THE Moline Red Cross hospital
was the first in operation here
abouts. 1t was planned on larg-
er scale and has cared for more pa
tients than any other nearby instl-
tuition.
zone of the most helpful agencies
in tIas epidemic has been the press
of Moline and East Moline, which
has responded to every call.
And last, but not least, were the
good people Of the city who sent
soup, jeilies, grape fruit and other
delicacies in abundance; and those
who came voluntarily with contri-
buttons Of money because they did
not know how else TO help IN the
work Everybody was more than
kind and willing and eager to have
d share in this big community re-
sponsibtlity. The city commission
has also rendered valuable cooper
alton.
The situation in East Moline
was met similarly to that in Mo-

in the following communication
from William ButterwOrth, presi-

good women of Moline have set
aside their family sponsibilities
and have worked early and late and
untiringly to carry comforts TO our
soldiers in France and in home
camps and to those whom the sol
diers have left behind, but when
danger threatened us at home and
the epidemic of influenza spread 50
rapidly in Moline, it was these self
sacrificing women who resolutely
set about to fight it. The commun-
ity owes them a lasting debt of
gratitude.

known that Mrs. Josephine Barn

Kings Daughters, thought out sew
eral months ago the plan of an
emergency hospital to be immedi-

old postoffice building were laid out
in her mind as to how they could
be best adapted for hospital; the
equipment for it was located to be

Market the Wheat.

''Tn order that we may comply with
the urgent demands of the Allies for
wheat and at the same time take care
OF our own domestic supplies, we urg-
emily need this year an earlier and
more complete marketing OF the wheat
ir farmers hands than usual. The
Allies are taking from us fifty per cent
OF other cereals than wheat to mix In
their bread. In as much as the people
in Allied countries and the soldiers
must be fed with bread baked In baker,
les, 1t is impossible for them TO pre-
pare bread made wholly out OF other
cereals, and we must furnish them
with sufficient wheat TO maintain their

of the farmers in the State OF Mary

wheat except their necessary reserves
for seed TO market before May l. This
Is war call and service for Uncle
