Cross, succeeded in organizing and
systematizing the work so that
direct help and relief were being
extended to the sufferers without
serious delay. Old men were not
kept waiting until they were i'll
and weak women did not faint
from exhaustion and nervous
strain.
It was not until the Relief COM
mission took control with its pro-
fessional workers, that enthusiasm
checked and cooled down.
! cat that stage, the heart
throbs, so to speak, seemed sud-
denly to give way to the lifeless
system Of red tape which made the
applicant for relief approach
headquarters with timidity, if not
shame. That feeling of timidity
also took hold of the whole body
of local men and women who in
augrrated the relief work.
Zone woman who got goods
under false pretenses was given
so much publicity by the daily
papers that many worthy people
were deferred from applying for
relief due them.
"After the paid, professional
worker came, there seemed to be
a greater tendency to ignore Sec
ond hand materials. The fire
swept everything so clean that al
most any second hand material or
object was of use to some one and
very welcome. A careful and i'll
telligent salvaging Of boots, shoes,
Undertaking, hats and caps and
garments of all kinds would have
saved much stuff that was thrown
aside.
"There were delays with food
stuffs. Up at Adolph four adults
and eight children occupied one
small shack. They had few gro
ceries but no vegetables. l re-
ported the case and asked that
two bushels of potatoes be sup
Piled. I was told that they would
be sent at once but, a week later,
when by the shack, the vegetables
had not arrived.
''I fully agree with the Rip
asw's idea of relief, viz. Re-
Mobilization at the expense of the
state. I believe that about So, OOO,-
900, one-third Of the total loss,
will be sufficient for that, but
nothing less. A couple million
more would be safer.''
Capt. Burress' bombardment of
the Eva intrenchments has been
forgotten in the discussion. He
fred rapidly, which caused Col.
Eva to bring up big guns in the
jshape of unanimously written re-
ports on the case. The legislative
subcommittee reinforced Col. Eva.
His Amazon Nightingales sup
ported his left flank. The story
Of how the Gilberts lived and how
Mrs. Gilbert died last Monday
morning, out there in that tiny
paper shack, was told and retold.
When the Red Cross angel told
how salt pork and beans were sup
piled the aged couple, Capt. Bur
ress said that such diet would
turn his stomach, to say nothing
of that of a sick woman.
"She could have eaten the ce-
real, the bacon-that often Is
given invalids-the prunes, the
milk, the bread and other things"
replied the nimble-witted Night
ingale. -
That made Capt. Burress gasp
for a second.
The legislative subcommittee,
solons Bendixen, Pattison and Ber-
nard, decided with Col. Eva that
the Gilberts had been we'll treated.
Capt. Burress drew off his
forces, still unsatisffied and with
an inclination to fight some more
on another day.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-02-08
IMPORTANT PROPOSITION.

The previous issue Of the Rip
saw required an edition Of 10000
copies. The entire edition was
sold out in two days. Numbers
of news-dealers have been unable
to supply the persistent demand
by their customers. The people
want the Rip-saw and propose to
have it.
This issue Of the Rip-saw con-
sists of $4,000 copies. If this
proves inadequate to meet the
public's demand, a still larger
number Of copies will be printed
next time. We do not propose to
have the people Of the Eighth con-
gressional district suffer from
brain hunger or mental impover-
ishment.
There is an insistent demand
that the Rip-saw be issued weekly.
So far, we have not had the time,
strength and capital to make the
paper a weekly: Toe that means
double the present work and,
probably, triple the present over
head expense. A weekly issue of
the Rip-saw would compel us to
hire some high-priced help. For
a considerable time, perhaps, in
creased revenues would not meet
increased expenses. Reserve cap
ital is imperative, therefore, be-
fore the great family paper is
changed from a semi-monthly to a
weekly.
If, therefore, our friends and
subscribers wish to cooperate in
raising a grand list Of 1000 paid
up yearly subscriptions, we will
agree to make the Rip-saw a
weekly publication. j..
One person may be able to do
nothing but to pay up a subscrip-
ton for year or even only six
months. Another may be able to
induce friends and neighbors to
the extent Of five, ten or even
twenty-five subscriptions. Still
others, by team work, might line
up 100.
Some man of means, believing
in the Rip-saw, rather than to So
licit his friends, might feel more
like paying for ten, twenty or
even fifty subscriptions and send
ing them to friends and those
whom he may think the paper
would interest.
One man informs the Rip-saw
office that he, alone, will be re-
sponsible for. securing 100 paid
subscriptions. What can you do,
dear reader, or what do you feel
like attempting to do? Are you
deeply enough interested to CO.
operate in an undertaking as out
lined?
Let us know by letter or per-
sonal call how you feel and what
you think you can do. What we
# decide must depend on the ex-
pressions and assurances that we
receive. Do not delay. Time flies.
We wish to decide one way or
another before our second ami
versary, which falls on March 10,
next -. ~. ,,:...-~--.-...-

