URGE FTAX CULTIVATION.

Belfast, Ireland, Feb. II - The
British government soon will launch
a E10,O00,000 scheme for increasing
the cultivation of fax in Ireland, ow-
ing to the Importance of flax for the
manufacture of airDlane wings. Es-
Inmates by experts show that the
quantity of fax usually grown in Ire
land would not be sufficient in the
coming year for this and other de-
mands. Farmers who own land suit
able for the purpose will be offered
subsidies and the government prob
ably will secure in addition large
areas of land in the midlands and
south of Ireland. There is likely to
be scarcity of seed, and expert
ments are to be made with the use
of Canadian seed.

RED CROSS BUREAU.
TO SEND NEWS TO
FOLKS AT HOME
ERING INFORMATION
THROUGH PARIS OFFICE.
Details of Casualties at the Front
Given to Soldiers
Relatives.

TO give relatives of American SOL
diers details of casualties at the front
the American Red Cross has organized
at national headquarters Bureau of
Communication, of which William R.
Castle, Jr., formerly Assistant Dean
of Harvard College and editor of the
Harvard Graduates Magazine, is d.
rector. This Bureau supplements In
a personal and humanitarian way the
reports of the Statistical Division of
the War Department, which gives to
relatives official notice when a soldier
is reported killed, wounded or missing.
The anxiety which naturally results
from the official report to relatives
that soldier has been wounded or
is missing will as far as possible be
dispelled by the Bureau, which will
advise in detail the nature and extent
of the wound, and will gather evidence
from comrades in arms and at the hos
pitfalls and rest camps regarding those
reported missing"
Central Office in Paris.
Any Information of interest or con-
ISOLATION to relatives thus obtained will
be transmitted to them through per-
sonaI letters. Messages from the
wounded will be conveyed through
this same agency.
The information on which the Bu-
reau will base it's reports is gathered
through a central Office in Paris, under
the direction Of E. Gerry Chadwick
of New York, aided by the Rev. Robert
Davis of Englewood, n. j., and thirty
assistants.
With the increase of the American
forces and participation in the war,
this number will have to be greatly
increased.
For the present the Bureau is re-
porting on all cases that come to it's
attention. However, it is probable
that with the increase Of reports from
the front, information will be sent
only to relatives requesting it, except
in cases of those imprisoned or re-
ported missing"
Food For Prisoners.
There is a Red Cross service in
Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany
and Austria. In the London Office of
the British Red Cross more than two
hundred women are constantly en-
ployed in communicating with rela-
tives of soldiers and their card index
already covers more than three mil
lion cases reported on.
The Bureau will receive through the
International Red Cross office at
Geneva, Switzerland, the list of Amer
lean prisoners supplied officially by
the German government. In cases of
Imprisonment the Bureau reports to
relatives, after which the case is re-
ferred to the Red Cross Bureau OF
American Prisoners Relief, of which
Franklin Abbot is director.
The American Red Cross Commit
tee in Berne sends each American
prisoner, every two weeks, three ten
pound food packages. These subsfst-
ent stores are provided by the govern
ment and the American Red Cross. A
sufficient quantity Of supplies is now
on the way to Switzerland to care for
! 10000 American prisoners for a period
Of six months. This Bureau is also
the sole agency licensed by the Wal
Trade Board to transmit money tc
American and Allied prisoners in Ger
many.

How to Test Water Pipes.

, 1t is easy to test the plumbing in
your house. Just close all the faucets
and read the meter. If, after half
hour or more, the meter reads the
same as originally t1e pipes are Tree
from leaks. A hole slightly bigger
than the head Of pin will permit
5000 gallons to escape in day. Thus
ever so slight a hole may cause the
wastage of a great volume OF water if
it fails to receive Immediate atten-
ton.

are planning on attending the Lake
side sale Of Aberdeen Angus cattle
October 31st. This herd is one of the
Oldest in northwestern Iowa and has
produced many animals which would
rank up high With the best of the
breed. Recently Fred j. Roberts, of
Atlantic, was looking for an animal
which would be considered one Of the
best of the breed to place. at the head
of his good herd. After looking over
many he selected Black, Benz I'd from
the Lakeside herd as the best he had
seen, and paid $4,000 of real money
for him. In the sale October 31st ten
cows will sell with calves at side by
Black Benz I'd and many of the young
bulls and heifers were sired by him.
If you are in the market for good
beefy type of bull l do not know
where you could go to do better than
to the Lakeside herd. This herd was
established by M. A. Marten and the
son, Francis T. Marten, has carried
on the good work where the senior
Marten left off. Alvin V. Olsen, one
of Iowa's best young cattle men, is
associated with Mr. Marten and they
are certainly real pair to draw to.
