How to Mail Cut Flowers.

You have some lovely forget-me-nots
IN your garden. You would like Mary
to have some, but she is SO awkwardly
far away. Didn't 1t occur to you that
you could mail them satisfactorily, II
you only knew how? Here's how.
Separate the large bunch into
smaller punches Of perhaps four or
five flowers. Now wiring out wad cf
absorbent cotton in salt water-a tea
spoonful to pint will be sufficient.
Break the damp wad into smaller
of the stems. Finally wrap flower,
stems and all, loosely in newspaper,
wax paper If you have 1t. It is q
good plan, too, to line the box with
the dampened cotton.

Literary Club

The years work of the Literary
Club for 1918-19 was auspiciously
opened with the first meeting which
was held at the home of Mrs. S.
Stewart on Monday afternoon, Sept.
20.
The meeting was called to order
at the usual hour Of the new Presi-
dent, Mrs. F. R. Putnam, who in a
few we'll chosen words of greeting,
predicted a pleasant and profitable
years work. The usual business OF
the work of the club was transacted
including the annual yearly reports
of the secretary and treasurer. A
letter was read from Mrs. Mary B.
Blon, Paris, France, thanking the
club for box of clothing sent for
the refugees in France. 1t was voted
to continue the support of the Or
phan boy in France and the sum OF
$500 voted toward his allowance.

Soldiers Vote Applications

A supply of application blanks for
absent voters are now in the hands
Of all banks, county auditors and
county directors Of the public safety
commission. Relatives and friends
of men in the service are requested to

The Public Safety Commission as
well as every parent or relative, is
anxious that no right of citizenship
be abrogated to any soldier or sailor

the Safety Commission. 1t was
hoped to have Gov. Burnquist pres
ent, but he was unable to attend.
Mr.. Will gave very snappy talk and
created considerable enthusiasm
among those who heard him.
There were several pleasing booths
fitted up that attracted considerable
attention. One was booth for the
Food Administration pointing out
the necessity of saving food and en-
phasizing the need of using more
potatoes and cereals and saving
wheat and sugar. Herb. Hanson did
the work on the booth and arranged
everything very nicely. Other
booths were by the Agricultural
School, showing the results of the
work done this summer, and a Red
Cross Exhibit by the Stevens County
Chapter.
One of the popular features of the
fair this year for women was the Y.
w. C. A. rest room, which was a
great convenience. This was in a
new building just erected off of the
exhibit building. A new office was
also erected this year for the secre-
tary.
Altogether, the fair was big sue
cess and a credit to those who had
it in charge.

TWO MORE BOYS GIVE
LIFE FOR COUNTRY
Stevens County Young Men Make
Supreme Sacrifice for
Democracy

Two more Stevens county boys
have offered their lives that the
Stars and Stripes may be kept float
ing and that freedom may be pre-
served on the earth. One boy died on
the battle fields of France and the
other at a hospital in Philadelphia.
The news of the death of Leo A.
Kolb of Chokio was received last
week, he having been sick only a
few days. He died in hospital at
Philadelphia from pneumonia. He
enlisted in the navy from Chokio on
May 21, 1917, and was stationed at
the Great Lakes Training station un-
til April of this year, when be was
transferred to the U. S. Navy yards
at Philadelphia. At the time of his
death he held clerical position in
the u. S. pay Office and was second
class yoeman. Leo Kolb was born at
Melrose, Dec. 81, 1897, and at the
time he enlisted he was assistant
cashier in the Farmers State Bank
or Chokio. The funeral was held
at Melrose last Saturday.
The other young man was Earl
Swanson, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Swan
Swanson of Hancock. They received
a telegram Tuesday of last week
reading as follows: 1--WE deeply re-
gret to inform you that Private Earl
Swanson, Co. X, 47th Regulars, is
officially reported as killed in Action
Aug. 4th." The Hancock Record Of
last week gives the following account
of young Swanson:
Earl Swanson grew to manhood
in the village and went with the
first assignment from this county last
September to Camp Dodge. He was
later transferred to Camp Pike and
later to the 47th Regular Infantry,
going across in May of this year and
was killed in action August 4th, the
same day that Charles Macarthur died
for his country. Earl had written
to his parents under date of July
22nd, happy, cheerful letter, which
was mailed the 28th. He was twenty
three years of age. August 7th last.
Here in the village he was known
as a quiet rather reserved young
man Of the best Of habits and who
left with cheerful smile, without
one trace Of fear at his country's s
call and though he lies in his hal
lowed grave somewhere in France
far from home and friends he will
live in the hearts of those who knew
him forever and a day."

