ments have been made by which
valuable information regarding
any question pertaining to the
allotment, allowance, compensa-
ton or insurance can be prompt
ly secured for the families of the
men in any branch of war SER

Most important is the fact that
information concerning men in

be prisoners, can be secured more
promptly and more accurately
through the Red Cross mediums
than in any other way.
Families of men in the service
from Morgan county should COM

ecutiye Secretary of the Civilian
Relief Committee Of the Morgan
County Chapter of the Red Cross

War SerDice Council
Appoints City Chairman
and Working Con1niitee

The War Service Council which was
formed week ago has now appointed
the chairmen of its committees and
is rapidly getting into shape for ef-
fective work. This society is COR
r.,atel with tie Council of National
Defense. There are, in each state,
councils which ae subordinate to this
council. The one in Minnesota is
known as Public Safety Commission.
This National Council has womanS
committee which is in Minnesota the
Women's Auxiliary Committee tosthe
Safety Commission. This committee
is subdivided into county, district, and
city committees. Mrs. III. S. Halver-
son is chairman of the Stearns County
committee; Mrs. Thomas Sullivan is
district chairman, of which Sauk
Centre, Melrose and the adjacent
townships are part; Mrs. J.33iA.
Caughren is city Chairman. The
committee and departments working
with Mrs. Caughren were appointed
at meeting Tuesday and are as fol-
lows: Women and Industries, Mrs. A.
L. Blk; Food Conservation, Miss E. L.
Sprague; Child Welfare, Mrs. A.
Markuson; Patriotic Education, Mrs.
C. w. Rotert; Americanization, Miss
Annabel Erwin; Maintenance of Soc
ial Existing Agencies, Mrs. E. E.
Compton; Liberty Loans, War Saving
Stamps, etc, Miss Annabel Emerson;
Publicity, Mrs. Thos. Sullivan, Miss
Helen Rich. This board is to meet on
stated occasions and report proceed
ings.
1t would seem that, in some cases,
the duties of this committee encroach
upon those of others. Such is not the
case. The object is for one organiza-
tion to work with the other, thus lift
ing burdens from one another and
making the machinery of war time
necessities run with all possible speed
and ease. AS time goes on, the diff
ficulties, which seem rather confusing
just now, will clear away. The work
on hand is tremendous in it's pro-
portions; all whole hearted assistance
possible is needed.
