RED CROSS PRODUCTION
ON Allotment SYSTEM

The local Red Cross circle is out
Of work and the ladies have not
been holding their regular meetings
at headquarters the past two weeks
as they have no material to work
with.
1t. seems that the ladies have been
so Industrious that they have drain
ed the source of supply and are now
put on the allotment system. Re-
garding this G. F. Scott, acting gen.
eral manager Of the American Red
Cross, says:
''The wonderful energy and devo-
tion of the women of the country
working through the Red Cross has
established a manufacturing enter
prise, the capacity Of which has no
apparent limit. The remarkable vol
unteer organization made possible
the production of an immense re-
serve stock of articles. The rate of
production thus attained has pro-
vided ample supplies of almost all
kinds of articles, but some articles
have been produced, while there
was insufficient quantities of other
articles. Everything produced has
been Of positive value, an diff there
was no limit to the amount of ina
terials available, and the shipping
space which might be used to trans
port the finished articles, the policy
of almost unlimited production
might be justified. But there is a
very definite limit to the resources,
both Of material and transportation,
and so it is not only wise but neces-
sary to put the entire Red gross5pro-
duction on the basis of the best es-
Inmates Of the needs, as regards all
necessary articles >% I

WOOD; Profitable FARM CROP

Firewood is expected to bring a
better profit this year than ever be-
fore. 1t is a much less perishable
crop than many which the farmer
raises. When properly piled, the bet
ter kinds of wood will last from two
to three years, although wood stead
lily deteriorates after the first year.
To have the best heating value as
we'll as to reduce the cost ST hauling,
wood should be thoroughly seasoned,
which means air-drying it from six
to eight months. However, when
piled so as to get a good circulation
of air, so per cent of the moisture
may be removed in three months.
Wood cut in October and November,
therefore, may be burned the latter
part of the winter.
The prices which cordwood likely
will bring this year offer the farmer
an opportunity to improve his wood
land by wedding out the inferior
trees. In the past this has seldom
been practicable, for the inferior
wood was not marketable. With the
prices indicated for the coming win
ter, Trimmings become practicable
over wide range of country in the
vicinity of good markets. The wood
land owner may secure specific in
formation from his state forester,
his. county agen, his State agricult-
ural college, or from the United
States Forest Service, Washington,
D. C..

The banks must not be asked to take up these bonds
the individual people of the county must buy them
And we know that the people will do it both because
they must and because it is the patriotic thing to do
That being the case all ought to subscribe at the
earliest possible moment Nothing is to be gained by
putting the matter off until the last minute great
dealO credit would to if oversubscribed our
quota in the first week or ten days of the campaign,
While will not be entitled to any special credit If we
take the full three weeks allowed to make our subscrp
ton
We are going to win this - we are winning 1t
right and we are winning it with the lives OF our
boys
But the longer we delay in meeting the obligations
that the has assigned to u.s. the longer we
will be in winning the war - AND THE LONGER IT
TAKES TO WIN THE WAR THE MORE OF OUR
BOYS THERE ARE WHO WILL LOSE THEIR LIVES.
Certainly with that in mind there can be no excuse
for delaying subscriptions.
Buy Liberty Bonds. Buy as many as you can pos
sicily pay for within the next twelve months Buy them
