RED CROSS RELIEF
IN EUROPE

But for timely assistance Of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, a large proportion Of the 10000
GOO population Of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth Of food, clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning of Red Cross re-
lief operations In Central Europe,
while millions Of dollars worth Of food
alone has been sent to the needy In
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross In this stricken portion Of Eu-
o . has been used TO set up hospitals,
orphanages. dispensaries, mobile medi-
cal units and to help in the general re-
construction Of devastated areas. Amer
iican tractors and other farming impIe-
ments have been sent to the agricui-
tural regions where aid has been CIV

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
F|ourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and Its department
Of nursing is daily increasing this en-
rollment.
The department of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. 1t will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which 1t has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t will assist In establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands of women who
have never received any education in
his direction. Rural nursing which
was In it's infancy a short while ago
has been put ahead at least a decade
through the work Of the department
Of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex-
tended to many rural communities and
now 1ourishes actively in hundreds of
small towns and counties. Nearly a
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind of work.
The department of nursing is unit
ing with other organizations in a years
campaign in recruiting nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen.
eral public as to standards of nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools OF
nursing. 1t will endeavor to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrolment Of dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors in home dietet-
les, in developing nutritional clinics,
and in supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
l. The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity Of securing instruction in
home hygiene and care of the sick in
every community in the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun-
dation for public health but in some
places has given impetus to the estab-
lishfnent Of hospitals and community
school houses.
"As a community profits by the work
of the nurse" says Miss Clara D.
Noyes, director Of the department OF
nursing, ut is logical that the COM
munity should be aroused to it's respon-
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in a general cam
paign of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
of the medical profession as well as
the intelligent cooperation of the
people at large"

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO Give RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
ice Is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation is found to be one Of the
biggest needs in rural life. There Is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the. guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS a result Of community O%rganiZa-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose Of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started AS a result
Of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools Of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restroOms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreat1Onal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs of
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

JUNIOR RED CROSS
ACTIVE IN EUROPE

Garden seeds for Polish orphans,
milk for anaemic Greek babies, car
penters' tools for Czecho-Slovakian
cripples-these are only a few of the
gifts that young Americans are send
ing to the war-crushed children of the
Old World.
Through the Junior Red Cross the
boys and girls of the United States
are giving a fresh start in life to little
wal orphans scattered all over Europe.
They have set up orphans homes in
France. school colonies in Belgium and
Montenegro, and day schools in Al
bania.
They are sending dozens of young
Syrians, M~ontenegrins, and AIbanians
to American colleges in Constantinople
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
a hundred orphans Of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools. In Or
phanages and farm schools up and
down the peninsula of Italy there are
nearly 500 wards of American Juniors.
Last winter a thousand French chill
dren from the inadequate shelters of
the devasted regions were sent by the
Junior Red Cross to spend the cold
months in warmer parts of France.
At the same time five thousand little
Belgians were having a hot lunch every
day at Junior Red Cross school can
teens.
American school children have a.
ready raised something like a million
dollars for these enterprises, and they
are still hard at work.
In China, through campaigns Of ed
ucation, the Junior Req Cross Is help
ing to combat widely prevalent blind
ness and cholera.

SERVICE O
in NEED

Do you know what the present day
Home Service of the American Red
Cross ISL
Many people do not know that, be-
sides completing the work for ex-serv-
ice men, especially the disabled, 1t pro-
vides the same %neighborly service to
families in general that it formerly
gave families of soldiers. sailors and
marines.
"Home Service overs a wide and
varied field" says Frederick Q. Num-
roe, general manager of the American
Red Cross. 1T gives aid to families
in solving such problems as budget
planning, marketing, tiding over times
Of financial stress, keeping children in
school, helping crippled children, wild
owed and deserted mothers, children
backward in school and children in
conflict with the laws. It renders serv.
ice to the homeless and transient, to
the illiterate, to tenement dwellers, to
the unemployed, and gives friendly as
sistance and advice to foreign speak
ing groups" b.. p.
In addition to helping families In
the solution of their own problems,

