THE RED CROSS GORDON.

An American Red Cross worker who
was among those volunteering to help
in the hospitals and at the station
where the hospital trains arrived. over.
heard some of the wounded talking
about the American Red Cross.
Gee! We'd starved if it hadn't
been for the Red Cross" said one boy.
and then, laughing at his own eXagger-
alton, he went on to explain the cir
cumstances under which the Red Cross
representative with his division had
done some timely service. Tie Ger
mans, of course, were to blame, for
they retreated so rapidly that it was
practically impossible for the supplies
to keep up with the pursuing Ameri-
cans.
I'VE cleaned up seven kilometers in
less than two hours" another reclining
figure explained, land they were still
going when l was knocked out. For
three days l had had nothing to eat
but hard tack, and for some DAYS be-
fore the food had been monotonous-
to put it mildly. So you can imagine
what it meant to us boys to have the
Red Cross Gordon come up with SUD-
ply Of chocolate, canred peaches and
other good things. 1t was saver"

NO SEALS SOLD THIS YEAR.

The customary sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals will not be held this
year. 1t seemed best to both the
American Red Cross and the National
tuberculosis Association to unite in
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call to-
reduce the number of appeals to the
public for contributions. There will
be no lessening of activities by the
National tuberculosis Association
through this arrangement, as the Red
Cross War Council has appropriated
$2,5OO,O00 for anti-tuberculosis work
in 1919 in lieu Of the money that ordi-
narily would be raised by Christmas
Seal Campaign. However, every per-
son joining the Red Cross during the
Red Cross Christmas Roll Call will be
awarded ten seals to be used as here

wear one of the 1919 bputtons,
which are very neat and attractive.

those observed in previous epidem-
les. Both diseases seem to be due
to groups of different germs, and
some of these have been definitely
found in both. DR.. King thinks the
coolies had among them carriers
of the plague bacillus, and that this
assumed new virulence and differ
ent form when transplanted into
virgin soil. We read in The Re-
cord: In the China epidemic there
were few definite symptoms at the
outset of the disease except the
general malaise, prostration, loss of
appetite, etc., soon to be followed
by the pneumonia process and death.
So it is in the present epidemic.
There have been indefinite symp-
toms, great prostration rapidly fol-
lowed by pneumonia and death in
the most virulent forms. The out
standing features of the Chinese
pneumonia plague were the high
infectivity of it and the high NOR
tality. So in this so-called inf1u-
enza epidemic it is more contag-
ious, is followed more frequently
by pneumonia, and attended with
much higher mortality than'in any
previous influenza epidemic.

Jesse Hoffman of Leland made a

Jesse Hoffman of Leland made
practical statement some time ago
when he said that he was decidedly
in favor of the good roads district
proposition. He said that if it was
necessary to vote bonds so large that
his children would have to make
the last payments he was still in
favor of. permanent road construc-
tion because he would have the COM
fort of travelling the good roads
during his lifetime. Practically
everyone sees the imperative neces-
sity of better roads but outside of
Potlatch ridge and Cedar Creek
ridge. nothing has been done toward
lettering conditions. American
Ridge, Little Bear Ridge. Big Bear
Ridge and Texas Ridge could all
finance good roads district, each
one separate from the other.
American Ridge in particular
could establish a new grade that
would not require an exceedingly
large expenditure of money. A
civil engineer stated not long ago
that he could run survey of a new
road up Brady Gulch that would
make grade not exceeding five
percent at the steepest point and
that it would not require very
great amount of grading to build
this new road. There are no better
farms in the world than those on
the various ridges tributary to
Kendrick and it seems pity that
there is not enough progressive
spirit to build good roads to make
these farms accessible at all times
of the year. 1t would be hard to go
to extremes in road building.

WHERE WOUNDED MEN
YIELD TO DAY DREAMS
Restored to Health and vigor in
Red Cross ConvaIescent
Homes.

The surgeon has extracted the Inn
partially distributed bits of shrapnel
from your works. The wounds have
healed. The wheels 60 round again.
and the clock ticks.
But it doesn't keep correct time.
This business of calling "Time ~ on
the Boche means so many broken clocks
nowadays that the master-menders
can't keep them on their tables after
they're mended. So the question where
they shall sit around while they're be-
ing regulated looms large.
The Red Cross answers that ques-
ton with it's convalescent homes. 1t
has six of these in opera ton. A suit
able place is fOund-sOmetimes do
nated-and management and equip
ment are provided by the Red Cross,
while the Army has furnished disci-
valescents.
These homes mean that men who
are scarcely hospital subjects, yet who
can by no means go back to their du-
ties, have a place that does what
"home" does for the French or Eng
lish soldier, what "home" does for
any one, in fact, when the doctor gets
through.
You know He says: you're all
right now. It's only matter of nurs--
ing and food"
But you know he's only looking at
the works he's tinkered, and that the
soul within you is grousing as it never
did when the body was down and out
1t wants something, and it doesn't
know what it is. But if it doesn't get
it pretty quick the works are going to
get gummed again. You know your
mother could find out what that dog
gone thing is right away and hand it
to you on plate. But General Per-
shing won't let you go to her.
And the War Department won't let her
come to you
Then you're taken to a Red Cross
convalescent homeland there is the
very thing you wanted! But you
couldn't describe it even then to save
your life.
1t is bit of coddling, and pretty
surroundings, and women's faces, and
light laughter and time to play and all
that sort of thing. 1t is forgetting the
crash Of war and remembering that
there are pleasant, soft voices. It's
even such things as gaily-fowered sofa
pillows to jam into a corner and make
a nice lolling place while you read
and smoke and 1alk. It's slippers in
stead of trench boots, or day-dreams
in place Of the nightmare of killing.

