Seventy-five boys of Putnam have manifested their intention to cam and give to the Y NJ. C. A. war work fund the sum of ten dollars between now and next April 1918. They have five months to complete their task and have taken to 1t with fine spirit. Nor Is there less mention to the fact that twenty-five girls are going to play boy" for once and do likewise.
 This conclusion was reached this morning when Erie II. Johnson spoke to the school upon this important work, and why the task should not be neglected by Putnam youths. Nor man L. Kennedy, chairman of the boys campaign. explained the propo- sition and supplemented his remarks by call for boys to enlist in the campaign Superintendent Mcdonald and II. C. Meinken. secretary of the local campaign committee were also present.
 Now the committee is appealing to the community for work for these boys who are so eager to do their ut most even for their brothers across the seas. There is a like call for the girls, which is fully if not more inn portant.
 A list of those pledging themselves will be published later.

AMERICAN PRISONERS
 PROVIDED FOOD
Red Cross to Feed United States Men
 Captured by Germans
Navy Department is Furnishing Clothing

In line with the article in last week s PATRIOT, telling of the work Of the Red Cross among our troops serving in France, the following dispatches of interest in that 1t shows that the Red Cross k not only caring for our soldiers while they are in our armies, but also follows them into the German prison camps when they are captured by the enemy
 The War Council of the American Red Cross has appropriated $3l PIP to buy seventy-hve tons Of food for A mefi- can Pnsoness in Germany The food is to be forward to tho Red Gross ware. house in Switzerland, pending it's need by American Prisoners. At pres ent the number of American Prisoners in German prison camps consists only of about 100 seamen. Twenty-Five tons of food for their relief, enough to sus- tain this number Of men for three months, have been sent to BeTne up to this time, and this authorized order for seventy five tons will insure their sustenance for an additional nine months, or will suffice for a larger number for shorter period.
 Soldiers and sailors captured by the Central Powers are not provided by their eaptors with sufficient food to keep them in good health, nor with sufficient clothing, so these necessities must be provided from home, and in view of this condition, the American Red Cross, and the United States Government is preparing 10 feed all American soldiers and sailors who may be taken prisoners by Germany dur. ing the war. A complete scheme for sustaining prisoners Is now being worked out jointly ny the war and Navy Departments and the American Red Cross, which will be the agency through which Inc American prison. CTS will be reached.
 Under lhe proposed plan Of feeding American Prisoners in Germany, each prisoner ls iu receive, in the couise of every two weeks, three ten pound packages. containing proper and sui. ticent tatipnN to keep him in goo d health for lAst length Of time. IL is expected that sufficient food to sustain a considerable number of men for sev. eral months will have been accumulat- ed tn Berne before the American troops begin active service on the fighting front.
 Already the Navy Department has shipped 100 outfits of clothing for the interned sesmen in Germany, and the QuarteTmaster Generals Department, So cases of clothing for soldiers and in- termed civilians. Foodstutis, so far provided, have been purchased by the American Red Cross. but the furnish. ing of necessary rations is to be at tended to by the Government as soon as detailed plans for prisoner relief work are perfected.
 Under existing arrangements with the German Government food and clothing for American prisoners are sent in bulk to neutral country ana there repacked by agents of the Amer ican Red Cross in standard containers,

We are now in dogless days. The rule of the commissioner Of domestic animals that dogs shall be confined on the owners premises, unless leashed and accompanied by the owner, has made dogs noticeable by their absence. Where the streets have been overrun with a tot of mongrels not canine is now to be seen. The dog may be noble animal, doubtless K, but there are dogs and dogs, and the retirement of some dogs to hnckyards is not n thing to cause universal mourning eX cept in the dog family.

American soldiers have been killed in France. The realization that the country is at war is being brought home more and more forcefully. Those who have no sons, brothers, or near relatives in the service do not yet fully realize what 1t means to those who gather al the home table where there is vacant chair. Or in the evening around the fireside where one voice is missing. Those who have boys in the army have fully realized for some tune that the Cnited States is as much In the war as are any of the other coun- tries. Sleepless nights and troubled dreams are what mothers are expert encing in the homes where service flags fly, or are entitled to fly. Unless one lives in such a home the full reali. zalion of it all can not yet be expe Tieneed.

There Is about 100 barrels OF oil in the
tank. and It is impossible TO gauge accu-
rately until the well has been put to
pumping on account OF the small amount
Of gas in the well The small amount Of
oil I'm tankage is due to the fact that the
