of keeping on with food conservation,
thrift and Red Cross work SO long as

It looks as though the sectional
meetings which were planned for par
ents and teachers would have to be
abandoned, the letter added. The pre-
valence of influenza has made them
impossible so far, and prospects have
not yet improved. Mr.. Boerger recent
ly wrote six sections of the community
regarding the matter, and FIVE answer
ed that conditions would not permit
of any meeting now. Meetings of the
school officers which were planned
for the winter are also uncertain at

WRITE TO THE BOYS.

Just because the war is over and
you expect your boy home soon, don't
stop writing to him. He needs letters
now more than ever. He is not so
busy, and he. may be more lonesome.
Work as hard as ever to keep his
morale high, even though he is a gar
-rison soldier again. And when you do
write to him, the Home Service an
nounces that you must put your re-
turn address in the upper left har1
corner of the envelope. Your letter will
not be sent to him unless you do.
Don't forget!

ORGANIZED NEIGHBORLINESS
is AIM OF THE RED CROSS
HOME SERVICE DEPARTMENT

The Red Cross home service is or
ganized neighborliness. 1t aims to do
for the whole community what the
church or lodge does for it's members.
It great work at present is for the
soldiers families, helping them to meet
the changed conditions due to the TAX
ing of husband or son for military
service. In the spirit of helpfulness
and service, it offers sympathy and
aid to all who need it. The strongest
men in the community are at its call,
to give advice on difficult questions.
Is there delay in securing the allot-
ment and allowance due you from the
soldier and the government? Are
you worried because you have not
heard from you boy? Are there bust
ness matters on which you need adj
vice, because the man who used to at
tend to these things is away? Do you
need to take advantage of the law by
which mortgage cannot be enforced
on a soldier absent on military SER
vice? Do you want to know what
steps to take to claim the compensa-
ton or insurance due because of a
soldiers injury or death? Do you
know Of a soldiers family where there
is sickness or trouble or loneliness or
actual need? Take it to the Red
Cross. Take it to the great patriotic
lodge to which we all belong.
Coincident with the announcement
that the work Of the surgical dressing
department is ended comes word to
the Home Service division that they
are to continue all their old work and
take on new responsibilities. The work
of caring for soldiers families will not
cease so long as the men are still in
khaki. Until every man is mustered
out there will be allotments to look
after, and reports to verify. There
will be messages to transmit to cccu-
pied territory and replies to deliver.
AS some of these things are lightened,

NAPLES BOARDING WEALTH.

The maple trees of Minnesota are
boarding right now unknown millions
of pounds of sugar of most appetiz-
ing kind. In 1918 only 10000 pounds
were taken from this source, while
back in 1890, 10000 were taken. Why
should there not have been large in
crease instead of a decrease? asks J. j.
Willaman, plant chemist at University
Farm. In other parts of the country
the making of maple sugar and strip
is very profitable industry. The
trees are here in Minnesota, the har-
vesting of their crop comes at an
otherwise dull season, and there is
ready market for the product. Why
not develope the resource? The sug-
gestion is one of special interest to
farmers.

DRAINAGE MRN IN DEMAND.

The agricultural engineering dl-
vision at University Farm is calling
on drainage engineers, experienced
drainage contractors and Tiers, to
register their names and addresses
with the division at once. This call is
based on the fact that the increased
demand for food production is slim

that farmers are calling on the diyis-

today that this action renders obsolete

The reply of the allied powers to
the German counter proposals to the
peace terms is likely to be made pub
