THE sale of submarginal lands to
the federal government several
years ago did not have a tendency
to increase the tax burden in Val
ley county, Mr.. Bjorklund stated.
The greater portion of the land
sold was that which had never paid
any tax. This fact is evident when
we see that the county's valuation
has increased from $19,332, 845 to
S20,3 28, 1872 this year."
OF special interest to the tax
payers will be the announcement
that the new low budget figures
include a reserve of $51 1923, which
even though it is included in the
budget, will not be spent. 1t is
intended to build up a reserve for
a year when tax dollars may not
be so plentiful"
Mr.. Bjorklund pointed out that
the general fund is charged with
expenditures of all salaries, record
books and new improvements. Both
the new office building and the
new extension building were built
with money frcm the general fund,
while the new county shop building
has been charged to various funds,
including road, general and bridge.

HUNDRED
WOMEN, need
OF RED CROSS
Call Is Urgent in Meeting Huge
Demands in New Surgical
Dressing Program.
Chairman Urges Work Should
Be Done by Younger Group;
Hours Scheduled.

One hundred Valley county wo-
men must pledge themselves TO
serve four hours a week for 10
months in the making of surgical
dressings if the county meets the
olota demands, said Mrs. j. l..
Biorstad in reporting at a special
meeting of the Valley County Req
Cross chapter executive board, neld
in the Red Gross room in the new
county building Monday night. Mrs.
Biorstad and Mrs. James G. Lund
who was also present, returned Fri
day from Minot where they had
spent two days attending a school
for county chairmen of this work
which they will supervise in Valley
county. The making of surgical
dressings is now a national program
of the Red Cross, demanded by the
war department.
AS soon as the supplies ordered
from national headquarters arrive
the work will begin and announce
ment will be made of the various
hours of work. Each woman who
registers for the work is expected
to sign'up for the entire 16 months.
A record of the work done will be
kept. Table supervisors will be
trained first and they will train
ether workers and check every
dressing made. The table superviS-
ors will probably have to give more
time to the work than the four
hours a week indicated.
Hours Scheduled
Groups will work from l to $50
in the afternoon or from 7 to 10
in the evenings. A worker may put
in her four hours in one session or
in two two-hour sessions.
Every worker must wear a clean
white cotton dress for her work,
have her hair covered and her nails
must be free of nail polish. Army
hospital surgeons have reported
that many dressings made by vol
unteers have had to be discarded
because of flecks of nail polish
found in them, which has made this
rule necessary.
The Importance of the work was
stressed by Mrs. Bjorstad who hopes
that the younger women of the
community will be most active in
assuming this responsibility since
the older women have been doing
more than their share in the other
departments of volunteer services.
IF the young men can go to the
front and perhaps suffer wounds
and die, we should at least be will
ing to help make the necessary
dressings for their wounds" she
laid. Because of her desire to have
he young women lead in this work
Mrs. Bjorstad gave the report again
1t a special meeting of the Junior
Wcman'S club Tuesday night.