When that live-wire bunch of
Cedar Creek good-roads enthusiasts
begin active operations in the con-
struction of their hard surfaced
road, it will be up to Kendrlck to
start something for the improve
ment of Main street and to agitate
or aggravate the county commits
sioners into lending their assistance
in connecting the upper end of
Hendricks Main street with the
lower end of the Cedar CreekYroad
which will be just below the point
where Pine Creek crosses the pres
ent road. Kendrick could pave the
business section of town and put
crushed rock through the residence
portion of the town. This would
make very serviceable street and
the town could easily stand the ex-
pense when the benefits derived are
taken into consideration. The pres
ent condition of main street is. the
only argument necessary to advance
that it will not be in keeping with
the hard surfaced roads that will
begin to be built into the town.
The future of the Potlatch and
Kendrick as it's center is simply
dependent upon the development
of good roads.

Is Flue Chiness Plague?

Captain James Joseph King of the

tend to show that the influenza cpl

has been prevalent in China for

it spread over Europe in modified

CORN WILL YIN DEMOCRACYSWAR
AmeriCa'S Greatest Cereal Crop Is Now Moving to
 Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United States Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
 ened Europe.

America's great corn crop, exceed ing 3,0O0,OOO,OOO bushels, will save the worlds food situation, officials of the United States food administration be- lieve.
 Corn is the nations best food cereal. housewives are beginning to realize. It contains all the elements needed to keep the body in a state of health and when used according to the scores of tried recipes, especially when com bined with an added portion Of oil or fat, will sustain life indefinitely. h. dian warriors in colonial days lived on parched corn alone for many days at a time, and at Valley Forge parched corn was at times the sole ration of the Continental soldiers.
 Owing to transportation difficulties caused by the war the corn crop moved more slowly to market this year than ever before. Now, however, the cereal is reaching the millers and consumers In the meantime the nations surplus wheat has been sent to Europe.
 Today there are approximately 30 bushels of corn for every American This quantity is greater by five bush els than in former years.
 Corn has become the nations main- stay in the crisis of war.
 Just as this cereal saved the first American cOlOnists from famine on many occasions, just as it served as a staple food during the War of the Rev olution and during the Civil War, King Corn has again come to the front in the nations battle with autOcracy.
 Corn meal is finding greatly increas- ed use in the making of ordinary white bread. Hundreds of housewives and many of the larger bakers are mixing 20 per cent. corn meal with wheat flour te make leavened bread. This kind of a mixture is worked and baked in the same recipes and with the same methods that apply to straight wheat bread.
 Corn bread-using corn meal entire ly-is gaining a greater popularity than ever before Housewives are coming to realize that every pound of wheat saved in America means pound of wheat released for shipment to the nations with which America is associ- ated in the war.
 There are a score of corn products that today possess unusual importance for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes and for use in the kitchen instead of granulated sugar is one of the leading products made from corn.
 Corn oil, excellent for frying and for every other purpose filled by salad oils. is appearing on the market in large quantities. It comes from the germ of the corn.

Dear Madam: We are always grieved to see young romance shat tered and irons placed upon the trem- bling wrists of the goddess Hymen, but when unfortunate circumstances necessarily produce such a sad happen ing, 1t is customary for the young lady to return those mementoes of affec. ton and high esteem which have been the evidences of high regard and es- teem of the young man during more friendly moments.
 More so, it is customary for the young lady to return that pledge of the contract of engagement to enter into the bonds which bind as one the possibility for the use of which has so unfortunately been destroyed.
 We therefore request, respectfully, that you return to this office the en- gagement ring of MT. -, or we shall, although most reluctantly, be com pelled to institute replevin proceed. s=Ss for its return.-Docket.

War has drawn women into police service in England. In eight or nine cities policewomen have been installed as part of the regular force. The po- icewoman is in large demand in the munition factories, where, owing to the presence of many women, she performs many functions such as detective, chaperon, welfare worker and watch man, but in the main in these plants her work is of preventive and protec- tive nature, serving the young people of her own sex.

MADE-IN- N-GERMANY LIES
 CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with Made-in-Germany lies calculated to hinder Canadian food conservation ac- cording to an officiaIS statement re- ceived from the C9padian food con- troller by the United States food ad- ministration.
 The stories bothering Canada are of the same general character as those the United States food administra- tor recently denounced in this cOun- try, such as the ridiculous salt and blueing famine fakes and the report that the government would seize housewives stocks of home canned goods.
 The Canadian food controller esti- mates that when the people listen to and pass on such stories, each one has the power of destruction that lies in a battalion of soldiers.
 Stories without even. a vestige of foundation have been scattered broad cast" said the Canadian statement. "Nor have they come to life casually. They have started simultaneously in different parts of the country and in each instance have been calculated to arouse public indignation.
 "They are insidious, subtle, persist ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public trust, the great essential in the work of food control.
 Tt lies with every individual to for bear from criticism; to refrain from passing on the vagrant and harmful story, and thus the more effectively to cooperate in work which is going to mean more than the majority of people yet realize"