when they seek to have the public be-
lieve that Mr.. Townley, Mr.. Lemke
and Mr.. Wood are absolute bosses of
the League; gor able as these three
men undoubtedly are, the Nonpartisan
League will live if they and every last
one Of it's leaders were to die tomor-
row; this is true because the League
is the o%utgrowth Of unjust economic
conditions. and it will continue to live
until it has remedied those conditions.
Farmers Did Not Start Fight
Again, the I. v. A. bowls that "the
Farmers started the fight IN the Bust
ness Men,, btu history shows the d.
rect. opposite is true. It was the Bust
ness Men, who, allowing themselves
to be melted to attacks on the Farm
ers, started the "Class Fight" the I.
V. A. Press and speakers now pretend
to deplore. =.
This is not said merely to be nasty
but to call attention Of business men
and others to historic facts. These
facts will show that tho the I. V. A.
candidates are now talking Co-opera-
ton might and day, it was the Farm
ers Equity delegates who were thrown
out. Of halls in Fargo and New Rock
ford and all but mobbed by the Bust
ness Men of those cities several years
before the League was born. Hence,
for 1. V. A. Business Mn to now make
the charge that the Faremrs started
waging a class war; is something on
the order of the old, old story of the
wolf charging the lamb standing down
stream from him with "muddying his
drinking water" don't you think?
In candidate O. Connor's immortal
words, Gentlemen be fair"' .
Some of your Business Men today
must feel rather sheepish when you
look back on what was done to the
Farmers delegates then and now see
the great success of the Society of
Equity, which is paying 8 per cent
dividends; has it's own grain and live
stock exchanges and its own packing
plants in Fargo and other cities, and
is doing more and better work for the
Farmers and the people of North Da-
kota generally every hour it lives.
1T IS THE SAME INTERESTS
that then so violently opposed the So
ciety of Equity, and who then succeed
ed so we'll in fooling the Business
Men-it is THOSE SAME INTER-
ESTS-who are today again fooling
the Business Men to pull THEIR
chestnuts out of the fire by making
equally as bitter a fight on the Non
partisan League and the Farmers In
dustrial Program.
What Is "CO-OperatiOn"
Mr.. O'Connor, especially, and other
I. V. A candidates are today harping
strong on "Co-operation' in their
campaigning rallies, but they positive
ly object to the League Program
which is nothing more Or less than an
earnest effort to build a seral coop
erative North Dakota.

been working out in the open, and 9TH
er Railroad laws; the laws for the
building Of State Owned Flour Mills
and Elevators, and last but not least
the Rate laws and the fight that the
League Administration has made and
is making to prevent the Railroads
from being granted a IS per cent in
crease Of freight rates and a 20 per
cent increase Of passenger fares on
the already co~nfiscatory rates they
are charging shippers in North Da-
kota. .
Under these laws, and thru the in
dustries and institutions created by
the League and in operation, the peo-
pie Of North Dakota have been saved
NOT LESS THAN TWENTY MIL
LION DOLLARS, according to the es-
innate of DR.. E. F. Ladd, whose COM
potency as a statistician is recognized
thruout the Nation.
Buying Power of Farmers
If any of you Business men are un-
der the impression that your interests
lie with the Grain Gamblers instead
of with the Farmers, we ask you to
consider this simple FACT: Say there
are one thousand League Farmers in
your county; they will spend not less
than 100000 to $5000.OO each year in
their home towns. Hence, n thous-
and farmers spending only 100000
a piece means Two Million Dollars
buying power. Therefore, if the farm
ers are able to retain for themselves
that part of their product which now
goes as graft to the Grain Gamblers,
it can easily be seen that there will
be a tremendous increase in their buy
ing power. \
No business man with any common
sense will object to this purchasing
power staying in his home town and,
if he wants it, it is up to himsto CO.
operate with the Farmers IN MAX
ING THIS SAVING.
You merchants will notice that the
Fargo Forum and other papers of the
I. V. A. never mention this point when
they are trying to incite you, the mer-
chants, to war on the League farmers,
and for the very good and sufficient
reason that they cannot afford to start
YOU thinking. They want to play on
your prejudices by bowling "Bolshe-
vism!" But bowling "Bolshevism" and
Free Love buffers no parsnips and
builds, no homes.
League Farmers Movement
The Nonpartisan League is a move
ment of the Farmers of North Dakota
and other states, not only to better
their own economic condition, but to
make an attempt to ~peaceably solve,
if possible, the serious economic prob
lens that now confront the State and
Nation.
The League is NOT in the hands of
any one man as the I. V. A. politicians
seek to make people believe, but Alb
solutely in the hands of the Farmers,
since the Farmers elect all their To-
cal county delegates and delegates to
the State conventions thru which the
Nonpartisan League is managed.
Hence, it is seen that the I. " A. pol

