RED GROSS NOTES.

The Ladies of the Custer Red Cross
are working with extra zeal this week
and expect to keep up the pace next
week, in response to the call for extra
bandages and other hospital require
ments. A vast amount of work is being
done and being done in very creditable
manner, so much so that the Inspection
Department of Minneapolis have sent
the Secretary letter stating that every
thing received by them in our recent
shipments was in good shape and re-
flected credit on the workers.
A shipment of yarn has been received
and there is plenty for the sweater knit
ters to start work again.
A number of people have Joined or
renewed their memberships to the Red
Cross. The following are their names
Mrs. A. V. Merchant,
Edith Soper,
Mrs. Otto Munson,
Mrs. Jessup,
Mrs. George Smith,
Mr.. +. q. Kneeland,
Mrs. f. g. Kneeland,
Sedalia Mattox,

Frederick Dupuis,
o. &. Craig,
Mrs. C. Vonderlohr,
L. Vonderlehr,
Charles Doll,
Mrs. NJ. L. Kerr,
Mrs. @. Hacker.
There has also been received from Mr.
G. +. Adams $500 and the Custer Co.
Operative $1,000 and friend 90 cents,
toward the Red Cross funds. There are
further needs for money in order to keep
up the good work the ladies are doing.
There have been a number of re-
sponses for gifts to be auctioned on
Country Folks Red Cross Day" Let
us know what you are willing to bring
in. Call up one of the officers of the
entertainment committee, Mrs. Perrin
and Mrs. Wilson.
A very neat little surprise was pulled
off Wednesday by the entertainment
committee and number of ladies who
are unable TO give much of their time in
the Red Cross room (but who neverthe-
less do work in their own homes). The
Ladies Aid societies kindly abandoned
their meetings that day for the Red
Cross work and over forty ladies attend
ed at the work room and finished up a
large, quantity of bandages and other
work. The entertainment committee
with their helpers above mentioned,
brought forth the surprise at o'clock
D. ma very dainty lunch which was
highly appreciated by the army of weary
workers and once more we realized that
the Red Cross work was making possible
sociability that under previous cordi-
tions was rather difficult matter. Gus
ter community will be profited because
of the large sacrifice it is making in its
war work.
Do not forget that much needed SUBJ
scription. Material is being used up 80
fast that we must have more money
soon,

THE GOVERNMENT
ANN ~


AND THE FARMER.
In his message of January 81 to the
farmers of America, President Wilson
points out the great governmental agen-
cies and instrumentalitie in the field of
agriculture.
Our Department of Agriculture, he
states, is the greatest practical and scien-
tific organization in the world and its
total annual budget of four to six million
dollars has been increased during the
last four years more than Y per cent.
It's staff numbers $4,000 and includes
many highly trained experts. The agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta
tions of the country have total endow-
ment of plant equipment of Sl72, 100000
and an annual income of more than
$50, 100000. Ten thousand two hundred
and seventy-one teachers with 1876, 900
students, together with a vast number
receiving instruction at their homes,
evidence what is being done in the way
OF agricultural training, and TO these may
be added the 255 men and women work
ing under the Smith-Lever Act.
The banking legislation of the last two
or three years, the President shows, has
given the farmers access to the great
lendable capital of the country and
through the Federal Reserve banking
system and the Farm Loan banking sys-
tenn farmers can obtain the credit, both
short and long term, to which they are
entitled and which it is imperatively
necessary should be extended to them
to enable them to perform adequately
the tasks the country now requires of
them.
The President touches on another as
pect of the relations between the farmers
and the Nation-"The toll the intelli-
gence, the energy, the foresight, the
self-sacrifice, aud devotion of the far
mers of America will, | believe, bring
to a triumphant conclusion this great

of a Million Soldiers in France
For a Month

Chicago, Feb. l6.-To maintain the
American army in France one hundred
pounds of gross tonnage day must be
landed at French ports for each man,
according to Captain Earl J. thinner.
man, executive officer in the depot quar-
termasters' department here
''The American people have no con-
ception of the quantity ofsupplies need
ed for the men over there said Captain
Zimmerman, nor of the difficulty in
getting it to them. For example it
takes 100000 pounds of frozen beef
each month to feed million soldiers"
In explaining food supply ofthe Amer
ican soldiers abroad and the manner in
which it must be sent, Captain thinner
man gave a general picture Of the diff
cultes of the quartermasters corps in
constantly maintaining a sufficient guam
tity of food.
According to his statement, the men
in France are on garrison ration
the same as soldiers at cantonments in
this country. This ration is five pounds
a man, each day This weight, how
ever, includes eating utensils and con-
tainer. For million men 10000, 600
pounds of rations a month are required,
amounting to 1000 carloads.
A list of the food required for a mil
lion men for thirty days would include
the following
23,OOOOOO pounds Of frozen beef
81, 100000 pounds of flour
100000 pounds of bacon.
100000 cans of beef
1000, 600 cans corned beef.
100000 cans corned beef hash.
100000 pounds of sugar
100000 pounds of coffee.
$4,000 pounds of butter.
At all times, Captain Zimmerman said,
a thirty day supply is maintained in
France.

The Santa Rita fans are not tn
least bluffed by the reputation of tn

THE ARMY FROWMs ON
MOVING PICTURE PRICES
Must Reduce tC l5C or Draw Provost
Guard, Is EdlCt Presented to
Local Men Tuesday.

Prices charged by Deming movie
shows and soft drink stands have
drawn the disapprOval Of the army
authorities and on Monday an order
was issued at division headquarters
putting il up to the picture and foun-
tain men TO reduce prices or draw
visitation Of the provost guard. A
meeting was called at the Deming
club Tuesday morning, at which Col,
N. P. Hyatt, provost marshal, pre-
sented the, army's case. Certain re-
ductions were demanded in the drink
menus, Unless the price Of admis
sion to the picture shows is lowered
TO l5c beginning next Monday, be
stated, no soldier will be permitted
to patrOnize them.
A second conference with the NOV
lie men Wednesday morning failed IA
change the army's position in the
matter and the order stands, The
picture men say it means they will
have to close their doors or put on
a lower class of shows. AT l5c they
declare they cannot make expenses
The lower price has prevailed at two
places, but at the Isis and Princess
the highest class pictures have beer
shown, they maintain, the higher
price is necessary to existence, /,

The soft drink men adjusted theil
