How can we show our gratitude to
our boys lover there" for bringing
this war to SO glorious and early an
end? What better gift could we
send them on Xmas eve than mes
sage that every home in the U. S. has
100 per cent membership in the Red
Cross? The annual Xmas roll call is
planned for the week of Dec. 1928,
when every loyal man and woman
will either renew membership or en-
roll as q member of this vast home
army.
Each individual will then receive q
1919 Red Cross button and ten Xmas
seals, such as were formerly distrib-
uted by the anti-tuberculosis league.
Each household having q 1919 men,
ber is entitled to a service flag to be
hung in the window with Red Cross
stickers for every additional member,
every member in the A. E. F., and
every member of the Junior Auxiliary.
One dollar pays your annual MEM
bership dues, while two dollars gives
you in addition, the Red Cross Mag
azine, an interesting monthly period
lcal, which keeps you in touch with
the work here and abroad. By the
cessation of war the labors of the
Red Cross are by no means ended.
On the contrary there are even great
er problems to face. The families of
our soldiers and sailors must still be
cared for as well as the impoverished
people of Europe. This is work for
the Red Cross and that means you!
President Wilson gave this slogan
for the Red Cross Xmas Roll Call,
~ summon you to the comradeship."

PULLING DOWN WAR

The interests, who put up the big
slush funds for the last campaign and
elected many an old-guard politician
to congress, are evidently anxious to
see the color of their money again in
the very near future. They are not
going to wait for the spoils of nom
constructive reconstruction. Not
they, although these spoils, If all goes
we'll, will nearly equal war profits.
The standpat congressman are al
ready planning great reductions in
war profits taxes and Washington is
humming with lobbyists to win over
the congressman who may be less
than 100 per cent standpat. Those
who gorged in 1918 do not have to
disgorge all that the big revenue bill
contemplated if congress can be made
to change its mind. Two or three
billions Topped off of war profits tax
alton will be handsome return for
the few millions spent in the election
It's bigger return than Rockefeller
can make on a straight oil selling
proposition-2O or 800 per cent.
AS usual the big papers missed this
issue entirely. They thought the re-
cent election hinged on the "loyalty'
issue. Isn't it funny the way the
special interests can deceive our big
papers? Time and time again these
papers have evidently known nothing
of big deal like this until it was
pulled off, and then they are profes-
sionally ashamed to tell about it.

Farmers Respond.

Farmers from every section Of
Missouri are responding TO the call
to market Immediately all available
wheat Reports coming to the
Office of the state food administra-
ton show that delivery from farm
ers for the week ending April 6
were SO per cent greater than in
the preceding week, 1t is believed
by F. B. MuL ford. federal food adj
ministrator, that the amount mar
keted during the week ending April
80 will be double the receipts of the
week ending March, 80
The measure of every farmers
patriotism during the next two
weeks will be his response to the
Government order requiring him to
sell his wheat Every available
bushel OF wheat is urgently needed
This statement in itself should be
a sufficient appeal to every farmer
who is patriotic TO bring to market
every surplus bushel of wheat, No
Missouri farmer can afford to hold
his wheat and run the risk of being
called a Stacker

In Memory.

The following lines were written
in memory of Francis Byron Little
who died March 81, 1918:
Fare thee well, oh gentle Francis
They have laid you down to rest,
In that narrow home forever,
But, my darling, God knows best.
You have left a loving mother
Brothers, sisters, who tried to save
But you were called. dear Francis,
To fill that silent grave.
So sleep on darling Francis,
In that sweet and restful sleep;
You shall wake no more To sorrow ",
You shall wake no more . weep
1t will not be long. nv dear.
Till YOU meet loved ones again
In that world of joY and triumph
Where there is no sin or pain.
Weep no more, loved ones,
Though we know its hard to bear
You would not call him back again
To this world of pain and care

Rules For Households.


A simple and brief statement Of
the food regulations as they directly
affect the household has been issued
by the Missouri Division Of the
United States Food Administration.
These new regulations, effective
April 3, follows:
All householders who can entire
ly eliminate the use of wheat until
the next harvest. about September
/, should do SO,
"Householders who are obliged
to use wheat should not use more
than a total Of one and ohe-half
pounds of wheat -four or prepared
wheat, in any form per person per
week, Including the wheat -four in
Victory bread. and including the
wheat -four or prepared wheat in
crackers, pastry. macaroDl, break
fast and other foods.
This rationing requires more
restricted use of wheat than that
asked for by the observance of
wheatless days and meals, which are
no longer obligatory, but in practice
it win be found that an even wider
and more strict observance of
wheatleSS days and meals will aid
greatly in limiting the household
consumption of wheat flour and
other prepared wheat to one and
ODe-half pounds per person per
week.
In buying wheat -four an equal
weight Of other cereals as substitutes
for wheat -four must be bought
pound for pound. In buying era.

the substitutes in them may be
counted so that a smaller proportion
Of substitutes may be bought with
these f1ourS than with wheat -four.
This is the SO so rule.
Wheat -four substitute are HON.

edible corn starch, barley -four, roll
ed oats, oatmeal, rice, rice flour,
buckwheat -four, potato -four, sweet
potato -four. Soya bean -four aud
feterita -four and meals.
"HUusehOIderS in towns and cities

