OFFICIAL RED CROSS
NOTES AND ACTIVITIES

There is no one IN America who
would think of refusing to aid the
Red Cross once the reality of the sit
uation is wildly impressed on his
mind. The difficulty is to make our
people realize how desperate, how
terribly real is the need. What must
be done in Northern France is a
tasl, almost beyond comprehension.
And then Belgium A task even more
stupendous. To care for our own
is but part of the task, the sacred
duty that lies before US. We must
give to that people of our allies the
means Of helping themselves as they
are the necessity of starting life
over again.

THE FOOD LAWS AND
REGULATIONS ARE
MORE STRICT
Saving Food Now the Most
Important Thing to Be
Done at Home.

New regulations of food laws and
new interpretations of old ones have
been handed down by the State Fed
eral Food Administrator this week. !
hope merchants and consumer will
read them carefully and | am sure
they will cherfully abide by them.
(D The 6 pound per individual
for flour is to be interpreted liter
ally-a family of two can buy but
twelve pounds per month of flour ;
family Of three but Is pounds per
month, and family of five but 80
pounds per month, and so on. In
towns this can be had never in more
than "a pounds at time, and in the
country in AZ pounds at time. How
ever, in the country, family of four
or under could buy but "a pounds at
once since that is the thirty day al
lowance. Merchants must construe
the pound per individual strictly.
(2). Merchants must keep an ac-
curate account of all flour bought
and sold, to whom sold, the num-
Der of family of purchaser, his resi-
dence, date of purchase, whether
bought on fifty-fifty plan, or with
cereals, and must render weekly
statement to the County Administra-
tor of such sales, giving all the above
data in the statement. This becomes
necessary because it has been found
that there are people who will buy
from one dealer the monthly allow
ance and then buy from another an
equal amount, thus depriving some
one else of his just part. When the
names Of all purchasers are accurate
ly reported to the central office, he
who doubles this way will be easily
located and can not buy flour any
more. Sales should be made only
to heads of families. The govern
ment is going to feeds it's boys on the
front with flour, even if we at home
must eat only corn bread and ce-
reals. Only Stacker would grumble
at this.
(3). Millers will be allowed to
grind only 48 pounds of flour for
any one customer, and this will be
discontinued for April-30 days.
~. Blanks for weekly reports as
above set out will be furnished by
the state Administrator to this Of
flee and from here sent to all mer-
chants. Notify me if you fail to get
them.
(6). All millers grinding wheat
if any amounts are required to get
license. Make application to the Lii
cense Division, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator, Washington, D. c.
The above are regulations put in
my hands for enforcement. | am
sure / will have the same cheerful
compliance with them that has mark
ed conduct of. all in former rules.

list of forty names of German women
then in England was sent over, and
the order was that within a given
period they were to be married to
British men. To my own knowledge
nearly half of them failed. They
knew what it meant. Before them lay
the choice of two terrible alternatives
murder or suicide. In most cases
they chose suicide. A short para
graph in the newspapers announced
the finding of the body of a we'll
dressed woman in the river, or dead
from an overdose of veronal or other
poison To the average newspaper
reader it was just simply another of
life's happenings. To me, with full
knowledge of the kaisers heinous plot
these little paragraphs told in the
plainest possible language the story
of another life sacrificed to the ruth
lessness of the German spy system.
The newspapers called the happ enings

down their arms or the English tC

Hindenburg said year ago We are
already doing it. my children Our
emperor the supreme war lord, has
said that the decision is not to be
sought viii to victory and readiness
for peace are combined in his words
If the enemy does not wish peace we
must bring peace to the world by
breaking in the gates of those who
do not want peace, with mailed fist
and flashing sword ~
Major Won Olberg, head Of the wal
press bureau, writes in the official
Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, that
the blow is. now ready to fall when
ever Hindenburg gives the word, and
it can only lead to victory.
Decision is Here
THE wear of decision has dawned,
writes Won Olberg "A feeling of fore
boding already permeates our enemies
and the cry for aid from Japan and
America is constantly heard. Yet the
enemy leaders know that the United
States cannot even make up for the
number of men France AMI England
were obliged to send to Haly's aid,
especially as the troops they were
sending from America are fnexperi-
enced and lack training. We. are quito
aware that America will do her utmost
to assist with money and war material
and will probably send many technical
troops and aviators, but we are pre-
pared for every contingency. America
cannot possibly do more than she did
when ostensibly neutral.
$50 we meet the coming year full
of confidence. Our position on the
western front must improve daily and
an equalization of forces is taking
place there, where the enemy has al
ways been numerically superior. In
addition, all our munition factories are
working for one front and the whole
of our enormous reserves of material
will be at once dispatched thither.
Even Troops Are Inspired
with deep feelings of relief our
troops on the western front are be-
ginning to realize that the days of
trench warfare are almost at an end.
Up and at the enemy at last. Our
rer is free and we have the reserves at
our disposal. The great blow can now
fall Where and when? Those ques.

New Orleans Boxing Expert Relieves Crescent City , Marvel Has Proper Si-
 lencer for Opponents
By FRED DIGBY Boxing Expert

Officials in charge of the amateur box CTS who are to make the trip to Bir- mingham for the Southern Amateur Ath- letic unions annual championship tour nament March 1 and 2. have already conceded one berth to Jerome Gardner, the lightweight star in this section. Gardner is expected to romp home a winner over all opposition here, also at Birmingham
 The amateur boxers start their careers early in these parts and Gardner began when he sealed less than 100 pounds. He displayed some skill from the start, too, but for several seasons was handi- capped because of a lack of weight and strength.
 Now he has fully developed physically and where Jerome weakened before after two rounds of fast milling, he can now go tho regulation four without display ing any distress signals
 Clever and a fairly hefty puncher, Gardner generally makes pleasing bout at all times. When in first class con dition, as will be the case in Birmingham, Jerome ought to show the fans an ex- hibition of boxing seldom given by anna teurs.
 Gardner will represent the Young Mans Gymnastic club, the same organi- zation that sent Dave Johnson to Bir- mingham for his bout with Briscoe Seals several years ago.
 Secretary Benedetto of the Amateur Athletic union at New Orleans, advises s..at they expect to send eight boxers to Birmingham to compete in the cham pionship.
