WALTER E. BENNETT IS SAFE.
LANDS WITH CREW WHEN U. S. S. SAN
DIEGO IS SENT DOWN BY SUB.

Walter +. Bennett, son of Mr..
and Mrs. c. M. Bennett of Hart
ley, was a member of the Marine
Guards on board the u. S. S. San
Diego, which was sunk last Sat
urday outside the New York har-
Dor by a submarine. More than
100 of the crew were landed and
it is not thought that many lives
were lost. Reports state that
perhaps the engine room crew
were killed by the explosion.
A telegram received here Sun
day by r. M. Williams, was sent
by Walter from Hoboken, N. j.,
stated that he was alive and we'll
and asked that his parents be
notified. The ship was af1oat
nearly a half hour after the tor
pedo struck her and there were
other ships standing by so that
the loss of life was very small.

Red Gross News

Miss Emma Griesel, a singer
of considerable note from Lin
coin, Nebraska, will give pro-
gram at the Gem Theatre in
Philip, Thursday evening, Aug
ust l, commencing at eight
o'clock. Miss Griesel generous
ly gives from her talent to the
cause, so the entire proceeds of
the evening 60 to the benefit of
the Red Cross. There should be
a large audience out to encour-
age this young lady and meet
her generously half way.
We wish to suggest in connect
ion with the renewals of men,
bership now commencing in this
county the advisability of more
of our members subscribing to
the Red Cross Magazine. Two
dollars pays your annual men,
bershiy dues and for the maya
zine also. 1t is easily worth the
extra dollar. The. Red Cross
magazine is published by the
national society of the Red Cross
and no one makes any money
out of it. All profits 60 to Red
Cross work.

PHILIP TAKENBY HOME GUARDS
MIDLAND AND 0TTUMwA GivE COUNTY,
SEAT A LESSON IN MILITARY
ORGANIZATION.

The people of Philip were Civ
en- a demonstration of what can
be done in the way of military
organization at home, when the
Midland and Ottumwa Company
of Home Guards came up Mon
day to bid goodbye to the thirty
one young men from this county
who left that evening for the
army training camp at Fort
Dodge, la. The company num-
bered sixty men in uniform un-
der Captain Ed Lane, who put
them through the drills in gen.
uine military style.
During the afternoon they en-
tertained the crowd for nearly
an hour and again in the evening
led by the Philip band and with
the young men about to leave,
they marched around the streets
and gave a very fine exhibition.
Later Alvin Wae9oner delivered
a short address to young men of
the draft quote, complementin9
upon their induction into the mil
itary service n d instructin9
them in the exact manner of
treating the Kaiser should he fall
into their hands. Afterwards a
dance was given at the Opera
House until time for the train to
leave.
1t was by far the largest crowd
that has been in Philip on sim
liar occasion. Autoes from all
parts of the county brought the
friends and relatives of the boys
and they remained until the mid
night train carried the shouting
bunch of recruits away.
Midland and Ottumwa should
be proud of their Home Guards
and credit is due every member
as we'll as the officers who have
the training in hand. We realize
the time and trouble necessary.
to completing and training an
organization of this kind from
among the business men and far
mers of any community. We
take our hat off to the Midland
Home Guards.

WOMEN WANTED As NURSES
GOVERNMENT NEEDS $4,000 WOMEN
TO ENLIST As STUDENT NURSES.

The Government is calling for
25,OOO young women to join the
United States Student Nurse Re-
serve and hold themselves in
readiness to train for service as
nurses.
The war is creating an unpre-
cendented demand for trained
nurses. Only those who have
taken the full training course are
eligible for service with our for
ces overseas. These nurses are
being drawn largely from our
hospitals at home. Their places
must be filled by student nurses
enrolled for the full training
course of from two to three
years. Every young woman who
enrolls in the United States Stu
dent Nurse Reserve is releasing
a nurse for service at the front
and swelling the home army
which we must rely on to act as
our second line of hospital de-
fense. Upon the health of the
American people will depend the
spirit of their fighting forces.
The call is for women between
the ages of nineteen and thirty
five.
Intelligent, responsible women
of good education and sound
health are wanted-the pick of
the country. A college education
is a valuable asset, and many
hospitals will give credit for it.
Credit will also be given for
special scientific equipment or
for preliminary training in nurs-
ing, such as that given in special
courses now being conducted by
various colleges and schools.
Some schools, on the other hand
do not even require a full high
school education.
Women will be given an op-
portunity to enroll in the United
States Students Nurse Reserve
in any one of three ways:
Cd AS engaging to h O | d
themselves in readiness until
April |, 1919, to accept assign
ments to nurses training schools.
These women will be sent to the
schools as fast as vacancies oc-
cur. Those of superior qualifica-
tons will be given preference,
and it is, possible that not every
one who enrolls will be accepted.
(2) AS desiring to become
candidates for the Army Nursing
School recently established by

authority of the War Depart
ment, with branch schools in
selected military hospitals.
co As engaging to hold
themselves in readiness until
April l, 1919, to accept assign
ments to either civilian training
schools or the Army Nursing
School. Those who enroll will
be called where the first need
arises. The Government hopes
that the majority of those who
enroll will thus put down their
names for both.
The pioneer. [volume] (Philip, Haakon County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1918-07-25

All who attended enjoyed the af-
fair very much. The total pro-
ceeds of the evening were in the
nei9hborhood of $l75.
Two hundred fifty pairs of
socks by August lst, is our al
lottment. We hope to have them
in for shipment by July 26, but
we will be running close. All
branches are urged to send in
socks at once. We also desire to
include one half of the July-Aug-
ust sewing allotment in this ship
ment.
The Midland auxiliary has
completed its July allotment of
surgical dressings.
The Midland auxiliary plans to
hold monthly meetings COM
mencing August 7, at which
someone will give Red Cross
talks. This is an excellent idea
and deserves to spread among
other organizations.
Under a recent rule all mem
bership dues must be turned in
to the treasurer of the chapter
each month. In the words of the
rule as it comes from Minneapolis
"The retention of any portion of
dues or class fees by branches or
auliliaries is not permitted" This
will change our former method
of handling this matter, and we
call upon all local organizations
in the county to cooperate with
the secretary of the chapter, Mrs.
Mcclure, in meeting these re-
quirements.
Members should turn in their
credit cards for work done. The
chapter headquarters at Philip
will be glad to procure credit
cards for any branch or auxiliary
desiring to use them. While
some may not be impressed with
the thing, we. are inclined to
think the idea an excellent one.
The crosses and stripes given
out are an honorable badge of
service. Thirty-two hours credit
entities a worker to wear a cross
on her apron; Il hours, a cross
