RED CROSS URGES LOAN CLOSET

A movement for the establishment
of a "loan closet" in every chapter in
the division is being organized by
Mrs. F. L. Fridley, assistant manager
for the northern division of the Red
Cross, in preparation for the disasters
and emergencies which the winter is
likely to bring forth.
Since the Red Cross has come to
be known as an emergency and dis
aster organization" Mrs. Fridley said
1--WE feel that all it's chapters should
be prepared to cope with such condi-
tions. One Of the most effective agen-
cies for this purpose is the loan
closet"
Typical equipment of the closet COM
prises bed linen, bed gowns, bath and
hand towels, blankets, bandages, sur
gical dressings, and particularly lay
cites. It's purpose is to provide nee
essary supplies for use in cases Of ac-
cidents, of widespread disaster, and of
emergencies. 1t would be of especial
value when a community is stricken
with an epidemic, as was shown at the
time Of the Influenza epidemic, for it
keeps constantly on hand articles
which could not be readily obtained,
and these articles may be loaned to
any family who needs them.
Loan closets are now commonly
maintained in the larger cities, and in
some counties which are provided with
public health nurse. Mrs. Fridley
urges, however, that they should be
more generally established; and she
cites the method which the Clark coun-
ty, South Dakota, chapter has used as
a practical way to organize the closet.
In this county, Mrs. McGaan, chairman

INSPIRING CONVENTION

The people of Volga proved them
selves to be gracious hosts to the an
nual convention of the Brookings
County Sunday School association
which was held in that city last Sat
urday afternoon and Sunday. The con-
vention was generally conceded to be
one OF the most successful and inspir-
ing, both in point of attendance and
interest, which has ever been held in
the county The weather and roads
were ideal, making it possible for peo-
pie from every point in the county to
attend the sessions. Nearly every
school was represented and the pro
gram was carried out almost precisely
as previously published
General Secretary George w. Miller
Of Huron, and Mrs. A. L. Grebel CT
Parker two prominent state Sunday
school workers, were present and their
talks and instruction added greatly to
the interest of the program The ah-

Of the home service section, requested
and obtained old clothes, particularly
babies garments, which were still in
good coalition, as we'll as bed linen
and tow els; and with these and other
supplies which are brought to her
from time to time, she started the
closet and keeps it constantly replen-
ished. All articles are carefully
washed and sometimes mended, before
they are placed on the shelves, so
that they are ready for immediate use.
The loan closet may be installed in
the Red Cross room, if one is main
tained, in the nurses office, in counties
where one is employed; in commu-
nifty rest room; or in any similar place
which is easy OF access.

GREETED, and the association extended
sympathy to him and Ills family in
their bereavement. The executive
committee greatly appreciated the de-
lightful response of the pastors from
over the county who were asked to
take part in the program.
A demonstration worthy of special
mention was given by Mrs. Walradth's s
class of the White Methodist church
in which the class demonstrated be-
fore the convention the initiation Of
new members into the class. 1t was
beautiful, impressive service ana
undoubtedly will prove beneficial to
teachers of organized young peoples
classes.
Mrs. A. N. Porter of Brookings, spoke
on the temperance question and her
message was especially timely and
greatly enjoyed Mrs. A. T. Horton of
Volga, who had entire charge of music
throughout the sessions proved hel
usual ability in preparing splendid mu-
sic for every session. The reception
and entertainment committees We're
tireless in their efforts to take care
of all delegates and visitors, and great
praise is due all these people, together
with the president, George o. Cotton
and the local Sabbath school superin-
tendent, c. c. Dybdall The splendid
response to the finances makes it pos
sible for Brookings county to raise
it's pledge to $3.50 for the coming year.
The following officers were elected
for the coming year: George o. Cot
ton, Volga, president; James A. Keck,
Brookings, vice-president; Mrs. E. f..

ultimate intentions. Earl Loreburn
sums up his case with convincing force
when he says:
Secret diplomacy has undergone its
acid test in this country. 1t had
every chance. The voice of party was
silent. The Foreign Minister was an
English gentleman whom the country
trusted and admired, who was wholly
free from personal enmities of every
kind and who wanted peace And Sc
cret diplomacy utterly failed. 1t pre-
ventued us from finding some alterna-
tive for war, and it prevented us from
being prepared for war, because secret
diplomacy means diplomacy aloof from
Parliament
LET us have done with it for good"
In less detail, but with equal clarity
and precision, Earl Loreburn sketches
the political situation on the Continent.
He places the responsibility for the
conflict squarely upon the Central
Powers, although he considers Russia 81
hasty mobilization an i'll advised step.
lie condemns the secret treaties which
England concluded with Italy, Rumania
and other countries during the war.
These treaties, which provided for
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the Central
Powers, increased the fury and will to
resistance of Germany and Austria
without giving the Allies any over
whelming preponderance of military
force. Only the entrance of America
into the war an event which was not
predetermined by any secret diplomacy,
enabled the Allies to win final, de-
cisive victory.
Earl Loreburn suggests, as safe
guards against future wars, peace of
reconciliation as we'll as of Justice;
league of nations, and effective
parliamentary control of foreign policy.
He declares emphatically that "our
whole future as a nation depends on
our obtaining effective control over
foreign as we'll as domestic policy"
