Must Help In East
Says DR.. Finley
DEPLORABLE CONDITION FOUND
IN PALESTINE BY REPRESEN-
TATIVE OF RED CROSS.

Relief work on far greater scale
than is now being administered by
the American Red Cross among the
civilian population of the Holy Land
is Immediately necessary IF thou
sands of men, women and children
are to- be saved. This fact is en-
phasized in a cable received at Red
Cross headquarters from DR.. John H.
Finley, Red Cross Commissioner for
Palestine, and Commissioner of Edu-
cation of the State Of New York.
One-third of the population of Leb-
anon died of starvation and disease
due to lack of nourishment. Many vii
lagos are depopulated and il ruins,
and thousands of persons are in the
direst need as the result of epidemics

lily to get work, according to DIR.
Finley. Families formerly in the
best of circumstances have been re-
duced to restitution. Everywhere the
people are clamoring for an opport-
unity to rehabilitate themselves.
Conditions IL many of the hospitals
are deplorable because of the short
age of physicians. More than 10000
sick civilians have been cared for by
the Red Cross in a single month and
Red Cross automobiles are transport
ing hundreds of wounded and sick
prisoners to the hospital every day.
There are 10000 American refugees
in and about Damascus and 5000
more in the Hauran district the cable
states.
DIR. Finley says the Red Cross work
ers have been doing everything to
relieve the distress, but adds that
greatly increased help must come at
once. He recommends that the Am
erican Red Cross send two addition
al hospital units to the Holy Land
as soon as possible. This recommen-
dation has been approved by General
Allenby, at whose request the British
War office has taken the matter up
with the Red Cross.
"America should be the first to
help in the rehabilitation of the Holy
Land which Great Britain and her AL
lies have redeemed says DR.. Finley.

Don't Cash Your
Stamps

1t has been learned that some of
the residents of Redwood County are
already cashing in their War Saving
Stamps and this practice is greatly
to be deplored. While it is perfectly
legal that these stamps be cashed in
at any time after ten days notice, it
is not patriotic to cash them il while
the government so badly needs the
money for it's reconstruction work and
people doing it (unless it is absolute
ly necessary to do SO to obtain the
essentials of life) are failing in their
duty toward their government almost
as greatly as though they had not
taken the stamps in the first place.
This money is very much needed and
will be for several months yet so if
there is any way possible for you to
hang on to your stamps, you will be
performing great service if you
will do it. Redwood County still re-
tains the fifth place in the state in
the purchase of w. S. S. but she can
not retain this place if many stamps
buyers demand the money for their
stamps. To buy stamps and then
turn them in, in short time, is a
cheap form of patriotism, a mere
imitation of the real thing. Keep
your stamps-they are a safe invest
ment.

CITY AND DISTRICT RAISES
S9773.7O IN UNITED WAR
FUND WORK CAMPAIGN.

While the campaign for the United
War Work Fund is still going on in
Redwood County and definite returns
are therefore not available, Judge A,
C. Dolliff, County Chairman states
that there is little doubt that the
county will reach at least $55, 900
The quota was S51 900 and the mar
gin is sufficiently wide to show that
the county as whole has done its
duty in this respect even though sew
eral individuals have baked and side
stepped at every turn That the
county has done its share is not be-
cause of these unpartiotic citizens,
but in spite of them and they are at
present in most unpopular minority
The campaign has been s. eatiy
delayed in the country districts be-
cause of the bad condition of many
roads. The influenza epidemic has
also been great drawback. How
ever, with conditions steadily improv-
ing, the campaign should close with
IN very short time.
In the Redwood Falls district, Which
consists of the city of Redwood Falls
and the townships of Redwood Falls,
Paxton and Homer and the village
of North Redwood, the campaign has
closed and Albert Asleson, chairman
of the district, reports the amount Of
S9973.7O to have been raised. OF
this amount S1253.00 was raised by

Socialists Fail
In Sunday Parade
CIVILIANS TEAR UP BANNERS,
BUT ARE DISPERSED
BY SOLDIERS.

