Concerning Christmas Buying

 the country from congestion in the
 latter half of December which would
 be permitted, the retail interests rep resented at this hearing have agreed to cooperate further in the campaign heretofore and now being carried on under the auspices of the War Indus tries Board to restrict deliveries and to induce their customers to carry their own packages wherever possible.
 The retail interests to which refer ence has been made have further agreed to make an announcement to the above substantial effect in their advertisements commencing to the early part of September and repeating same weekly thereafter. The above suggestions if faithfully and Loyalty put into effect throughout the coun- try will make possible continuance of the holiday custom without endan- gering the national interests thereby.
 The Council of National Defense will cooperate in carrying out the sug- gested measures.

BONDS AUTHORIZED HIGHWAY FROM PRESCOTT TO JEROME

The Capital Issues Commission has authorized the sale of bonds for the purpose of building the highway be- tween Prescott and Jerome. This road when complete will cut off more than one-half the distance now travelled between Jerome and Prescott and bring much business to the. county seat.

Red Cross Will Collect Clothes For Belgians-

At the request of Herbert Hoover, Chairman for the Commission for Re- lief in Belgium, the American Red Cross will conduct drive during the week of September 23-30, to collect an additional 5000 tons of used clothing for the Belgians,
 Of this 500 tons, $50 tons are al- lotted to the Pacific Division. Allot- ments are now being made and will be forwarded to all chapters in the Divi- sion within !he next two or three days. Hocver's plea to Henry P. Davidson Chairman of the Red Cross War Coun- cil follcws:-
 "The ten million imprisoned people in occupied Belgium and France are facing shame. suffering, disease and some of them death, for lack of cloth ing this winter. They must be helped. 1 hope that the Red Cross will under take a renewed campaign to obtain this clothing in America. It can come only from us. Your first campaign yielded magnificent results, bringing in full 5000 tons of clothing in good condition. But much more is needed if this war-ravaged people are to get through the winter in decency and safety. In the face of brutal coercion and spiritual suffering they remain splendidly courageous. This courage challenges any charity. Let us match the courage of Belgium by the gener- osity of America.
 Among the garments asked for by the Red Cross are the following:
 MEMS WEAR
 Shirts (preferably of light colored flannels) undershirts, underdrawers, trousers, coats, work suits (overalls) suits 6 piece), shoes, overcoats, jer- seys, sweater-vests, socks, (sizes 10 1-2 and II.
