FRASER RED CROSS Is
LIVE WIRE ORGANIZATION,

In no section of our county are
the people giving the Red Cross
more loyal support than at Fraser.
Last week the Red Cross ladies gave
a social evening at the Cottonwood
Consolidated school house, and the
people for miles around, many from
Weippe and Pierce, came. And a
better time was never enjoyed by q
crowd anywhere Clint Perkins, to
help along the good work, disposed
OF q beautiful bride, which was won
by John Gaffney Of Pierce, and net
ted the Red Cross the handsome sum
of $50. Which is going some. At
the conclusion of the evenings fun
a check Of the money taken in from
all sources totaled $181.O0. Which
puts Fraser in the top notch class
of Red Cross supporters. Fraser
has one native son, Leon Perkins,
who has been on the firing line in
the trenches since the war beRal.
and has since sent many of her boys
to make the great s.-ci'iiice in the
cause Of humanity. And when the
boys at the front know that the
folks at home are with them heart
and soul, and are putting up their
dollars cheerfully to the end these
boys may ned nothing possible to
supply them. how good it must
make our boys feel. And Fraser is
no Stacker.

What Would You Do?
Could You Sacrifice Desires and Still
Your Emotions for the COun-
try's Good?

The picture is direct answer to
the pacifist group and the anti-Amer-
ican foreigners in this country. 1t is
the reply the American woman makes
to those who would betray or despoil
her flag. 1t portrays the three great
loves of woman's life. the love of a
maid for man. the love of mother
for her child. the love of woman
for her country.
This wonderful masterpiece of
camera craft, written by J. Stuart
Blackton and Cyrus Townsend Brady
and produced under the personal di-
rection and supervision of Commo-
dore Blackton. is more than motion
picture spectacle. 1t is a clarion call
for the preservation of these United
States by awakening within the
breast of each individual the realiza-
tion of the needs of the nation for a
greatly augmented armament and
that true spirit of patriotism, which
is spreading from heart to heart
makes that wonderful, unconquerable
thing called NATIONAL SPIRIT.

RED CROSS WORKERS HOLD
COUNTY CONFERENCE.

The Clearwater County Red Cross
held a splendid meeting Wednesday
and discussed the various phases of
the work The morning session, also
the afternoon, was a school of in
struction and the various lines of
Red Cross avtivity explained. The
Red Cross will not accept knitted or
sewed article except they are made
according to Red Cross specifications.
and it has been a source of much re-
gret to many of our good ladies to
have their work rejected because 1t
was not up to the specifications. Es-
pecially is it difficult to heel and toe
socks that will pass inspection, and
visiting delegates expressed great
interest in the school of instructions,
for that was what the conference, in
fact, was.
In the evening the Conference was
of a social nature, and the program
most instructive and patriotic. Each
auxiliary in the county that could
get delegate into Orofino reported
on the progress of the work, and told
how they expected to do better from
now on. They had all profited, they
said, from the Conference. All pres
ent were served with a substantial
lunch that was good to behold and
hold. And there was plenty of real
honest to goodness cake. too. The
young folks concluded the evening
program by dancing for an hour or
more, and giving the total proceeds
from this feature to the Red Cross.

SIX BILLION POUNDS OF MEAT

If poultry production is doubled next
year, as is readily possibly with this
city and country cooperation, we will
have 6, son, 600. 900 pounds of meat food,
in the form of poultry and eggs. This
will release almost that many of other
meats, pork apd beet, for our Armies
in Europe, and for the armies and civil
Jan populations Of the Allies.
If we do not produce this amount of
poultry We may find ourselves short Of
meat food to just that extent.
1t Is patriotic duty of the utmost
Importance that every farmer and
every person in town to do his part in
producing this increase of poultry,
which will help to win the war. 1t is
also profitable proposition for the
average individual. Both town and
farm families will produce, at its low
est cost, meat food for their own use,
and by putting up eggs for winter use
will further reduce living expenses.
The poultry will be handled as q BY
product of the farm and backyard, each
flock being large enough in numbers to
utilize the scraps and waste from the
kitchen and the ''pick-ups'' around the
place. supplemented by some feed.
But no flock should be out of proper
ton to the ground space and kitchen
wastage-not 50 large that feed will be-
come, relatively, too costly an item.
The idea is not only to increase our
poultry production. but to do it eco~
nomically, to do it at very little cost.
by turning the waste of kitchens and
backyards all over the United States
into chickens and eggs. Fowls are the
anly medium through which a good !
deal Of this waste can be transformed
into valuable food product,
