Commencing August LIST a new plan
is to be adopted by the local Red Cross
chapter which it is hoped will be an
incentive to workers to give more of
their time. A complete record of
hours spent in Red Cross work is to
be kept and general service bars
awarded accordingly. The following
is the scale:
On competition of 4 months service,
provided this shall include not less
than 200 hours; first bar without star.
On completion of 600 additional
hours within any period (total not to
exceed less than 500 hours) this bar
may be exchanged for first bar, n
star at each end.
On completion of 500 additional
hours within any period (total not
less than 1900 hours) this bar may
be exchanged for first bar, two stars
at each end.
On completion of 500 additional
hours within any period (total not
less than 2400 hours) this bar may be
exchanged for first bar, three stars at
each end, etc. etc.
Each star awarded indicates not less
than 500 hours work and a five star
bar indicates not less than 1000 hours
work.
On completion of 500 additional
hours (total not less than 1890 hoursl
a new one star bar may be awarded
to be worn in association with and
below the five-star bar which is re-
tanned by the worker and not return
ed in exchange for the new one-star
bar. Subsequent awards shall be
made by means of a third bar and
fourth bar, etc, in the same manner
Self-supporting- working persons
who give services to the Red Cross
may be granted general service bars
after giving one-fougth the time re-
Quired by the regular schedule.
A plan is being worked out by the
chapter whereby a worker shall be
allowed a certain number of hours
upon the completion of a sweater, pain
Of socks, etc. The chairman of each
cutting committee will be responsible
for the time each worker puts in.

The wheat crops in the famed Big
Bend country of eastern Washington
have not prospered this year. J. F.
Kosanke in the past few weeks has
been over a considerable part of that
great wheat growing section of our
%neighboring state and brings back the
report that the excessively hot wealth
er has burnt the wheat to such an
extent that the acre average has been
reduced so that it will be not more
than from two to eight bushels. The
rains came altogether too late. Such
famous wheat districts as the Odessa
and Ritzville sections are included in
the Big Bend country. and the crops
there have suffered as hard as any in
that section of the state. MIR. Ko-
sanke states that in Odessa and Ritz
vile the farmers are now paying from
$25 to $50 per OF for baled alfalfa
hay. In one case a farmer paid S26 a
ton for baled oat hay, bought in car
load lot. The barley crop in the Pa
louise country. as well as around Wal
Ia Walla. is the shortest in a good
many years.

Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Davis and Mr..
and Mrs. Art Newland returned Tues
day from an outing in Yellowstone
park. They made the trip over the
Ashton route, and between that town
and the park they travelled through
incessant rains and over extremely
muddy roads. In many places the
mountain roads were full of exposed
rocks, making progress very slow.
Tourists to the park this season find
the regularly established hotels of
the park closed. the government hay
ing declined to issue permits for
their opening. The visitors have to
be content with log dining rooms and
small sleeping tents nearby, unless
they bring along their own tents. The
bears in the park this year are not re-
ceiving their regular rations of refuse
from the hotels and as a result some
of them are becoming SO bold in their
f%oraging that the soldiers on guard in
the park now and then have to exc
cute some OF them.
