TO Che Chairman of the Chapter
 and an Red Cross members:
 The following message just receiv- ed from Che War Council Of the American Red Cross and George D.. Scott. general manager, Is of vital interest Co an Of us.
 "On February 10th last year nearly six weeks before Che United States declared war National Red Cross headquarters advised its chap- ters to prepare for war. That which has followed in che record of the Red Cross In helping Go win this war and Co relieve che suffering growing out of it constitutes some thing Of which every American cit- lzcn has a right Co be proud Every American Red Cross worker must feel O sense of gratitude iu having had a share in it an.
 "The moment Is now come Co pre- pare for peace. Actual peace may come at any moment; it may Doc de- fcrred for some time Until peace is really hero there can Doc mo relax ution in any Red Cross effort inci- dent Co active hostilitIos.
 But with peace. let no one sup- pose that thc work of Che Red Cross is finished. Millions Of American boys are stu under arms Thou sands of them arc sick or wounded. owing Co Che shortage In shipping. it may take a year or more Go bring our boys home from France. But whatever the time. our protecting arms must be about them and their families over thc whole period which must elaps before the normal life ot' pcacc can be resumed
 "Our soldiers and sailors arc en- listed until Che commander in chief tells them there is no more work for them Co do in the war Let every Red Cross member and worker show our returning soldiers and sailors that to care for their health. welfare and happiness, we are enlisted for no less a period than they are.

a picture of misery such as tho worlt has never seen before. especially ir thc many countries which cannot hclp themselves. The American pco pie win expect the Red Cross Go con unuo Co act as their agent in rc- pairing broken spirits and broken bodies. Peace terms and pence con dltIons win determine how we may best minister Co the vast stricken arcas which have been narrowed hy war. and in this great act of mercy thc heart and spirit of che American people must continue to be mobil- ized through the American Red Cross.
 "On behalf of the War Council we accordingly ask each member ci our splendid body of workers thru- out the land Co bear in mind the solemn obligation which rests upon each one to Carry On'-we can not abatc one instant in our efforts or i'm oar spirit. There vii bo an album dance of worl, Co do, and specific od- vices will be given, but even ot the moment of peace let no Red Cross worker faltcr.
 "Our spirits must now call us to show that it is not the roar of can non or the blood of our own alone that directs our activities, but that great people will continue to re- spond greatly and freely to its ob- ligation and opportunity to serve mankind"

RED CROSS WORK ROOM

There is Che most urgent need Co continue every form of chaptor pro- duction activity with ono except tlon-the work on surgical dress iugs. except on army dressings win be stopped. but the army orders win Doc completed without delay.
 Wo urc advised from Washington that calls from Red Cross Commis- sions in many parts of Che world in- dicatc am almost unlimited need for civilian relief abroad. The Doug las-Troadweu Chapter should, there fore. make every effort to finish ut once ull refugee garments that have been allotted to us iu order Co be prepared Co take care of additional orders. The Bureau of Chapter Production is now preparing addi- tIonal allotments of refugee gar ments and win issue them rapidly, as ONE garment NOW will be of i'm Anitcly greater service In saving life than many garments after Che win ter is past
 Those who have been making sur gical dressings should know of this need Of refugee garments, and we urge every one to help us in this work.
 The realization that Che surgical dressings made by Che loyal women of Alaska have saved the lives Of many boys will be a source Of life long qualification to an who have participated iu thc work. In re- ioiclng that this phase of Red Cross activity is no longer necessary. Ict us not forget Che misery and suf- fcrlng throughout thc world that mm call to us Co continue our pro- ductiou activity along other lines.

