RED CROSS

Mrs. Peel and Mrs. Boyd OF
Lucy were in Estancia Tuesday
receiving instructions prepara-
tory to doing Red Cross work in
Lucy. Estancia is only too glad
to have Lucy as a branch, for as
the war goes on the demands are
greater each day.
Mr.. Winter of Denver. the
travelling auditor for the A. R. c..
was in Estancia from Saturday
afternoon until Monday noon.
He assisted in opening the coun-
ty ledger and found all past
records satisfactory.
Some Progresso women called
at the work room Monday.
The Red Cross held a very sue
cessful dinner Saturday in Mrs.
Armstrong; new store room.
$38. 81 was taken in. The com
mittee in charge is very thank
full to Mrs. Armstrong for the
use of her rooms; to the Woman's
Club for their dishes; to the Es-
tancia Lumber Co for the use of
tin cups, and to all those who
prepared food and helped.
Do not forget Liberty Day
Friday. 1t is earnestly request
ed that everyone hang out their
flags.
Mr.. Sherwood donated his car
last Wednesday and Mrs. Sher-
wood, Mrs. A. ]. Green, Mrs,
Barney Freilipger and Mrs. Ho-
mer Spitzmesser went to Pro-
gresso and organized a Red Cross
society. They have about a
dozen members, which is very
good as the community around
Progresso is very thinly populat-
ed. The ladies are all very anx-
ious to do their bit and will prove
good workers as a Torrance coun-
ty branch.
The box of clothing that was
collected for the Belgians was
sent last week, weighing 348
pounds. 1t cost 1924 to send it.
Barney Freilinger donated $1,00
of this amount, the remainder
being drawn from the local
budget.
There was a splendid attend
ance at the work room Tuesday.
1t is hoped that this keeps up.
Every woman in the town and
vicinity is urged to come. You
will find the work very interest
ing.
Our two weeks are up Monday
for gathering subscriptions for
the Holland Magazine. Our
solicitors are not positive as 10

THE THIRD
LIBERTY LOAN

The government calls for Three
Billion Dollars to be subscribed
by the people of the country on
the Third Liberty Loan.
Careful estimates have been
made and each state has received
its apportionment according to
its ability to subscribe. From
this apportionment amounts have
been assigned to the respective
counties and on down to pre-
cincts.
Estancia Precinct has been
called upon for S12, 10000 which
is its share according to popula-
ton and wealth, as nearly as
careful calculation can make the
estimate.
Other precincts in the county
have likewise been assigned their
quotas and many Of them have
already raised them with little
more for good measure. To date
we have subscribed less than
$8,000.00, or a little over half of
what we have been called upon
for, and we have only a short
time to raise the remainder.
Are we going to show the gov
ernment and the boys at the
front that we are with them to
the finish, or are we going to let
it be said that Estancia is a luke
warm community?
In this matter we can't be
neutral. We are either for the
government and the successful
prosecution of the war, or we
are against it.
You may be a loyal American,
but are you proving it?
Are you such loyal American
that you are willing to make per-
sonal sacrifices without limit in
order to win the war?
If you are not that, you are
not One Hundred Per Cent
American,
If you appreciate the fact that
you are a concrete unit of this
country, that it is just as much
yours as anyone's, then you
must realize that as a citizen you
have duties as we'll as privileges.
If you expect the government
to protect you against invasion
and autocracy, then you must
support it with your money and
your life if necessary, when it Is
trying to give you this protection
that you demand as right.
Maybe you can't afford it.
There are thousands Of people
in these United States who can't
afford it, but they are buying
just the same.
We can't afford this war
either, but it is a necessity which
has been forced upon US and it il
up to you to pay your share of it
The government would bt
wholly within its rights if it con
fiscated some of your property
but it isn't doing this. 1t il

The Sugar Situation.

The sugar shortaga will last until
the latter part of October or first of
November at least 1t has been an
nounced by government officials.
At that time beet sugar will come
on the market from western Kan
sas and Colorado. About Thanks
giving there will be sugar from the
Louisiana cane districts. !, The Gu
ban crop will not be ready until
Christmas or New Years. How
much relief could be exnected then
no one would state. Indications
for a bountiful crop of cane ana
beets are good, but it is impossible
to make accurate estimates. The
food administration, however, is
eager that canning without sugar
should be carried on extensively.
Some fruits require sugar but the
housewives are urged to use chiefly
those things which taFa a minimum
of sugar Driving of fruit is urged
as conservation measure at this
time. If the sugar restrictions are
relieved in the winter we can sweet

Your attention is directed to the
serious situation that confronted us
early this year on account of the
world shortage OF food there never

that the very best seed possible be
provided as now.
There is at this time scarcity Of
man power, and this will be greatly
tial that everything possible be done
to increase production with the
available man power. One hundred
per cent seed corn will very greatly
increase the production of corn per
man power in the state next year.
AS you we'll know, there is no old
or held over corn in the state. |
want to urge every farmer to save
enough seed corn now to supply his
lowing season. By doing this you
are rendering the greatest possible
patriotic service to your country.
Therefore, by virtue of the author
