Ida Grove Pioneer: E. N. Bush, of
northern Garfield township, brought
a single load of wheat to the mill at
Ida Grove last Thursday for which
he received $9G.S2, having 4S bushels
in the load. He had ten acres in
wheat which went 20 bushels to the
acre. Weaver Chisholm, a neighbor
Of his. obtained an average of 241s
bushels of wheat from u acres. Oliver
Crum. who has been farming part Of
the Yousling section south of town,
threshed his wheat and oats last week
and obtained 27H bushel average
from his twenty acres of wheat and
a good oats yield. He also has a big
patch of very fine corn which he and
his father, D. o. Crum, have taken
care of this past season.

The work of women

In all the volunteer service Of Red Cross none

that there are two million Of these women, many
giving most of their time to this work. all giving

Of Red Cross; its surgical dressings, hospital gar
ments, knitted garments. To meet the demand
for these articles. appropriations Of S11 900 900
for raw materials have been necessary SO far.
During the month of April, 1918, the women Of

Red Cross ideals
The strength of the Red Cross is in it's ideals.
The War Council expresses these ideals in three
great aims:
l TO be ready to care for our soldiers and
sailors on duty wherever and whenever that
care may be needed.
: To shorten the War-by strengthening the
morale of the allied peoples and their armies
by alleviating their sufferings in the period
which must elapse until the American army
can become fully effective abroad
T. lay fouadations for an enduring peace
by extending message of practical relief
and sympathy to the civilian population
among Allies, carrying to them an ex-
preston of the finest side of the American
character
The American people are translating these
ideals into facts-into money and personal SER
vice. Last June the War Council asked for
100000 900, and the people pledged s11o,ooo,-
aao, cf which sIOs 200, 600 has thus far been
selected-colected at probably the lowest cost

How Red Cross is organized
The great secret of Red Cross effectiveness =
organization. Millions Of people are working
together through the medium of an organized
machinery which co-ordinates the work Of each
with the work of all, and transmits the vast
quantity of finished products to the people who
need them. Thus benevolent emotion is turned
into practical aid.
The organization co-relates and directs the
work of the chapters. co-operates with the Army
and Navy in relief measures, supports relief work
abroad, recruits the personnel for overseas scr
vice and forwards to its agents in foreign lands
