Red Cross News.

The Red Cross has moved from
the Funke building into the Gold
stone building, across the street
from the Chronicle office. A vote
of thanks was given by the society
to Mr.. Funke, who so kindly do
mated the use of his room since
the society was organized. He
not only did this but built all the
fires and did the sweeping this
winter. Words cannot express
our appreciation of his help and
interest shown in our work. He
was true neighbor and patriot
and we are very sorry the room
was not larger. We also appre-
ciate Mr.. Hamlin's help in donat-
ing dray service. We wish to
thank all who helped us to get
settled in our new home, includ-
ing Butt Cutt, who helped clean
the rooms.
Our enrolment is 500, about
half of whom are women, but not
a great percentage are workers.
Why are you not? Get "over the
top" and into our new quarters
and give one day a week to the
boys who are giving their life
blood for you. We have room for
all of you. Could you listen to
Mr.. McKie Monday night and
not feel conscience smitten for
not one stitch have you taken for
the cause?
1t is true many of you with
families of little ones have not
the time, but how about you who
have time for everything except
this? You don't have to be
general; you don't have to wear
uniform nor go to a foreign land.
The time has come when a man
or woman is going to be measured
not by money, not by name, not
by family, but by service.
Get your name on the Service
roll of the Red Cross as we'll as on
the membership roll. Come in
and help. Many are working in
their homes.
The cutting will also be done
at Red Cross r25ms as we'll as
basting and stitching.
We are grateful to the following
for quilts: Mesdames Will Buett-
ner, Wasem, w. H. Fortin, L. S.
Fortin, Chas. Staal. Mr.. Will
Buettner donated $40, Mr.. Jake
Jensen $11.9O, Mrs. H. B. Blake
SIS, Mrs. Felix Martzen 81, Mrs.
Jack Moriarty 81, Mrs. Fitzger-
aid So.
We wish to thank Mr.. Kendall
for wiring the new room and Ell
vim Parker for some shelving, also
Jas. Wright for $23, the proceeds
of bride auctioned at his sale
for the Red Cross.
The two entertainments given
by the Troubadours March 23 and
"a, netted the Red Cross $44.50.
$52.25 was cleared on the lecture
by Mr.. McKie and the dance
Tuesday night brought in $6.25.
The Entertainment Committee
has turned over the $44.50 to the
Red Cross, but will hold the lect-
ure and dance proceeds as re-
serve fund until the next Red
Cross entertainment is given.

Henry Soards, age IS and un-

early Wednesday morning. We
have not been able to learn wheth-
er the explosion was accidental or
not. Soards had great deal of
trouble with Salmon river people,
who accused him Of cattle "rust-
ling" and this may have led to
his tragic death. The matter is
being investigated.

Neal McGuire's house, 6 miles
northwest of Keuterville, burned
to the ground Monday evening
with all its contents. His gran
ary, containing all Of his spring
seed grain and a number of farm
tools, was also destroyed. 1t is
thought the fire started from a de-
fective flue or from sparks, and
before being discovered had gain
ed such headway that it was inn
possible to save anything. 1t re-
quired the hardest kind of work
to prevent the fire from spreading
to the barn. The loss is over
$1,000, with no insurance.

Towns Can Help Farmers.

There is an opportunity now for ur-
ban people alphabetically and con-
structively to study the farm-labor sit
uation and to render assistance, said
David f. Houston, secretary Of agri-
culture, in a recent statement. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience, who
are. able-bodied and who doubtless
would be willing to serve the nation
in the field of agriculture at this time.
Especially for the seasonal strains Of
planting, cultivating and harvesting, It
will not be too much to ask such men
to aid the farmers in the necessary un-
dertaking of maintaining and, If posi-
BILE, supplementing, the food supply in
order to feed the armies and to sustain
the civilian population behind them.
If 1t appears that the farmers of
community or region are not able to
secure the necessary labor by the usual
methods, then the leaders in the town
or city Immediately dependent upon
that region should organize. establish
touch with representative farm lead
ers, and see If they cannot assist in
solving the problem. The department
Of agriculture and labor will render
every possible aid, but each community
knows it's own problems, and urban
people, especially business men, could
cooperate effectively with the farmers
and also render much assistance.

Work Women Can Do.

Women and girls who wish to help
the farms produce more food can be of
immediate service In the lighter farm
tasks such as fruit and berry picking,
sorting and packing They can help
over-busy farm women in their house
hold tasks. especially in preparing the
large amount of food needed for har-
veSting crews
Indirectly they can help the farmers
with their heavy work by taking the
place of their men folks who perform
lighter tasks in Office, store, or factory,
thereby relieving these men at critical
times to go out to the farms and help
with the heavy work unsuited to wom-
ems physical strength

Men and Boys Firstl

The farmers will need human help
to handle and harvest the vast acre
ages needed to produce enough bread
for the nation and the allies This
work calls for Drawn, muscle, physical
endurance. Time to think of women
at heavy work in the fields when there
are no American men and boys to be
spared from store, Office or factory.
No business save fighting and pro-
vfding the things fighters must have to
win battles is more important than pro-
ducing enough food. Give your atten-
ton to food production on some farm.
Help your employees to get out to the
farms at harvest and other critical
seasons.

VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.

Engiand's experience in train
ing more than 30O, 600 women to
help make up the deficiency In
man power on her farms will be
valuable to workers in this coun-
try should 1t become necessary
under labor stringencies in GER
tain sections to enlist women
farm workers. At this time 1t
is not apparent to officials of the
United States department of
agriculture that the farm labor
needs will require the services Of
women in other than the lighter
tasks to which they already are
accustomed. But in order that
food production plans for this
year shall not fall down, the de-
partment has advised its field
representatives to be prepared
to encourage women to perform
farm labor IL the situation de-
mands 1t.

NAVY SEA TRANSPORT
PROBLEM Is SOLVED
All Vessels in Service to Be
Operated as Single Unit
From Washington

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-The over
seas transport ltion problem. so far as
il affects the nearly 100 vessels in the
transport service Of the navy, has been
solved. All Of these vessels. which in
cIude some Of the largest afIoat have
been PLACID under the direction Of what
is to be known as the naval overseas
transportation service. Hereafter they
will be operated Is "A single unit and
will be directed from Washington
While the present system is confined
only to the navy, it is likely to be cx-
tended to all American shipping cross
ing the Atlantic 1t Is violating no
secret to say that the loss of one Amer
lean transport vessel and the damaging
of another was due to the fact that the
navy, which was conveying them, had
no authority To- compel their captains to
zigzag and follow certain navigating
instructions while in the submarine
danger zone. However, this will be
avoided under the new plan.
Another thing which viii benefit the
United States in this connection is that
when the war ends and these vessels
are turned back to their original own
crs they will be manned by far better
crews than they were when they were
taken over by the navy.
