igan, as she expects the position
as one of the teachers for a two

Now that the crops are in and
the rush is somewhat over would
it not be a splendid thing if each
neighborhood and town would
hold cottage prayer meetings,
and thereby get acquainted with
God. Now is the accepted time,
before we are called to give an
account. Come brother, sister,
give a little time to your souls
welfare. b

nomination is a certainty and
that A. M. Hagan will go "over
the top" easily.

ton Of every one connected with

Red Cross. This rule was made
in Washington and is not sub
ject to change.
Miss Odena Knudsvig turned
into the Red Cross $4,000, of
which amount $6.25 pays the
membership dues for Hilton
School district Junior auxiliary,
the balance as a donation to the
Red Cross.
All branches EXCEPT three
have turned over their balanc-
es and the secretary hopes to be
able to have the books all up to
date by the end of the month.
All persons paying Red Cross
dues from now on must under
stand that their membership
will not run for a year but only
till December 81. Because of the
very large membership list and
the fact that most of the work
is done by volunteers without
any remuneration, it was impos-
sible to be renewing member
ships all the time and at Christ
mas time last year the rule was
made that all memberships ex-
pire every year at the same
time and every year there will be
a Christmas membership drive
like there was last December.
There is an immense amount
of work to be done in every
branch. Are you doing all you
can?
To All Chapters in North Dako-
tai
Your attention is directed to
the fact that under the standard
bylaws governing Red Cross
chapters in North Dakota, Of
ficers and directors have been
installed to serve for the term
ending October 81, 1919, unless
a vacancy shall arise by death,
removal from the county, resig-
nation, or failure to act. In
case of such vacancies, the board
of directors or the executive
committee of the chapter has
~o"~c- % cc-.lE''ctc tkc -. Ct cf-
ficers.
Your attention is called to this
provision of the bylaws govern
ing in North Dakota, so that no
misunderstanding may arise be-
cause of notices calling for cleo
tons of chapter officers. Such
notices do not apply to North
Dakota chapters.

RED CROSS NOTES.

We have been asked by the
officials at Washington to pur-
chase all materials and yarn
from the Divisional headquart-
ers. This will tend toward the
Standardization of goods and a
very great reduction in price.
There seems to some misun-
derstanding as to how the mon
ey shall be raised for personal
gifts to the boys before they go
to camp. If any branch wishes
to give wrist watches, comfort
kits, or any gifts to the boys they
may give suppers, take collec-
tons, give plays, or dances for
that purpose, but the affair must
not be advertised as for the ben
fit of the Red Cross.
It is unlawful to advertise
anything for the benefit of the

AUSTRALIA PLANS
BIG WHEAT TRADE

Sidney, Australia, Feb. 2.-Austral-
ia has 10000 900 bushels Of surplus
wheat which she wants to ship TO the
United States and Canada with the
understanding that an equivalent
amount Of American wheat shall be
shipped from America to Europe for
the use Of the people Of the Entente
nations.
Australia's offer is due to the fact
that here is not sufficient shipping
available to enable the Australian
government to ship its wheat suzpius
ldirect to England. q
The chief question is whether the
United States can supply the ship
ping to carry the wheat from Aus
tralia to Pacific Coast ports. The sug-
gestion has been received from the
United States that Japanese shipping
be utilized to carry the wheat direct
from Australia to England but il il
declared that even II the Japanes.

Addresses Eastern Star Lodge

Tuesday evening the local Eastern
Star held their regular memorial ser
vices. There was a large crowd pres
emit and a most pleasant evening was
spent.
A.. M. Powell delivered the follow
ing short, but appropriate address:
Dear Sisters and Brothers, Lorraine
Chapter, Eastern Star:
We have come from u homes to
this beautiful temple dedicated to
fraternity, service and sacrifice for
one another, to add these beautiful
flowers to the chaplet with which re-
spect, esteem and affection have gar
landed the memory Of our departed
members
In this world we meet no other event
so profoundly impressive as death. 1t
is useful to us who survive, only as
we comprehend it's lessons. Of all the
tributes of the human heart,of all the
sentiments and feelings incident to
human nature; none are so ennobling
in their character, so refining in their
influences, and so eleva5ing in their
tenderness as that feeling Of reverence
for our beloved dead. The separation
by death awakens the noblest impulse
of our hearts and arouse the keenest
pangs of sorrow. We bring these gar.
lands and in this beautiful memorial
service we will pay tribute to the me-
morv of our departed sisters anC
brothers.
In the sacred hours Of retrcspectio1
which come to all Of us, and com
most welcome in the silent watches O
the night, in the d~ay-dreams Of mid
summer, the echoes of their voices
will ring out again thru the vaults o
memory and invite us to highe
thoughts, loftier purposes, deeds o
nobler daring and of purer self-abne
cation.
Let us think of them faring on, a

forced to the belief that all the great
endowments given to men, all the vir-
tues browning womanhood, such as our
friends were gifted with, bright in
%tellect, exalted virtue, nobility of char
acter, and all that We admire in man
kind, die with the body and are buried
in the grave.
It is not given to US to know all
these great mysteries, but tho it may
be above, it is not against reason to
indulge in the confident hope and en-
terrain the firm conviction that be-
yond the grave there is a brighter
and happier worlyd where the beloved
on earth shall meet again. The great
beyond is revealed to our friends. Let
us hope that they are at rest.
"Behold, I show you a mystery; We
shall be changed"
"In a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed"
The easter-carols Of Sunday last,
still resound in cur ears the triumph
ant hopes of immortality and future
bliss.
The death OF our friends is a sad
event from the standpoint Of human
intelligence, but if we firmly believe
the basic teachings of the Chapter of
the Eastern Star that the soul Of man
is immortal, and that there is an over
ruling Providence, an Infinite Spirit,
which guides and directs the whole
frame of the universe, which holds the
nations of the earth in the hand as in
a balance, we will see in that transi-
ton we call death, only the loss and
sadness Of an earthly parting. What
%loftier realms of life have been opened
t to them, and soon will in our turn be
revealed to us all, the future only will
disclose. They know the great mys.
: teries of death, infinity and eternity
Death has led them into the realms

dawn has broken-it is day."
