RED CROSS NOTES
BY Mrs. F. P. Bernard

The annual meeting for the election
of officers of the Marshall County
Chapter of the American Red Cross,
will be held at the High School at s.
O'Clock p. m, Tuesday July End. s,/ !
Socks are the thing most needed
now. Our quota is 675 pairs monthly,
half Of which we should knit here in
town. + understand that some of the
older girls wish to learn sock knitting.
who wish to knit will come to my home
next Friday, June %, at p. M, we
will form classes for knitting: I should
like some of the girls who do plain
knitting to help out on the squares for
the afghan I have started. You, may
also come on Friday and bring any
scraps of yarn you may have, also No.
s steel needles, or any kind of needles
of the same size. Afghan squares are
the finest kind of work for beginners.
l wonder if some Of the girls would
like to piece quits, such as Grandma
used to make. Come and tell me about
it, if you would and 1 will see what I
can do about starting piecing class.
Following is an extract from the
letter which accompanied our inStruc
tions from Headquarters as to our
allotments of garments for July and
August:
The Northern Division has estab-
lished central cutting department in
which, hereafter, all materials will be
cut and sent to our Chapters in the
form Of cut garments rather than by
the bolt. This will facilitate our con-
troll of the raw materials and of the
production by Chapters of the Articles
required. We strongly recommend
that all Chapters take advantage Of
this opportunity and order their allot-
ments in the form of cut garments, I'M
less they have specific and sufficient
reasons for doing otherwise.
I'VE cannot emphasize too strongly
the proper control Of Chapter prOduc-
ton. Chapters must realize that they
are a part of the Government and that
their work must be what is required by
the Government and indicated to us by
National Headquarters. 1t is wasteful
to produce articles that are non-essen-
tial, and it is in violation of our trust
to refuse to do things which are re-
quired. Our allotmepts to the Chapters
from now on are going to be more de-
finite, and we ask the Chapters to ex-
ercise the greatest care to produce
those articles for which we ask.
branches and AuxiliarieS are asked TO
pay the strictest attention to the allOt-
ments from their Chapters and to pro-
duce only the articles mentioned in
their allotments. We shall hold the
Chapters strictly accountable for the
production of their Counties and the
control Of their output"

terview with an official of the Vienna animal hospital.
 Tt is racr that persons ire quently come here early in the morn ing seeking dogs before our office hours begin. Most of them are wives of business men, foremen, profes- sional men and others, who have been called to the colors, but there are also women who have learned that we have nice dogs for distribution and, consequently, come looking for these faithful and trustworthy guar dians, especially in view of the whole sale robberies and the sinister ac- tivities of numerous gangs of youth full thieves As you know a close watch has to be kept over the power belts in the factories to prevent their disappearance, as is also the case with lumber in the yards. and all kinds of goods in the stores and warehouses.
 Many women, whose husbands are at the front, are afraid to stay alone and wish at least to have a Watchful animal with them to give warning of the presence of strangers at the door, through growing or barking So the dog has become a much de sired animal. People willingly pay the s4 tax and don't seem to worry about the problem of supplying the dog with food if they can thus get | a keen cared and loyal guardian Such dogs are very dear now. A Dober- mann costs from $90 to S200; shep-

 It was thought that when the new year came, many persons would drop their dogs or put an end to them, as had always happened in former years when it came time to pay the dog tax. But this year the number of dogs exterrninated showed a great falling off, while on New Years day, 1917, 300 dogs were poisoned, this year only fifty were made away with
 Of course it may have happened that some poor persons who did not
 wish to pay the high tax, or who could not do so, killed their dogs and
 served them as roasts, but such cases
 were probably rare. as there are enough persons willing to take a dog and pay well for him. For this req
 son comparatively few dogs come to
 the pound now. In January, 1917, there were 660 dogs brought in, while in January of this year the number
 was scarcely 200. At present we have only 14 dogs here and they will all kcertainly find masters.
 There are families that. despite
 the scarcity of animal feed. raised several dogs in order to make money. l How great is the demand for dogs | may also be noted in the small num- | Der of ownerless dogs seen in the
 streets of Vienna"

Then comes breakfast. with a few moments to let it settle before going to the drill grounds. An hour of physical culture exercise, the squad drill and the manual of arms until 11:3O o'clock.
 In the afternoon we drill from 1:15 to B. 90 o'clock at which time we stand retreat and roll call again. At our own time we have to wash our own clothes. We are required to shave and to polish our shoes every day. and with the vari- ous other little duties soldier is hard ly ever through work.
 Uncle Sam is taking the greatest pre- cautions to see that none of his soldiers die of disease like they did in former days of strife. Dust or dirt cannot be found in any building in any govern ment military post.
 The innoculations and vaccinations are the first step. and they are pretty hard shots to take, too. Some of the men it makes very sick; others it does rot affect.

