THIS IS THE TRUE RED GROSS SPIRIT
A Little Story With a Big
 Thought in It.

A month ago the Red Cross chapter in Bay City, Mich., received q hurry. up call for 150 dunnage bags. Troops were about to move, and through an oversight their equipment was not complete The bags had to be made and sent within AS hours. A request for help was sent over the town, and the stores were searched successfully for the right materials. Among those who quickly responded and came to the chapter worlrooms to help were two little girls, sisters, about ten and twelve years of age, each eager to lend a hand and do something for the boys who were going to the front. All day long the fingers of the women and the little girls were fairly flying. Bag after bag received the last stitch un- til scores were piled up ready for shipment. Closing time came, and the woman experimenting the making of the bags counted those completed and announced that if every one of tho workers could come early the next morning and work all day the bags would surely be finished in time for shipping by evening. Two crestfallen little girls the little sisters, were wait ing for her at the door as she de- parted
 Red Cross Dunnage Bags.
 We are awfully sorry, ma am," said the older of the two, but we can't come back tomorrow. You see tomor- row we have to-" And, without fin. ishing the sentence, she looked back wlstfully at the pile of bags
 "It is too bad you can't come back" said the superintendent, Out I want to thank you, and we all thank you, for the work you've done today. You two have been wonderful help, and that pile of bags wouldn't be nearly so big if you hadn't been here. Good night"
 The next morning when the super intendent came down to unlock the workrooms for the day she was aston ished to see the two little girls stand ing in the cold by the locked door.
 "Oh, I'm so glad to see youl" she said. T thought you said you couldn't come?"
 "Oh, We knew those Red Cross bags just had to be finished for the sol diers," exclaimed the little one, with glistening eyes, "and we got up at three o'clock this morning and got the washing done earlyw .>
 Strong Negatives.
 There Is one great advantage about keeping both glass and film negatives In envelopes made of transparent pa per-that the negative can be look ad at and identified without taking 1t out of It's envelope. More negatives are damaged by being turned over to find some particular one than by the lapse of time, and the transparent en- velope protects them from injury from this source. A system of filing and catalogng, by which any negative re- quired can be found with minimum of disturbance of the others, also tends !D prevent damage.

WALTON SEEMS TO HAVE CALL
Democrats Worried Over Showing In
Southeastern Counties.

Santa Fe. n. NJ, May l6.-There
is considerable political activity in
both political camps at the present
time. The Democratic leaders have
made the painful discovery that the
eastern part Of the state, at least the
southeastern fourth, will not increase
the Democratic majorities this fall,
as confidently expected.
II has been learned that Repubh-
cans IN the county of Eddy. Chavez,
Lee, Curry and some of the others
holding primaries recently went into
those primaries and voted Nth the
Democrats, which viii Pgq bind
them on the county tickets BIT leave
them free to support tie Republican
state ticket. Even with this Repub'
hcan vote the showing Of the, BIZ
Democratic counties has been a Tear

Can Treble Flour OUTPUT.

The flour mills in New Mexico can
treble their output if they will try;
the state can mill home grown wheat
a dollar a hundred cheaper than by
shipping il out of the state and the
people can thereby save S150,OOO 70
year, State Administrator Ely says.
Last year." he declares, "New Mex
Ico produced 100000 bushels of
wheat. 1t conaumed about 1000, 600
bushels. Yet the mills of the state
have been operating at three fourths
capacity for eight hours u day,
whereas a properly managed mill can
be operated at 100 per cent capacity
for twenty four hours"
New Mexico mills can increase
their output three and one-fourth
times by shaking off their leihargy,
adopting better methods, and work
ing under stable price, which the
United States government will fix foI
them. They can successfully divorce
the housewife from her fixed notion
that Kansas or Colorado flour is su.
perior to the state milled product.
4 The millers of the state are be-
ginning to wake up. They are begin
ming 10 realize that they can buy
cheap wheat and get a big market by
selling cheap flour. In 1919 thu
state of New Mexico will be selling
the cheapest flour in the country, an'
yet all concerned will be makinI
money if they manage their business
properly,

