Ramsey County Red Cros.
Drive Nets 375 Per Cent

Devils Lake, N. D., May 21.-At
noon today the Ramsey county Red
Cross drive had raised $4,000, about
376 per cent over the allotment made
by the state organization. Il
Ramsey county's original allotment
was $8,176, but this was voluntarily
raised by the county organization to
$4,000, and up till last night about
$4,000 vas raised: The drive is be-
ing continued and it is expected that
considerable more will be collected
befort the drive is over.
ramsey county was the first coun-
ty IN the state to report over-sub-
scriptions to the state Red Cross
headquarters at Fargo and so far
stands at No. l in the returns of the

LIBERTY BONDS AND.
w. S. S. GIVEN FOR
SHOOTING PRIZES
(By Peter p. Carney, Editor National
A., Sports Syndicate.)

b Liberty, bonds and war savings
stamps certificates will be generous
ly given in lieu of cash prizes in all
Of the events that comprise the 10Th
Grand American Trapshooting Hand
leap tournament, which will be con-
Quoted over the traps of the South
Shore Country club, Chicago, ILL.,, Au-
gust s, 6, Z, s and 8.
Just what division of the purse will
be turned into Liberty bonds and war
savings stamps will not be known for
a couple of weeks. The idea is being
worked out, by Elmer e. Shaner,
manager, Of the Interstate Trayshoot-
ing association, and as soon as he
whips the figures into shape they
will be given to the press and public.
In the neighborhood of $4,000 is
awarded to the trapshooters in this,
the greatest of all American sporting
events 1t is possible that two-thirds
of that sum will be expended for
the purchase of Liberty. bonds and
war savings stamps.
This idea of Liberty bonds and war
savings stamps as prizes works for
the benefit Of the trapshooters and
bond and can cut coupons for a few
years, while the government gets the
money in its time of need. p
This feature should add greatly to
the Importance of the Grand>Ameri-
can trapshooting tournament. No
sporting fraternity has been more lib
eral in giving to the government than
trapshooters. They have donated
ambulances to the Red Cross. and
these amhulances are now doing SER
vice in France. More than 100, 900
trapshooters are enrolled in Uncle
Sans All-American' team; every gun
club has thrown open it's doors to
foster the learn to Shoot idea, and
in every important trap-shooting
tournament this year. and in many Of
the smaller ones, too, Liberty bonds
and War Savings stamps are the only
prizes.
Hats Oft to trapshooting-The Pa
triotic Sport. It is worthy Of the
name.

which raised $50. The sum total OF
these two socials making $500 VA

MANY FAMILIES ARE AIDED BY RED CROSS

The Red Cross home service section has given advice and some form of service to more than 300,000 families in the United States during the year. Home service sections in the Pacific division aided more than 5000 families during the month of October. Since home service was put into operation in the division, an average of over 5000 families have been cared for each month.
 The work of the home service sec tion will continue so long as problems relative to the man in. service and hts family arise. Supplementing govern ment agencies, by which plans are completed for the returning soldiers, Red Cross home service anticipates his more personal needs. Home ser vice workers in each chapter in the Pacific division stand ready to aid either the soldier or his family with the authority of the American Red Cross supporting them.
