The Red Cross Needs Your Help

in Europe and to Care
for our Soldiers.

Dear Mothers Surely you will do
what you can to relieve the sufferings'
Of the homeless, wretched mothers and
children OF war-torn Europe-raggeds
starving, freezing tuberculous women
and babies who for three years have
endured the horrors of hell. They
are your sisters and your sisters
children. The end is not yet for them.
Think what they must go through this
winter Think of yourself and your
little ones here in America, safel and
comfortable.
In the trenches "over there" are mil
lions of men undergoing indescribable
hardship and suffering and death to-
save the liberty-loying world from the
kaiser and his savage hordes. Think
of them. Remember they are stand
ing between you and the fate that God
less, "kultur" mad Germany poured
upon the women and children of north
ern France, northern Italy, Belgium
Poland and Roumania.
OF course you cannot go to Europe
and nurse and feed and clOthe and
shelter those sufferers. But the Amer
lean Red Cross is over there doing it
the noblest labor in the worlds history
Our Red Cross is Nursing and feeding
and clothing and sheltering them. And
it is conducting thousands of hospitals
and ambulance lines and comfort sta
lions for American soldiers and the
soldiers of our allies.
Yet the Red Cross cannot do enough
because it hasn't half enough mem
bers. Therefore q campaign is being
made to get fifteen million members by
Christmas eve It is an honor to be-
long to the organization.
You will join, won't you? You wiz
see that your husband enrolls, and that
each of the children is enrolled-sure-

neighbors copy it.
The silo is the most important farm
structure and the sooner all farmers
realize this the soonea will we have q
great dairy country. There were four
silos in the county when we COM
menced to work here and this num-
Der has grown TO thirty-fye. There
were ten built this summer The inn
portant thing about this is that i
have yet to hear from a single farmer
with silo that he has used a season
that is not highly pleased with it.
Buying hay drains the money out OF
the county every winter, and this fal Z
cattle are being sold at an alarming
rate because there is not hay to feed
them thru the winter. Unless these
cattle are replaced next spring there
will be a shortage Of dairy cattle here.
There may be one advantage in this:
If the cattle are replaced with better
ones the county will profit by the
change. We still have the forms for
building cement silos belonging to the
University and our own forms for.
building staye silo pits and they have.
been busy all summer. Where the lar
