The editor of the Tidings has kind
ly placed this space in his paper at
the service of our local Red Cross,
and we take pleasure in here acknowl-
edging our deep Indebtedness for all
the free publicity so generously do
mated to us by our home press. Their
contribution to the success of the Red
Cross in this community has been a
substantial one; in fact, the free pub

a determining factor in that success.
This space will be devoted to news
items, both local and national, con-
cerning the Red Cross-short articles
on war relief and other topics of
timely interest along similar lines.

York, which is an unusually large
number, being approximately 1000
boxes, but the market instead Of fall
ing rose from SO to 1892. This
would mean S2.25 per box net to the
valley grower, with all charges de-
Quoted. While this value will prob
ably not be maintained, the sales in
dicate that tie season will be good
one, particularly If the California
Bartletts get out of the way before
the Rogue River Bartletts start in.
1t looks now as though the picking
season for Bartletts would not begin
earlier than August 20, perhaps a
few days later than that.
The auction market July 27 was
highest in New York, the quotations
in the other centers being Boston

QUESTIONS REGARDING THE RED
CROSS ANSWERED.

CROSS ANSWERED.
Why the Red Cross Does Not Accept
Percentages of Receipts From En-
tertainments.
Well-meaning persons often offer
to furnish entertainment to the pub
lie, to provide dinners and similar
propositions on plan Of giving the
Red Cross part Of the proceeds.
That this has been refused is mex
plicable to many. In addition to the
reasons given by Mr.. Taft in recent
magazine article is the local condi-
tion that during the recent campaign
for funds for the Red Cross this COM
munity responded so generously that
1t seems inadvisable to further ask
for funds at this time. We will have
to come again some time and think 1t
not desirable to continually ask for
small donations.
The questions usually asked are
three. The answers are by Mr.. Taft,
member of the executive board, and
are authoritative:
1. Must permission to give an en-
tertainment for the Red Cross be OBJ
tanned from headquarters, and If so,
how far in advance must the request
be made?
Permission must be obtained from
the local chapter with which
branch or an auxiliary is affiliated.
Such permission, moreover, must be
obtained before plans for the enter
tainment. including orders for print
ing, have been completed; otherwise
waste of effort and of money would
result il it chanced permission were
not granted. All chapters of the Red
Cross have been particularly eau
toned against giving consent for To-
cal entertainments in the name of the
Red Cross unless all the conditions
conform to the organizations policy.
Briefly, these conditions are: First,
that there be no division of profits
with the promoter; second, that the
management is under Red Cross con-
troll; and third, that there is no use
of the Red Cross emblem or name in
advertising an entertainment unless
the affair is actually under Red Cross
direction and control

Moving picture studios are turning
out more good, clean, bright and in

coin and other presidents in time of
stress. The people are realizing that
they must work hard part Of the time
but not all the time and that If they
have some wholesome recreation they
can work better for it. War pictures
are dying, but bright fresh ones are

Oregon On Roll of Honor in War
Relief.

Latest tabulations by the American
Red Cross show Oregon standing fifth
in amount of per capita contributions
to the Red Cross war fund. The re-
port accords Delaware first place
with a rate of S. per capita; second,
Michigan with $1.1S; third, Mon
tana, "a cents; fourth, Illinois, SO
cents; and fifth, Oregon with 81
cents per capita. Taking into con-
sideration the fact that Oregon Is
not. comparatively speaking, a
wealthy state, this rating certainly
bears eloquent testimony to her true
patriotism.

Women and the Red Cross.

In recognition of the splendid zeal
displayed in Red Cross activities by
the women of the United States, and
the organizing for systematic relief
work of non-professional women, the
war council Of the A. r. G. has cre-
ated a woman's bureau and has ap-
pointed a national advisory board of
women. The new bureau opened
headquarters in Washington on July
and will endeavor to enlist every
available woman in the country in
the nationwide campaign for funds
and supplies. The woman's commit
tee will cooperate with the United
States government and the state au-
thorities, not only in directing women
who want to work to places where
help is wanted, but also in maintain
ing classes of instruction in the kinds
of services most needed It's func-
ton is to direct and organize the
woman-power of America in all
things which will help to win the war.
To this end the committee is appoint
ing representative in each state and
these, in turn, are naming representa-
tives in each town and city. The
aim of the woman's committee is to
give every woman the opportunity to
serve in the way for which she is best
fitted, and at the same time to save
waste of effort and duplication of ac-
tivities. To this end it asks the help
of all women everywhere.
