The SIGN OF THE RED
CROSS IN THE WINDOW
Scores Of Solicitors Are Work
Ing for a Red Cross
Christmas. .-.. .. .

This is the week of the campaign
for new members of the Red Cross,
in order that, If possible, every house
will have a service flag displayed in
the front window with ono or more
crosses on the same. The idea is to
make this Red Cross Christmas, and
that candle be placed in each win
dow behind the Red Cross banner on
Christmas Eve.
1t should be matter of pride Of our
people to make the membership of the
Kandiyohi County Chapter of the
great Red Cross organization so
strong that in proportion to the popu-
lation it would be second to none in
the North Star State.
In renewing your membership care
should be taken to inform the solic-
itor what kind Of membership you had
before. Thus If you are receiving the
magazine you should renew for, a two
dollar membership in order to continue
receiving the same. If you had a IS
or SO membership you will no doubt
wish to continue in those classes.
The campaign continues until close
of this week. Country people may se-
cure their memberships and banners
from the nearest branch or auxiliary
Of the society. Everybody in city and
country. should have the sign Of the
Red Cross in the window on Christmas
Eve.

ADVISORY BOARD
ASKS ASSISTANCE
Task Of Filling Out Queshel-
naires too Great for a Few
Men to Do.

The members of the LEGAL AD.3
vIsORY BOARD for this County have
taken the required oath and entered
upon their duties. They are thoroly
satisfied that it will be utterly impos-s
sible for them to render the aid re-
quired to all drafted men even with
the assistance of associate members
of the board which were today ap-
pointed as follows: r. w. Stanford, L
o. Thorpe, E. F. Fink, S. B. Qyale,
George Muller and S. L. Benton Of this
city; Harold Swenson and L. E. Cow
ell of New London; Charles A. Sven
son, John A. Johnson and William e.
Peterson of Atwater; P. A. Gandrud
and A. ]. Syse of Sunburg; e. L..
Thorpe of Pennock and H. N. Ashley
of Raymond.
Every member of the board is con-
vinced that not only all the attorneys
in the County but every qualified lay.
man in the county will be required to-
help in filling out the questionnaires.
Perhaps this would not be required
if each drafted man would study and
inform himself on his QUESTIONABLE.
Many and perhaps the greater major.
ity of the drafted men could fill out
the QUESTIONABLE. Our experience.
thus far leads us to believe that this
matter is treated too fndffferently by.
the parties most interested, and the
board calls upon every drafted man to
do the best he can and that he call to
his assistance some qualified layman
to aid in filling out his questionnaire.
The permanent as well as the associ-
ate members will render all possible
aid and assistance, but it is entirely
beyond their power to do all that the
drafted men demand of them within
the allotted time, and the board ap-
peals to every layman competent to
render any aid, to come to the assist
ance of the drafted men. -
No member of the board nor any
one called upon to perform this urg-
ent duty receives any com1ensat5on.
Every citizen Is required to DO his @b.t
for the interest of our country.
1t should also be remembered that
the members of the board are public
servants who have public duties to
perform distinct from the duties cast
/ upon them by the government.

the colossal task which the British
Government has Just begun to face.
after, perhaps half the greatest war
in history.
The most-up-to-date figures avail
able today show that $4,000 widows
already are dependent on the Gov
eminent for life.
This figure does not include the
results of some OF the recent bat
ties on the Somme. There are also
100000 war orphans on the pension
lists and 10000 disabled soldiers have
been judged eligible TO pension, while
$4,000 cases are pending.
Large temporary buildings have
been erected in st. James Park, lust
behind the Foreign Office, i'm which
British pensions will be administered
during the war. After peace comes,
permanent buildings will no doubt be
erected in which hundreds of officials
will talxle the task or providing for
the hundreds of thousands whose
lifes have been directly altered by the
European war.

his opinion, and that the world gener-
ally Will admit that science has done
its part.
ITO mention only isolated cases, the
processes of wireless communication
and for the registering OF sounds at
distances that is by the ordinary wire
less currents and by ground induc-
ton, have been maryelously perfected
through the requirements of the war.
All the armies are rivaling each other
in skillful methods of tapping the
enemy's lines of telephone communi-
cation from a considerable distance;
not tapping as II is generally under
stood. but by the use OF marvellous
instrument that enables the sentinel
in his advanced listening post out be-
yond the front line OF trenches to hear
the enemy communications by telo-
phone, going over wires that are sew
eral hundred yards away"

things may be made" said "A. Pain
leve. who, as Minister Of Munitions,
organized "a veritable mobilization Of
scientists and scientific laboratories in
France. The technical sections of his
ministry collaborated with inventors
TO bring to practical use the interest
ing propositions that were found
worth considering. He himself pre-
sided over special commission of
men of science, charged with the ex-
animation of all new inventions and
processes proposed for use in the ma

be regarded as in better position
than any other man in France to know
what science has done for the war.
