Red Cross Nurses tt
Cooperate With the
Health Department

The American Red Cross, through
its department OF nursing, has en-
tered into an arrangement with the
United States public health service
whereby graduate enrolled Red
Cross nurses are supplied to the
army and the navy.
As it is expected the number of
patients to be cared for in hospitals
of the public health service will be
increased from about $4,000 a year
to fully $4,000, Surgeon General Ru-
pert Blue turned to the Red Cross
as a source for a greatly enlarged
public health nurse corps. There
are now approximately 90 nurses
employed in this service, but
through the Red Cross it is planned
to develop the corps in the near flu
ture to at least ESQ.
On recommendation of the depart
ment of nursing of the Red Cross
Surgeon General Blue has appointed
Miss Luch Minnegerode of Fairfax,
Va, superintendent of the United
States public health nurse corps.
Miss Minnegerode's appointment to
this office followed on tour Of in
spection of marine hospitals which
she made for the surgeon general to
canvass the nursing needs. 49,.
Miss Minnegerode is a graduate
of Bellevue Training School for
Nurses of New York. She was Sc
lected to be chief nurse of an Amer
lean Red Cross unit which was sent
to Kief, Russia, in 1915, and gave
distinguished service i'll that Ca
pacity. Following her European
experience she was appointed super
intendent of nurses of Columbia
hospital, Washington, D. c. When
the United States entered the war
Miss Minnegerodc was called by the
Red Cross to take charge of the
preparation of Red Cross nurses for
assignment overseas.

Her Attitude

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I would like to see the answer to this
in The Omaha Bee. l am a young
man of 26, considered sensible, and
I have known a young lady for two
years and became engaged to
her six months ago. I am just start
ing in business and am some in debt
yet. Would it be right to marry
her, or should I wait till I get out
of debt? Very respectfully yours,
A THOUGHTFUL READER.
1t depends entirely on the attitude
of tho young lady. Be honest with
her, and If she loves you enough to
help pull through the crisis. marry
her. II not, wait until you are free
from debt. But If she does help
you pull through. when you have
enough money be generous. Don't
show your appreciation Of her eff
forts by asking her to wear her last
years hats and old shoes. A stingy
man is awful!

women are using chemicals, dyes
and all sorts of things to make their

from your druggist and use it ac-
cording to directions. Irregular
features are attractive If there is per-

spectators and who are reaping all
the Improvements made by actual
farmers, in the way of advancing the
price of their land to that Of improved
land, yet these spectators contri-
butte very little towards making the

the sentiments Of at least 95 per
cent of the farmers, though I do not
extend that single-tax idea to other
classes Of property, and leave it to
the voters of cities to say whether
they desire to apply this principle
TO real estate in cities.
But the real estate plan now be-
fore the legislature-Known as the
Roylance plan-has for its object
quite a different effect in this viz:
The Roylance plan is to drive all idle
aand into cultivation. In short not
only to invite competition but to drive
competition into production of wheat
etc, against the farmers. It is not
merely the plan of tearing down the
tariff wall, but tearing down the wall

tition in our markets.
Suppose that the reciprocity propo.
sition Of 1911 had provided that the
"United States government would
pay ten cents per bushel for all the
wheat brought from Canada and
marketed in the United States in adj
dition to the amount received in the
public markets here" that would have
been an exact equivalent to the Royt
lance plan.
Recall a few inconsistencies. In Sep
TENDER 1917, there was called to-
gether and held in St. Paul, a meet
ing to kick against the government
regulated price of whdat and for the
competitive supply and demand regu-
lated price, because the latter was
higher than the former, and still
those same kickers are now contend
ing for government regulated price
Not only this but every one Of the
state ownership writer's, when discus
sing marginal differences, accept the
competitive made price as the correct
basis.
We find that when we have bum
per crop and labor is scarce that we
have pay higher price for la
Dor, because of the short supply of la
Dor and larger demand for workmen;
we find ourselves having our rela-
tives and friends by bidding at our
auction sales so as to supply the COM
petition; we find ourselves expect
ing a higher price for eggs in the
winter time and even supplying the
argument that the hens are on a

