Gift to Canadian Red Cross.
In recognition Of the part Canada
has played in the war for human lib
erty, the war council of the American
Red Cross has appropriated $500, 600
las a gift to the Canadian Red Cross.
The Gift is made without restrictions,
but with the expressed hope that it will
lbe found possible to use the contribu-
ltion for the relief Of Canadian SOL
|diers at the front.
The resolution Of the war council
providing for the appropriation de-
clares that the American people pro-
lfoundly and gratefully recognize the
devotion Of the Canadian people and
the armed forces Of Canada in the
great war, and are deeply apprecia-
tive of the spirit of heroism and self
~sacrifice with which so many Ameri-
cans have fought and died as members
of the Canadian forces during the
past years; and that 1t, therefore, il
highly appropriate that the American
Red Cross should extend to the Cam
adian soldiers a measure OF assist
ance toward their relief and comfort.
1t is declared further that such
tribute cannot be translated more ser
viceably or appropriately than by a
gift through the Canadian Red Cross,
and that it is the desire Of the Amer:
lean Red Cross to afford substantial
~o~o~u;k;ou rs W. sentiment nf
brotherhood and sympathy which pre-
vades this country in this present
crisis of human affairs.
In a letter addressed to Lieutenant
Colonel Noel G. L. Marshall, chair
man of council and executive commit
tee of the Canadian Red Cross So
ciety, the chairman of the wal coun-
Gil of the American Red Cross en-
closed a copy of the resolution pro-
viding for the gift, and added a per-
sonal assurance of the feeling of SYM
pathy and admiration, on the part of
the American people, for the part TAX
en- by the Canadian Red Cross and the
canadian people in the war in which
both peoples are now engaged.
Donates Farm.
An almost unequalled contribution
to the Red Cross was that of Mrs.
Ole Schulberg, Dunn Center, N. d.,
who recently donated her homestead
which covers 100 acres of good Dunn
county soil.
This sacrifice has been classed as
typically American as it illustrates
the spirit of the real American who,
in a time of crisis, returns to his
country that which it gave him when
it was opulent and safe.
Last February the northern division
of the Red Cross did a business Of
approximately 100000. .
A year ago there was no such
thing as the northern division Of the
Red Cross. Six months ago the
business that passed through the di.
vision headquarters in a month hat
a valuation of between $4,000 anc
100000. The entire business has
|grown to it's present proportions II
the last few months and is still grow
ing. At its present rate Of growth
the volume Of business transacted b!
%uation of 81, 00O, 900 a month befor'
next June.
According to figures announced b.
u. T. Gerould, division director of de
velopment, knitted articles and gar
ments valued at 1896, 582.16 passe'
through the division office from tn
various chapter, branch and %auxiliar,
organizations, for inspection and re
shipment to the front and the variou
camps and cantonments, in the mont
of February, the shortest month of tn
year.
In the same length of time surg
cal dressings and bandages wort
$82,411.45 were received at the div
sion headquarters, inspected and ser
on their way to Red Cross hospita,
at the front. Books Of the divisio
show raw materials delivered into tt
hands of the branch organization
: and not yet returned to the from
4 finished products, valued at $4,000
Thus the total volume of business i
dictated on the division books for Fe
ruary amounts to 1888 ,943.62.
In estimating this total ~valuatio
the prices of the various articles we
placed at a conservative figure. r
instance, a sweater was valued at
a pair of knitted socks at $1.25,
knitted helmet at a dollar.
More socks were made by the
vision workers in February than a
other article on the Red Cross Ii
There were 51,746 pairs of soc
shipped through the northern divisi
in the month. The number of swe'
ers shipped through the division
tailed 49,487, hospital bed shirts