FARM BUREAU NOTES
BY w. T.. Eckard

Beginning April 22nd, until further
notice, the Farm Bureau office hours
will be 500 A. M. to 1900 noon and
100 p. M. until 500 p M. all week
days, except holidays.
| During the past few months, not
few called at the Office or called the
Office by phone, and found no one
there. This has been unavoidable be-
cause of the impossibility of securing
help in the Office.
Beginning April end, Miss Nilva
Burger of Bangor will be located IN
the Farm Bureau office and we hope
not to disappoint any one who cares
to call at the office or call same by
phone.
The Farm Bureau Motto.
The Van Buren, County Farm
Bureau motto is short-much shorter
than can statement regarding the
same we'll be.
1t is SERVICE. The whole aim
and idea of the Farm Bureau is ser
vice to the farmers of the county first
then the same to all other classes OF
people in the county as far as time
will permit
serve the farmers and people of the
county? The answer to this quest
ion is problem.
There are but seventeen days OF
the County Agricultural Agents time
each year for each township in the
county. 1t is estimated that We have
in the county about $500 farmers.
Figuring 10 hours per day (the agent
averages nearer IA hours) here will
be, after deducting Sundays and hOli-
days. about forty minutes, which can
be spent each year with each farmer
in the county, and this does not allow
for any time to be spent in driving
to these farmers. 1t is plain to see
from the above, that the work can
never be made general, as long as it
is on the personal basis. In this
county the work was started on per
sonal basis. 1t perhaps had to be
started that way, but it can't be con-
inued on that basis.
The farm bureau idea is to be of
service to not few farmers in the
county by doing personal work with
them. but to be of service TO every
farmer and naturally then to every
person in the county. This calls for
work with groups or masses of far
mers, rather than with individuals,
and means, if we are going to get
anywhere, each community in the
county must be organized for Farm
! Bureau work.
Every community in the county has
it's agricultural and community prob
lens the solution of which depend
absolutely upon the people of the
community pulling together as one
unit. The problems of one locality
may or may not be the problems of
another but few miles away. The
Farm Bureau wants to help each com
munity to better the conditions of the

FARMING BI LAW.

The Charlotte Observer is not dis
posed to treat seriously the DILL ih
the South Carolina legislature de-
signed to tax cotton acreage. The
Observer says: Such a law might
help South Carolina to maintain heI
reputation for hating a dull time, but
it is doubtful if the desired result
would be accomplished. The far
mer is willing enough to make
promise of cutting down his acreage
and then depending on his neigh
hor to do the cutting down-but il
state were to threaten him with a
fine of $25 for every excess acre he
might cultivate, why, he would just
laugh and go on his way. The army
which the government is proposing
10 maintain would be entirely made
iuate to the situation if called upon
10 run in the farmers for over
crapping' in cotton under any such
law as that South Carolina would
put upon them. Farming cotton ac-
cordng to the law and the statutes
made and provided is an experiment
we might wish on South Carolina.
but rot upon our own state"
The Observer probably is right in
the assertion that the law might not
accomplish the desired result. but its
statement as TO the promises Of the
farmer iH the matter of cutting down
acreage is almost. if not wholly. &
reelection upon large per cent of
the population OF the south The
News has found that the word of the
farmer is as dependable as that OF
any other class Of business men and
sometimes more so. Furthermore,
being law-abiding. the farmer very
naturally would feel il his duty to
respect such law. whether there
really appeared merit or not We do
not uphold. or in any way advocate
the law in question but the Obser-
yer brings a rather serious indict-
ton, II not by plain statement