strike causing decreased supply;
right now in this part Of the state
there is a large number of farmers
who have horses for sale and the
cause the demand is less than the
supply; we all know that during a
panic everything - horses, cattle,
hogs, machinery, land, labor, etc-is
very low in price, many times you
cannot give them away, and all be-
cause there is no demand. We find
ourselves expecting higher price for
feed, hay, potatoes, vegetables, labor,
etc, when the supply is short, and
vice versa whenever we have an
over supply.
Now shall we over look these every
day examples, cut off our nose to
spite our face by plunging ourselves
into a scheme which may over sup
ply the demand with farm products ?
The first lessons we learn from CO.
operation is that large SURPRISES are
economic wastes, and detriment to
the producers of such products. This
Roylance scheme of taxation Is at
tempting to do things bhnd-folded.
Should farmers have the benefit OF
protection against speculation in idle
farm land? Certainly they should.
The U. S. government discriminates
against spectators and in favor OF
actual farmers in extending the home
stead privileges, and so should we
do likewise in the state. Whenever
there are foreclosures and sales OF
farm land for the benefit of credi-
tors, actual farmers should have pref
erance right in the acceptance Of bids.
Whenever school land is sold give ac-
tual farmers perferance right in the
sale of tillable land.
The bankers took a preference right
in matters pertaining to banking in
1914 (See rules Of state banking
board), and am not disputing the
point, but claiming a similar right for
farmers.
If the legislature desires to make
a real constructive effort towards re-
lieving the farmers Of the present un-
Just market system they should pass
the following resolutions viz:
WHEREAS the institution of gov
eminent is for the primary purpose
of protecting the weak against the
strong, and
WHEREAS Inc NaCktClnS system
now in vogue is not based upon the
principles of supply and demand, but
upon the rule derived from the gam
blers' den, and
WHEREAS Farmers do not con-
troll the selling prices Of their pro-
ducts, hence the axiom of fairness.
viz: Cost Of production, expense Of
handling, and reasonable profit
such elements as used by all other
business concerns-are never consid-
cred in fixing the prices Of farmers
products, hence farmers are at the
mercy of the other fellows,
THEREFORE, Be it resolved by the
Sixteenth Legislative Assembly Of the
State of North Dakota, that we herein
petition the coming congress which
convenes March 4, Of this year, to so
amend the federal farm loan act that
its provisions may be extended to
farmers cooperative associations,
such as flour mills, elevator stor-
age, packing houses, warehouses,

Des Laos Soldier Back From Aviation
Fields

J. P. OLeary Of Des Laos, has re-
turned from ten months service with
the aviation division at Kelly Field,
Tex, and Gerstner Field, la. Although
Mr.. OLeary was considerably above
the draft age, he could not resist our
country's call TO arms, so enlisted.
Mrs. O'Leary nobly gave her consent.
Mr.. O'Leary was in the repair depart
ment of the service and has acquired
q thorough knowledge Of the construc-
ton Of airplanes. The timbers for the
planes must be perfect, all pieces with
cross grain being thrown out. He says
that an airplane fell on the average
of once day, but the aviator was
cot always killed. He saw two ma
chimes collide at height of 5000 feet
and fall. They went through the
roof of the hanger and landed on the
concrete floor. All four aviators
jumped up and wanted to know when
they should report for their next
flight.

Be it further resolved that we ask
the farmers throughout the United
States to petition the congress at once
on this subject, and further that we
ask all farmers organizations and
farm journals to aid in securing the
signers to the petition, and
Be it further resolved that the Sec
rotary of state be required to send a
copy of these resolutions to all the
legislatures of agricultural states,
now in session, and also a copy to
the congress through the agricultural
department at Washington, D. C.
The difference between this coop
erative plan, and the state ownership
plan, is viz: Expense-In the first
place it would be negligible while in
the second they have spent over 3d.
100000 according to it's champions
with nothing accomplished. Profits
The state ownership plan is to earn
profits for the state, while the CO /.
operative plan is to give all the prof
its, including such as may be de-
rived from storing, milling, etc, to
the farmers themselves. Politics
The state ownership plan requires a
strong political machine capable of
arousing oil the predjuices ENVY, and
bitter feelings in mans makeup, while
the cooperative plan requires none.
Possible SUGGESTIVE state owner
ship plan is in the dreams of its
champions in one state only, while
with proper support of the above reso-
lutions, the cooperative plan would
be possibility in every state in the
union within six months.
No one can consistently oppose the
cooperative plan, unless he is OPP
posed to the benefits now received by
farmers on their real estate loans.
Yours for the betterment of all,
