TO LIMIT OVERSEAS MAIL
Many Unnecessary Articles Being

Unnecessary articles sent by rela-
tives and friends to American soldiers
overseas are taking up so much trans
portation space, both in ships and on
the congested French railroads, that
drastic curtailment Of the parcel post

will have to be enforced unless the
public co-operates in deducing the
volume Of this class Of mail.
The postoffce department, in max
ing this announcement said a trans
port reaching France this month car
ried besides ISL, $40 letters, 333, ,485
pieces Of parcel post and newspapers,
the whole taking up 1900 cubic feet
of space, although weighing only
1914 tons. Theparcel post packages
and newspapers filed nineteen French
railroad cars, and as cars are badly
needed in France for war purposes,
mail frequently has to wait at French
ports for several days before means Of
transportation is available.

tents Of parcel post packages for the
soldiers, the statement said, showed
two-thirds Of the articles are on Gen

RED CROSS
NEEDS HELP
Local Chapter Appeals for Workers
TO Make Surgical Dressings.

The Gem County Red Cross a few
days ago shipped out a box contain
ing $3.50 surgical dressings. Did you
help with it? This question should
come home with force to every woman
in this community. Are you doing your
duty in this great crisis? In view of
the enormous demands being made up
on the Red Cross of America for need
ed articles, Mrs. V. T. Craig, chair
man of the surgical dressings depart
ment, makes the following appeal:
Our allotment from headquarters
next month is two boxes of a differ
ent kind of dressing than we have
yet made. We expect to meet it. In
the meantime we will finish the work
we have begun and be ready for the
new work when the material arrives.
We need your help. It's long ways
from Emmett to Europe, but as sure
" as the long arm of American Red
Cross reaches over there, just as sure
ly are we part of it.
This is no work for faddists,no more
than is the training of millions of men
into soldiers to fight, to die, and we
should settle down to Red Cross work
with the earnestness, system and
sacrifice of the American soldier fight
ing for us over there. We should do
this work for him. 1t is all we can
do to show our appreciation. Come to
the Red Cross surgical rooms If
YOU can't come to the work room you
can knit. If you can't knit you can
sew. Surely every woman is capable
Of doing some part of this great work.
If you've not tried come and talk 1t
over.
