now on public employment can not be handled right without full realization of this.
 The second article in this creed should be service. This is the United States em- ployment service The employer or wage earner who does not need employment help at some time is as rare as the per son who never needs postal service. The government offers it's employment ser- vice to every working person in America, men and women alike.
 ''It is our duty, as stressed elsewhere in this issue. to make every woman in America feel that this is her service: that it will succeed or fail according to whether she helps by cooperation or flinders by indifference.
 This does not mean of course that every woman should leave her home for employment at so much per day. It does mean that if the employment service is to succeed in it's womens work every woman must be intelligent about it and what it is trying to do; that she knows who is representing 1t in her community or in the nearest city. If she is a home woman, no matter what her position, there are times when she will be able to help greatly by cooperation with the of ficers of her local office If she is ems ployed, in no matter what capacity, she should use the service as need arises and urge others to use it.

Restoration Work in France and
Belgium

Most of us have taken it fol
granted that America would have
a good deal to do with the rebuild
ing of the devastated portions O.
France and Belgium. It appear:
that the Red Cross is already en-
gagged in such work.
Near Havre, France, there has
been built typical Belgian vii
lage,' which is Belgian only il
architectural style, the whole idea
of the thing being characteristically
American. It is portable town,
the first of the kind ever construct
ed in Europe. The houses are made
after the method devised by Ameri-
can designers, in sectional units
so that they can be easily taken
apart, shipped and put together
again.
There are homes for 100 families
two school houses and a big CO.
operative store. The cottages have
electric lights, running water and
gardens. That village is already
occupied by Belgian refugees, hv-
ing their accustomed community
life. When peace is established, it
will be moved bodily to Belgium,
everything but the gardens; and the
inhabitants will prefer their own
soil, even to the soil of kindly
France.
While no announcemen is made
to that effect, it may be assumed
that this plan will be followed on
large scale in all the regions where
war has swept the land bare. 1t
will afford a prompt. effective way
of repatriating the natives and re-
storing the old life and activity.
America will furnish plans and
much of the building material and
supervising skill.
1t is a task in which we shall take
no less satisfaction than in the ac-
tual liberation of those homeless
people from the German yoke.

Message to Red Cross Workers
To all Chapters in the Pacific Division:

: On February 10th of last year
nearly six weeks before the United
States declared war, National Red
Cross Headquarters advised its
chapters to prepare for war. That
which followed, the records of the
Red Cross in helping to win this
war and to relieve the suffering
growing out of it. constitutes some
thing of which every American
citizen has a right to be proud.
Every American Red Cross worker
must feel a sense of gratitude in
having had share in it all.
This moment has now come to
prepare for peace. Actual peace
may come at any moment; it may
be deferred for some time. Until
peace is really here there can be no
relaxation iu any Red Cross effort
incident to active hostilities.
But even with peace, let no one
suppose that the work of the Red
Cross is finished. Millions of
American boys are still under arms.
Thousands of them are sick or
wounded. Owing to the shortage
in shipping, it may take a year or
more to bring our boys home from
France. But whatever the time,
our protective arms must be about
them and their families over the
whole period which must elapse
before the normal life of peace can
be resumed.
Our soldiers and sailors are Ell
listed until the Commander = in
chief tells them that there is no
more work for them to do in the
war. Let every Red Cross member
and worker show Our returning
soldiers and sailors that to care for
their health, welfare, and happi
ness, we are enlisted for no less a
period than they are.
The cessation of war will re-
veal a picture of misery such as the
world has never seen before, espeCl-
ally in the many countries which
can not help themselves. The
American people will expect the
Red Cross to continue to act as
their agent in repairing broken
spirits and broken bodies. Peace
terms and peace conditions will de-
ternine how we may best minister
to the. vast stricken areas which
have been narrowed by war, and Ill
this great act of mercy, the heart
and spirit of the American people
must continue to be modified
through the American Red Cross.
"On behalf of the War Council,
we accordingly ask each member
of our splendid body of workers
throughout the land to bear i'll

To Delay Raising Influenza
Quarantine

In view of the fact that there are
now some twenty-five or thirty
cases of influenza in the town of
Benson and many more in the out
lying tributary districts, and that
the reopening of the schools at this
critical time would tend to spread
the disease, which might cause the
loss of many lives, it has been de-
cided by the trustees of the Benson
Union High School and the trus-
tees of the Benson Grammar
School in joint session not to re-
open the schools at the present
time. But to wait until the health
conditions of the community are
more favorable.
That the citizens might do their
part to help stamp out the awful
influenza, which is now depriving
Our country of so many lives, caus-
ing untold sorrow, we earnestly
urge and humbly plead that all
parents see to it that their children
do not gather in groups on the
streets; that no visiting, by young
or old, be allowed; and that all So
cial gatherings be discontinued for
the present.
A full compliance with these re-
quests and frequent consultations
with your family physician will
soon restore health to the commit
nifty and enable us to reopen the
schools at an early date.
