HAAkON COUNTY OVER The
TOP IN RED CROSS DRIVE
TOTAL Of 1876 MEMBERS---PHILIP HAS
521, IS HEAD OF The LIST----OTHER
RED CROSS NEWS.

Attention is called to the fact thai
our county secretary, Mrs. 7. J
Mcclure, will have to write nearly
ficates as a result of the Christ
mas Drive. If certificates are mail
ed to each individual member the
outlay for envelopes and postage
will be considerable. Again, in
many instances local secretaries
have not furnished us with the
postoffice addresses of our new
members; so i seems best to send
all membership certificates to local
secretaries, and ask their coopera-
tion in the distribution. In many
instances, there will be opportuni,
ties to hand the certificates to the
persons interested. At any rate the
certificate cannot be mailed from
county headquarters for lack OF
necessary addresses.
The following is letter just re-
ceived by the county chapter:

GOVERNMENT TAKES
CONTROL OF RAILROADS
CHANGE MADE AT NOON LAST FRIDAY
SECRETARY OF TREASURY MeAD00
TO Be DIRECTING HEAD.

At noon Friday, Dec. 2Sth, every
railroad doing a general transpor-
tation business in the United States
went under control of the govern
ment. The direct management will
remain with the head officials of
the roads who will be under the
direction of Secretary of the Treas
ury, McAdoo and the Railroad War
Board. Some such action has been
contemplated for some time but the
action of the president came as a
surprise to everybody including the
people close to affairs in Washing
ton and the railroad officials.
The railroads for some time
have been hindered in giving the
best service possible by pooling
their interests, owing to the pro-
vision in our statutes which pro-
hbits such action on the part of
roads privately controlled. 1t is un-
derstood that the action has met
with the approval of the majority
of the heads of the roads who are
willing to cooperate with the gov
ernment.
The president issued statement
to the effect that he would recon-
mend TO congress, as soon as IL
convenes, such legislation as would
guarantee to the owners of the
roads, earnings equal to that
averaged in the three years prior
to June 80. 1917, and also to main
tain the property in good repair.
1t is estimated that this will cost
the government in the neighborhood
of $780, 100000 in the next year
which will probably be covered part
ly by increased freight rates.

The total mem bership of the Red
Cross in Haakon county is there
fore 1876, including 1899 adult
members and 277 junior members.
The population of the county is
1858. Counting the adult members
alone As per cent. of the popula-
ton is enrolled and including the
junior members SO per cent. of the
population is enrolled. Had this
rate been extended throughout the
nation the American Red Cross
would have over fifty million mem
bers instead of eighteen million as
reported The result is very graft
flying, especially in view of the
zero weather and the vast territory
covered. Every local organization
shows a fine gain. Some had much
better opportunity for work than
others, and it would perhaps be
just praise to say that everyone
seems to have done his best.
