ELEVATOR BURNS.

Big LOSS 20 the village OF Das5ell.
At noon on Monday last the Farm
er's Cooperative Elevator at Dassel
was discovered to be on fire and in
spite of all effort the entire upper
part Of the building was destroyed.
Owing to the fact that about 10000
bushels of grain was in the elevator at
the time, the fire department swas en-
abled to get the flames under control
when they had burned down to top of
the grain, but of course the
grain was thoroly smoked and was
nearly worthless for market. Parties
of Dassel estimate the loss at about
$4,000, which is sad one to that vii
lage. We could get no figures as to
the amount Of insurance carried

THIS WEEKS FOOD FACTS.

Americans must send to Europe this
year SO per cent more food than she
sent last year. Americans had to do
'some saving" last year. To increase
this so per cent means they will have
to save more this year. Mr.. Hoover
says there must be absolutely no
waste Every person must save his
share in order that the boys abroad
may be sustained in the big job of
delivering the Knockout blow to the
Hun.
The new styles for public eating
places" announced week ago, &C.
cording to the United States Food ad-
ministration, are to be enforced. This
means that il there is not patriotic
cooperation on the part of public
eating places, the United States food
administration will not hesitate to
compel compliance with its orders
through the control Of the distribution
of sugar, -four, and other supplies.
This means compliance or practical
discontinuance of business.
Because the Minnesota club, per-
haps the most exclusive organization
of the kind in St.Paul, made false state
ment regarding the amount of sugar
it had on hand and attempted to hold
more sugar than it was properly en-
titled to under the food administration
regulation, it has been deprived Of all
licensed food commodities from Oc-
tober 10, 1918, to January 1, 1919, in
elusive and no sugar certificates will
be issued to it until January /.
Sugar may be saved by using
None on fruits.
None on deserts.
Less in cereals.
Less in coffee and tea.
LESS in cakes and candy.
More of other sweeteners and less
than two pounds per person per month
by everybody.
About 200,00O,00 pounds of sugar
will be saved annually by the new reg
ulation which became effective Octo-
Der Is, requiring consumers to pur-
chase their allotments Of sugar in
monthly or Is day supplies rather than
by the week. Purchases of one-hal1
pound per capita per week has given
many unintention7 sugar slackers two
pounds for every four weeks. This
would mean "a pounds for q weeks
Instead of "a pounds for 81 weeks OF
an extra two pounds per person per
year. With .100; 900, 900 people in the
United States, this would mena an ex
ira 200, 000; 900 pounds per year. The
new rule saves this amount.

AN APPEAL TO THE
WOMEN OF WILLMAR

Have you son or brother over
there or in a camp here?
What sacrifice would we not make
for these boys who are so nobly serv-
ing this, our country? They have CIV
en- up home and loved ones and many
are making the supreme sacrifice for
you, that you may be unframed. But
many things must be sent to them,
that they may be properly cared for
when sick or wounded. Many thou
sands of dressings and bandages to
perhaps save their lives Are you
helping to make even ONE dressing
for one boy? Or do you leave it for
the little band Of workers who have
worked all these months to meet our
county's allotments Of the needed
dressings? Is it fair that only few
must carry on this work? Can you
not find time to give one afternoon
or evening week and do your share?
This work belongs to you and to every
woman in Kandiyohi county The
time is Tuesday and Thursday every
week and the place is the Red Cross
rooms in the Masonic temple.

BAN ON MEETINGS
Is NOT LIFTED
Health Officer Rain. Speak. Of
Conditions Bearing on Con-
troll of the Flu"

Health officer DR.. Rains made the
following statement today In an inter.
view with the editor:
1.-THE public schools will not be opened
at present and probably not before the
week after next. 1t is no use to omen
them until there is marked abatement
OF the disease. At present there are
quite number of cases among the
children. Nor will the ban be lifted
on other public gatherings, including
churches, and movies. People should
not unduly expose themselves as condi-
lions are serious thruout the state.
Those who are recovering should stay
in the house or away from work until
they have fully recovered their
strength. We have had two deaths
this week from pneumonia following
influenza. The experience in Eastern
cities show that the crest of the cpl
demic is not reached for from four to
five weeks.
"The greatest trouble we have at
present is to secure nurses of any kind.
Cali those who have had influenza
have it or have had it, should wear
MASKS, especially Wnou LUey are WORK.
ing indoors. Masks are furnished free
to all and can be obtained from all
physicians, drug stores and relief
headquarters"
The fact that all precautions for
spread of influenza are taken here do
not indicate that conditions are any
worse at Willmar than in any Of the
surrounding towns. On the other
hand such action makes it safer for
the people to do their necessary bust
ness here. Many absurd stories are
afloat which are gross exaggerations.

ARMY OFFICERS WIVES
WORKING FOR RED CROSS

Wives of army officers are setting
the pace in providing comforts for the
soldiers. At the various United States
army posts they are knitting assidu-
ously, supplementing their w work
with Red Cross supplies in order to
give every man who goes out from
the forts complete sets of knitted gar
ments. In addition, they are turning
out vast quantities of surgical supplies
for the Red Cross.
AT Fort Jay. Governors Island, a
Red Cross auxiliary meets every
Thursday at the commandments resi-
dence. The group, composed of a
score Of women, spend the day making
congresses, folding bandages or roll
ing gauze.
Wives of officers at Fort Hamilton,
have with the help of the Red Cross
fitted out a regiment of soldiers going
overseas with complete outfits of knit
ted garments.
At Fort Totten, Mrs. Aston Hamil-
ton, wife of Colonel Hamilton, COM
handing the post, and a group of army
women, began last fall to knit for the
soldiers, and not a man sailed for
France from this point without being
fully supplied with knitted apparel.