There was no red flag demonstra-
ton in The Gateway at Minneapolis
Sunday and no speech by j. O. Ben
tall convicted disloyalist.
Several thousand spectators, the
Fourth and Sixth Minnesota infantry
regiments, the Minneapolis and St.
Paul battalions of the Motor Corps
two squads of policemen, agents of
the Department of Justice, deputy
sheriffs, and a little procession-a
mere handful of radical, professional,
agitators, were there.
A crowd estimated at $4,000 per-
sons, was ii The Gateway or facing
it from either Nicollet or Hennepin
avenues, at o'clock, the hour at
which the demonstration advertised
by the Socialist party of Minnesota
and Hennepin county was advertised
to begin.
Sheriff Otto Langum's order, pro-
hibftilg the demonstration, the def
ance issued on Saturday by the So
cialists, and the taking over of the
entire situation by the Governor, are
thought to have b en- responsible for
the gathering in such large numbers.
Sheriff La1gum, when word was
brought to him last week that a red
flag demonstration was to be held,
and that Bentall, convicted of draft
obstruction and disloyalty, and nom
mated by the Socialists for governor
was to be speaker fatty forbade
the meeting. He issued an order to
that effect.
The socialist party of Minnesota
and Hennepin county issued a def
ance to the sheriff on Saturday. The
defy was as follows.
"Extra-Sheriff Langum to be de-
fled. Mass demonstration and meet

of his orders. The short witted hire

people have stood various encoach-

Epidemic Continues

DR.. S. L. Leonard, chairman of the
Redwood Falls Board of Health, re-
ports that Monday there were between
twenty-five and thirty cases of in
fluenza in Redwood Falls although
not many serious ones. No new cas-
es were reported Sunday or Monday
but the cases reported last week were
from two to four each day. Four
were reported Saturday. The ban
on all public meetings will hold good
for the remainder of this week at
least and possibly longer. There will
be no Thanksgiving services in the
chur'hes and possibly no services
next Sun. If conditions continue fav-
orable throughout the week churches
will open next Sunday and possibly
the schools Monday. DR.. Leonard
states that this matter is entirely I'M
decided, however as no chances will
be taken of spending the contagion
by opening public places until the
danger has entirely abated. Stores
and other business places remained
closed Saturday evening as they have
for the past several weeks. There
were many out-of-town people here
during the day for the first time
since the influenza first visited Red
wood Falls.

More Flour May
Now Be Purchased
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR AUTHOR
lies SALE OF NINETY-DAYS
RATIONS.

w. G. Weldon, Food Administrator
for Redwood County, Monday mailed
to all the food administrators of the
county the following letter relative
to the purchase of ninety-day sup
ply of flour, the supply to be based
upon a ration of twelve pounds for
each member in the family The let
ter, which is self-explanation and of
general interest to all residents of
the county is printed below.
From and after the receipt of
this letter, it is permissible for consul
mers to purchase 80 day supply Of
wheat flour
eve have noticed some criticism to
our regulations, allowing only 30
day upply of wheat flour in the past
and l believe that you have heard some
such criticism.
"The Food Administration did not
limit the supply of wheat flour to
any particular time, Tut did limit it
in this respect, that they asked US
to curtail the sale of wheat flour
as much as possible, to the immed-
late needs of the general public. l
thought the simplest method was to
limit the flour sales to 80 day sup
ply secifying II pounds to the person
to be sufficient for 80 days. My pur-
pose in thus limiting it was two fold.
first to conserve the sale and limit
the amount of wheat flour that might
be used, and second to save the con-
sumner any possible chance of loss
as would surely occur, had we allowed
them to law in their Wi 1tpr SUNNY
two months ago.
81 had several calls in September
from people wishing to lay in their
winter supply which | refused. Had
l permitted them at that time to buy
their supply, they would have been
required to purchase SO per cent sub
stitutes. Shortly thereafter, the linn
it was reduced to 20 per cent substi-
tutes, and on November 10, all sub
stitutes for wheat flour were remov-
ed believe that now people who
understood our motive in holding them
to 80 day supply, will appreciate
what we did for them"
Mr. Weldon, in taking with the
Gazette, supplemented the above by
remarking that conservation of flour
and all other food stuffs is still urged
and that all households will govern
themselves accordingly. Mr.. Weldon
also stated that powdered sugar may
now be obtained on the same basis as
brown and graduated sugar. Three
pounds per person may now be pur-
chased and after December / four
pounds per capita may be purchased.