 On November 12th thc citizens or Whitehorsc invited 40 of the
 leading lights ot Skagwoy over Go
 help celebrate tho end Of tho war
 as guests of hc Canadian city. The
 busy merchants or Skogwoy were
 reluctant about going at first until
 some one suggested that they would
 be doing great missionary work for
 che cause or prohibition if they
 joined in Che celebration. and by
 their prccept and example help Co
 show Che folks of thc Yukon the
 beauties of prohibition.
 skogway. without doubt. is Che
 center of Che dry movement In Alas
 ka. and they have a dry squad that is drilled u an propaganda work
 that was mustered out and sent over
 to represent their city.
 The motto for thc day was "Dowu Wtb Rum Hudson Bay); also
 Scotch Uousc Of Lordsl" and it is
 said that thc dry squad oboyed the orders of che day almost to a man. | There Is mo doubt but that a great
 good was accomplished by the trip | for besides burning Che kaiser in cf- ] ury m % pile Of cordwood twenty
 feet high, che dry squad made thc demon rum hard Co catch in White horse. iu nct every time he was discovered be was dragged from his hiding place and killed. the squad being armed with deadly corkscrews for this purpose those corkscrews
 being part Of the outfit Of every good Alaskan since Che territory has gone dry so many times was Che demon slain while Che squad stopped ! u WhItchorsc ,hat Che jealous work ers m thc vineyards were exhausted from tbcIr efforts and many ot them ! |had hardly strength enough Co drag themselves from orc lair Co another. Inc Is said that lf it had not been | for the many drinks of clear cold
 water that were served after each terrific struggle with the demon. many Of Che workers would have l fallen by the wayside.
 As it was. everyone had a joyful time and it Is thought that if telc- graphic orders are not sent out and executed in good time there will not be muct rum or Scotch either, in ! Whitchorsc for quite a spell.
 After Whitchorse had been placed | ln the dry column, Che citizens there were SO grateful that they arranged half an hours stopoyer for Che squad at Carcross on che way home. and that little city was also placed among Che dry ones. it is| said some beautiful propaganda work was done there In tho short space Of time Che train stopped.
 It was an awful day In skagway thc next day. The workers were worn out and heavy-eyed Their throats were parchod from thc fear fuI dust Of Che White Pass route and from raising their voices in thanksgiving that they were chosen for such great work But through it aI they were able to smile with knowledge of a good deed well done.

premacy in the most keenly contested
National exhibitions and to her Is cred
tied the largest wheat and oat yields
America has known. The natural con-
dltlons peculiar to Western Canada
and so adaptable to grain growing, has
been an insurmountable barrier for her
competitors to overcome. In the last
few years the yields of wheat and
oats per acre have surprised the agri-
cultural world. AS much as sixty bush
els of wheat per acre has been grown
on some farms, while others have fur
nlshed affldavits showing over fifty
bushels Of wheat per acre, and oats as
high as one hundred and twenty BUSH
els per acre. One reputable farmer
makes affidavit to a crop return of over
fifty-four thousand bushels of wheat
from q thousand acres. While this is
rather the exception than the rule,
these yields serve to illustrate the fer
tility of the soil and the possibilities
Of the country, when good farming
methods are adopted. Western Can
ada can surely lay undisputed claim to

Halo for Satan.

Certainly most of US would be sur
prised to see q picture of the devil
with halo above his head. We have
become accustomed to recognize the
halo as q perquisite of sacred persons,
most of whom are painted with this
aura around their head, states a writ
er. But in the olden times the devil
also was painted with halo of his
own, as medieval pictures will bear
witness, and long before his satanic
majesty came to be figure in Chris
tian religion, other men were repre-
sented by paintings and mosaic work
ers as having halo over their heads.
In fact, this custom antedates Chris
tianity itself. The halo, sacred now,
was pagan invention. Roman en-
perors and other personRges were al
ways accorded halo by painters. 1t
was a symbol of power. and what
more natural than to invest satan with
a halo when Christianity took hold of
mems souls? For he was the supreme
embodiment of wickedness, of power
diverted to bad ends.

Crop Report for December.

The crop report for the state Of
Missouri, issued by e. A. Logan, field
agent for the United States depart
ment of agriculture, says that the
farmers of Missouri have increased
their wheat acreage 25 per cent. The
increase is FIVE times that suggested
by the federal government last Aug
ust. The acreage seeded this fall Is
$500 acres more than was sown in
1916 and $1,000 more than in 1914.
Seeding began in September and
continued over a longer season than
usual, some being sown as late as
the last Of November in the lowlands
of the southeast. The soil was put
in better condition and more acres
feItiliZed than usual, and a larger
portion of the crop was sown on corn
stubble than is customary.
The backward condition of wheat on
December 1 was caused by the dry
weather of October. and November all
over the state, but 1t was broken by
general rains the last week of No
vember in the southern part. Early
sown wheat has made fair growth,
somewhat retarded by the drouth, but
late sown grain has not yet come up.
The crop got a late start in some
districts Of the state, but the plant
is reported to be well rooted Wheat
o. bottom lands shows a condition
well up to that of the ten year aver
age.
The northeast and south Ozark
section suffered most from fall drouth
but the northwest and central part
show better than an average condi-
ton, being the better territory, while
in the heavy producing east, with a
large acreage. the plant is small and
slow in coming up.
Very little pasturage was afforded
by wheat this fall. The Hessian fly
is absent. Grasshoppers did some
damage in Mercer and Shelby coun-
ties. A blanket of snow over the
whole state. fell the first week in De-
cember.
