RED CROSS PRODUCTION WORK
SUSPENDED FOR TWO MONTHS

Although Red Cross workers
throughout the Northern division
have been asked to. take a vacation
during July and August so far as
knitting and sewing are con ncerned,
Mrs. Mabel A. Hall, director Of pro-
duction, requests tknitters to con-
,tinue their work to some extent
wherever convenient. :ttfsE =, -.
Mrs. Hall suggests that the women
in charge Of knitting. in the separ-
ate organizations make a. canvass of
their workers for the purpose Of Sc
curing pledges during the vacation
months. If the proper enthusiasm is
put into these appeals for individual
pledges, it is quike likely that a
quantity of work can be accomp-
lished in the aggregate.
If everyone Of the 262 chapters in
this division ships only 100 knitted
articles to headquarters, the total
will amount to 25,000. It would
then be possible for these garments
to be shipped abroad in time to
reach the destitute people before
cold weather arrives.
The bureau Of chapter production
is not asking for a report Of knit
ting pledges" 1t is only necessary
to ship the finished garments to the
division September 1. Orders for
yarn for this work will be filled
promptly. -
Those women who have formed the
habit of picking up knitting for
leisure moments are invited to con-
tinue the practice. Knitting for the
Red Cross is to be confined to child
ren's muff1ers, stockings, small
sweaters and women's shawls.

Washington, May 3O.-(United
Press. s.)-Reconstruction movements,
now in full swing in every state,
cover every conceivable angle Of the
problem of getting the nation back
into peace time form, according to a
survey begun soon after the armistice
by the National Council for Defense.
Governors, mayors, state legisla-
lures, churches, boy scouts, cham
bers of commerce, volunteer workers
and civic bodies are cooperating in
plans to insure square deal for de-
mobilized soldiers and get the fac
tories humming again.
No state failed to figure in the sur
vey.
Alaska, too, is helping, by offering
to place 5000 demebilized soldiers
in jobs as teachers, clerks and watch
men.
A great mass of information that
fills yards of filing cabinets piled cell
ing high has been collected by the
defense council describing the state
projects. Collected and edited for
early publication, the information for
some states fills hundreds of pages.

For this work the Colorado legis-
lature appropriated $725,000, to be
spread over a period of 20 years. The
money will be administered by a
board which was given $4,000 to
spend in assisting soldiers to take ad-
vantage Of the ,effer during the first
two years. Similar appropriations
now being considered by legislatures
of other states.
An appropriation of s5,000,0O0 is
provided for loans to demobilized SOL
diers in a bill introduced into the
Iowa legislature. Under the bill no
soldier can borrow more than $4,000
and especial provision was made to
encourage married soldiers to take
advantage Of the offer. Reasonable

AUTOMOBILE DEMAND ...
FAR EXCEEDS SUPPLY !
BEM!DN DEALERS FIND
Only 926, 1928 Passenger Cars
Turned Out Last Year to Care
For 100000 Customers:

An unprecedented condition sur
rounds the automobile industry ir
Bemidji and the whole country, ac-
cording to dealers here. Just what
had been expected has come about
and the demand for cars is far in ex-
cess of the deliveries made by the
manufacturers to the dealers, they
say.
The demand for cars and trucks is
we'll illustrated by the fact that used
cars are selling more readily and are
bringing better prices than evef be-
fore.
The present large demand for mot
or cars of all kinds is accounted for
by the general shortage in the nation
due to many automobile factories
having been turned to war work that
prevented the production of the usual
number of commercial cars.
There is said to be shortage at
the present time of 100000 cars. Nor
mally the automobile output increas-
es 40 per cent a year In 1915 and
of SO and 80 per cent. respectively,
but in 1917 the increase dropped to
II per cent.
Last year only s2e,32s passenger
cars were made, while the normal de-
mand was 100000.
However, the motor car industry is
rapidly getting back to the point
where it will meet the demand for
cars. The industry probably will
make its turnover from war condi-
tions to peace conditions much quick
er than will the other industries, it
is stated.
AS far as the labor situation is con-
cerned, the automobile industry is
well provided for. Practically all the
104,00C skilled motor car workmen
who v ere in the army and navy are
return ng TO their old trades and a
large number of other soldiers are
eager to qct in the business following
their experience with automobiles
and trU Ks dur ng the war.

BURNING Of OLD SHACK
ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD

Last night at about 10;i0 o'clock
the citizens we're aroused by the
frantic blowing of a locomotive
whistle at the Southern Pacific
roundhouse, and a moment later by
the ringing OF the fire bell. The
city, so quiet and peaceful. came in
stantly to life and a great crowd,
some fully dressed. some half dressed
and others not nearly so we'll at
tired, rushed to the blaze.
The fire happened to be confined
to an old shack on boundary street,
but the alarm was not turned in i'm
mediately after the blaze started,
and the roof had fallen and the
place was a mass OF Flames when the
fire trucks reached the scene. The
firemen quickly quenched the burn
ing embers and kept the fire from
spreading.
