When the third Liberty loan cam

county was one of the counties of thl
state of Minnesota reporting an over

the total amount reported to headquar
ters for the county was $471, 300, ol
more than $41 900 above the allotment
the county having reported "over thu
top" at the close of the fourth day d
the campaign. Since that time the fg
ures have been increased in severa.
townships and in the city of Little
Falls, where the total subscription re
ported is $201, 900. t5S.
In the drive a number of country dis
tricts greatly exceeded thier allot
ments, two districts reporting double
the allotment. Every village in Morri
son county reported "over the top
the village of Pierz reporting 5000 ovel
while 'Buckman was nearly $4,000 over
subscribed The work done by the com
mittees throughout the county was high
~ satisfactory, and the number Of Hon
or Flags to be awarded to commnu
tiles in the county is beyond the ex
pectations of the executive committee
The county in addition will receive al
Honor Flag. ~.. -.
Solicitors in several country districts
were assisted during the drive by com

sued by J. K. Martin, Morrison county
chairman: .}59
"Morrison county made good only
through the hearty support Of all work
ers. Permit me to extend my appre
citation for the good work done during
the six days drive. The canvass was
thorough, and the committees worked
persistently. What has been accom-
pished places our county on the honor
list, and we shall be awarded the honor
flag as mark Of the. support give1
our country. The men who spent mucl
time and energy to place their districts
above the allotment are patriotic citi
zens of the true blue type, and Morri

= RED CROSS
Press Committee)


In order to have as great number
of trained volunteer workers as posi-
BILE ready for an emergency call, it is
thought best to have all groups of work
ers meet just once week.
The men 8 class in surgical dressings
meets every Monday night at the IL
brary. Volunteers are urged to come
to swell the already large output Of the
class. .~. So
The director general of civilian relief
announces that every transport carry
ing American soldiers abroad is to have
on board as many representatives Of
the Home Service section of the Red
Cross as are necessary to look after the
comfort of the men. They will return
to prepare reports for this department
Of the. Red Cross. -
They will learn the anxieties of the,
soldiers on board by personal !nonf ference
with them and send communications
from the men in service to their fami-
lies. The soldiers are never told very
long in advance that they are to leave
the country, so that they have little
time to correspond with families or
friends before going. The representa-
tives of the Red Cross will be able to
relieve the anxiety of the people at
home and thus encourage the soldier.
The request has come that all squares
now being knitted be used to make
>shawls for refugee women of France
and Belgium, instead Of afghans as for
/ merly. The same dimensions for the
squares can be followed Then these
can be sewed into larger square, IN
yards on each side. Around the four
edges a border should be crocheted.
This can be either the shell pattern or
the straight doubled crochet, either Of
which will make very good edge.
Then the square should be dyed either
black or dark blue. -
