Cross. In relief work on the battle
fields and in the rest areas, in care of
the civilian populations of the devas-
tated regions of Europe, in looking
after the welfare of the families of the
American troopers, and after the well
fare Of the troopers themselves no
other organization has even approach
ed the accomplishments of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. 1t was to this truly
American society that the American
and allied prisoners in the hell-holes
of the German prison camps looked
for the supplies which stood between
them and death from starvation. 1t
was to the Red Cross organization that
the prisoners in Germany and Austria
looked for nearly all of the scant al
servitude.
100 Per Cent Membership.
For these reasons and because
nearly every family in America bene-
| fitted either directly or indirectly by
| the operations of the American Red
| Cross, the officials in charge of the
| Christmas roll call campaign in Kan
hundred per cent membership sub
! scription during the week before
| Christmas.
At present it looks as tho the flu
| ing regular old time war drive type
of campaign. 1t appears now as tho
the people of Kansas and of the
United States will be cast upon their
| honor to return substantial thanks for
the work done by the American Red
| Cross in the war. Indications all
point to the fact that the Christmas
roll call of the American Red Cross
will have to be handled on the volun-
teer basis, and it is hoped that the
volunteers will swamp and inundate
the campaign headquarters under the
flood of new and renewed member
ships.

GRANGE is POSTPONED
But Kansas Body Must Meet and Ad-
journ Daily.

On account of the flu ban in New
ton, the annual meeting. of the Kan
SOS State Grange which was to have
been held December 10, II, IL has
been postponed indefinitely. But the
enforced postponement brings to light
a peculiar feature of the bylaws and
constitution of the State Grange.
In neither the constitution nor the
bylaws is there any provision made by
which in case of necessity the annual
meeting of the grange can be conven-
ed on any other than the second Tues
day in December. To obviate this
omission it is necessary that the con-
vention convene tomorrow. 1t does.
An officer of the institution meets
every morning with himself, and be-
cause he in himself cannot constitute
a quorum, adjourns the meeting from
day to day, This officer will meet
with himself every day. and adjourn
the meeting of himself until tomorrow.
until such time as the flu ban is lifted
at Newton and the needed quorum can
be in attendance.
The Shawnee county, and other
county delegates to the State Grange.
will be notified as to- the time and
place of the convention when held.

MORGAN TO FOURTH ESTATE.
Tenders Resignation as Warden O
Federal Penitcntiary.

Leavenworth, Dec. 9.-Thomas w.
Morgan, who has rendered, his resig-
nation as warden of the federal peni-
Tertiary, will probably engage in the
newspaper business again. He will
remain here until Attorney General
Gregory appoints his successor. 1t is
said that none of the officers connect
ed with the penitentiary will be ad-
vanced to warden. The -factional
spirit shown among them has injured
their chances for advancement. 1t is
rumored that the warden of an In
diana prison may be appointed. The
position pays $4,000 year salary
and the warden is furnished his liv-
ing in the way of meat and groceries.

 The reason given for the ad- vance iD ginning is the exceed ingly dry weather that prevailed during June and July which forced the opening at much earlier date
 The quality is about the same generally as that ginned here last year. There will De a consid erable shortagein the crop. how ever Carlisle will gin is the neighborhood Of the same amount as last year.

 Dear Sirs:
 Enclosed fina U. s. Public Health Service bulletin on influ enza which will give you excel lent information on influenza. In Carlisle to date there have been reported l25 cases and with the able assistance of your local health officer and the help Of your local authorities we believe the situation well under control in Carlisle. However. you will please call to the attention of your people the necessity of co1- tinuing these precautions owing to the fact that there are possi- bly, from 15o to 200 cases ill the country and these may be ex pected to reinfect new cases. Also you may call their atten- tion to the fact that one attack does not confer immunity against later attacks so it is necessary to use every possible method to isolate and quarantine immedi- ately all realsor suspected cases. As the situation looks at the present time it seems proper to reopen school Monday under medical supervision so as to ex- clude all suspected cases.
 Thanking you for your courte- sy and thanking your people for their splendid cooperation. I am
