Our Soldiers Respect Red Cross.

Our soldiers In France are respecting
the Red Cross when worn by Germans,
even II the Germans have fred upon
American Red Cross stretcher- bearers
and ambulance drivers, 40 the following
dispatch shows.
Some American soldiers in listening
post northwest Of Toul early this morn
ing discovered an enemy patrol fixing
their own wire, and promptly opened
fire The Germans retreated hastily.
leaving two Of their number hanging
on the barbs.
Several hours after daylight party
Of five Germans, two infantrymen and
three Red Cross workers, emerged from
the enemy lines and started for their
comrades entangled in the wires. The
Americans saw the Red Cross brassards
and did not open fire on the party,
which removed the bodies"
Proof is ind!sputable that the Ger
mans have bombed hospitals plainly
marked with the Red Cross. have sunk
hospital ships equally plainly marked,
have fired upon American Red Cross
workers in the battlefield, and other
wise have ignored the emblem that
every civilized nation respect
That our American boys do st IL
tend to retaliate with this kind OF bar
barity is proved in the foregoing dis
patch, and German mothers who have
sons wounded doubtless will see the
difference between "kultur" as prac-
ticed by their own leaders and "cul-
ture" as pract.ced by the American and
allied soldiers.

Later the market sagged a little as
a result of the weakness Of oats.

Women shv al Farm Work.

Prof. H. c. Filley of the department
OF farm MANAGEMENT Of the University
OF Nebrask, does not believe women
will work to any great extent on
Nebraska farms this summer. The
typical farm woman already is as busy
as she can possibly be with the inside
work, he declares, and city girls will
never do any considerable amount OF
work on the farm. Professor Fflley
thinks the real work will only be done
by eliminating unnecessary employ
ment in other lines.
"Some visionary city people have
suggested that women replace men on
the farm. The farmers wife already IS
overworked. She not only keeps house
and reans family, says Professor Fill
ley. "but usually tends the poultry and
often assists in the garden. Her house
work includes washing, ironing. bak-
ing and the care Of dairy utensils. Just
how much work would our city
friends have her do?
1.-THE city girl will never do any
considerable amount of farm work. In
the first place she does not wish TO-,
and in the second place she g could
farmerettes in trouserettes may look
very attractive but they would be OF
very little value stacking alfalfa or
helping to thresh wheat.
High school boys from the cities
have been used as a source Of farm
labor. Many Of these boys learn to
do good work, and become really ef-
'fcient hands. The majority. however
have unframed muscles and are ignor-
ant of the simple but necessary things
which every ten years old farm boy
knows. Their first few weeks Of farm
work are hard not only upon them, but
upon their employers.
in every city are thousands Of men
who were farm raised and other thou
sands accustomed to heavy work.
These men can be made available to
the farm by shutting down unneces-
sary enterprises. This IS not day
for Injuries but, for necessities.

Italians Sing star-spansled Banner.

"Oh, say can you see?" sung in 1tal-
ian may soon startle the Germans, for
the young Italian soldiers are learn
ing 1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner which
has been translated by the American
Red Cross at their special request.
The national anthem is to be printed
on memorial postcard which has been
designed by an Italian soldier. and the
postcards will be circulated in the
trenches. The design is the coat Of arms
Of the allied nations, with other pa
triotic memorials.
This may not be considered note
worthy incident by the casual reader,
nevertheless it is symbolic Of the unity
that is coming to pass among the allies.
With the English and French also sing
ing our stirring song, and American
soldiers singing their national songs,
the common cause will be cemented.
The Red Cross is not neglecting the
comfort Of the Italian soldiers while
keeping up their spirits thru such
means. The canteens at the front are
providing hot meals, baths, lodging and
comforts.

Chicago. March 12.-Hogs hardened
in price today on account Of arrivals
falling short Of the number expected
Prevailing prices are little different
from previous Friday, when the top
was $500 and the general average
s17.4o. Most Of the principal outside
markets were weak and lower today,
with western points relatively much
lower than Chicago.
4 total Of $4,000 hogs at eleven
markets Friday was 400 more than
week ago, $4,000 more than year ago
and $4,000 more than corresponding
Friday two years ago. Chicago had
400 more than a week ago. $500
more than year ago and 24.4oo more
than two years ago.
The four Missouri river markets Fri
day received 1,400 more than a week
ago, 1900 more than a year ago and
21,100 more than two years ago. ST

week ago and 500 less than a year ago
and $500 more than two years ago. st.
Pull had 5000 less than a week ago
and 1900 less than year ago.
Cattle.
Cattle offerings lacked quality.
It has been an uneven market all
week and today was no exception. The
trade was active on anything good and
especially on the heavy stock but It
proved exceedingly dull on everything
else. Shippers were in the trade, but
their orders were not very urgent.
Packers were good competitors for the
prime offerings, which included around
IS loads out Of Nebraska. Other kinds
met a cool reception from the packer
buyers. but sellers eventually accom-
plished a clearance.
Receipts were estimated early Friday
at 1900 to $4,000 and later at 1900,
standing larger than expected. nearly
5000 more than last Friday. and over
twice as large as a year ago. FIVE
days offerings footed 76,1oo, or around
$4,000 more than same period last week
and $4,000 more than corresponding
time year ago.
Seven western markets were CREDITED
with $4,000. or 5000 more than week
ago and 1900 more than correspond
ing Friday year ago. Combined offer
ings for the week to date totaled 215,-
900 or $4,000 more than same period
last week and $4,000 more than CORE
spending FIVE days a year ago.
Sheep.
Most o. the sheep that arrived were
consigned 70 killers.

WHINING sLACKERS."
Mount Vernon Record.l


It is astonishing the number OF
"slackers" there are abroad. Have
you heard anyone tell how tired they
were of eating wa bread?" OF course
you have Just think Of it. Whining
because they can't have full patent
-four bread. And they call themselves
patriots. Maybe the boys who are
standing in the trenches in France are
tired Of their jobs too, but you may
hank on It you will not hear chirp
out Of them. No. we must confess that
either we take this war too seriously,
or else there are a lot of folks abroad
that are either not taking 1t seriously
enough, or else that are qualifying for
the worlds greatest hogs. When the
young men are giving up all they have
to help save the nation. certainly 1t
should be up to the rest OF US to give
them every support in our power, and
give it willingly and gladly. At least
that is the way we feel about It.

Estimate War Emergency Activities.

To enable the department to con-
t!nue and extend, during the fiscal
year 1919 the war emergency activities
!naugurated under the provisions OF
the food production act Of Aug. 10,
1917, Secretary Houston has asked
congress for an appropriation Of sle.-
73n. 500. In submitting an estimate for
this amount, Secretary Houston ex-
plains that, while the provisions Of the
food production act will continue in
effect during the existence OF state
OF war with Germany. the appropria-
tons made by section Of the act are
limited to the fiscal year ending June
80, 1915. When the regular estimates
Of the department" the secretary says
were under consideration last fall 1t
was decided to make no provision IN
them for the continuation Of the en-
ergency activities under the food pro-
duction act. It was thought best 10
defer consideration OF this matter until
the needs Of the next fiscal year could
be more accurately determined
