RED CROSS

The American Red Cross will pro-
vide mourning brassards to be worn
by relatives of men who have given
their lives to their country, accord
Ing to an announcement made by

WAR STAMP PLEDGES

EulloIss=
Now that the Fourth Liberty
Loan and the Political Campaigns
are over. Colorado yet has one more
task to complete by December 31st.,
in order TO round out perfect year
of War activities.
That task is the raising of her
quota of twenty million dollars thru
the sale of War Savings Stamps.
To date we have sold approximately
eleven million dollars worth of these
Stamps leaving nine million yet to
be sold. During the drive of June
2Sth, our citizens pledged to pur-
chase eighteen million dollars worth
of these stamps. The redemption of
these pledges has not been complete
each month as. the redemption of
pledges to purchase Liberty Bonds.
We want you to cooperate with
til War Savings Stamp Campaign
organization of yqsr city. county
and state to secure the redemption
of these pledges and the purchase
of an additional amount sufficient
to complete Colorado's quota. The
Colorado State War Savings Commit
tee cooperating with the ~variius
County and City Committees is just
beginning campaign that will ex-
tend to December 31st., and which
viii include an intensive drive some
time in the early part of December
to secure the complexion of this
quota.
May we count on you for this CO.
operation?
Yours for the success of the War
Savings Stamp Campaign.

FOOD PLANS UPSET
BY PEACE PACTS
WHEAT PLENTIFUL = MAY NOW
BE FED A NJ M A L s - BUT
WORLDS l-ARDER OTHER
WISE SHORT.

With ocean lanes to all markets OF
the world open again. the food situa,
ton has been overturned and en.-relv
new conditions set up.
As consequence the issuing Of the
1919 Home Card announced by the
Food Administration has been aban-
doned. new inventory of the worlds
food supplies is now being taken. and
Herbert Hoover plans to announce to
America very shortly an entirely new
and amazing food program.
Indications are that, with plenty of
wheat now available from India, Aus
tralia, Baltic ports. and the Argentine.
no further wheat saving will be asked.
but that on every other food product
particularly fats and sugar-the lid
will tighten firmer than ever.
Wheat may now be fed to animals
without the customary permit from
the Food Administration. the rules
formerly forbidding the sale of wheat
as feed having been repealed, accord
ing to word received by the Colorado
food board.
When definite reports from the con.
quered peoples come in on the con-
dition of their food supplies and the
needs of their respective countries,
America will find that she must SUP
ply not only the anticipated 17,550,0GO
tons-and MORE-of food stuffs. but
must share her dairy herds, swine,
beef cattle and poultry to restock
European farms, is the belief OF the
Food Administration.
Holland. for example, has already
put in an order for 10000 head OF
dairy cattle.

A GOLD STAR
ONE BROTHER OF SIN MAKES
THE SUPREME SACRIFICE.

Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore L. Haugen,
of this city, are in receipt of the fol-
lowing letter from their brother, Ar
thur, overseas. The family is dis
tinguished by having six sons with
the %colors, one of whom has made the
supreme sacrifice. Following is Ar
thurs letter to his brother and wife:
Somewhere in France, August is,
191S.-Dear Brother Theodore and
Gladys: Just received your very well
come letter, and am always glad to
get others. / wrote to Gladys, but
whenever I do write, it is for both,
or all of you. Do not feel bad, but |
must tell you that it is no use to
write to Otto any more. Every hon
or due an American soldier is his.
We were fortunate in having our reg
mental chaplain present at the bur
ial. Every sacred rite that could be
shown was given him. Since that
time all officers and men have shown
US the utmost consideration. We do
not show our grief-we must-and
We will carry on" until this question
with the Hun is settled. Otto was
such a good kid and a very obedient
soldier. Nothing but praise have ]
heard from the officers and men OF
Company A. He did his duty nobly
and made the supreme sacrifice.
The weather is grand here just
now, and l hope ii will last a while.
| get such nice letters from Elva, and
she must be getting along well and
having a wonderful time. l wish
could tell you where we are-but you
must have heard of the American ex,
ploits in France. Well you can fig.
ure US in IN the glory. You must
know there are times when il is i'm
possible for us to write at all, and
do not feel that a short letter is a
slight. We think about you all the
time. / thank you all for writing to
us and hope to hear from you again
1t is an honor to have a service FLAG
with six stars, but now you must
change one to gold. This makes sew
EN- letters today. You know how
many places / must write to. Good
bye dear folks and God bless you all

and likewise played for their review.
The general told me we Were the first
u. S. band to be honored for such
purpose. We felt it an honor our
selves. We also gave a concert at
a hospital yesterday afternoon and
last night, SO yesterday we were quite
busy. We are at present at a re-
ceiving station where the wounded
are brought from the fighting Tone.
They are dressed and sem to the base
hospital. What u work will be is
not known to us, but are anxious to
do all we can to help in any way we
can. To crab" now is out of the
question. see some of the band has
been put in with their companies.
We are not very far from a large
city, which you may guess perhaps,
but there are a number of them. Ey-
erything has moved along well. |
feel that Col. Wales has done the best
he could for us and is well loved by
the regiment. We have seen several
air battles since being here and at
our last station. In closing you a all
feel assured we are here to win. With
my fondest love to you all, / am, as
ever, your faithful and loving hus-

the "a hours, so l could not visit
with them.
Since crossing the Marine, have had
many nor thrilling experiences.
While observing from Hill 204, which
had formerly been the scene of
many hard fights in this advance, my
telegrapher was shot by a boche from
the concealment of a dugout and he
also fired at me. / buried my friend
in a nearby shell hole and buried the
boche at the entrance to the dugout
where he fell. Alone, I conducted
the last rites. At F. tt while
observing from the church steeple,
the town was retaken by the boches
and again taken by the Yanks. In
the streets below, the most terrible
carnage and hand to hand fighting
was going on. My regiment was at
that moment doing counter battery
work at enemy guns several miles to
the front and it was darn hard to
keep watching my objective, hello
graph the signals back, see what was
going on in the bloody streets below,
and yet not miss any of the fun. |
am sending home to the state histor-
ical department the leather knapsack
and iron helmet of the boche / buried
on Hill 204. 1t has a special signifi-
canoe to me.
Things l heard in the states about
the brutality of the Germans in this
war are nothing to what l have seen
with my own eyes. The evidences |
have seen of their inhumanity makes
one shrivel with pain. Every ounce
of American must be devot-
ed to winning this war.
IL I'm lucky and live we will have
a grand old visit when l get home.
Your farewell in New York city has
meant a lot to me. If / don't come
back, remember / consider it a priv
ilege to be here participating. 1 know
for sure now that my bit has helped
a wee amount and when one reckons
what we're fighting for the knowl-
edge makes me happy. Sincerely
your friend, Otto B. Linstad, Captain,
14Sth F. A.
