Entertainment for Red Cross.

The man or woman who fails to be
present at Stone Chapel on Tuesday
evening, July 81, will make blunder
that will be hard to repair. The oc-
casion will be the return of Mrs. Jar
ley, of glorious memory, with many
different friends. Mrs. farley will be
assisted in her efforts by the Oak Or
chard band and by several prominent
local entertainers. An able speaker
will explain in interesting detail the
work of the organization of the Red
Cross. The entertainment is under
the auspices of the local Red Cross
auxiliary, many of whose members
are personally acquainted with Mrs.
farley.
The weather man has been ap-
preached and hopes are high that the
evening will be all that could be de-
sired. Another thing to bear in mind
is that the smallest silver coin in our
currency is the dime. This fact will
be of interest as visitors pass the en-
trance.
There will be festival in cOnnec-
tion with this entertainment. Ice cream
and cake never tastes half so we'll as
it does at a festival at the end of July.
The entire county is cordially in
vited to be with the auxiliary at the
chapel. Remember the date July 81,
at 8 D. m If the weather should be
unfavorable it will take place on
Wednesday evening, August |.

New Motor Vehicle Law.

The new motor vehicle law recently
passed forbids glaring lights at night
on roads. Only 80 days will be allowed
from July 1st to comply with the law.
Perhaps the most important feature
of this bill is that prohibiting glaring
headlights on any of the roads in the
State. This provides that:
1T shall be unlawful to use vehic-
le of any kind, operated on the public
highways of this State, including mo-
torcycles, any lighting device of over
four candle power, equipped with a
reflector, unless the same shall be so
designed, deflected, or arranged that
no portion of the beam of reflected
light, projected to the left of the axis
of the vehicle, when measured rs feet
or more ahead of the lamps, shall rise
above AZ inches from the level of the
surface on which the vehicle stands
under all conditions of load"
Still another provision directs that
machines while standing still must
have a light on the left side, showing
red in the rear and white in front,
both lights to be visible for 200 feet.
This does not refer to the ordinary
tail light.
The provisions Of the law are made
Statewide and no local law or regu-
lation can be enacted that is in con-
flict with them.

Aid for the Farmers.

To the Editor of The Star:
The President of the United states,

rotary of the Interior, senators. rep

ing greater food production in this our
national crisis. 1t is obvious that the
burden of this responsibility is too

it is equS V evident that many are
eager to serve, and that coordination
is needed at once.
Therefore it is proposed that great
national society be organized. whose

whose aim shall be no less beneficent
than that of the Red Cross Society. Its
object shall be to increase food pro-
duction and to assist in the scientific
distribution of food products.

ment of Agriculture. Every man. wom-
an and child shall be eligible to mem
bership Dues shall be very little, in
order to insure large membership. Ex-
perts shall be chosen to organize this
great undertaking. to distribute its
energies.
Labor is one great need. but not the
only need of the farmer. He also needs
seed. fertilizer, machinery and skilled
la Dor to insure immediate and scien-
tific planting. Later unskilled labor
can take its place In the ranks. and
loyal members of the Red. White and
Blue can do their bit" Just now
speed is a great essential. Two men
with a tractor engine can plant 100
acres of corn in twenty days time. An
Individual farmer would hardly risk
this expenditure If not assured of labor
later on in caring for and harvesting
his crop.
Directors. too. are needed, practical
men. under whose direction shall be-
come most efficient the army of work.

alone, but from longing 70 lend a
hand and help our country.

pose undertake this labor of love for
