The nation-w vide campaign for an
increased acreage Of grain might be
assumed to have little bearing on
the agriculture Of Cook county but,
in view Of war conditions with re-
.sulting food regulation and prices, it
can be shown that there are numer-
Gus reasons both economic and pa
triotic why the farmers Of the coun-
ty should make every effort to seed
the largest possible acreage Of grain
the coming spring. z - - -...=z -....z.
The high prices Of mill feeds and
transportation charges make it alb.
solutely necessary that grain be
grown locally if dairy and other live
stock are to be handled profitably.
Up to the present the county has
depended practically entirely upon
other sections for mill feeds and
lours. This condition has been large
ly due to the lack Of threshing and
milling facilities. The latter need
has already been supplied in one set
tlement and there is little reason to
doubt that with the certainty of
custom work for such an outfit all
the settlements would soon be
equally well provided.
The whole wheat flour made by
such mills, when mixed with the pro-
per percentage of white or so called
patent -four, makes bread which is
more wholesome and preferable to
that made from patent -four alone.
+ In view of the threatened scarcity
of breadstuffs the farmers will be
wise to provide for as large a part
of their future -four needs as posi-
BILE. Such action will also be a very
practical form of patriotism, for ev-
cry bushel of wheat grown in the
county will mean a bushel less need
ed from outside sources and, there
fore, a bushel released for Use in
warstricken Europe. -, f.
The writer, as county agen, will
be glad to be of any possible as
sistance to. farmers who have not al
ready secured their seed grain or
other seeds for the coming spring.

County Agent.

 "Kultur' is not a war play In the sense that we think of such in connec- ton. with battle scenes and the hor- TOTS of war. It's theme is based on the fact that lead up to the war. It lays bare the diplomatic intrigues and the household scandal of Hun Royal ty. The sensational romance of the mistress of Emepror Franz Joseph re- veals the fact that it was largely through her influence and petty jeal- ousies that the first warlike act was committed by the Teuton Powers- that of the aSSa aSsination of Arch-Duke Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne. The role woman played in this awful tradegy that threw the entire world into war is exposed in William Fox's production, "Kultur," presented at Fox's for three days, commencing to morrow

AMERICAN RED GROSS NOTES

something like $50, O,o00 men, the new twenty one year olds, were enrolled; and now the fourth registration which Congress has just authorized includes 3,000,000 more up to forty-fiTe yeara of age and down to eighteen. That will leave in the country only about five million able-bodied men; the rest will be boys and gray-heads.
 At first glance the biggest thing about the draft appears to be it's size, but great as that is. the numbers are hardly as remarkable and as significant as the fact that the people raised their own army. Every town, city and county nominated its best men, and they were put in charge. No mighty federal war machine com posed of army officers was sent from Washington and intruded everywhere into the frame work of local govern ment.
 At the Capitol Provost Marshal Gen cral CroWder with a, force of forty of- fcers perfected the plans and directed the work assisted by five hundred clerks mostly women. The selective draft was put into effect by thirty thousand civilian officers and was ad- ministered doy home town people. friends and neighbors. It Was the finest demonstration ever made of local self government.
 As to tho cost it is to be noted that the bill for the draft is far less per man than for volunteering. In 1914 it cost S24.4S for recruiting a man into the volunteer system in 1915 it was $t9.14, and for the nine months just before we went to war it was $2S.9o. During the first year of the war down to the seventh of April, 1918, official reports show that the cost of registering each man was s1.69, and the cost for each man accepted for service came to $493
 The appropriations for the Provost Marshal Generals office were s19,134,- 903, and the expenditures were $15,4 564634.40 and including among it's largest items the salaries of local and district draft boards. $4,210, 900; sal aries of clerical assistants to district and local boards, $3.900.0o0 and $2,- 54S, ,413 was spent for printing and other expenses
 Our Army is, every American be- lieves, the finest body of human be- ings the sun ever shone on. It is fit to fight that the world may be made safe for democracy, and it is built strictly on the lines of democracy. The millionaire and the hum blest laborer march side by side. Officers are drawn from every walk in life. No man is exempted because he is rich. None are drafted because they are poor Men are measured by their willingness or their capacity. Past or caste, or creeds are not taken into account.
 Thus the selective draft has become a badge of honorable service.
 Sincerely yours, ss

 755 Boylston St,

bOSLO0, Mass, Mrs. A. C. McKinnie
 Chairan WOman's Board
 American Red Cross,
 New Britain, Conn.
 Dear Mrs. McKinnie:
 We have received your letter of Sept 3rd in regard 10 outfitting New Britain boys at Camp Devens. There is a large supply of knitted material al Camp Devcns in charge of the Quartermaster. During the material has been distributed; to give out sweaters, etc, to boys during that time would have been nothing less than total waste of valuable material
 When the Quartcrmaster thinks it advisable to make this distribution, Private Levine of the 301st Inf. as we'll as all the other boys in camp who are in need of knitted articles, will surely be remem bered, As the weather is becoming cooler, this will probably take place in a short time. Yours very truly
 (Sgned) Robert H, Hallowell,
 Director of Military Relief To All Red Cross Chapters:
 Early in the summer Secretary Baker announced that there were 100000 troops in Europe. Imme- diately a German war official pro claimed to the German people that this statement of MT. Bakers was not true, because it could not be true. He said we didn't have an army of that size, and that if we had it would have been impossible for us to have sent the men, to Europe because of our lack of ships, and that even had we boats enough to carry them. the German submarines would have sent them to the bottom before they reached their ports of destination. He concluded this remarkable house that-Jackbuilt statement with the as surance that German soldiers would never have anything to fear from American soldiers.
 Our enemy looked on with sneers and jeers and contempt, followed by fear and panic, while Democracy built an army. Our Allies watched with hope and with doubt, while demo- cracy turned it's citizens into soldiers and sent the finished product to the battle fronts of Europe.
 You will remember the 5th of June a year ago. when between dawn and dark ten million men--to be ex- act, 9,5S6,508 men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one, were enrolled for military service, how within weight hours practically all registration returns were assem- bled by telegraph here at Washington.
 The same process was repeated last June and again in August, when
