Junior Red Cross An
Active Organization

The Junior Red Cross organiza
ton which was recently organized
here is proving to be a real active
one. Not only has the member
ship kept right on growing by
leaps and bounds, but a lot of fine
work is also being accomplished
which will be noted below. Even
some of the boys are showing their
patriotism by knitting wash rags,
ETC., and may keep the girls pretty
busy to keep up with them before
long.

Send For A Copy
OF sThe Kaiserite"

German propagandists have
been busy since the entry of the
! United States into the war.
Falsehoods of every character
have been spread over every sec
ton of the country with the idea
of abusing the confidence of the
American people. So persistent
has been the circulation of these
carefully moulded pro-German lies
that an official exposure of them
has been issued as a pamphlet, en-
titled "The Kaiserite in America"
by the Committee on Public Infor-
nation, s Jackson Place, Washing
ton, D. C. A copy of this pamph-
let may be had free if inquiry will
be directed to the Committee.
Tales have been current about
mterned German prisoners being
fed five meals a day, about Red
Cross supplies being sold to shop
keepers by dishonest officials, by
criminal waste of food at training
camps and many other like false
hoods either designed to discourage
volunteer Red Cross work and the
loyal efforts of housekeepers to
save food or calculated to create
troublesome distrust of the Gov
eminent.
The circulation of these stories
is often due to the folly of a citi-
zen who wishes to appear to have
inside information" and who
either innocently or Intentionally
starts a lie that rapidly grows
worse as it spreads. A collection
Of such lies and their refutation
has been made by the St. Louis
Republic. A hundred of them are
included in "The Kaiserite in
America"

A Lesson From 1875

The Brashear Morgan City, News of
1875, on December 4, contained short
paragraph which is peculiarly applicable
for publication at this time. Contrary
to usual comparison between the past
and the present, this news item from
the long ago carries figures concerning
efforts, that will possibly
stagger the imagination of some local
citizens Of the present time.
The paragraph states that "Twenty
new buildings are now going up in town
and yet some complain Of hard times. -
There is q commendable dearth of COM
plants concerning hard times at the
present period, but there the similarity
of conditions ceases.

Advertising And Competition

Mex to whom the operation Of econom-
y laws is the most interesting thing in
life are telling Us, nowadays, solle Nm.
palatable truths about what must be done
if the resources Of the nation are to 10
conserved for the success Of the allied
cause.
They agree that the PRODUCTION Of
all useful commodities must not be eur
tailed. But they see in our system Of
distribution great wastage of human
effort, and they urge that this must
cease. They see in the great army Of
small retailers a menace to the nation s
economic efficiency. 1t is argued that
we have too many small stores, involving
the support, at the expense of the con-
sumer, of "a vast army of non-producing
and non-useful distributors They show
how the existence of two neighhorhood
shops where one would suffice doubles
the overhead expense of distribution in
that community.
But the economists all agree on one
thing: that quick turnovers and large
volume of sales are the secret of cheap
distribution-thus assuring the lowest
possible prices to consumers.
Fewer stores, bigger duplication of Of
fort-these are the mandates of the econ
, omists. Granting the general soundness
of these arguments, the economists do
not 60 through to a conclusion. The ele
ments of COMPETITION and ADvER-
TISING work in unison to hold selling
prices to low margin of profit.
The knowledge that a competitor will
fix low price for certain commodity
forces a merchant to not merely try to
meet that price but to try to lower it.
The knowledge that his competitor will
try, though advertising, to speed up his
turnove1s will spur the merchant to do
likewise. He knows that advertising
, will not pay him unless he can make it
pay those who read it-so the force Of
advertising comes to the aid Of both the
merchant and his customer.

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
Vivtory bread or close!

That is the latest order from Herbert
Hoover, U. 8. Food Administrator, and
it is significant in several wsys-
It means that bakers must use 20 per
cent Of substitutes with wheat flour in
making bread or get out Of business. The
flour need is great, the nation must have
enough for war purposes, and any inter-
ferences or evasion will be regarded as
an inimical act. New Orleans will put
several bakers on the shelf, and the Par
ish Administrators are following the ex-
ample of John NJ. Parker and going af-
ter their culprit bakers.
The slogan also indicates that all the
flour rules are regarded as vital, that
thew must and will be strictly enforced
The prohibition against the sale OF flour
without cereal substitutes, pound for
pound, is being generally observed. The
people are reporting grocers and others
who fail to obey the regulation, and ed
ucation has been undertaken in each
case with excellent results. One New
Orleans concern, conducting number OF
establishments, discharged several en-
ployees for selling flour alone, insisting
that the national welfare was superior to
all other other incentives.
Monday and Wednesday, the Wheat
less Days, and the appeal for Wheatless
meal on each of the other days, are be-
ing almost sacredly needed. The travel
ling men, women's organizations, and
other patriotic< agencies, are keeping
close tab, and they have not sent in q
complaint in weeks. The hotels and res
taurants may soon be asked to set still
more drastic example to the homes and
make wheatless days the occasion for to-
tai abstention from wheat. Admins
traitor Atkinson, Of Montana, is one Of
those who iavors the move. "Some peo-
ple use so per cent. substitutes in their
wheatless day bread, and then serve moo
dies in soup, macaroni and cheese, and
then nut wheat crackers on the table for
use with the soup. Such saving follows
the old saying of saving at the spigot
and waiting at the bunghole -, is his
comment. Later on in his argument he
urges that patriotism extends to every
act, every thought, every impulse. If it
stops short of the complete whole it fails
as patriotism.
The only concession in the flour rules,
made during the week, was the addition
of hominy grits and tapioca to the list
of substitutes. Because Of the large
crop Of potatoes, and the comparatively
low price they are bringing, the use OF
pototoes in bread and biscuit baking is
being encouraged. Because the potatoes
contain much water, it is ruled that four
pounds of potatoes equal one pound OF
flour or substitute for flour.

ton. Administrator Pedan has fixed 6
pounds pcr individual per month as the

to he watching the experiment with great
Interest, because if it is found q good
working basis, the program will be adopt

flour to consumers must keep an accur'
ate record Of such sales, and it is com

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL NEWS
Department Edited " A. G. amrn. County Agricultural Agent
ior he Farmers end slossmsH Of Luna County.


