Every
merchant in town donated 10 per
cent of the days receipts to the Red
Cross. Booths we're prepared for the
sale of articles contributed by every
one. The farmers gave produce and
the merchants goods from their
stores. Women of Ortonville furn-
ished lunch for the entire county.
At Sioux Falls, S. D., women of
the local Red Cross chapter used the
human calendar" plan for raising
a Red Cross fund Twelve women
were selected to represent the months
of the year. Fifty-two others re-
presented the weeks. Others were
selected to represent each day of the
week. Every woman giving rs cents
to the fund was counted as an hour

presenting month, week or a day,

Der of hours within a definite time.
The Red Cross institution for the
Northern Division began it's sessions
in Folwell Hall of the University Of
Minnesota this week with Professor
H. J. Todd in charge. One repre-
sentative from 25 different chapters
in the division were enrolled.
The six weeks session of the in
stitute includes 25 hours on lectures
by experts in the Red Cross work.
Intensive training will be given the
chapter representatives in the vari-
Gus branches of Red Cross work. At
the end of the institute those at
tending will return to their chapters
to transmit the instruction given
and a second training camp for
the Red Cross, with representatives
from other chapters will open.
Chain letters, purpOrting to have
been circulated by the Red Cross or
some allied agency, have been report
ed to the Northern Division head
quarters in large numbers. Most of
these letters contain an appeal to
the superstitution of the recipient,
demanding that the chain be con-
tinued upon fear Of disaster that
will fall upon the person breaking
the chain.
Whenever such letters have been
brought to the attention of the divi-
sion heads, their circulation has been
discouraged. The Red Cross stands
sponsor for no such letters-neither
does any bona fde organization al
lied with the Red Cross. There is
so much real work to be done for the
cause that the circulation of these
letters seems frivolous in the ex-
treme. Also the language in some
Of the letters is such as to put any
organization, claimed to be respon-
sible for them, in poor repute with
thinking people.

In bulletin received at the north
ern Division Red Cross headquarters
today is included cabled message
from Major M. P. Murphy, in charge
of the Red Cross commission in
France in which immediate need of
surgical dressings is emphasized.
All possible speed, Major Murphy
declares, must be made by Red
Cross workers in the manufacture of
such dressings and in their trans
pOrtatiOn to the front This parti-
cular work is especially a duty of the
Red Cross. Any failure now Major
Murphy brands as a national dis
grace and a menace to the lives of
hundreds of soldiers.
Too many mufflers and not enough
sweaters are being furnished by the
Red Cross workers throughout the
division, according to Coler Camp
bell, director of war relief work for
the Northern Division of the Red
Cross.
"Our soldiers need sweaters more
than any other knitted article" de-
clared Mr.. Campbell. Their need
is growing with the approach of
winter. For the next few weeks it
would be most appreciated if the
women throughout the division
would concentrate their work upon
sweaters. The other articles are
needed but there is not the impera-
tive demand for their production
that there is in the case of sweaters
for the soldiers"

Mrs. John White, Dell Rapids, S.

the Red Cross when she forwarded
a pair of socks to Northern Division

Mrs. White raised and sheared the

finally completed the knitting her

WALLOPY WALL PPP
HERO OF YANKEES
cothamite. Cast Aside by Tigers.
Manufacturer Of Circuit Drives.

New York, June H-waily Pipp-
who would look just as well named
Wallopy Pipp-is the main cog around
which rolls the attack and defense
OF the Yankees. Pipp, elongated ex-
ponent of three-baggers and home
runs, once was eligible TO a position
as regular on Hugh Jennings famous
Tigers, but Hughie couldn't see It
that way, so he Is now making the
boards rattle as a member Of Wild
William Donovan's obstreperous gang.
Pipp had a hard time convincing
the fans this year that they hadn't
gone a little too far and somewhat
too soon when they acclaimed him a
demon sticlIer. He started very. very
tardily, but along about the time the
White sox ambled into New York
to teach the Yankees baseball Wany
and his bat got busy. The net result
OF his efforts was two defeats for
the White Sox, and when the Browns
took up the burden where Rowland's 8
stars left on he won two games
singie-handed from the Fielder Jones
entry. Two home runs changed on
his bat at opportune moments on
successive days.
Pipp is a sort OF blushing genius.
He Is no prouder of his hits. including
the home runs, than Ed. Walsh used
to be Of his spithall. This Is no
prouder Of a thing than the United
States is OF its navy. However, right
there his applause ends. and, In spite
of II, not because Of II, he is one
Of the best felders the American
League holds.
For instance, Roger Peckinpaugh Is
accredited one of the best fielders In
the American League-a man who
fields and throws consistently day
in and out. As q matter OF fact.
Roger Is just as likely to aim at the
upper tier OF boxes In right field as
at first base, and that's where Pipp
begins to work for, the beneft OF the
home boys average. He Is able to
stretch almost anywhere in shooting
distance OF first base and scoop 'em
up. He does It constantly. Peckin-
paugh's errors are turned into good
throws by Pipp. Likewise he scoops
the bad ones up for the rest Of the
crowd.
Frank Baker Is a valuable bailplayer
and Slim Caldwell is a whale OF a
pitcher, but just what would happen
to the Yankees without Wallopy Pipp
is something for the puzzle makers
to answer.
