THE RED GROSS

The meaning of the Red Cross
is explained by DR.. Mae Cracker
of Vassar, as follows: "The red
in our cross stands for sacrifice,
for giving life, as the war, crim-
son blood gives life to the body.
The cross had the same length on
all four sides of it's arms, to signi-
fly that it gives life to all, high or
low, east or west. 1t stands alone
always, no words or markings on
it, to show that the Red Cross
workers have only one thought
to serve. They ask no questions,
they care not whether the
wounded be ours or of another
people, their duty is to give, and
to give quickly. The Red Cross
stands ON a white ground, because
real sacrifice can come only from
pure hearts. Service must come,
not from hate, but from love;
from the noblesk thoughts and
wishes of the heart, or it will
fail"

MORE LIVE STOCK

To meet the war needs of the
country, sheep and cattle will be
grazed on the National Forests in
increased numbers this year. Half
a million more sheep and nearly a
quarter of a million more cattle
will be taken care of than last
year, according to the officials Of
the Forest Service. This will
bring the total number of stock
grazed under permit to about
nine million sheep, $4,000 head
of cattle, and 81 900 swine.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage In ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January I, Australia had
stored 100000 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of SO,0OO,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 10000, 900 bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
5O,OOO,OOO bushels more out OF
the new. crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels Of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135, 1000. 900 to
the left over.
1t Is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world-it Is entirely a problem
Of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation Of divid.
Ing our stock with the Allies.