II is almost invonceivable that any
one in New Mexico, while New Mexico
boys need every ounce of wheat they
can get at the fighting line should
be feeding wheat to hogs. A food
administration worker, however, has
reported that this practice has been

who would rather feed hogs than
American soldiers is not going to be
popular in New Mexico,

DEATH BAN PLACED
ON GRASSHOPPERS

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. l1.-A state
wide campaign against grasshoppers
is being urged by John N. Hagan,
state commissioner of agriculture and
labor, who says that heavy losses are
being incurred annually as result of
the work of the pests.
lathe farmers have either got to
put the grasshoppers out of business,
or to go out of business themselves
temporarily at least" says Mr.. Hagan.
"The insects are overrunning more
and more of the state each year, and
firmly believe that if another season
is allowed to pass without systema-
tic effort being made to kill the pests,
the next year will find us without any
crops in much of our state"
Hagan says the hoppers did most
damage last year in the section run
ming diagonally from the north cen
trail counties to the southwestern
counties, taking in large part of
the Missouri slope district. Both
growing and harvested grain is eaten
in large quantities by the pests.

MAI. PERSON ON WAY
HONE FROM Fl. SILL
Prominent NIinOt Officer Will Arrive
Friday to Resume His Work as
President of the Union Ma
tiOnal Bank

Major E. S. Person is on his way
home from Fort Sill, Okla, where he
has spent several months in the Ad-
vanced School Of Artillery and he is
expected to arrive in the city Friday
night. The Major has practically
completed his course in the great
"school of fire" and getting anxious
to get back to his duties as President
Of the Union National Bank, he was
released from service.
When the United States entered the
great world war, Major Person was
one OF the first to sacrifice his own
interests by enlisting in the service.
He entered the officers training
school at Fort Smelling and won a
Captaincy in the infantry. He was
transferred to Camp Grant, Ill.,, where
he spent several months and later was
transferred to the Cavalry in hopes
that he might see service in France at
an earlier date. The Major was not
destined to be sent across the sea,
much to his disappointment, for he
was regarded too highly as an in
structor. He did service Just as vail
ant as tho he had been sent to the
firing line. A few months ago, he
was transferred to Fort Sill, Okla,
in the Advanced School of Artillery.
Here he won his Majorship by dint Of
hard work and close study for ne
university student ever studied hard
err than those attending this artillery
school.
The Major has made splendid rec
ord in the various branches of the SER
vice in which he has been engaged
and he will return to the city well
coined by all who appreciate the ex-
celent work that he has DONE

The first casualty Of the war with
Germany in which Minot was interest
e sdc, was when Charles McGonegal Of
this city, Vas reported to have lost
his hands by ths prea@::ature explosion
of a hand grenade. Us is well known
hand grenadcs are made up so that
when they explode they throw off
many pieces of iron and steel, each
particle being of sufficient size to in
jure anyone quite severely. Mr.. Nc
CONCEAL, losing both hands above the
wrist received 102 wounds about his
body from the flying particles.
He was sent back from France, and
for some time has been patient in a
hospital at Washington, D. c. During
the recent Fourth Liberty Loan drive
he took an active part in the campaign
making speeches for the loan in south
ern cities.

Influenza Claims 100000 Victims

Influenza Claims 100000 Victims
Influenza has caused the death of
more than 3OO,OOO people in the Unit
ed States since Sept. 1. Doctors as
sert that even tho the epidemic dies
down this year, we may expect an
other outbreak next year and would
not be surprised if the disease caused
the death of three quarters of mil
lion.
DR.. Rosenow, of the Mayo institute,
has compiled reports from $1,000 in
stances where people were inoculated
against pneumonia, and he reports
satisfactory results. Doctors claim
that plenty of sleep and rest will dc
as much as anything in warding off
the disease.
DR.. Rosenow claims that around
Rochester, that after the third inocu-
lation there were only nine influenza
cases per thousand as against 22O pei
thousand among the uninoculated.
