Just 3,110 new Ked Cross members
We're secured in the Christmas men,
bersEip drive which closed in Stark

a most remarkable showing, consider
ing the fact that the population Of
the county is largely foreign and that
winter distances out here in the
"lasC great west" of the state are
lengthy ones, indeed.
Grand Forks and Ward, two of the
counties which forged ahead of Stark
in the drive, each have twice the popu-

other two counties leading Stark, have
better advantages for the making of

ganda, have caused the impression to
exist that the government is backing
the food conservation campaign with
the intention that as soon as the
pledges have been signed COVE: nment
agents will enter the hCmes of tie
sigrers and inventory their stock Of
loodstulrs, including all canned and
preserved goods and then connscate

While such a tale is so preposter.
ous as TO bring a hearty laugh to those
who arc at all acquainted with the
plan and ideas OF food conservation
or with the workings of the u. S. gov
ernment itself, DR.. Garland says it is
astonishing the amount of trouble
this tale has caused the patriotic
workers seeking sisners to the food
cards and he is now sending out no
tees TO the county workers asking
that they place the matter before the
people and show them the utter i'm
possibility Of any such thins as con-
liscation, or even an inventory of the
food being taken
In letter received Friday morning
by Mrs. W. f.. Allgire, Knox county
chairman, Dr Garland says that this
belief is widespread and asks her to
do all in her power to rcfutc the
charge. Mrs, Allgire said Friday that
the local workers had reported few
instances whore housewives had re-
fused to accept the foOdcards owing to
the fact that the story referred to had
reached their cars.