 Washington hotels have been run at a loss. Washington walters are polite and ill-shod. Washington taxis are motheaten because of. bad business and along comes an able -bodied rumor of a crowded capital, directing the June brides to other resorts. Will no one counteract this baneful prospect ? Why not organize a department of the Chamber of Commerce to see that Gu pid's itinerary is not interfered with?

IRVING C0ALTER
 TELLS IF WORK
 IN ARMY CAMPS

How well the soldiers are fed and how the hours are busily filled-in from morning until night is part of the in- teresting information contained in a letter from Irving Coalter. an Arizona boy, to relatives in this city. Coalter is stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kan sas. with the 31st engineers.
 Although the work at times is hard and the soldier is asked to perform duties that he would not thing of doing in civil life. yet this Arizona young man declares that it is all being cheer fully performed. these patriotic and loyal Americans realizing that it is a part of the work of making q good soldier. The letter is as follows:
 Fort Leavenworth Kans.,
 May 6, 1918. Dear Folks:
 Your letters came today. so I will answer them right away. I just fin Shed a big supper so feel in very good spirits. Landed here just a week ago yesterday and have been doing real ar my life in the meantime; and it's q great life. a hard life. but a good one if one does not weaken.
 This is the melting pot of the Amer ican race and we are all of the same standard. good ones and bad ones alike. I like it much better here than I did at Douglas. Conditions are far better than they were.
 l had a nice trip out, although in- stead of sending us all in one car as they said they were going to do. after we arrived at the depot they split us up into four parties. All left the same day. over the same road, but each party on a different train. We were the last fO CaIN aIr nj of bov All were good fellows and jolly, so we enjoyed our whole trip. I reveled on rations in a tourist car With our blankets. barrack bags and mess box it looked more like one end of a bag gage car.
 Our rations consisted of corned beef canned beans. tomatoes, one can of jam and 15 loaves of bread. Each was al- lowed 21 cents per day for coffee which we got in the diner. The rest of the chow, or mess as it is called in the army, we ate cold.
 We came through Denver and stopped there 30 minutes. so we all clipped in and ventured forth to a restaurant and got good dinner. It is no unusual thing to see a soldier broke
 This is busy life and hard game and sometimes you will wonder why  in such a game, but down in youl heart you will always find the reason duty. and it's a feeling in the heart oi every red -blooded man.
 So far. I have played in luck and haven't had to serve once in any oi the various fatigue duties, but sooner or later it will come my way. You dc duties here you would not think of ir civilian life. such as doing grounds po- lice. which is picking up all rubbish around camp: work at K. P. kitcher police. or any other duty they may pre-. scribe necessary.
 The ones that came here looking fol an easy job are most surely out of luck and the ones at home who are crabbinl about their work should join the arml and realize just what a good plac, home Is. A soldier is never through Something to do all the time.
 We start in at 5:45 o'clock in tn, morning and quit at 5:30 o'clock in tn, afternoon We have 15 minutes tC dress and wash our faces befor, -eveille. Being tardy into line mean! some kind of fatigue. Discipline anC

HONEYMOON ROUTE
 HAS BEEN CHANGED
CWashington Herald)


 For half a hundred years the honors for entertaining the June crop of bridal couples lay between Niagara Falls and Washington. With the capital city eliminated as joy station on the honeymoon route, there will be less in- centive to marriage, and Cupid will be apt to enjoin the district for restraint of trade.
 Welded bliss without a glimpse of Joe Cannon would be funeral sort of thing. Hymeneal parades without a climb to the top of the Washington monu- ment would be kill joy affair. Homes without a picture postcard of the cap itol from the bride and bride groom would be desolate.
 If this sort of thing continues we will be conserving rice and saving old shoes. It would be the height of folly to take bride to Chicago. San Fran cisco is too far. Minneapolis is too near St. Paul. Kansas City has a boulevard forty-seven miles long and a strike every other day. St. Louis in June is impossible. There's really no other place for them to go but to either Mi agara Falls or Washington. Why Yet Niagara Falls have all this easv money? The averge bridegroom

WIVES SHOULD HOLD ON
TO HUSBANDS SAYS JUDGE

Atlanta, Ga, May 2.-Wives had
better hold on to their husbands in
stead of throwing them away in the
divorce court, and especially so with
the dread specter of polygamy star
ing them in the face as a possibility
of the war.
That's the view of the matter ex-
pressed by Judge w. D. Ellis of Full
ton superior court, who has listened
to so many tales of domestic unhappi-
ness, and presided over so many di-
vorce trials, that he can almost tell
by looking at a woman when she en-
tiers the court room whether she's go
ing to accuse her husband of habitual
drunkenness or inhdelity or cruel
treatment
Judge Ellis deplores the growing
divorce evil in large cities, seeing in it
menace to the very foundations of
society, and has often gone before
committees of the legislature and
urged them to recommend the pass
age of stricter laws on marriage and
divorce.
Yesterday he CHANGED to be in a
facetious frame OF mind and threw
out. the suggestion above-quoted in
the course of heavy calendar of di-
vorce cases where it looked as if a
regular epidemic had broken out
among married women to get rid of
their husbands
