lUU percent membership also.
A very recent and generous donation
is that of the Plattdeutscher Verein
which has given $25 to the Watertown
chapter of the Red Cross.
Another shipment of Red Cross ar
ticles will be made by our Chapter on
March TO- It is desired that as many
as possible Of the various articles
which are being made at home for the
Red Cross-both knitted articles, hos
pital garments and layettes-be COM
pleted in time for this shipment. Re-
member the date-March 10.
Most all Red Cross members availed
themselves of the opportunity which
the cooking school gave of learning
new ways of cooking both meat and
wheat substitutes. A very pleasing
feature Of the Wednesday morning
program was a talk on Red Cross
work by Miss Boenig of Madison.
Miss Boenig complimented our
Chapter very highly, both because of
the splendid work we are doing and
because we have such an efficient or
ganization and capable directors. Miss
Boeing told of the wonderful work
that is being done among the refugees
in France in supplying new and clean
clothing and, in most instances, the
much needed bath, to children who
have lost parents and homes
Miss Boeing enthused and encourag-
ed every Red Cross member to keep
on doing her and his bit in order that
the trail of the painted posts" might
CLEAN more brightly and distinctly
amid the darkness of our Western
fronts, for we were told that all at
tacks and goings lover the top" occur
at night, and under cover of darkness
the only means which the wounded
and fainting soldier has of knowing
the way back to the Red Cross relief
stations where he can get help and
medical attention is by these painted
white posts, which the Red Cross
erect from the place of action back to
the hospitals.
We must take up our Red Cross
work with renewed energy and pur-
pose in order that our boys, fighting
for us, shall not lack one single thing
which will make for their safe keep
ing.

caIlfornla,s Goat Ranch.

California has large ranch stocked
with Swiss and Nubian goats, the milk
from which is condensed and canned.
Coats milk is said to be very rich, and
is in demand as nourishing food for
invalids. A well-bred mich goat will
produce - times its weight in milk.
A COW produces yearly three times
her weight IL she is good mixer, but
the goat cannot be depended upon for
a steady supply of milk at all times
through the year. Therefore it is said
that canning is the best method Of
making a goat dairy profitable. An
11-ounce can of condensed goat milk
retails at 20 cents in the West, and
the sale has thus far been confined
chiefly to drug stores. The Pacific
Dairy review reports that goat dairy
ing is a thriving industry in the west,
and believes that canned goats milk
would find wide sale If extended to
the grocery trade.
