JUNIOR RED
CROSS IN COUNTY
Town of Greenfield Leads in the
Work Being Done by This Or
ganization

Every school in Sank county has
been urgently requested to organize a
junior Red Cross society. 1t was
hoped that Sank would attain the
one hundred per cent mark by Janu-
airy l. This work has been somewhat
delayed because of the epidemic.
Teachers and pupils who have not yet
responded to this request should plan
to organize to do this work.
A little map of Sank county was
made at the county superintendent
Office, Baraboo, showing the number
of one hundred per cent schools, those
organized and working for one hun
dred per cent membership, and those
that have not yet organized. AS yet,
none of the twenty-five towns in the
county are one hundred per cent, that
is, every school reporting one hun
6red per cent membership. The town
of Greenfield is the nearest to this
standard, having only one school
which is not yet one hundred per cent.
The towns of Baraboo and Delton are
also we'll up on the list. Out of the
l61 districts in which schools are in
session, 53 have not organized, while
IS others have organized, but are not
one hundred per cent.

Dear Friends:
We had very pleasant journey of
two nights and one day. We got to
Fort Morgan at 5 in the morning. Our
son Elda and his wife were there to
meet us with their car, and half-hour
spin over smooth, level road brought
us to his place. He has a beautiful
place, 800 acres level as a floor, the
best buildings of any Of the neigh
bors, nice large house. The country
is a. vast prairie; you can see for
miles. We can see the mountains
from here, about a half-day's ride in
an auto. The soil is of sandy nature,
some like Sank Prairie. 1t looks bar
rem, no timber in sight. >Elda lives
on the main road from Fort Morgan
to the coast. Everyone here has
car 1t looks odd to see folks have
a car and live in a shack.
The big crops here are beans, sugar
beets and alfalfa. No clover or tim
.othy-they won't grow here. It's moth
ing to see beet field of 80 acres, or
wheat or rye field Of 100 acres. Elda
had 240 bushels of wheat and about
the same of rye. He got 1925 per
hundred pounds for rye and $225 for
wheat. They raise cane" here, not
to be mean, you know, but for feed in
