SIGN UP YOUR ACREAGE

The directors of the Farmers Pro-
tective Association, as selected at a
recent meeting of the water users
of the Tract, are doing everything
possible to hasten the completion of
the organization, but are running
into few difficulties which are de-
laying them a little in the final mat
ter OF incorporationg. These mat
ters have all been attended to and it
only remains now for the required
time to elapse before the completion
of the corporation. In the mean
time in order to save time the direc-
tors have forms prepared so that
any who wish to join can sign up.
The initial assessment has been de-
cided upon as 10 cents per acre and
every settler is asked to call on any
one of the nine directors and sign
up in the organization. As the di-
rectors are anxious to complete this
organization as soon as possible they
ask that all call and sign at once 10

Pm CROSS NOTES ~
~,

The Red Cross rooms are again
open for work after being closed for
four or five days.
Great credit is due the women in
the country for the good work they
are doing in this busy harvest sea-
son for the Red Cross II surely
means some sacrifice on their part
The fifty comfort kits are complet-
ed and will be sent In this week
1t is hoped more of the young
women OF Jerome will enroll in the
Student Nurses Reserve. Three have
already enrolled. You can register
with Mrs. L. NJ Zug at the Rialto
Theatre during the evening or at the
Red Cross room during the day. The
different classes in which one can
enroll were described In last weeks
paper. This is as important as II
Is for the men to register.
The Red Cross calls attention to
the fact that First Aid certificates
cannot be issued to any persons eX-
cepting those taking the course reg
ularly authorized by the American
Red Cross. Full information as to
the proper method of procedure in
this behalf is obtainable at all times
at chapter headquarters.
Mrs. Hineman has succeeded IN
raising sufficient funds to- purchase
one of the best makes of knitting
machines for the Jerome chapter
She desires to thank all who so gen
erously and courteously contributed
to this fund and helped her raise I
so quickly. This machine will be
very great help In the work of tho
