RED CROSS HAS
PUBLICITY
MANAGER

Manager Simpson announces the
appointment of Arthur B. Grindell,
we'll known newspaper man in Seat
tie, as director of publicity for the
Northwestern division of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
Mr. Grindell has assumed his duties
and will at once set about co-ordinat-
ing and unifying the publicity work of
the division. Several numbers of the
new division Red Cross Bulletin have
already made their appearance, and
give promise of filling an important
place in the activities of the various
chapters.
Owing to repeated requests made
to the Red Cross to handle particu-
lar shipments for particular individ-
uaIs, Manager Stimson of the North
west division has found it advisable to
issue to chapters the following letter,
which speaks for itself
ITO all chapters of the Northwestern
Division:
AS we are continually being asked

ments to designated consignees in
France, we think it advisable to no
tify all chapters fully in this regard.
For many reasons, which include
transportation difficulties both trans
atlantic and in France, the Red Gross

crisis, accept shipments for designated
consignees in France other than those

organizations with which we have
made cooperative arrangements to
distribute supplies under the direc-
ton of the Red Cross, thus becoming
a part of the Red Cross organization
and obviating the possibility of dupli-
cation and wasted effort.
such cooperative arrangements in
France have been made with the fol-
lowing organizations:
a Military Hospital No. 1 (hereto-
fore known as American Ambulance).
"2. Military Hospital No. 2 (here-
tofore known at Blake HospitaD.
"3. American Distribution Service.
81. Surgical Dressings Committee.
IS. American Fund for French
Wounded.
&C. Friends Unit.
~. DR.. Fetch Hospital
"8. Mrs. Parks Hospital at Annel.
Therefore, any shipments of stand
! ard supplies ordered for the above
nsAaed organizations may be accepted
and forwarded to warehouses for ex-
port by the Red Cross.
"As we are at present unable to
.. obtain sufficient transportation and
other accommodations for the hand
ling of our own vitality needed goods
ordered by our foreign commissions
we cannot accept shipments to desig

"Our inability to accept such ship

there are regular shipping channels

is the air raids Into Germany which

Where Does the Corn Go?

Much speculation has been had as 10 what
disposition is made of the enormous CORN crops
annually harvested in the United States. A
bulletin just published by the Department of
Agriculture gives some interesting information
on this point. While the United States pro-
duces over 20 per cent Of the worlds output of
corn it furnishes only about IS per cent Of the
volume of the worlds export trade in the
cereal. Ordinarily less than is per cent of the
domestic crop is exported.
Most OF the great crop is consumed on the
farms where it is grown. In the l9l1-l5 period
only 1914 per cent of the crop was shipped out
side the counties where it was harvested. The
farm consumption amounts to 1874 per cent Of
the total yield; u per cent going to feed horses
and mules, 26.S per cent to fatten swine, Sc
per cent to mich cows and 94 per cent to other
cattle: poultry gets SO per cent and human
beings take 34, sheep require %, and 0.8 per
cent goes for seed, while the use of l.6 per cent
is doubtful.
The urban use of corn totals 152 per cent,
divided approximately: Ground in merchant
mills, 6.5 per cent; live stock mot on farms, y
81; glucose or starch, 10; distilled spirits, L.;
fermented liquors, 05. The remainder Of the
crop, Id per cent, represents the annual export.
Thirty-eight per cent of the crop reaches the
market ION the, hoof," most OF 1t being fed on
the farms where it is raised. Only seven states
of the union, Nebraska being one, normally pro-
duce more corn than they consume. When the
.dairying and live stock industry Of this state is
properly developed, no occasion will arise for
sending bushel of the states great corn yield
beyond the border in other form than that of
highly concentrated food product.