Same Old Self Again

ances. He wheeled round or them
like a shot, and they remembered
pressing business over the other side
of camp.
Finally the Red Cross man noticed
him and after much diplomacy got at
the heart of his trouble. Pat had no
family except an older sister, with
whom he had had a fight way back in
1901. They had never spoken since.
In camp he began to think about him
self, and the idea of going off to
France with no n to say goodby
and no one to write letters Or give a
damn if he got shot was getting on his
nerves. He thought about his sister,
and the more he thought the more he
realized what a darn fine woman she
was and what a fool he'd been. He'd
about sell his soul to get in touch with
her again, but he had no idea where
she lived. He knew she was married,
but did not know to whom, but that
was all he could tell.
BY communicating with the Red
Cross Chapter in Sullivan's home town
the home service man finally got on
her trail. Having located her, he
wrote the prettiest letter he knew how,
telling how her brother had repented
and wanted to hear from her, etc.
For days there was no reply, and
the secretary had about given 1t up
when Pat burst into his tent M eve

HER TITAN HAIR.

The matron of the hospital repeated
ly told the nurses to be sure to dry as
well as clean the instruments "If you
don't dry them thoroughly they will
rust" she had SAID so often.
And the little girl, the star patient,
they called her, who had been there so
long, knew all the instructions, rules
and regulations by heart, and especially
this piece of advice and direction.
A new nurse entered the hospital not
long ago.. Her hair was of a gorgeous
red. 1t was the envy of all.
"How did you ever get hair of such
a wonderful color?" asked one of the
nurses, ~maliciously.
"It's quite natural" the new nurse
replied quietly.
But the little girl called out from her
bed:

The Red Cross is now placing two

and cantonment throughout the coun-
try to get In touch with the men who
have family problems In which the
service may be of assistance. Proba-
bly, not one-half of the cases they
work IN require financial assistance.
But every conceivable family difficulty
that can come TO a group of 25,000
men has to be met and dealt with by
the Red Cross workers. The following
story is typical of dozens of cases In
which a Red Cross man has brought
scattered families together.
Patrick Sullivan was the strong
man of Camp Dix. Six feet two in his
stockings, with arms like a gorilla. 1t
was IN unfortunate recruit who got
into the grip Of his iron paws. Few
did.
The second day after coming to
camp Pat announced he was champion
wrestler, boxer and strong a ex-
traordinary of the camp. And to date
there is no one who has not taken his
word for it. He had a big, genial
Irish face, too, that should have been
laughing at the whole world.
Lonely and UnsociabIe.
Instead of that he would loaf around
his barracks by himself or take lonely
little strolls up and down the COM

CHILDREN SHELTERED
FROM BOCHE SHELLS
Taken Into Cellars Beyond
HARMS Reach.

lies caveslf Les cavesr' " want
to go in the cellar |"
Shrill cries from Jean and Marie
and Felix and hundreds of other
French youngsters, huddled together in
little frightened groups. answered the
booming of the big guns, the crackle
of the mitrailleuses and the intermit-
tent hum of a Boche airplane.
The children were gathered in the
old fort on the hill, overlooking a town
very close to the front, where the Red
Cross takes care of them. The cathe-
dral bell had tolled for five minutes,
though you could hardly hear it for
the roar of the guns, and the siren
had blown. Then the people in the
town below had scurried to their cell
lars, for that was a warning of a raid
er coming.
In the cellar they would have been
quite content and unafraid. For more
months than they could remember they
had been living in cellars in the little
shell swept villages near the town and
sometimes in dugouts in the hills. But
the Red Cross and the project had
taken them away from their homes,
and now there were no cellars.
A dozen little girls crowded into one
big bed. With the bedclothes owe
your head 1t was dark. Perhaps the
bomb wouldn't get you there. Half
an hour seemed ten hours.
Then the guns stopped firing, and
it was quiet again. The Boche had
gone. Only the restless searchlights
still guarded the sky.
Below there in the town a tenement
house had been cut in two. A poilu
had come all the way from Salonica,
1000 miles away, to see his wife and
three children. But the German
bombs found them first.
On the hill the children were safe
this time. You can't always be safe
from the bombs when the Boche car
ries them. But the children are always
safe from guns and gas and disease
and filth and hunger. So much safety
the Red Cross can and does give them
for the sake of tomorrow In France. !

RED CROSS ASKS AID
FOR BELGIAN SUFFERERS

Thousands Of shoes are needed today by destitute people OF occupied Bel
GUM and northern France. Due % scarcity of leather in Belgium, it is vfr-
tuany impossible for even the well to do to buy shoes there. Fnmsy footgear
is being made of leather substitutes, some of them with soles thin IS card
board and scarcely more durable" and all costing exorbitant prices, some Of
them being 500 a pair-$1S a pair is the average.
The Commission for Relief in Belgium n the American. Red Cross are
conducting a nationwide campaign for the purpose of collecting shoes and
clothing here in America % send the Belgans and French people inside the
German lines Red Cross chapters throughout the United States nave been
asked by 3. p. Dawson, chairman of the Red Cross War Council, to undertake
collection of this badly needed clothing, which will be sent abroad at once %
In the photograph is shown a group of Belgian relief helpers sorting shoes
for shipment abroad. So precious las leather become tho uppers If badly
worn shoes are used in repairing other lessworn shoes, ma~ng a durable set
of footgear. Every scrap of leather Americans car spare is needed now.
Durable clothing is repaired in the same painstaking fashion by hundreds of
women in occupied Belgium and France, who AVE been modified and trained
int an efficient organization for this work.
Red Cross chapters re collection stations for surplus shoes and clothing.
