 A. F. Campbell, former woods sup erintendent for the Rutledge Lumber Company, was the first witness to tell of the "sab cat" practices of the I. w. w. in the woods of Idaho Pan- handle.

 Where we were skidding with donkey engines the logs were from three to five feet long. We had to cut off the ends into ties before the

 w. L. Amonett, secretary of the Panhandle Southwestern Stockmen's Association, says the cattlemen are all complaining because of a scarcity of labor on the cattle ranches. The army has drawn heavily on the ranches for men, especially the cav airy. The draft took many more while the moving picture companies have commandeered other cowboys to make the Western films.
 This has led to the older cattle men returning to the saddle for work on the range to take the place of the young men who have gone.

f A. Manville Naples. secretary to Val speakers bureau has just returned from New Orleans where he attended an ex- ecutive conference. He stated that the marvellous work being done by the Amer ican Red Cross was a revelation to him and the scope of it was amazing
 T saw 5000 layettes cut out and made in little more than day, and from the looks of the preparations of this organi- zation handling the affairs there are several years hard work before them. Notwithstanding the size of the New Or leans postoffice and the liberal space ac- corded them, the Red Cross is now plan ming to move into building one block in length with no room to spare,
 The building wher the gods made by the women of the Gulf division are received is more than one block in length and the shipments are so large that they often tax the capacity of the building to handle them.
 One of the most interesting things that came to my notice was the work of Louisa Ross, a negro nurse who has or ganized the negroes to care for the col StSN 'ohuANio JoSt liic Ntlltc ptpple do theirs. Through her efforts a can teen hut, shower baths, reading rooms, lunch stands, and various other things for the comfort of the soldiers passing through New Orleans have been estab- lished.
 During the recent epidemic of influenza when New Orleans hospitals were un- able to handle4the situation the Red Cross took charge of a shell of a building and wifi h in 70 had a al nf .lo ready to receive patients. There was some difficulty in securing nurses and Louisa succeeded in getting sufficient number to care flor the sick patients in the hospital. | have never seen such quick and efficient work in my life and l only wish that every person In Bir- mingham could just visit the Red Cross hea dnua rfers D
