RED CROSS NOTES.


Last week the 31st and 32nd
boxes were shipped to division head
quarters from the Red Cross. These
boxes were from the surgical dress
ing department and constituted the
May allotment which was completed
and ready for shipment the last day
of the month. One of the cases con.
tanned 500 contagious disease face
masks, the other $50 five-yard rolls
The workroom was open every day
last week, both morning and after,
noon, and many girls and women
were busy folding and rolling tn,
five-yard bandages that they might
be finished on time.
The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1918-06-11

The allotment for the month Of
June is again $50 fve-yard rolls.
Everyone is urged to come regularly
on the surgical dressing days. 1t is
hoped that an average OF 100 rolls
will be made each week that there
may not be such a rush at the end
OF the month. Tie chairman OF the
surgical dressing days call for at
least twenty volunteer workers for
each day. Though the rolls are
rather difficult to make when one
thinks OF the poor stumps of an am
putated limb that they are used to
bind, nothing seems too difficult
And when you think OF the battle
that is raging now daily with its
thousands of wounded, among them
Americas own boys, do you not
wonder how any woman could neg
lect or refuse tc help prepare soft
clean bandages for them.

fact that the people Of Bottineau

We are all progressing well

TO OUR PATRONS.

Commencing on August LIST the subscription
price Of The Courant will be $500 per annum
10 subscribers in the United States and It's pos
sessions and $3.50 per annum to those in Can
ada and other countries.
This innovation is most distasteful to the
publishers, and one which they had much hesl-
fancy in adopting, but it has been made imper-
atively necessary by the increased cost Of every
thing which enters into the making OF the
paper, which cost has increased during the past
twelve months from so to 200 per cent. Added
to this is the greatly increased cost OF news
paper postage and the Government tax on news
paper advertising.
Upon the restoration of business to it's nor
NAL condition, and the consequent reduction in
the price of printing office supplies to some
thing like the condition which existed before
this European horror turned the whole world
tonsvturvy, The Courant expects to restore it's
former subscription price, but until that hoped
for time arrives the rate will be as above stated.

"A Waste Of Lather.''

"A Waste Of Lather.'
Rugby, July Especial to
the Courant.-When the editor
|of the Westhope Standard meets
with II. G. Puderbaugh, assist
ant dairy commission, another
map will be changed without the
consent Of the kaiser or any Of
the rulers of the warning nations
Of Europe. For Mr.. Puderbaugh'
is peeved at the Westhope serb
bier on account Of the absolute
~ perverted version Of remarks
purported to have been made by
him while in Westhope last week,
and given publicity in the Stand
ard.
Needless to say, the Standard
man., whether knowingly or 9TH
erwise, followed the usual tao
tics of the kept press and it's
puerile imitators, by distorting
and garbling an account Of a
conversation that was held be-
tween Mr.. Puderbaugh and a
prune peddler. 1t was such a
talk as occurs every day in ev-
cry town. But because Mr.. Pu-
derbaugh is a League man the
servile imitator Of the Bacon
school of scurrility who has his
habitat in Westhope twisted it
to suit his own ideas. Those
ideas would be a credit to a junk
er in kaiserland.
Mr.. Puderbaugh not only
praised the acts of President
Wilson all thru his administra-
tion, and especially during the
world war, but expressed it as
his opinion that President Will
son is the brainiest man and
greatest statesman who has ev-
er occupied the presidential
chair, excepting only Abraham
Lincoln.
But Mr.. Puderbaugh did say
that he would not vote for
President Wilson or any other
man for a third term, but that
any other progressive democrat,
including McAdoo or Baker,
would get his support for what
it counted. Opposition to a third
term is not confined to any one
man.
Mr.. Puderbaugh also advanced
the opinion, as strictly his own,
that in the event the war did not
end during Mr.. Wilson's second
term, then he would like to see
him in the position Of secretary
of state because Of the part that
official will naturally play in
peace negotiations. No greater
compliment could be uttered.
Compare these sentiments
with the editorial abortion Of
the Westhope Standard, then
take your choice Of the reason
ableness Of the two versions. As
to the veracity of the two men,
it is easy to judge that the
Standard editor has no concep.
ton of the meaning Of the word.
The writer requests The Cour.
ant, with it's wide circulation, tt
assist in setting Mr.. Puderbaugh
right before those who woulG
like to believe such aspersions
against political opponents. The
League members will know how
much credence to place in the
fairness Of the Standard man.

These, indeed, be parlous times. Every

feel, in various ways, the greatly augmented
burden incident to the Nations conduct OF its
share in the mighty struggle now going on be-
tween the hosts of Light and Darkness in war
stricken Europe. .s*a'
In common with other industries the humble
country newspaper has been taxed it's just pro-
norton. not only in a pecuniary way, but by
manv minor restrictions which are a source
of great annoyance, all of which has been bourn
with a cheerful and willing spirit; but no"
comes an ipse dixit from the War Industries
board which DEGREES, among other things, that
thereafter free copies" as we'll as the Time
honored exchange list must be discontinued.
This latter Introduction is "the most unklndest
cut of ALL" Just how a country newspaper IS
to be successfully conducted without the alo
of it's favorite exchanges is a most vex1ng pro-
blem and one which time alone must solve; out
the fiat has gone forth and it only remains for
the unfortunate scribe to a~cquiesce with what,
grace he may.
In the meantime if those who have been re-
ceiving complimentary copies of this great
family journal should miss it's regular VISIT
they should in nowise blame the mail man nor
vet the publisher, but rather they should be-
stow their anathemas on the damnable hun,

but publishes a complete list Of it's one hundred

is nothing in connection with the ownership OF
that paper for which it's sponsors have reason
to be ashamed. How very different from the
course which Mr.. Teigen's hyphenated organ
has been obliged to pursue. =
The "Nubs of News genius of the Grand
