through arrangements made by the
American Red Cross and announced by
DR.. William C. Stinson, field director
at Camp Dix, by which that Organiza

anticipation of the allotments
As there has been much complaint
over the delay, due TO necessary red
tape in getting through many first pay
ments Of allotments TO soldiers de-
pendents. the offer Of the Red Cross
meets a timely need Dr. Stinson says
the Red Cross stands ready in all casses
where the necessity exists to advance
money from its own funds until the
checks arrive. Soldiers, he
says, should not regard this as charity,
but as part Of the responsibility which
the Red Cross has assumed for main
tanning the morale OF the American
soldiers by instilling them with conf
dence that their families will not suffer
for the necessities Of life during their
absence.

county agricultural agents, by Chas.

of the county indicate that yields will
not be that large.

and spring wheat is now going on and
it is expected that about 25 per cent

favorable and some threshing has
been done with the yield reported al
