Ebert SCHOOLS

The schols are busily at work al
though most of the pupils are still
out. Conditions regarding the In
fluepza are much improved and those
who are not afflicted with it should
re-enter school And those who
have had the influenza should re-
turn as soon as permitted by the
physician. But all who have been
exposed or sick in any way should
see the doctor, and get his permit to
return. That is the safe course, 80
as to avoid spreading the disease.
All who can, should take up the
school work, and by some extra eff
fort we may be able to complete the
work of the year. Especially those
in the sth grade should be in school.

PRESIDENT URGES EVERY
AMERICAN TO JOIN RED
CROSS

In its drive for new members the
American Red Cross Sunday made
public a message from President
Wilson prepared before his depart
ure for Europe. The president asks
every American to enroll In the or
ganization during the Christmas
roll call to take place in the week
of Dec. 1928.
THE exact nature of the future
service of the Red Cross will de
pend upon the program of the aso-
ciated government" says the pres
ident, but there is immediate need
today for every heartening word and
for every helpful service.
1--WE must not forget that our sol
diers and our sailors are still under
orders and still have duties to per-
form of the highest consequence and
that the Red Cross Christmas mem
bership means great deal to them.
'As president of the Red Cross,
conscious in this great hour in the
value Of such IA message from the
American people, I should be glad If
every American would join the Oed
Gross for 1919 and thus send forth
to the whole human family the
Christmas greeting for which 1t
waits and for which II stands in
greatest need"

WAR RISK INSURANCE

Some soldiers and sailors are drop
ping their war risk insurance be-
cause the relatives they named as
beneficiaries have failed to receive
insurance certificates from Washing
ton. The Colorado Council OF De-
fense advises that the insurance is
in effect even though no certificates
are received. The great volume of
work necessary in the department at
Washington is the cause of the delay.
The certificate is no part of the con-
tract of insurance-it Is merely evil
dence that the contract exists.

Oyster Fishing by Submarine.

Mr. Simon Lake, the father of the
modern submarine. has suggested the
use Of the submarine for polar explora-
ton, for ferrying supplies across Ice.
bound rivers. for seeking sunken treas
ure. and for dredging oysters.
Experiments have demonstrated to
Mr.. Lakes satisfaction that when the
submarine is at the bottom Of the
ocean, the oysters can be sucked up
into 1t on the vacuum cleaner prin-
ciple. When traversing good ground.
the submarine will suck up 5000 BUSH
els Of oysters in an hour. This means
that in one hour mass of oysters
will be collected which, If compactly
piled. would require cylinder one and
three-quarters mile long to hold it.
The idea should be particularly useful
to the pearl-oyster fishers, as Of Cey-
Ion, for instance.

FOOD CONTROLLER Of
CANADA GIVES WARNING
Food Production Should Be IN
creased at AN Cost.

In his letter to the public on the
LIST Of January. Hon. w. ]. Hanna. Can
ada's Food Controller, says
Authoritative information has
reached me that food shortage In Eu-
rope Is terribly real. and only the
sternest resolve on the part Of the pro-
ducers. and equally stern economies on
the part Of all as consumers, can pos
aoly save the situation.
France last year had a crop be-
tween one-third and one-half that Of
q normal year. Women did the work
OF draught animals in q determined
enort to make the impoverished soil
OF France produce every possible ounce
OF food. They now look to us to make
up their deficiency Of essential sup
piles.
The harvest in Italy was far below
normal and will require much larger
supplies to feed her people until next
harvest.
1T Is impossible for the allies to
spare many cargo carriers to transport
foodstuf from India. Australia. New
Zealand and even the Argentine Repub-
lie. This means that the allied nations
are practically dependent upon North
America to supply them with the food
which must be forthcoming If terrible
suffering is to be avoided and the fight
ing efficiency Of the armies maintained.
"On December 1, the United States
had not a single bushel of wheat for
export. after allowance was made for
domestic requirements on the basis Of
normal consumption, and the United
States Food Administration is endeav-
oring to bring about a reduction Of 20
per cent In home consumption OF wheat
and flour. This would release 100000
OOO bushels for export. but the Allies
Will require nearly five times that
amount before the 1918 harvest.
Canada Is the only country in the
world. practically accessible to the Al
lies under present conditions Of ship
ping shortage, which has an actual ex-
portable surplus Of wheat after allow
ance for normal home requirements.
The surplus today is not more than
100000 bushels. A reduction of 20
per cent in our normal consumption
would save an additional 100000
bushels for export. The outlook for
production Of food stuffs in Europe
next year is distinctly unfavorable.
"Such Is the situation-grave beyond
anything that we thought possible a
few months ago. Unless our people
are aroused to a realization of what
the world shortage means to us. to our
soldiers and to our Allies, and Of the
terrible possibilities which it entails,
disaster Is inevitable.
"ProductiOn, too, must be increased
to the greatest possible extent. Pres
ent war conditions demand extraordi-
nary efforts, and every man, woman.

q national duty to do SO.
