netted /$17.27. This amount was
sent to County Superintendent Stew
art.
The Red Cross campaign brought
in for the school $24.15, by individ-
ual rs cent contributions from pu-
pills. A tag day contest added S44.S7
more. AS the enrolment of the school
is 1873 pupils we needed to raise only
$45.75 at Is cents per pupil. But
we took in $69.O2 instead. Our
school sent the whole amount to
County Superintendent Stewart. We
received a receipt for same and a
letter highly praising the school for
the splendid showing made. The
school is now Red Cross auxiliary
and we are immensely proud OF the
fact.
The Thrift Stamp program has
been thoroughly presented to the
school. Practically every pupil has
signed a pledge. In one week our
school had 230 Thrift Stamps to its
credit and one Liberty Bond for $50.
All these are owned by the pupils of
the school. The work is energetically
going on.
d A large War Savings and Home
Work Credit Card is kept by each
pupil attending school. On these
cards are shown the various ways by
which the pupils are helping their
parents to save money on work and in
lessened home expenses. Our school
now has five War Savings societies,
regularly organized. Meetings are
held and reports are made every two
weeks.
Thanks are due Mrs. Belts for cor
dial assistance and to Pauline Pfund

Miss Jane Delano has been added
to the list of speakers who will con-
tribute to the "all-woman" program.
Miss Delano represents the Red
Cross, and, with other leaders in
women's war work, will urge the
passage by the Senate Of the federal
suffrage amendment. Mrs. Raymond
Robins Of Chicago will speak for the
women in war Industries.
in various capacities will attend the
meeting as an indication of the appeal
by women for voice in reconstruct
ton problems. The questions to be
discussed in general are: Has the as
ISOLATION, which pledged itself to
serve the government, lived up to that
promise? Can the government. which
accepted the war service of its women,
deny them political recognition in
after-war problems? How strong an
appeal therefor may the war workers
make?
The local meeting is the central one
of a nationwide chain which the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage As-
ISOLATION has arranged for the first
fortnight in December to open it's
short session campain for the federal
amendment.

WOULD Have SOLDIERS
AS MAIL CLERKS HERE
Wanted by Post Office to Fill Jobs
Formerly Given schoolboys Dur
ing Christmas Rush.

Soldiers to handle the Christmas
mails here, in place of high school
boys formerly employed during
Christmas, constitute the working
program Of the city post office to
facilitate mailing and receiving
Christmas gifts.
A request has been made upon the
adjutant general Of the Army for 200
soldiers. preferably from Camp Meigs
1t is indicated that the request prob
ably will be granted. Securing the
men from the local camp would save
transportation, it is pointed out, and
insure men familiar with local con-
ditions.
If the services Of soldiers are not
granted by December Is the city post
office will have to resort to other
means to secure the necessary help
ers to handle the enormously in
to be augmented far beyond anything
IN the history of the office. Already
the parcel post mails are larger than
at Christmas time last year.
High school students will not be
available for the extra carrier work
this tn season. Superintendent Of Schools
Thurston has informed City Postmas-
ter Chance that. owing to the sus-
pension of schools on account Of the
influenza during October the boys
will not be permitted to work for the
city post office.
that the annual Christmas contest
among the high school boys for places
on the Christmas mail work has not
taken place.

MAY NAME Mr.. HOOVER
WORLDS FOOD DICTATOR
Allied Representatives at Peace
Conference to Take Steps to
Alleviate Famine Conditions.

Herbert Hoover, federal food admin
istrator and chairman of the Belgium
relief commission. is likely to be
made food dictator OF the world.
Conditions all over the world are
such as to demand the strongest kind
of leadership. It is considered ap-
parent that Administrator Hoover
will be named by the allied peace
at Paris to assume the
responsibility of this big undertake
ing.
Chaotic conditions in Europe and
the deplorable state of affairs exist
ing in many countries make it i'm
perative to create a. world relief or
ganization. possibly similar to the
commission which has managed the
relief of Belgium since the German
invasion. Conditions are said also to
make such an organization necessary
to control food distribution and to re-
store economic order. Proper distribu-
ton only can be made possible
through the efficiency of such an or
ganfzation.
This step is accepted in many quar-
tiers now as the only means of avert
ing a long period of famine, disorder
and industrial stagnation, which has
become so acute. even more serious
than the press dispatches indicate.
