Less than a year ago the Red
Cross called upon the American peo-
pie for a fund of one hundred million
dollars from which to finance the
tremendous work Of relief and re-
construction that was vital to our
allies and ourselves, if the German
terror was to be beaten back.
Necessity as well as Humanity
compelled the work, for while the
gallant Allied armies were grimly
winning way to Victory, suffering
and want were taking dreadful toll
among the civil populations from
which all armies must draw their
strength. If the morale of the En-
tente was to be upheld-if the War
was to be Won, practical relief must
be Forthcoming on a Scale greater
and more far reaching than the
World has ever seen.
And since America was the only
country with resources adequate to
the needs, it fell naturally to the AM
erican Red Cross to act as the or
ganized spirit of our great nation in
this war behind the battle line.
And SO the call came for the First
War Fund and in one week Americas
answer went echoing back to Europe
more than a hundred million was
freely given to make the World fit
for Democracy. At that time the
membership of the Red Cross was less
than two million. In six months it
had increased to five million and with
the Christmas Drive, the enrolment
sprang in one mighty bound to twen-
ty-two million loyal supporters of
this perfect embodiment of the Ma
(tion's Purpose in this war
Today the American Red Cross is
the largest organization of any kind
in the world and the greatest force
for good. In the black welter of war
ring nations, it is the one bright spot
of Hope-Humanity's Light
With such vast working force
behind it, there will never be any
doubt but what the tremendous work
that in the last twelve months has
been barely started, will be upheld
and continued throughout the war
and until it's ravages have been re-
stored.
But with each call for funds the
question naturally arises as to where
these millions go, and since twenty
two million people have right to
know how their money is beifg spent,
the Red Cross, through it's Divisions

EVERY FARMER SHOULD
KEEP FLOCK OF SHEEP
Small Flock On Every Farm Would
Prove Profitable Enter
prise

That it would pay every farmer to
keep a small flock of sheep, is shown
by the following report made by P.
s. Jordan of the West Central School
of Agriculture. This report shows
what was done at the school with just
a few sheep and a good profit was
made:
The old expression applied to
sheep "the golden hoof" was never
more true than it is today With the
high prices being paid for both sheep
and mutton this old expression is
double true. 1t may be of interest
to some to know what the little flock
at the station did last year. Only
thirteen ewes and ram, is all it can
boast in numbers. From this little
flock we sold or can credit by in
crease inventory over four hundred
dollars in returns. Following is the
statement of returns:
148 lbs. of wool at 46c -..--... S66.08
2 pure bred lambs at $40 .-. 1000
1 grade -.----...----.-----.-- 1000
5 lambs average So lbs. at I3c 55.98
Increase in inventory, / yr.
ram ,.-.,----..---.-..-.,.,........-. $500
Increase in inventory, 1S yr.
I ewes at SIG ..------------------.--- $1,000
Total income ----------..----$407.06
The feed cost is little over one
hundred dollars. They received only
hay except for month at lambing
when ewes got one half pound of !.
grain a day. While they got mostly
only the hay out Of the cows mang-
ers we will charge them with A lbs.
a day for zoo days which is a full
feed, at $10 ton and Il lb. of grain
for 80 days at lambing at &c lib.
This will bring the eve cost up to
$54. The lambs received u lb. of
grain day for ninety days and the
Ia lambs carried over, 8 lbs day
for 200 days. This brings the cost
against the lambs to $3.50. Taking
the usual estimate that thirteen ewes
and their lambs are equivalent to
three cows in regard to pasture we
may charge them up $500 for pas
ture. This makes a total cost Of
$120.5O and net profit above cost
of feed Of $286.56. Gould you ask
for more profitable enterprise than
this? You would make no mistake
In putting small flock Of sheep on
your farm The outlook was never
brighter"

s1r PAYS TO ADVERTISE"
Nothing Can Beat Newspapers.
SAYS Official of the CLYDE
Cars Company

The Clyde Cars company, manu-
facturers of Clydesdale trucks. will
begin this month an advertising
campaign of national scope. "It is
planned to make the newspapers
throughout the country the backbone
of this campaign" says Mr.. Burch
of the company.
ut has been our experience" says
Mr.. Burch, that when we want to
tell business houses about the ad-
'vantages of our product there is
nothing that brings the message
home to them as quickly and with
such an immediate response in the
shape of orders as newspaper adver-
tising.
This is best proven by the fact
that the present demand for Clydes-
dale trucks has been built almost
entirely by newspaper advertising.
I'VE are thoro believers in ma
tional magazine advertising as a
prestige and reputation builder. But
we do believe and have proven that
when concern is introducing its
product to the public and wants i'm
mediate orders nothing can beat the
newspapers.

"For us the war is not over"

FOR US the war 10 not over"
Back from q month spent in Wash

Frank L. woodward. deputy food ad-
mtnistrator for Colorado. stated that
as his conviction today.
THE war Is not over as effects the
habits. thoughts and outlook of the
American people. II we prematurely
return to the habits Of peacetime and
our selfish, narrow, provincial ways
there IL disaster ahead for the world.
mo league Of nations can be effect
ed BY people whose vision Is bounded
only by their own little affairs. I'm
less we feel the hunger In Rumania
and the anarchy in Russia and the
famine In Serbia and the devastation
in Belgium to be of as much concern
to US as our own Sunday dinner and
our own local affairs, we have lost
the war, since we have paid dearly
In blood and tears and yet we remain
exactly as we were before.
'If we are to mete Just punishment
out to the Hun, restore order. and re-
build the world we must keep UP our
fighting spirit.
II wish sometimes the war had
lasted six months longer. Then 1t
would have wiped the selfishness, the
soft love of easy ways. out Of our ma
lures, made us forever world con-
scious. caused our hearts to be torn
As much by the wall of a hungry Serb
ian child as though that child were