Let It be understood that the Luna
County Farm Bureau stands for the
development Of the agricultural in
terests Of the county along safe and
sane lines Its leadership must be
carefully chosen, its policies cor
rect, and the methods advocated by
It tried and proven. Its principles
must be based not upon explosive
theories but upon absolute facts. The
development Of agriculture in this
community or in any new community
win progress only in proportion as
those already engaged in it are sue
ceeding. And the success or failure
Of the farmer in any community is
the only reliable advertisement Of
that community.
It is often true that many hard
headed farmers are attracted TO new
communities more by the booster
spirit Of certain classes than by the
normal and scientific development Of
the agriculture of that community.
When this is done the results usually
prove disastrous. The many new
problems to be solved frequently
"busts" the hard head of the so-call-
ed hard headed farmer before he
busts' the problem. No farm bu-
reau intelligently and cOnscientiously
directed, dare, for the welfare Of the
community, attempt TO attract new
corners until il is absolutely certain
it can point them to tried and sue
cessfu methods of farming. But to
attract the agricultural investor to q
new community and then throw him
on to his own resources without fnr-
ther aid usually results in whole
sale failure and resrds the normal
development Of that community for
years.
EARNING by pumping irrigation
weter is a success in few of the
I6any communities where it has been
tried. II is not an economic success
in certain California districts and
many failures have resulted through
inferior methods in this county. The
expensive machinery, the high cost
of fuel, and high rate of depreciation
tend to make complicated problems
where pumping is practiced. The
farm bureau must acquaint the pros

said Mr.. Bush. "The food controllers
Of the allied nations at their confer
ence in July made careful estimates
Of the food needs Of their nations
and America will be called upon to
supply nm additional five million tons
for the year ending June 30, 1919.
Though the wheat crop this year was
large, the production of other food
grains is less and it therefore be-
comes necessary to conserve all
staple foods to be able to feed our
armies and the civilian population Of
America, the allies and certain ned
trail countries.
This war must be won. Food As alb
solutely necessary TO that end and il
is the duty Of every red-blooded
American, man, woman and child, to

pective investor Of these conditions
and direct him in his operations so
that failures shall not occur. Hence
il is necessary for the Farm Bureau
to move cautiously along tried and
successful lines.
When real estate inflaters give m-
due emphasis to success through in
tensified farming they often do IL
without making known all the facts
involved. Farmers have been allur-
red by these vague programs; have
INVESTED their money, their brains,
and their muscle and in many in
stances produced tremendous crops on
small areas of land only to be disap-
pointed to find no market for the
fruits of their labOrs. The intelli-
gently directed and ell-organized
farm bureau will first seek the mar
ket and then encourage intensified
farming only in proportion as the
market demands. And any other I'M
due encouragement of this kind Of
farming is, to say the least, PERM
cous and cannot he condemned to
strongly.
The immediate objects, therefore,
Of the Luna County Farm Bureau
should be the following in the order
given:
!. To find market for present
production.
2. To encourage larger prOduc-
lion in proportion to larger market
demands.
3. To assist the present farmer in
combating injurious diseases and in
sects.
4. To insist that the financial
success Of the present farmer is the
only legitimate advertisement to the
prospective investor.
The executive committee will meet
Friday at 800 p. m. October 4 for
the purpose Of discussing the market
situation for Luna county products

Tomatoes

One of the finest examples of
patriotism is that shown by the Camp
Cody Y. NJ. c. A. men in their effort
to help conserve food by going to
HOndale to help the farmers pick
their tomatoes and then contributing
what they earn to the Y NJ. c. A.
fund. This is double stroke for
good and one that everybody appre-
ciates,
The tomatoes at HOndale have
been ripening very fast and the force
Of pickers were TO small to keep up

their services, pitched their tents last

lie calls special attention to two
facts. One of these facts is that the
basis for deferred classification re-
quires something more than the mere
filling out Of a QUESTIONABLE. "Some
one must Indicate that the individual
ease is one which should arrest the
special attention of the draft board
in respect to the registrant's occu-
pational status" says General
Crowder. To the question, "What
happens to the registrant neglecting
to state his claims for deferred elias
sificatiOn9" he replied: IF he does
not put them down in his question
down, the claim can not be consider
ed The second fact is that it is
naire and no one else puts them
the duty Of an employer to aid his
necessary employees in necessary
occupation in presenting their eases
to the board.
These statements of General
Crowder need to be given wide pub
licity. They also carry the inference
that county agents, state farm help
specialists, agricultural advisers, and
all oilers interested in he food pro-
duction program Of the war should
assist all necessary farm workers
including farm owners and managers
in receiving the deferred classifica.
ton that the war department desires
them to have.