NURSES TO REGISTER
BY OCTOBER FIFTEEN
Questionnaires Must Be Filled Out
and Sent to Washington at
Once "a

All Red Cross Chapters in the
Northern Division will soon begin a
great recruiting campaign for nurses
if instructions issued today by Mr..
F. T. Heffelfnger, Division Manager,
are carried out to the letter. The
instructions were embodied in gen
eral letter to the chapters, which fol-
lows:
Some months ago the American
Red Cross was asked by the War
Department to enroll $4,000 nurses
for army and navy service. These
nurses were to be enrolled by Oct
ober 1. 1t has now become appar-
ent that this enrolment will not
be completed by the date set, and the
demand for nurses is still growing
daily.
''To meet this demand the War
Department has taken matters into
it's own hands and has ordered a
registration of nurses similar to that
used preliminary to drafting men for
service. In order that this registra-
tion may be accomplished with all
possible speed, the War Department
has requested use of the organized
Red Cross machinery. Question
naires have been prepared and will
be mailed under separate cover to
be filled out by all the women in the
jurisdiction who are graduate nurses,
student nurses, ungraduate nurses
(w4n1en who started but did not
complete nursing course,) trained
| attendants (such as assistants in in
| sane or tuberculosis hospitals), prac-
| tical nurses, midwives and women
who have taken part or all of any
| Red Cross nursing course.
This is a hurry-up job. The
completed questionnaires must be in
washington not later than October
lis. If the work can be completed
earlier, so much the better. These
questionnaires, when filed out will
contain biographical details Of the
signer, with statement of the
amount of training she has received
and her general qualification for
service. It is necessary that each
registrant state whether or not she
is willing to undertake war service
and If not, upon what grounds she
! bases her claim for exemption. These
completed questionnaires should be
forwarded at once to the Division
Office from whence they will be sent
Immediately to Washington, while the
Chapter will retain a card reciting
the main facts stated in the question
naires.

NO ORDER NEEDED TO
ERECT SMALL BUILDINGS
Construction and Repairing Up to
$1,000 Permitted Without
Order

n. M. AOamS, WHO III duO1C1Ou 10
his other duties along the lines of
war activity has been appointed
county director to supervise all
building, has been sending out letters
this week to the lumber dealers OF
the county notifying them of the
new government orders in regard to
selling building material for new
buildings or improvements.
Since the order went into effect
there has been considerable excite
ment among the dealers and those
who had planned on doing building
of any kind.
Mr.. Adams has the following to
say regarding this subject: Where
new undertakings of any nature are
contemplated, applicants must first
place the proposition with all rea-
sons therefor before the county
director of the county within which
the building project is to be located.
If, after consideration of the applica-
tion, the county director is not con-
vinced that the undertaking is such
that it cannot be deferred until the
war, and that, Notwithstanding it has
local Importance, it does not con-
tribute directly or indirectly toward
winning the war, then the applica-
ton must be declined. If, however
the county director conceives the
proposed project to be of such es-
sentially that, even under existing
conditions it should not be deferred
then he will require the applicant to
furnish a full statement of facts un-
der oath, to which the county direct
ors, personal recommendation in
writing with reasons therefor should
be attached and forwarded to D. r
Cotton, Regional Advisor, 1413 Pi-
oneer Building, st. Paul.
If approved by the latter with his
Advisory Board the application will
be forwarded to Washington with
recommendation for issuance OF
building permit. 1t is impossible al
this time to state what period will
elapse between the recommendation
of a permit and its issuance.
1t was at first thought that this
order meant that no building or re.
pairing of any sort could be done
without first getting permit. This
has been modified to some extent and
a telegram received Monday stated
that any building or repairing under
$1,000 for farm purposes could be
gone ahead with and no permission
would be needed.
The reason for this order is thai
labor and material needed in wal
work must be released, and fuel and
transportation conserved. The effect
of the order is to discharge construc-
ton work which does not contribute
directly towards winning the war.
