Money from the Third Annual Roll
Call Of the Red Gross Will be
Devoted to Activities Of
This Rranch.
WHAT IT'S AIMS MEAN
Help 10 Extended to Former Soldier,
to His Family and to All Who
Need Assistance Of This
Character.

The activity OF the Red Cross
which reached the families OF the
men In service, was the home serv'
ice section. Every soldier and sailor
when he left his home 70 Tight Tor 1t
wanted his family to feel the same
grit and chearfulness that he felt;
he wanted them to have money
enough for necessities and enough to
meet emergencies; and he wanted
them to have friends. The home
service section tried to supply these
for the families. It was the one
branch Of Red Cross which worked
primarily for the people on this side
Of the trenches.
No one, of course, could I'LL the
place which the husband or the son
left-neither the Red Cross nor tho
other members of the family-hut
home service offered to women the
kind Of counsel and advice whlon
their men would like to obtain for
them, and by helping them out OF
perplexity, by saving them from lone
Illness and frfendlesness, gave to the
men in the trenches or on shipboard
that feeling Of security about the
folks at home which enabled them
to fight with unimpaired morale
When the war was over and our
boys began coming home, the homo
service section pledged their services
for at least one year from discharge
to the returned soldiers. Many had
place in civil life waiting for them,
but many others were incapacitated
for their former positions or had
some difficulties at readjustmen
The home service section endeavored
to get into touch with all men dis
charged on account of dtsability-not
only in town but in the southern half
Of the county. They had authorita-
tive information regarding medical
care and treatment, compensation
and vocational training. They aided
the boys in filing their just claims,
and in pushing these claims when
action was delayed
VIII Continue. Work.
Now that what has been termed
war work" is over shall this depart

first venture on big scale which
has ever been able to bring not
charity but brotherliness and serv-
ice, not to Q part but to q whole
community, be scrapped7 No, the
plan IL to extend the same service to
every one which has been given to
the families of service men. This
Will mean, friendliness and advice

conditions, working conditions, and
child welfare throughout the town
and county.
Tho money which IL secured from
the third annual Red Cross roll call,
November to II, will be used In the
work of this section or the Red
Cross. Keokuk people who give dol

THE LITTLE OLD SIxTEEN

THE LITTLE OLD SIXTEEN
You talk about the power of dough,
Which makes the mare get up and
go,
But here's the sum that's no so slow;
That Little Old Sixteen.
1t keeps the bankers up at night,
1t throws into the plutes a fright;
Oh! it's bugaboo all right
That Little Old Sixteen.
A farmer may go forth and buy
Three thousand acres of blue sky
And not a banker bats an eye,
For everything's serene.
But holy smoke! the way they shout
Like geezers with a gout,
And raise the roof a foot about
That Little Old Sixteen
l once did know farmer lad
Who was some thousands to the bad;
The plutes had taken all he had
And left him slick and clean.
And when the lad went more in debt
And joined the farmers on bet,
They howled because they didn't get
That Little Old Sixteen.
They let him buy a hobby Ford;
AASy lCt Hill pay 1OI IOOil anu UOd1u u,
CAD, they even let him hoard
That Little Old Sixteen.
It makes the bankers fume and swear,
The politicians tear their hair,
The trusts rise up and paw the air
That Little Old Sixteen.
But neighbor-on the other hand
1t backs the farmer in his stand
So he may own the blooming land
That Little Old Sixteen.

SHERIDAN COUNTY
WILL EXHIBIT AT
STATE FAIR

On Tuesday the Board of County
Commissioners made the annual ap-
preparation for the State Fair Ex-
hibit at Helena, Montana, and l.. 5.
Olsen will have charge OF the work
as usual.
For a long time the County Com
missioners did not feel that it would
be advisable for this County to have
an exhibit this year owing to the
drouth conditions, but inasmuch as
all the other dry farming counties
in the west and south of US have al
ready made their appropriations, and
from the further fact that Sheridan
county has suffered considerably less
from drouth than the rest of the
State, they feel that it will be only
right and proper to make this exhibit
and thus advertise to the world that
our county is still holding a winning
hand amongst the dry farming COM
munities of the west,
The farmers are entitled to this
chance to prove that We cap and are
still raising crops in Sheridan Coun-
ty, and it is q foregone conclusion
that with Mr.. Olsen at the head OF
this work it will be done right, as IN
the past four years he has adver-
tised this county so thoroughly that
his booth receives more than its
share of visitors, and with conditions
as they are throughout the State this
year, the Sheridan County booth will
be the most widely advertised at the
State Fair.
Mr.. Olsen will have as his assist
ant Miss Ruth Kjelstrup Of Plenty
wood, who has assisted him for three
wears in this work and she is an ex-
pert at preparing grains for exhibit
ton work.
Now, it's up to all you farmers
who have good grains, grasses, vege-
tables or root crops to let Mr.. Olsen
know so that he can gather some
of YOUR choicest for exhibition. AL
ready a great many farmers are
telling Mr.. Olsen of certain local.,
ties where he can get such exhibits
and he intends to visit all these
places, so if you have anything
good, be sure and let him know. Ii
a short time he will have the State
Fair premiums lists at his Office ane
YOU should not fail to call at the of
fee and obtain a copy of same. L
you contemplate visiting this grea
educational exposition and fair, yoI
should let him know and he will ar
| range for accommodations for you
while you are in Helena, as it is al
WAYS crowded there at that time ant
hard to obtain rooms.
