The government is calling for $4,000
young women to join the United States
Student Nurse Reserve and hold them
selves in readiness to train for service
as nurses. The war is creating an I'M
precedented demand for trained nurses.
Only those who have taken the full
training course are eligible for service
with our forces overseas. These nurses
are being drawn largely from our hos
pitfalls at home. Their places must be
filled by student nurses enrolled for the
full training course Of from two to three
years. Every young woman who enrolls
in the United States Student Nurse Re-
serve is releasing nurse for service
at the front and swelling the home army
which we must rely on to act as our
second line of hospital defense. Upon
the health of the American people will
depend the spirit Of their fighting
forces. The call is for women between
the ages Of nineteen and twenty-five,
and enrolment will begin July %.

Sixteen grocers accused as food pro
fiteers were rounded up by inspectors
from the Office of District Food Admin
istrator Clarence R. Wilson in Wash
ington City. Owners of groceries Wis
tied by the inspectors were charging
exorbitant prices for wheat flour, sugar
and cheese.
"I'd like a pound of cheese" one OF
the inspectors told the owner OF a
grocery. The cheese was weighed and
handed to him and the inspector gave
in payment IS cents, the highest price
that can be charged for cheese accord
ing to the rule OF the food administra-
ton.
"Cheese is 40 cents a pound" the
grocer said.
The inspector paid the price, and
then told the grocer to report for
hearing at the District Food Admins
tration office as proGteer.
"You will have plenty of company"
the inspector added. Fifteen others
on this street are demanding and get
ting exorbitant prices, not only for
cheese, but for flour and sugar as we'll"
The inspectors found that Seventh
street grocers are charging ~ to 9
cents pound for wheat flour, with the
administration price listed at 7 cents,
and 10 cents pound for sugar, whereas
the administration lists sugar at 81 to
9 cents a pound.

THE GOLF CLUB.

Much increased interest is now be-

During the last few weeks quite
number of new members have been
received. Also the monthly dim
ners have been started again, which
have added much to the pleasure Of
the members, mad the goodfeeling
mad fellowship among the people of
the city.
The Directors have arranged for
shorter golf course; one that can be
enjoyed by many of the members
who find the new course a little too
strenuous. The lake only requires
one more days work, which will be
done as soon as the weather permits.
The water will then be turned on
and will prove great attraction.
The golf committee has planned
flag tournament to be held within
the next two weeks. Following that
there will be a match between Rome

The future of the club has never
been brighter.
