JUNIOR RED CROSS

Thousands of men and women OF
this great country Of our are donat-
ing their time and money to the Red
Cross in order to help the people OF
bleeding Europe. The Junior Red
Cross is q branch of this society, or
eanized for the purpose of giving the
children of America a chance to do
their bit. There are millions of boys
and girls in France and Belgium who
are without fathers, mothers and
homes because of the awful war. The
relief Of these helpless children is in
the hands of the American Red Cross
and most of the work done by the
Junior Red Cross members will go to
help the orphans of these countries.
Boys and girls! Are you not willing
to donate twenty-five cents to help
your brothers and sisters on the
other side of the Atlantic?
Teachers and parents, We beg you
to aid the school children of Steele
County so that by February 22nd
every school in the county will be a
Red Gross Auxiliary. AS soon as
each pupil enrolled has paid the fee OF
twenty-five cents, the teacher turns
the money over to the local Red Cross
Branch. A membership certificate
will then be issued and sent to that
school with Red Cross buttons for all
the children. A list showing the
names and addresses of all members
should be sent along with the men,
bership fees. The money thus collect.
ed is used to purchase sewing and
knitting material for the auxiliary.
The following teachers have already
taken hold of this work: Misses Oh
sen and Knain of the Pickert School
we're the first to organize. Miss
Klath of Sharon, Miss Rud of Golden
Lake, Miss Torkelson of New Bergan,
Miss Hagen Of Enger are busy organ
izing Red Cross auxiliaries in their
schools. Misses Green: Strong, Nc
Cullough and Mikkelson of Sher-
brooke, Miss Killie of Broadlawn,
and Miss Larson Of Willow Lake,
have been teaching their pupils how
to knit.
Is every school in Steele County
going to prove one hundred per cent
loyal?

ALL WANTED FRONT SEATS
Many and Ingenious Excuses Given
by Attendants at Billy Sundays
New York Meeting.

Judging from the thousands Of ex-
cuses that were handed to me by per-
sons who wanted to get seats at the
front of the Tabernacle, Uncle Sam
will have a hard time in obtaining men
and women in ft condition to do the
arduous work connected with the
war;" said a man who put in ten
strenuous weeks as an usher at the
Billy Sunday meetings at New York.
Deafness appeared to be the prin'
cipal complaint. I never thought so
many persons in this city were af-
f1icted with bad hearing. Lame men
and women became sc common at the
meetings that we ushers never paid
any attention to them unless it was
obvious that they were really the vic
Tins Of infirmities.
"Some persons physically perfect
eve went so far as to be wheeled tt
the Tabernacle in invalids' chairs just
to get a good place near the evangelist
And the number Of persons who suf'
fered from internal disorders that
might result fatally if they got into 8
jam! I'm certainly glad it is all over
as I was hear to nervous prostration.'
The ex-usher admitted that he was
on the point Of quitting his place many
times, but he feared to weaken an6

fourths miles.
On the other hand if the drive
gains ground further west it will
outflank the positions held by the
French and Americans at Montdidier
and compel their readjustment.
The wings however, seem to be
holding firmly and the only gains
so far made have been in almost the
renter Of the line, where they are
least harmful to the security of the
fronts on either side Of the new battle
area.
According to advices from the
frunt the Germans have thrown more
than 100000 men against the line
which measures little over twenty
miles in length. This does not equal
the numbers hurled against the Brit
ish before Cambria on March 21, nor
is it such concentration of men
to the mile as was used at the in
ception of the German offensive in
Flanders in April, but it is a men,
acing force to which may be added
at any time the full weight of the
German reserves which are believed
to be massed somewhere near.

Battling their way forward in the
center Of the Montididier-N -Noyon line,
the Germans are making slight gains.
The fighting is the most furious Of
the year. German advances have
been made at heavy cost.
Along the valley of the Matz, the
Germans are making their main prog
ress. The apex of the new salient
now extends from Merry to Elincourt,
about seven miles. Monday, in san.
culinary fighting, the Germans cap
tured Merry, Belioy, St. Maure and
reached Elincourt and Marquesklise.
The deepest penetration has been to

miles.
On the western wing the French
line holds steadfast and heavy and
continuous attacks have made no i'm.

mans have advanced from several
hundred yards to a mile, the greatest
gain being on the right center in

are reported to have debouched.

lively controversy has been going
on this week between clubwomcn of

littlc ankles with long skirts, let nc
ctfer the suggestion that they also
scratch their eyes out and thus finish
the job in truly feline manner.
Right in the face of the grandstand
play they have all been making for
equal rights to all women they would
deliberately take away from their less
same things that they themseves so
love to wear, and by putting them in
long-sklrted uniforms stamp and regis
ter them as a class apart frqm them
selves. And this we hear at time
when our big, free country is trying
to lead in democracy and freedom from
class differences.
and why, ladies'? Don't you know
that putting the working girl into cot
ton stockings and high collars will not
make her any less attractive if she
has charm Of manner and bright eyes
and we know that she is intelligent?
There is no room for fools in the bust

sit across the table from one, but you
can bet your rouge aHa powder box

'Now that sweater knitting and can

fall back on that old, time-worn topic
of the working girl and her dress. Re

gains. The doctor shrugged his shoul-
ders, and said: Let them look out
for themselves. Are they such fools
as to believe that | can cure them in
five days?'
And then, when his son went to en-
list in the war, a blood test showed
an inherited disease which made him
unfit for the army. lIc goes home 20
