ruwed $500. O0O.0 600 in the form of

OF money.
There are two ways in which the

one is by taxation and the other by

by taxation would place a heavy bur

should pay some Of It. There is only one
way in which this can be done. and
that is by the sale Of bonds which will

THE MORENC|
 RED CROSS

The members of the Red Cross So- ciety in Morenci are much interested in the fact that one-quarter or the money collected in the drive begun on Monday will be used to buy ma terials for the Morenci Branch, Hi surfing plenty of work in our homes and work room.
 We have been able to accomplish no mean amount of work in the past The interest manifested in Red Cross work here is most gratifying. Any community might be proud of the cheerful, efficient band of workers we have in Morenci, but Morenci is not satisfied with a second rate showing along any line and we must have more workers, and that right away We feel sure that many have not given the Red Cross work ser1ous consideration from personal stand point, nor have they realized that as members of the society they should take more than a passing interest. We are unfortunate here in not hav- ing any paid instructors or superv,s- OrS who give all Ol InOlI IiIiS 1O NN Red Cross. room Thus the time which might be given by those most interested to calling on new people and soliciting their aid must be speut in the work room or in their homes' that our little branch may be on the man at all. We wish to make very definite announcement that every wo- man in Morenci is cordially invited to her place in the work room or home work. if she so desires. We have no distinctions of class, creed or nation ality. Single, married, divorced or widow. you are welcome if you wish to help in the most humane instItn- ton on earth today.
 Before June 1st we wish to estao- fish a pledge system, now in vogue Tn many places. A record will be kept Of inc number of hours each member gives, and the popular pledge is four hours a week. If the work is done at home the amount of work would show in the time spent, excepting in the case of the beginners in the knit ting department. There are garments all cut out that you may carry home, with a ready made garment as sam ple. These garments are simply hsade and so well cut that anyone who sews at all can make them. The room at

We have been asked how long or when this room is to he closed during the summer ard thc answer is: Not one day. It is open from nine to twelve d. m., and from two to five ?. m., Mon day, Tuesday and Thursday evenings from seven to nine thirty. Several men have been coming on Thursday evening for weeks. Now they are al so invited on Mondays, and if suff:- cient numbers gave in theIr names, the room will be opened Friday even- ings as well. We have four sewing machines, and some evenings all of these have been kept busy while the surgical dressing tables were well filled. We find that the work done by the men is most satisfactory and de- cidedly above the average.
 We have always a sufficient number of women in the room to keep them in order and direct their conversation in proper channels. We could not sug- gest more desirable place for the men whose families have gone away for the sumer, to spend their evenings
 Mrs. Dunbar has had a class of Mexican and Italian girls and women every Tuesdy night She has super vised their work carefully and they have been most painstaking. The re- suits have been very gratifying, and they have formed themselves into a club with the idea of raising money for the Red Cross.
 Mrs. Work wishes me to announce that she has received shipment of sock yarn, which is of such excellent quality that she would like to knit it all herself if she had time, but she hasn't. She or one of her assistants will be in the Red Cross room every afternon to give out yarn for sweat CTS, helmets and wristlets as we'll aA the socks, and they furnish the need les. If you do not know how to knit they will teach you, and Mrs. Donahue has even signified her will ingness to knit the heel or toe in the socks for beginners.
 Another interesting feature of our work at present is the making of com fort kits for our own boys about to go over seas. The khaki bags with pockets are made in the work room, or these can be taken home to be made. A sample will be furnished. The material for filling the kits will be bought by committee, of which Mrs. Minor Roscoe is chairman, and

 It is a well known fact that our soldiers are face to face with an ene- my who has no regard for the sancti ties of life, and no mercy for the weak and helpless. As people we are facing the most colossal peril this world has ever known. In com parison to the great issues at stake nothing else matters very much. There are so many things we would like to do-hand embroidery, crocheting and fine sewing, but these can wait untlr the wounds of our soldiers are dress ed and suitable hospital supplies pro- vided for the sick, and warm garments knitted for those who face all kinds of weather.
 We must do not what we convei. iently can, but all we possibly can do. This is not a spasmodic effort. We may have to work steadily, sanely and cheerfully for long time. How ever long the struggle, won't you help the Red Cross in Morenci to see ;t through?

FARMERS TO MAKE
MILL FEED PLEDGE
ALL ARE REQUESTED NOT TO
EMPLOY WHEAT PRO-
DUCTS

Farmers throughout he United
States have been requested by the
United States Food Administration to
sign mill feed pledge in order to
stave off serious situation which
confronts the United States and its
Allies
Every buyer of wheat mill feeds.
outside of the acute drought stricken
area, is requested to sign the pledge
of honor not to use the wheat mill
feeds for any purpose except for essen
tial use in dairy, young pigs and pOul-
try production and not to purchase or
hold at any one time more than sixty
days supply Unless this careful and
special use of mill feeds can be OBJ
tanned dairy production in the congest-
ed eastern area of the United States
is bound to fail and jeopardise the
food supply in that section Unless
this is done it will be necessary to re-
lease the price restriction on all mill
feeds and allow them to take their
natural course.
The Food Administration, through
Judge c. b Ames, Federal Food Ad-
ministration for Oklahoma, has re-
Quested the mills and all dealers in
feed to obtain from those buying
wheat mill feeds the following pledge:
I'm order to assist the Food Ad-
ministration in the distribution OF
mill feeds, ! hereby undertake on
honor not to use wheat mill feeds
for any other purpose than the feed
ing of dairy cattle, poultry, young
pigs or young calves, or the prepara-
tiOn of a weekly bran mash for
work animals. ! will not feed any
more mill feeds than is customar-
lily fed to such animals and | fur
ther agree not to have at any one
time more than so day supply Of
wheat feeds on hand"
The Food Administration is also re-
questing the mills and feed jobbers to I
distribute their wheat mill feeds in .
such a manner that each state receives
the same proportion OF the mills or
5abber's shipments as it received in /
the corresponding quarter Of 1917.
"Owing to the extension of the
drought area, shortage of corn crop.
larger animal population OF the coun-
try and the allied demands upon us
for feed stuffs for their own animals.
because of their own shortage of pro-
duction and feed crops, it is necessary
that we should exert every effort in
the. proper conservation of feed stufs
during the next twelve months" said
Judge Ames in requesting the pledge.
ut is necessary that we should ship
a larger proportion of wheat as com
pared with -four during the next
twelve months than during the last
twelve months to the allied countries.
