FILA DA HELL-BOX.

Well call him Tony a name
more or less is immaterial anyway.
His place of business is Just a dent
in the wall around the corner on
Forty-'nth street a half dozen or such
a matter steps from Broadway-oh,
yes, this is a New York story but
what's the difference? 1t isn't impor-
Ftant where it happened, it's something
else that makes it interesting.
Tony's shop is a "one-man" shop.
He does all the work himself these
war times, shortage of labor, etc., no
doubt.
Usually he is quite busy. So brisk
was business that day that l sat wait
ing in n of the four chairs until he
had shined the six other shoes that
had climbed into place before l came.
He had two cash" boxes-cigar
boxes they we're
l noticed that he dropped half the
money he took in in one box and half
in the other-alternating the dimes
between the boxes.
By the way, l almost forgot to tell
you. Tony is a cripple-probably a
street car or a truck smashed him
sometime, anyway, he has lost a foot
somewhere and there is an ugly twist
to his back that makes it look as if it
doacnSt aIWauo fool 0ood
When l stepped down with my shoes
freshly shined it happened there was
a lull in trade
Dat dime she go in disa box-disa
hell-box I call him!" Tony remark
ed as he tossed the coin into n of the
boxes.
why that box-why hell box?
What's the idea?"

ture Of 100000 per month made out
of money raised by the communities
themselves and reserved from the
amount contributed by the national
Red Cross war fund. This distribu-
ton has been directed by the local
committees themselves and more than
one million people have been helped.
Money, the least valuable contribu-
ton of the American Red Cross home
service to community welfare amount
ed to s1.5OO,OOO during the first six
months Of 1918 and will exceed $4,-
900, 900 for the second half of the year.
BY January first 1919 the American
Red Cross will have spent in this work
a total of about $4,000. 900, and will
probably be carrying the burden of
one million per month.
More important than money are the
other kinds of help given. Problems
in soldiers and sailors families arise
from sickness. worry, backward IN
ruly children, perplexities in the
household, management of business,
legal tangles, mental depression, and
sometimes the mere longing for the
man gone away, home service has
been successfully helping to meet
them. All difficulties arising out OF
the misunderstanding of the war risk
insurance law-there being each week
about $4,000 inquiries as to why SOL
dier's dependents are not receiving
their money from the war risk bu-
reau-are brought to the attention of
home service workers who undertake
to get the information needed and in
many cases have had allotments or al
lowances pushed through.
wherever men are under military
orders they are in touch practically
all of the time with home service re-
representatives.. If worried about fami-
lies at home, home service messages
are sent to straighten matters out
Twenty or more inquiries after the
welfare of soldiers families are ca

FINEST WHEAT IN COUNTRY.
George Hanson Gives Blue Ribbon to
Beuten and Wright, OF Crystal.

George Hanson Gives Blue Ribbon 10
Beuten and Wright, OF Crystal.
Deputy Sheriff Hanson. who has
been over much of the county during
harvest and is therefore able to make
comparisons. gives the blue ribbon,
for yield, to Beuten and Wright of
Crystal. He saw them combining the
lightest of their 400 acre field, which
was going IA sacks to the acre, sacks
weighing from 1870 to lao pounds. This
makes the yield on the lightest of their
field better than thirty bushels per
acre, while much of it went forty
bushels. Mr.. Hanson is of the opin-
ion that the average yield of their
field will top the county for dry land
grain, and the quality is first class.
