A TRTNK ETA MEMORY.

There is a nurse in the A. E. F.
who always wears. a coral necklace,
lust a short strand of small, round,
pink beads, encircling her throat. She
calls it her "croix de guerre."
1t was at the height of the big drive
in the middle Of last summer, just
before Chateau-Thierry, when the ref
ugees were pouring out of eastern
France. Among them Vas a mother,
Just a young girl with big dark eyes,
and her sick baby, that whimpered
and walled constantly. They remain
ed at the hospital for some time, un-
til smiles supplanted the tears on the
baby's face and the warm glow OF
health returned to the little pale
cheeks. The mother was all graft
tude. On the day they left, she
sought out the nurse whose untlrlng
patience and care had been most mark
ed towards them.
"This, ma'mselle," she said, holding
a string of pink beads in her hand.
81 want you to have it; it is the only
thing l have left besides my baby, and
you saved him for me-"

DISEASE LOSSES DECREASED.

Every kind of farm animals had a
mortality from disease during the year
ending in the spring of 1919 below the
average of the preceding ten years,
with here and there a state that did
not conform to this general fact for
the United States. The reporters of
the bureau of crop estimates of the
United States department of agrlcul-
ture, give to horses and mules a loss
from disease amounting to only 1.57
per cent in the preceding year, the
ten-year average being 1.91 per cent;
cattle, 1.73 per cent, compared with
1873 per cent; swine, the low rate OF
Ala per cent, compared with 6.68 per
cent; sheep, 1877 per cent, compared
with 2.39 per cent; and lambs, the low
rate of 4.83 per cent for losses from
disease and exposure, compared with
the eight-year average of SIG per
cent.
On account of exposure, the cattle
losses of the preceding year, 1.58 per
cent, are above the ten-year average
of LAB per cent; but the sheep losses
of 2.51 per cent were below the aver
age of 2.88 per cent,
In number of animals, the farm
horses lost from disease during the
last year were over 415,oo0; cattle
from disease and exposure, nearly q
PAT, 900; swine, from disease, nearly
3,128, 900; sheep, from disease and ex-
posure, nearly 100000. The money
loss due to these mortalities is not re-
ported, but, computed at the average
head value for all animals of each kind,
the aggregate would amount to more
than 5000, OO0,0 00

A. r. C. PRODUCTION WORK
SUSPENDED FOR 8 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 concerned, Mrs. Mabel
A. Hall, director of production, re-
quests knitters to continue their work
to some extent wherever convenient.
Mrs. Hall suggests that the women
in charge of knitting in the separate
organizations make a canvass of their
workers for the purpose Of securing
pledges during the vacation months.
If the proper enthusiasm is put into
these appeals for individual pledges,
it is quite likely that a quantity Of
work can be accomplished in the ag-
gregate.
If everyone of the 1852 chapters in
this division ships only 100 knitted
articles to headquarters, the total will
amount to $4,000. 1t would then be
possible for these garments to be ship

GREAT WHEAT CROP is
FORECAST OF EXPERT

The B. w. Snow crop report puts
condition winter wheat June ] at 96.1,
the highest figure at this date since
1891, and indicating a total crop of
900, $1,000 bushels. Acreage spring
wheat, 22,s5S,O0O acres, or a fraction
larger than last year.
Condition 95.5, the highest since
1914 and indicating a possible produc-
ton of 345, 900 900 bushels. The total
wheat crop indication of 225,000, 900
bushels has v before been equal
led.
The acreage of oats is 3 per cent
less than the area harvested last year,
standing at 43, 214,000 acres. The con-
dition is the highest reported at this
date since 1909, standing at 93.4, and
indicating a total crop possibility of
1,46O,OO0 bushels against a crop of
1,53s,O00 bushels last year.
Ohio and Michigan at 80 and 81,
and Montana and California at "a, are
the only states of consequence show
ing a condition below 80.
The acreage of rye shows an in
crease of one per cent, totalling s.
45O, 900 acres, with a condition of 95.l
and a crop indication of 100000
bushels against $4,000, 900 harvested
last year.
Barley acreage approximately 5 per
cent less than last year or 1861 900
acres with a condition of 91.3 and a
crop indication of 225, 900 900 bushels
against 25G,0oO,00O harvested last
year.
Condition of hay 94.4, a figure above
the average for a series of years and
indicating a total crop of S4,OOO,OO0
tons of tame hay against 75,O0O,OO0
tons last year.
Corn planting has been delayed by
too much moisture and the acreage
is apparently somewhat smaller than
that of last year. The first reports of
plant condition are likely to be below
normal because of lateness, but soil
and moisture conditions are highly ia
vorable.

