Some New Rules.
The Mountain Division has adopted
and promulgated new rules for the
wearing Of the uniform and the win
ming of crosses in the various depart
ments. Beginning June Is, the rules
are:
Permits signed by the chairman of
the chapter must be held by all women
who wear the uniform, and each must
subscribe to the oath of loyalty.
The privilege of wearing the Red
Cross on apron and veil is to be grant
ed upon completion of:
(a) II hours work in a workroom
or elsewhere, making satisfactory gar
ments or knitted articles (This must
include at least three different kinds Of
hospital and refugee garments or two
different kinds Of knitted garments, of
which n must be socks), or :.
(b) " hours work making satisfac-
tory gauze dressings. The dressings
made should comprise six different
folded dressings and one type of gauze
roll and at least three different kinds
OF pads; or all the different kinds of
muslin and flannel ~bandages; or
(c) " hours work cutting or pack
ing; or
pacity.
A. r. @. Cattle.
In order to enable the cattlemen Of
the states of Colorado, Wyoming, New
Mexico and Utah to assist In the sup
port of the American Red Cross, the
Mountain Division Of the American
Red Gross, with headquarters in Den
yer, has recorded in Colorado the brand
ARC to be placed ON the left side of the
animal. All Red Gross chapters are
authorized to accept heifer calves as
contributions from cattlemen to the
Red Cross, these calves to be branded
ARC and to be cared for by the donor
until next January, when they will be
delivered to the various chapters and
shipped to the National Western Stock
Show at Denver. At the Stock Show
they will be entered in competition for
prizes to go to the counties where pro-
duced, and the cattle sold and the re-
turns delivered to the Red Cross chap
tiers to which the calves were donated.
1t Is expected that the ARC brand of
cattle will become well known. The
cattle herd without one or more ARC
cattle viii not be a strictly patriotic
herd. The ARC brand win be to the
cattlemen what the Red Cross flag or
other patriotic emblem is to people
generally.
1t is expected that during the period
of h war a large percentage of the
calves from these ARC heifers will
themselves carry the ARC brand and
will continue to add their mite to re-
lieye the suffering of this great war.

TO THE BOYS AND
GIRLS OF AMERICA

Now that the terrible war is over
you must be glad that you helped
to win it by saving food for our SOL
diers and our unhappy friends across
the sea. But our work Of feeding
hungry peopls is now to be greater
than it has ever been. Many mill
lions Of people have been made free
by our victory but they are in the
greatest danger of death from star
walton. They look to America for
food until the next harvest.
We must 60 on saving and shar-
ing with them as faithfully rs ever.
And Of course you will want to do
your part as you have been doing.
We have a greater task than any Of
US can imagine in saving the world
from famine, but we can do it If each
of US do all we can. am counting
upon you.
Faithfully yours,

MAKE SORGHUM Strip
TO REPLACE SUGAR

A scheme to utilize a part Of the
sorghum crop for making a suga,
substitute for human food is being
carried out in Douglas county, Nebr.
In the community, through the ef-
forts Of the local county agent, six
farmers cooperated in purchasing q
small sorghum mill, and secured the
services of an experienced sorghum
strip maker. Although the strip
made at this mill is being sold for
81 rs to 81. so gallon, present indi.
cations are that the demand cannot
be met. Five sorghum mills arc
now in operation in the county. Re.
Gently meeting of interested men
in Red Willow county was called with
the help OF the local county agent
to organize stock company to
handle the sorghum cane grown in
that district.

kept PLEDGE
TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained A.
lied Loaf Through Sell
Denial at Home Table.
AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
with military Demands Upon ocsan
Shipping Relieved, World 10 Able
to Return 70 Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage Of shipping. Between July
and October 10 we shipped $3.50 305
bushels. II this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal ycar>we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 2S7, 100000 bushels Of wheat and
fourth terms Of wheat.
The result Of increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
States has been that with the cessa.
ton Of hostiIities we are able to re-
turn to normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated lin Australia.
Argentine and other hitherto inacces.
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There 10 wheat enough avail.
able to have Q white loaf at the com.
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep q
ssteady stream Of wheat and flour NOV.
Ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus Of
100000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability Of a bread
famine-and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the Diet.
All Of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. BY the first
Of the year we had managed to ship q
little more than $4,000, 900 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy 1t
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution Of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, ca6led
that only If we sent an additional 49,
100000 bushels before July / could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo-
pie was $4,000 900 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January / and
July l. Out Of harvest which gave
US only 2O,0OO,OO0 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141,OOO.OOO bushels,
Thus did America fulflll her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

northeast, pays the following tribute
to the American Red Cross in a COM
munication sent to Leuit. Col. Glib

I have just rceived the letter
in which you announce that the Com

American Red Cross my personal
thanks rs we'll as those Of the French
armies under my command.
1.-THE intervention Of the American
Red Cross in both the material and
moral domain has not ceased to mani
fest itself since the great republic
Of the United States entered the war.
It is practically agreeable to me to
fesl again your charitable support at
the moment when Nour troops, who
have fought without cessation for
more than four y.ars, perceive the
dawn Of the day when France shall
be liberated and when the Allied ma
tions shall be in full victory.
II know that in addressing the
American Red Cross l speak in reali-
ty to the people Of the United States.
Ny thanks, therefore, 60 to the peo-
pie and / am happy thus to have ths
occasion to transmit to them the ev-
idence Of the grateful affection Of our
army.
'-The French troops will remain
under arms probably for long time,
but thanks to your Intervention,
many Of the cares will be d:ssipated
and many Of the misfortunes will be
lightened.
"ln the name Of the humble ones
who have been sacrificed, thank you
again, Mr.. Commissioner, and beg
you to accept the assurance Of my
very distinguished consideration y

and consistent support you have Civ
enn 1.-THE Nations First Line of De-
fsnse" in its time Of need. Because
of the whole-hearted response by the
newspapers Of the Northwest to the
Nays call for aid in getting men
fo- the fest, Minnesota and North
Dakota have won the proud distinc-
ton of first ranks in Navy recruit
ing. Thousands Of men have been
enlisted in the Naval Service from

enlistment was made possible.
Tha Navy Department through
Lieutenant George A. Treadwell, Re.
cruiting officer for Minnesota and
North Dakota, continues it's appeal
for men to man the fleet. Thous-
ands of our hbys who enlisted for
the duration of the war will soon be
mustered out Of the service and new
men are needed to take their places.
The Navy offers good clean life
good pay and promotion to ambitious
young men between the ages Of 10
and So. The Navy Mobilization sta