HOuSehOiderS in the country may
not buy more than one fourth of a
barrel of -four at any one time. In
no event shall any purchaser have
more than 80 days supply on hand
"All kinds of food, especially
wheat, meats, fats and sugar,
should be economically used.
Grow and use local supplies;
this saves transportation.
These regulations are necessarily
subject to change at any time as the
needs of the Allies and our own
needs demand"

S. 1880 and died at the home of his
mother. Mrs. Mary E. Montgomery
near Indian Creek, Friday, April
10. 1918.
His death which occurred sudden
ly was the result of an affection
which befell him in early childhood
and which overshadowed his entire
life. His faculties being impaired
however, did not prevent his devel.

the true friend, and this combined
with his genial disposition and

INCREASE NOTED
 IN FIRING Of
 ARTILLERY GUNS
Followed By swifter As saults and Attacks the
 Wars Developments.

Behind British Lines in France, Sept. 30 ((Correspondence of The Associated Press. ss.)-1ncreasing speed of fire and ever swifter assaults and maneuvers have been the principle developments of the art of war this year. A year ago an attack was a lumbening ponderous' thing, moving along heavily and deliberately behind a great weight of artillery prepara- tion. Today speed is the thing. The rate of advance in the British army has been increased four-fOld in the past year.
 Behind the screen of sWift-movlng tanks, armored motor cars and cav- airy, the assault divisions rush into the German positions, occupying trenches, stamping out isolated nests of resistance and collecting the mass es of prisoners. The infantry neces- sarily move more slowly than the mobile assault forces, but when one takes into account the width of the usual thrust operation nowadays and it's depth, the movement is wonder fully fast, and days operations, if successful, mean the occupation of
 
 In particular, speed has been ap- piled to the movement of artillery, which is the vital thing ill holding the positions won. Mechanical i'm provements have been applied to gun tractors su that now guns can be brought up in quarter of the time that was necessary few months ago. In the same way the tank has become mobile gun battery, able to fire as it advances.
 Motor transport is the essential fac- tor in concentrating infantry. Food, ammunition, water and all supplied are carried up in motor trucks.
 As fast as the line moves, the en- gineers are busy extending the light railways, and as fast as the rails are laid, they begin to carry their bur- den of supplies and ammunition. Many miles of track can now be laid by a single section of engineers in day, and by the evening after suc- cessful attack, the late field of bat tie is criss crossed with line after line of steel rails, all hard at work consolidating and preparing for a further step forwarn
 AS speed or attdcK ueVeiopS OH tHe allied side, so the helter-skelter char acter of the German movement in the opposite direction must increase. The effect of a sudden push-back on the German lines is like the impact of locomotive on train of freight cars, the shock drives the farthest freight car farthest back. The effect of the Allied blows is immesurably en- chanced by the speed with which it is delivered

TURKEY WILL BE
 SURRENDERING JUST ANY DAY

Boston. Oct. James l.. Barton, foreign secretary of the American board of commissioners for foreign missions who has lived in Turkey and is familiar with conditions there. be. lieves that one may expect any day to hear of Turkeys unconditional sur- render to the entente allies.
 For two years and more," he said today, "the Turks themselves have realized that they were in on the wrong side. The Germans and the Turks have never got on we'll. Re- peatedly German officers have been shot by angered Turks, while Ger mans have shot the Turks. This anti pathy reached such a stage in some places that the Germans withdrew in disgust.
 While the Turks hate the Germans and are ready to throw them over at the first opportunity all the rest of the population of the country are un- compromisingly antiGerman. These are the Armenians. Syrians. Greeks, and Jews. More than one half of the country have been from the first. strongly pro-ally.
 Turkeys surrender which ill the face of recent events is sure to come soon. will open the Dardanelles to the allied fleet-probably the Ameri- can. This will put the Black Sea at the service of the allies for cleaning lip and give them full access to the Caucasus. the heart of Russia and the remote side of Rumania and crush Germany out of all her eastern con- quests and open the way for com- pletely investing the empire. When Turkey yields there is a strong prob ability that all Germans who have failed to escape will be shot. Von Sanders saw the handwriting on the sky and got through Bulgaria in time; others may not be so successful"

FUTILE RESISTANCE
British Literally Shoot Way Through
 German Lines.

By The Associated Press. :.
 With the British Army in France, Oct. 1.--Enemy trenches some dis tance east of Gonnelieu and Villers- Guislain, have been reached and held although the Germans resisted to the utmost. The British here literally cut and shot their way through the ene- my to each objective.
 BanteuX was stormed and the Ger mans driven back to the line of the canal Grevecour, Varcelles and San court (Joncourt) are strongly held by the enemy, but it is doubtful whether they can hold out long. Here, as elsewhere the enemy apparently is holding as best he can and not giv- ing up anything until forced to do so.
 Some German machine gunners have fought with the greatest gallan- try, pouring heavy fire into the ad- vancing British until silenced by com- plete annihilation.
 There was hard fighting for Pro- vile, west of Cambrai, before it fin ally fell. The British lines have been drawn still closer at Cambrai and the British hold the junction of the Cam brai-Arras and Cambrai-Bapaume roads.
