BEAUTIFUL RED CROSS NURSES

A war correspondent for Phila-
delphia paper, writing from France
says he never saw Red Cross nurse
who was not beautiful within "a
hours after she had donned her uni
form and gone to work with her min
istries among the Ill or wounded.
As mere women Red Cross nurses
are not fairer to look upon than their
sisters in other walks of life. Nurses
Of this great organization are not Sc
lected for their prettiness Of face or
figure, although many of them meas
ure up beyond par in feminine pulch-
ritude.
Why, then, did this correspondent
find all the Red Cross nurses that he
saw beautiful within "a hours after
he first watched them on duty? The
question scarcely needs answering be-
cause the answer is obvious. The
work they do is the kind that glori-
fles womanhood. 1t is the spirit of
love, OF mercy and of tender sympa-
thy actuating them in their ministries
that makes them beautiful to those to
whom they minister and those who
look on.
The ideal Red Cross nurse is phys
ically strong, cheerful, alert, brave,
competent and mistress OF the situa-
tions as they arise. She has intelli-
gence, initiative and moral fiber.
Above any one of these she is domin-
ated by woman love-the love that
dares greatly for the veal and COM
fort of a stricken fellow creature.
II the American people could see
the Red Cross nurses in the war zones
giving the full measure of their devo-
tion as this correspondent has seen
them. they would be even more cor
dial in giving of their bounties to
make this wonderful work possible

FUTURE COMMERCIAL PROBLEMS

Drugs, dyestuffs and chemicals have
shared with and even exceeded NUM-
tions as favored field for expansion
since the war began. Upwards cf
$377 100000 have been put into new
establishments of this sort as against
only $267 100000 in new munition
plants. After the war the munition
plants will have to be turned to other
uses, while the chemical factories
the dye plants and the drug concerns
will be able to go on with their busi-
ness. That is, they will be able to
go on il by that time some consider
alton has been given to their neces-
stiles by the lawmakers The read
justment of our commercial relations
when peace comes will not be mere
matter of drawing treaties which
shall make the world safe for democ-
racy; it will require close attention
to the conditions which the war will
have created in our whole industrial
system. The new plants which have
sprung up In response to insistent
war demands will present. problems
which can be solved only by just
view of their needs in relation to the
conditions which will then prevail.

GIVE FREELY

The annual drive for the Red Cross
is now on. The country was told
plainly. q yeaf.aso, that the hundtsd
millions then raised for this magni-
ficent benefaction would have to be
duplicated every year of the war. And,
so swiftly does time move, that the
first year is ended and the demands
of the Red Cross are renewed. The re-
sponse will be as prompt and as gem
erous this time as it was before. The
hundred millions given to the Red
Cross last year have been the best
used of all the millions that the war
has cost. Without graft and with
manifest efficiency the Red Cross has
done its work. Its personnel is sim
gularly free from the self-seeking,
swivel-chair type Of administrator
whom this war has 80 prOlifically
produced. Men and women of the
highest type of mind and action man
age the Red Cross. From its doors
politics has been ridgidly barred. In
contributing to the Red Cross, the
generous people Of the country may
be sure that their dollars reach the
intended beneficiaries with the slight
est attrition for expenses of admins
ttration and that the highest percent
age of return is had for every dollar
used.

RED CROSS NEWS

RED CkOSS NEWS
From a list of donations that we
have seen it appears that the Elwood
branch will have fine sale on Dec
oration day, May 80, at Mike Feeney's
ranch. The branch must be adver-
tising $4,000 or $4,000 worth of live
stock for sale. There should be big
attendance for we predict that it will
be the biggest Red Cross sale ever
held fifty miles from a railroad in
the United States.
The public sale at Midland last
Saturday was great one. The total
proceeds from everything was above
$4,000. Not many towns in the whole
country the size OF Midland can make
such showing; we doubt il there is
another one Indeed, we may say,
without the least intention of start
ing anything, that we know a town
that puts on some airs as the Capital
City of a great state that was not
able to make the showing that Mid
land made.
On Monday the Haakon county chap
ter made the largest monthly ship

it has ever made. Here is the list:

HE FIRED THE FIRST SHOT

Gabriel Prinzip, the hare-brained
Serb whose pistol at Sarajevo, nearly
four years ago. awoke the world to
war, has Just died in an Austrian
prison. Prinzip was long ago forgot
ten as q factor in making of Arma-
geddon; and his death has produced
only casual comment anywhere
Whether he was inspired to his mad
act by any authoritative Serbian of,
ficial will probably always remain Z
moot question, but its consequeces
are too stupendous to be speculated
upon now. 1t was the Austrian de-
mand for participation nthe Trtbu-
nal which was to try Prinzip's al
legged accomplices that led Russia to
come to the defense of Serb sovereign
ty-and now Russia herself is beneath
the heel OF the Teutonic powers. The
mind which could have visualized the
events OF today when Prinzip fired his
fanatical shot would have been deem
ed as unsound as Prinzip's.

The second War Fund campaign for
hundred million dollars commenced
Monday morning. Enough of the
branches had reported an oversub-
scription by ten o'clock SO that J. w.
Barksdale could telegraph state head
quarters at Sioux Falls that we had
raised our allotment of $500. So
far every branch has raised its alot-
ment. Just little more than dol
lar member was apportioned to
to guard against the possibility that
some branch might not be able to
raise their share. No such branch
has yet been located, and when the re-
turns are all in we believe all our or
ganizations will be "over the top"

public sale for early July. The ex-
act date and program will be an
