RED CROSS ITEMS

The declaration OIL peace does not
mean let up of Red Cross work for
year at least. We are urged by
the Northern Division not to cease our
efforts in the least, as there is still
great need of refugee garments.
The first shipment of our quota con-
sisting Of 300 sweater vests has arriv-
ed, these are to be given precedence
over other work and finished as quick
ly as possible, while the rest Of the
quota, consisting OF 100 girls dresses,
SO women's skirts, so women's draw
ers, 200 comfort bags and 300 prop
erty bags must be finished by Dec. 10.
Official instructions have been is
sued to discontinue all surgical dress
ings throughout the nation but these
same workers are urged to devote
their energies to the making of refu-
gee garments, of which there is an
ever increasing demand, in fact, they
are the demand of the hour, just as
surgical dressings have been in the
past.
Much credit is due the supervisors
and workers of the S. D. department
whether there were of them or so,
for their untiring energy and prompt
ness in hustling them all allotments
assigned, whether small or large
such as making $50 gauze pads, 14x2O
in one day, even though they had to
organize a "ghost party" to do it.
Socks and sweaters are still in de-
mand. No colored yarns must be used
in making socks. There is plenty of
sock and sweater yarn on hand at
present. Anyone having any knitted
garments or yarn taken out since July
18th please return at once.
We wish to thank all who so gen
erously responded to the "Hospital
Linen Shower for France" Valley
City went over the top as usual and
more than exceeded her quota, which
was very gratifying.
We have had nice long vacation
and hope there will be good turn
out to help through this quota.
The Branch rooms will be open
Monday afternoon at p. m. for work
Christmas cartons may be obtained
at the Branch rooms, also. All must
be in before Nov. 20. Better apply
at once.
A telegram received today from
Northern Div s:cn headquarters asks:
us to have our allotment Of sweater
vests finished by Nov. rs, if possible
This will will mean all day sessions
and perhaps evening ones also with |
good attendance at each session. i
MRS. HANNA,
Chairman of Branch.

SPENDING AMERICAS
BOUNDING BILLIONS

Billions of dollars invested in Lib
erty Bonds, millions paid for Thrift
and War Stamps, thousands of Ameri-
cans learning for the first time the
meaning of direct taxation-this is
one of the big stories of America s
participation in the World War.
Inevitably, however, the question is
asked by the millions of investors and
taxpayers, "What is the Government
doing with this hitherto undreamed
of national income?" 1t is in responce
to this legitimate query, it is ANNOUNCE
ed by the Division of Films, Commit
tee on Public Information, of which
George Creel is chairman, that the
government issued it's latest conlpre-
hensive war picture, "America's An
swer," which will be made known at
the Normal Auditorium Monday eve
ming, Nov. rs.
americas Answer" pictorializes in
a comprehensive way what has been
accomplished in France under the d.
rection of Gen. John J. Pershing dur
ing the first year of Americas An
swer," which the Governments new
picture is said to visualize. The pic
ture also answers the Kaiser's report
ed declaration that america would'n
fight" by showing American soldiers
in actual battle, going "Over the Top"
defeating the crack Hun shock troops
nd winning for the American Marines
the title of Devil Dogs"
"America's Answer is distributed
by the World Film Corporation.

PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION MONDAY
PROVES TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
FROST CAUSE OF
BLIGHT ON RYE

Frost has caused the blight of
winter rye. according to II. l.. Boil
ley, state seed commissioner who is
sued the following statement on the
question today: ,
"a good many reports have been
received regarding blighted winter
rye found in various parts of the
state We have examined many
samples and found that there Is no
indication of any infectious diseases
or fungus blight.
'There are also no indications Of
any insect general work, although
wire worm and cut worms, in some
cases, have done a part of the dam
age.
"All our samples and the inform
alton given to us, indicate that the
damage was done by late, frost. So
far as we are able to learn, only the
erlier fields have been injured. In
other fields, where the crop was
very early a considerable amount of
damage has been done. The heads
appear to have been frozen or partly
frozen while they were in the shot
blade. In some cases, the heads
are not properly filled because the
blossoms were killed. The pollen
sacks in such heads show signs Of
being frosted. Thev have an oily
appearance, and do not open up and
throw out pollen.
Several farmers have asked
whether or not they should cut their
rye for hay. We do not think it
wise to cut the rye at all, until the
owner can be certain that thssZscer "a
not enough heads filling to fiaKsGz
worth while saving for harvest.
Farmers soon will be able to tell this
by feeling the heads, and as soon as
the grain can be felt or seen, they
should make examinations Of their
fields" 4,

MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY

Two thousand soldiers who were
being transferred from Fort Slocum
to Fort Hamilton, take part in
''The Man Without a Country. the
Thanhouser film which Jewel Pro-
ductions, Inc, brings into the Royal
Theatre on Saturday, June 20. The
"Sammies are shown at their quar-
ters, lining up for roll. call and
marching to the train waiting to
take them to their new station.
Lieut.. Col. Maulden, Commandant
of Fort Slocum, was so interested in
''The Man without a Country" that
he gave Director Ernest C. Warde
a force of men to help him and
every assistance in his power to
make the patriotic feature success.
''The Man Without Country" is a
real picture of real army life and
shows just how sons and brothers
will look every hour of the day
after they have marched away to do
their bit. While at Fort Slocur1,
director Warde thanked a group OF
officers for the effective cooperation
they had given him, whereupon T..
E. Major replied, "We are glad to
help. A picture like this one you
are putting on will do more good
than thousand patriotic speeches.
Motion pictures have wonderful
influence and in this instance no one
can deny that their influence is be-
ing exerted for the good of the Ma
tion."

On account of the patriotic cele-
bration in Bowbells on Monday of

The voters of = Burke county
plainly showed that they did not
care to be dictated to by John Ro-
mine, former county auditor, who
while in office tried to get away
with some of the public funds, and
who after he had peen out Of office
for nearly a year returned to the
county treasurer money which
+ should have been turned in some
wears be FORE Romine had fixed up
what. WIS supposed to be farmers

On the road trying to induce farm
crs to vote. this ticket. The re-
,ur,s given below show how many
farmers were willing to be dictated
to, RCm.ne himself was a candi-
date for the office of sheriff Of Burke

thought of course that ne had a

the democrats did not approve OF
him sticker bearing the name OF
A. w. Huss was mailed to all mem

a big majority voted with the stick
er, which fact is beating Romlne
out of the nomination by vote OF
four to one 1t is ;, believed that
this will end Romine's POLITICAL am
bitions in this county.
In most cases the county officers
who are now serving the people re-
ceived the nomination. The only
changes which were made were N
cases where the present officer Was
not a candidate to succeed himself.
There are some surprises, but it is
believed that the best men have re-
ceived the nomination all around.

received the nomination, and both

able to make any campaign before

charge of the Ignite schools. He
could only get away on Saturdays
and was able to see only small

fore the general election and 1t is
generally believed that the result
will be different then.