RED CROSS CALLS HALT
ON USE OF IT'S MA

The northern division Red Cross or
ganization has called a halt on the
commission use of the Red Cross name
by irresponsible and, in some cases,
dishonest persons.
A letter from Clifford C. Held, di-
vision manager, to all chapter chair
men, has been issued as follows:
Gas a result of the widespread
popularity Of the Red Cross name and
our organization, it has come to our
attention that a great number Of
schemes are on foot to use the Red
Cross name or emblem in connection
with. commercial enterprises. These
enterprises are of varied forms, such
as the selling of trinkets and war pic
lures by discharged and wounded SOL
diers with the statement that a por-
ton of the profits of the sale will be
donated to the Red Cross.
81 have been approached here by
solicitors for the sale of albums with
pictures of discharged men contained
therein, asking that I make a state
ment approving this for the Red Cross.
1 have consistently refused to do so.
"Sales of certificates to the fami-
lies of men in the service, represent
ing by such purchase that the family
can obtain speedy discharge of their
soldiers and advising that the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the certificates
inure to the benefit of u organiza-
ton, is another scheme. Other So
licitors of foreign birth have been
collecting funds among our foreign
population by exhibiting letters of Gre
dentials represented as coming from
the Red Cross officials and stating
that the funds collected were distrib-
ated by the Red Cross.
GAIL of the above may we'll be con-
5ilered violative of the Red Gross
charter, which prohibits the use of
Red Cross name or emblem for COM
mercial purposes. In many instances
the schemes themselves are fraudu-
lent. They are all engaged in with
cut the consent of national or divi'
sion headquarters. 1t seems advisa'
BILE, therefore to call your attention
to the fact that the Red Cross name
or emblem must in no case be used fol-
commercial purposes with the one
class of exception, namely, where the
use was l%egitimately made by concerns

"Many and various claims arising
out of the war are reaching the de

MARQUIS WHEAT LEADS.

The Marquis variety of wheat has
gained on other varieties Of spring
wheat, year by year, until in 1918
it was more than one-half of the
spring wheat crop. AS estimated by
the bureau of crop estimates of the
United States of America, the Mar
ouis variety was 9 per cent of the
spring wheat crop in Minnesota, At
per cent in North Dakota, So per cent
in South Dakota, and al per cent in
Montana.
Durum wheat, in demand for reg
ions of low rainfall and with a spe-
cial market as a material for such
nroducts as macaroni, was secnd in
popularity in 1918 in North Dakota,
South Dakota and Montana, where it
produced 30, 20 and Is per cent re-
spectively, of the total spring wheat
crop. This variety of wheat has the
advantage of large productivity per
acre.. a quality possessed almost in
equal degree with the Marquis vari-
ETY..
The Velvet Chaff variety had sec
ond place in Minnesota with % per
cent of the total, third place in North
Dakota with 8 per cent, third in South
Dakota with Il per cent, and fourth
place in Montana with 2 per cent.
Third place was taken by Blue Stem
in Minnesota, and this variety produc-
ed 12 per cent of the spring crop; it
was of small use in North Dakota,
and Montana, as were Fife and other
| varieties.

HINTS ON HOW TO BE YOUR
OWN WEATHER PROPHET

Adam may or may not have tried
his hand at weather prediction, but it
is written that as far back as the time
of Noah, that gentleman prophesied
a long wet spell, and, unlike a lot of
later weather-prophets, he had such
faith in his own representations that
he took measures to meet the situa-
ton. Further than that, subsequent
events proved that Noah was a 100
per cent prophet. Many of his suc-
c%essors, however, showing a lower bat
ting average, it became increasingly
apparent as time went on that in view
