THE MESSAGE OF
THE WHISTLES

The whistles all shouted our JOY to the
world,
And it seemed that they never could
cease.
Our glad town awoke and its banners
unfHrled-
How we shouted for victory and
peace!
Proud whistles, loud whistles, shrill
whistles clear
They tell us that peace has now
come.''
We welcome the tidings with right
hearty cheer,
For it means that our boys can come
home.
But, list, There's whistle long,
mOurnful and slow
As if the sad fact to recall:
Our boys will come home, but Oh
don't you know
That many will ne'er come at ALL"

Red Cross Notes

The full returns of the War Fund
Drive in Pierce County have not yet
been received. The committee is
pleased to report that the city of
River Falls has contributed $4,000
which is about three times it's quota.
The quota Of $4,000 for the county
has been reached and will be exceed
ed but not doubled. The villages
are averaging considerably more per
capita than the country districts.
We wonder why. A full report will
be given as soon as possible.
A good shipment of wom e ms

After the war the Red Cross
boosters will receive full measure of
thanks and appreciation from re-
turned soldiers and sailors who have
occasion to know just what the work
means. Just now, however, it is not
so much the appreciation shown for
duty performed. but the ignominy
Of not coming up to requirements
that is emphasized. The cases where
response to the Red Cross drives
have not been up 20 requirements
instead of being greatly oversub-
scribed, are so few and far between
that they and not the loyal COM
munities are receiving the strongest
glare Of calcium-a glare that is
hard and disagreeable to face.

and interesting department of work
is the garments for French and Bel

ment were 10 dresses, 45 petticoats,

Enough yarn has been given out
for the quota of sweaters and it is
not expected that any more yarn
can be obtained until quota of
socks is assigned the Chapter.
A new supply of material for pa
jamas and bed shirts has arrived at
the work room. If all will help

The more pajamas and bed shirts
we make the better and faster we
shall turn them out. A record of
the output of the room is kept and
will be published from i m to

Mule Is Doinu His Bit.

The Missouri mule is doing his bit,
and doing it well, in the present world
conflict, just as he did it in the Civil
war. In many sections at the front
and along the lines of communication
are places where mules are almost in
dispensable and where horses and
motorcars are virtually useless.
Pershing's engineers have testified
to the worth of the mules in the
acquisitions they have made to Wash
tngton for the animals.
