RED CROSS DRIVE,
CONTINUED from naoe !

Citizens of Bottineau County who
were not subscribers to the last
loan will be asked to give as
much as their means will permit.
Committees will be appointed for
each unit and the regular polling
places will be used by these COM
mittees on the opening day of
the drive, unless other places
are designated. However, due
notice will be. given in each
unit by the local committee. At
these meeting places the citizens
will be given the option of pay
ing their subscription in cash or
giving a pledge card, providing
for payment of subscription in
two installments. The drive will
continue till Saturday, Sept. 7th.
to give the local committees time
to call upon those not appearing
at the meeting place, or who fail
to send their subscription.
Sunday, Sept. 1st., will be Red
Cross Sunday and every minis.
ter in the county will be asked
to devote a portion of his SER
mon to the work of the Red
Cross. It is urged that all at
tend church on that day.
1t is hardly necessary to pass
upon the merits of the work that
is being done by the Red Cross.
Our people are all agreed on that
question. Only two questions
enter into the proposition:
Method and amount. What
method shall we adopt and how
much can we give? The County
Chapter has had these two ques-
lions under consideration and
after mature elaboration has de.
cided on the method and amount
above stated. The amount thus
raised is deemed sufficient to
supply all the units in the county
with the necessary materials with
which to make the articles SC
much needed by our soldier boys
By supplying this money we get
the benefit of a vast amount Of
labor that cannot possibly be got,
ten in any other manner. This
kind of help is very materia.
help. But in order to get the
benefit of this labor we must
raise the cash for the necessary
materials. Financial conditions
are not Of the best, but we look
for Bottineau County to raise the
amount decided on. Let each
citizen do his part.

Through Great Britain.

A arrangement Of allied credits by
which the United States will lend
large amounts more directly to France.
Italy and the other allies instead of
through Great Britain, is under consid-

tend to lessen Great Britain's obliga-

the demands Of other allies on her.
Before completing the plan Secretary
McAdoo will consult with Oscar T.

on the interallied council, which has
supervised the distribution of loans and
other economic dealings between the

MAXIMUM PRICES PACKERS
MAY PUT ON BEEF ARE SET

Maximum prices to be allowed in May
on purchases Of beef for Americas fight
ing forces and the allies have been an
nounced by the Army. Navy and Marine
Corps. While the government controls
beef prices only to the extent Of saying
what 1t will pay. the purchases under
government direction are SO enormous
that the maximum figures now hxed are
expected to go far toward establishing
prices to the domestic consumer.
The plan Is to continue alloting gov
eminent and allied contracts among the
packers at prices based on prevailing
livestock markets. provided they are
not higher than the stated maximum.
On the other hand, IL there should be &
drop in the market, and no agreement
on prices has been reached In the mean
time, the Federal Trade Commission
will be called upon to ascertain costs on
which to base new maximum govern
ment prices.
Consolidation of all meat purchases
for the American government and the
allies for single bureau at Chicago

ministration. e. L. Roy of the admin

eye and speak for forty minutes in hio
