100 Per Cent Membership
For Red Cross Wanted

The week beginning Monday, De-
cember 10th. and ending December
23rd has been set for a Red Cross
Christmas Roll Call drive, a one-hun-
bred per cent membership drive, CIV
ing every man, woman and child a
chance to enew his membership with
the Red Cross.
One year ago, %, 600. 900 Americans
by enrolling as members OF the Red
Cross at Christmas, sent TO the men
who we're fighting our battles overseas
a stimulating message of cheer and
goodwill. This year the Christmas
message the Red Cross sends is a
message OF peace. al we'll as good
will. But peace does not necessarily
mean that we can sit back and fold
our hands. Red Cross membership
must be held together, and more, must
be increased for the great tasks yet
to come.
The exact nature of the future SER
vices of the Red Cross will depend
upon the program of the Associated
Governments, but there is immediate
need today for every cheering word
and helpful service.
The American Red Cross is an en-
rgency organization by nature-it
deals with problems as they arise. II
is a current thought that since hos
tiiitics have ceased there is no more
need of the Red Cross. But their task
Ia az great as ever. The people Of the
saddened lands. France and Belgium.
returning home today, where there
are no homes, must have the assur-
ance that the people OF America are
with them.
A solemn obligation rests upon
every American to see that the great
work of the Red Cross will go on.
The eyes Of the world are upon us
and we must not fail.
SO. II you have not yet done SO. re-
new your membership, and enroll in
the great Red Cross Christmas Roll
Call. All you need is a heart and a
dollar TO help the Red Cross "carry
on"

$4,2Ol,55O Loaned in State
By Federal Land Bank

Sioux Falls, Dec. 13.-The agricul-
tural interests Of South Dakota and
adjoining states are due for a period
of continued development and expan-
sion, in the opinion of Frank G.. Odell,
Of Omaha, Nebraska, secretary OF the
federal land bank OF this district, who
was in the city attending a convention
of grain dealers Of South Dakota.
AS an indication of the extent to
which the operation Of the federal
land bank is growing, Mr.. Odell points
to the figures during the last sixteen
months since the land bank commenc-
ed operations. Up to December 2
there had beer loaned the following
amounts:
South Dakota .$4,2Ol,55O
Iowa ............ ....... 5,829,450
Nebraska .......... ...... o'oVl'ofV
In addition TO the above amounts
during the period covered by the life
of the federal land bank for the dis
trict over $500, 900 had been loaned In
Wyoming which makes a total OF sl6,-
23O.64O loaned on gilt edged security,
for which the farmers pay 5 per cent
for thirty-five years.
There is now pending in South Da-
kota, ready for closing, about $1,000
900 more OF business, and the bank
nov Is earning 10 per cent for it's
stockholders. Secretary Odeil stated
that the business of the bank was In
creasing so fast he and other officers
could hardly handle 1t. In one years
time, he predicted, 1t will be the
greatest farm loan institution in the
northwest. In five years the greatest
in the United States, and in ten years
the greatest in the world.

DOROTHY DIX'S TALKS.
WOMEN AFTER THE WAR.
By DOROTHY DIX.
Worlds Highest Paid Woman
Writer

No war that has ever been fought
has been OF such momentous conse-
quence to women as this war. 1t has
changed the whole world for them. 1t
has literally made for them new
earth, a new heaven and a new hell,
and when it is over they will find
themselves embarked upon a sea of
life in which most OF the landmarks
by which their grandmothers steered
will have been swept away.
They will have gained the franchise
because those who are fighting to es-
tablish the democracy of the world
cannot deny the right of the ballot to
half of the inhabitants thereof. The
walls of the harem in which women
have been literally, or figuratively.
shut up for centuries will be broken
down never to be rebuilt again.
Nobody can ever again talk about
woman's sacred sphere or the potency
of woman's gentle. silent influence
with a battalion OF women going sing
ing to certain death in a vain attempt
to shame their craven men soldiers
to fight for their country, and with
women driving motor lories on the
battle field and toiling like fiends in
ammunition factories. The war has
blotted out the sex line and left us
all just human beings.
After the war many women who
have been rich all their lives will find
themselves poor. Many who have been
poor will be rich. Many women who
have always leaned upon the strong
arms of men will find themselves
obliged to stand alone. Many women
who have lived futile. frivolous lives
and who have been stirred by the war