WHAT WILL BECOME OF HIGH
PRICED STOCKS WHEN PROD
UCTS ARE SOLD BELOW COST
Mr.. Buinessman:

Mr.. Buinessman:
Do you want to see the price of
WHEAT and other FARM PROD
UCTS smashed below the cost of pro-
duction? Do you want to see WAGES
and SALARIES, fall to and below the
cost of mere existence? If SO, just
what will become of HIGH PRICED
GOODS on your SHELVES?
It is a foregone conclusion that no
thinking Farmer or Workingman, and
there are many such in North Dakota,
is laundering for a return of the ter
rible conditions of 1893-1896, but the
I. V. A. politicians and press to
believe that YOU the buinessmen,
would rather see the STATE, the MA
TION and the WORLD RUINED
than stand for any chance whatsoev-
er in an economic system that has
BROKEN DOWN.
But you know that SOMETHING
will have to be done, and DONE SOON
if this country is to escape the titanic
disasters that have already over
whelmed, so many ono mighty ma
tions of the Old World. Nine men out
of ten one meets will admit this, re-
CARELESS of their trade or profession.
Then if SOMETHING must be done,
and YOU KNOW IT MUST, why do
you businessmen allow the I. v. A.
politicians, who are offering no So
lutionwhatsoever, who are ABSO-
LUTELY WITHOUT A PROGRAM
OF RECONSTRUCTION, to work on
your PREJUDICES?
Is there anything in the INDUS
TRIAL PROGRAM of the Farmer-La-
Dor Movement that would ruin you?
Where would you MERCHANTS,
especially, be hurt if the eastern PLU-
TOCRATS are compelled to cease
GRATING on North Dakota AGRI-
CULTURE and INDUSTRY and the
wealth they are taking out of the
State is left IN THE STATE to be
used by our OWN PEOPLE for their
OWN WELFARE?
Would it not be we'll for you MER-

few FACTS before you again follow

WHY A ROLL CALL-NOW

Because the American Red Cross
is working aggressively for the con-
troll of disease, for the upbuilding of
the nations health, and to meet the
physical needs disclosed by unfitness
of more than one half of the youth of
our country for military service
Because it preserves the fine spirit
of national service called into being
by our participation in the war;.
Because, through the Junior Red
Cross, it develops among u children
that spirit of idealism and inter-
national friendship which is essential
to the future peace Of the world.
Because it provides a preparedness
against disaster-local or information
al--snd, with it's experience and IA
c%ilities, stands in readiness to succor
victims Of such calamities.
Because it carries to those, who
through misfortune are unable to care
for themselves and families, the help
that is needed to tide them through
their difficulties.
Because the American Red Cross
is an expression Of American citizen
ship.
because it %conserves the morale and
family interests Of those men who
serve in u peace-time military and
naval forces. -,
Because in a word, it stands for all
that IS best in American life, and is
a tie that binds you to America
and with Americans everywhere for
| service. tt.
