The Alpine Singers and Yodlers,

the high school lyceum course at the

night, were greeted by q large audi

was first-class in every particular, it
being of the kind that is bound to
please, and was of a nature that is
different from the entertainment fur
nished by the average concert COM
pany. Should this company make a
return engagement to our city at
some future date, it is suffice to say
that they would be greeted by anoth-
er large audience. The next number
of the high school lyceum course is
the Mildred Morrison Company,
which will appear at the high school
auditorium next Saturday night, jan
uary 18th. This company comes here
highly recommended, and no doubt
will furnish high class entertain

TRACTORS TO HELP
IN FOOD PRODUCTION

The national government is urging
the increase of production in practi-
cally all farm crops. To aid in this
work it is necessary to do more and
more work by machinery. For farm
operations it is therefore necessary
to use tractors as much as possible.
Every farmer who has been short of
man help or horses should consider the
tractor as profitable investment. In
order to profitably use tractor he
should be sure he can operate trac-
tor or hire competent engine man.
All tractors now owned should be
used to their fullest capacity either
on the owners farm or on the neighbor
farm. To aid in this work tractor
survey is being made to get the names
of all tractors owners in the state.
Enough has already been done to rem
der some help. Between 600 and 700
names have been secured.
The names of tractor owners in a
community may be obtained by ad-
dressing the writer. Thus the man
needing tractor help may come in con-
tact with the tractor owners in his
vicinity. It is hoped in this way to in
crease the working time of the trac-
tor. Instead of leaving the tractor
idle use it in neighbor's field.-E.

lege, Fort Collins, Colo.

The Red Cross does not sell sweat
ers, socks, wristlets, helmets or any
other knitted articles, nor does it sell
any of the articles manufactured by
the ladies of the United States for
the Red Cross. This is only one of
many stories circulated about the Red
Cross which are absolutely untrue and
which appear to be part of very gen.
eral, widespread German propaganda.
There are several stories of the sort
being generally circulated, but altho
we have had the best detective talent
in the country working gratis to dis
cover their source, we have been un-
able to find any foundation of facts
upon which they might be based. The
very calibre and the integrity of the
men at the head of the Red Cross
should be proof enough that the work
is carried on properly, fairly and hon.
estly.

 In the last few days Mr. Heard has received a very important letter and wire from Mr Barnes on this subject. and in response to an inquiry asking if a carefully prepared digest might not be given publicity for the benefit of wheat produCcrs, was yesterday au- thorized by Mir. Barnes to give such publicity. and thereupon issued the fol- lowing statement:
