COLORED FOLKS DO FINE
WORK FOR RED CROSS

They Have Responded Loyalty to Ap-
peals for Mercy Fund-Raised
S157.S5 in Special Drive.
To the Editor of The Robesonian: =
Please allow me space in your
worthy paper to say few words to
the public.
On last Monday night week our
worthy chairman, W. H. Knuckles,
asked that there should be a special
effort made in raising funds for the
Red Cross auxiliary, which we did
with our whole heart, soul, mind and
strength. We mean to do our bit,
though it be small. We intend to keep
the boys in good heart while they are
in the trenches in France.
We are glad to say that our people
are getting busy in the work Of the
Red Cross.
Now we believe that God is on our
President Mr.. Wilson, stands for re-
zatlon; second he is slow to anger and
o"AAC III lllC4Sy CulIu, we USll0Vo CndC
he believes that we should pray earn
estly to God in order that we NAV win
this war, and if God be for US, which
these principles show that he is, the
Kaiser and all of his host cannot with
stand US.
Now, let US continue the good work
of mercy and prayer and do our bit
and God will bring the Kaiser to his
senses, as He brought the king Of
Babylon.
Now, in conclusion, let me mention
the rally that was held vat Providence
Baptist church on Monday night of
this week for the Red Cross, which
was success. The following names
responded: Jake Bell, $40; Garry
Mosley, $25; Mrs. W. 2. -1cNeili,
$12.55; Rev. J. D. Harrell, S12: W.
Robert McNeill, $12.10; Prof. W. H.

$1.25; Rev. w. C. Pope, So; Rev. J. S.
McKeller, 81; Public collection and
grand total for the evening, S157.85.
We intend to keep the good work
going until we are bidden to do other
wise.
Yours for the Red Cross auxiliary.

SHOWS FREE TO
 ALLIED TROOPS

Paris, Dec. 17.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press .)-The Palais de Glace, in Paris, which the Y. M. c. A. has opened as an amusement place for American and Allied soldiers, is hid- den among the trees in the Champs Elysees and had long been one of the World-famous skating rinks. It was opened in October and is going to be a life saver to the lonely boy who has no money to spend in expensive music halls. The theatre in this Palace seats 1,S00 and every afternoon and every night there is something doing" And it is open to all.
 The tired French Poilu, the British Tommy, the Polish Legionnaire, the Greek, anybody on the allied side can walk up to the counter and rerresn his hungry body with hot soup and salad and sandwiches, alongside of the American boy. The shows are absol- utely free to all men and women in the uniforms of the allied nations.
 The weekly programme is made up of two professional boxing matches a week; two vaudeville shows given by Broadway's best talent, Chicago's latest hits and Frisco's popular teams i; one religious evening beginning with movies, and one night week of infor-

NEW COTTON STANARDS
 FOR STYLE LENGTHS

Washington, Dec. 17-New official standards of the United States for length of staple of cotton soon will be described by the U. s. Department of Agriculture in service and regula- tory announcement ot the Bureau of Markets.
 Nine lengths specified in the stand ards are represented by physical types as follows: s-4, 7-S, l, 1-S, l IA, l S-S, 1 1-2, l 5-6, and S-4 inches.
 Reproductions by the photogravure process of samples of cotton having these lengths (made from the original official length standards) will be shown. These ph0t0gravures show the actual measurements as nearly a, possible by any present day commer- cial method of illustration and for all practical purposes are the exact lengths of the original samples.
 Realizing that differences in. meth ods of pulling staple may be the cause of variations in results obtained by different classers, the Bureau of Mar kets has made study of the methods used by those who are acknowledged to be experts in this particular work As 3 result method has been defised

NEW TYPE OF ARMY
 MAN A SAVING MAN

Paris, Doce. 17--Not many fortun- es in American small change are being spent by General Pershlngs fighting men for they are not at all like the old style private in the days when army pay was SIS a month. This person, it will be recalled, lost his entire months emolument in flf- teen minutes experimenting with craps, whereupon he shrugged his shoulders, commeting philosophically' "Oh well, easy come-easy go."
 The new type of Yankee enlisted man isn't like that. He is a saving young man and he sends good share of his earnings to help out his wife or any other partial dependents that he may leave. In fact, he sends back as much money as he spends on himself, if figures from Y. M. c. A. financial reports may be taken as a criterion. And they ought to be considered a fair indication of the way the pay goes.
 In the first place. the private mak- es an allotment of half his base pay by government order if he has anyone at home that needs it. And if he hasn't the government takes it and saves it for him. With very few exceptions, he also is the holder of government insurance policy, which takes another bite out of his earn ings. By the time his allotment and his insurance payments have been deducted, there isn't great deal left. Yet from this little he manages to save what in the aggregate amounts to vast sum-
 In four of the five huts from which figures are valuable in one Y. M. c. A. division, the soldiers sent more money home than they spent on them selves in buying canteen supplies dur ing the month.
 In the other hut, the amount of merchandise sales was only a small percentage greater than the home re- mlttances handled by the Red Tri- angle. Taking the five huts as a whole, the difference in favor of the remittancec was over 125,000 francs for the month. One of the huts, the one whose business in all departments was the biggest of the five, sent to America almost three times as much money as it received for sales. All of which shows that the Yankee sol diers is as generous and thrifty as he is brave and capable.
 Here are the figures in total: Mer- chandise sales 254,2O2 francs, remit tances, 377,46S francs.
 In the entire division. the business office handled 1,06S,249 francs, of which 5e2,679 francs represented can- teen sales and 5O5,57 francs remit tances to the United States, or ap- proximately half and half.

 At the final session tomorrow, the conference expects 70 take up the question of what is to become of .he national guard after the damoe!!iza- tion. Governor Boyle. of Nevada. ad- dressing the conference on labor poli- cies. said public opinion mo longer approves the brutal methods Ot tha past employed in the settlement of labor controversies"
 A solution of the labor problem, must come, Governor Boyle. said. by mutual consideration goy employers and employees, and it is the function of the government, federal and state to bring these two forces together Governor Boyle said the American Federatin of Labor has been the most powerful single influence in pointing the way to practical solution o1 labor questions and in guiding men away from socialistic theories and radicalism. The l. w. w.. he said includes many honest men. waiting for the right kind cf leadership.

CANOA WILL FINANCE
 AGRICULTURE LARELY

Winnipeg, Canada, Dec. 17.sThe financial resources of Western Can- ada are being placed at the disposal of farmers in the prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, where grain farming will more than ever be the chief industry when the eighty thousand soldiers of the three provinces return from overseas. Mortgage companies and chartered banks never were more able to finance industries in this stretch of country. about $100,0OO,0O0 being available for immediate use through such institu- tions. Besides the federal and provin- clal governments are making exten- , slve plans for extending financial aid.
 The immense possibilities of the prairies as food-growing country have been carefully considered by government officials. Not only will vast tracts be made available to the i soldiers on a homestead basis, but the federal and provincial govern ments will give financial assistance in equipping the new farms with proper , machinery. Long term loans will be provided through rural credits sys- tems.
 Extension of manufactures, as we'll as agriculture, in Western Canada is anticipated. One of the first questions taken up by the Inter-Provincial con- ference which has been in progress at Ottawa was the transfer of control of natural resources of the prairie pro- vinces from federal to provincial gov ernments. It is urged that the trans fer, for years an unsettled matter, would make it possible for individual provinces to develop and other indus tries on their own initiative.
 At Estevan, Sask.. for instance, there are huge deposits of soft coal and movement is already under way to establish several big factories in the district for the purpose of utiliz- ing the coal.
