T33-2te: CELEBRATE AND DIG RED CROSS TELLS WHERE DOLLARS GO The end of this year will see more than $70,000,000 spent in France alone by the American Red Cross since the beginning of the war. This is re- vealed in a statement just issued by the Red Cross War Council. Nearly half of all this money---$34,583,827.57 to be exact--- has heen appropriated for the last half of 1918. This was made necessary by the great German attack of last spring which drove so many poor French families from their homes. The items of civilian relief and reconstruction of ruined villages alone have called . for $5557,605.75 and the end is not in sight. The Red Cross is having to face the terrible task of combating tuber- culosis among the women, children The above rules must be carried ~ out so that man power will be re- - leased for war work and transporta- tion not congested. " These rules are the outcome of an agreement between the merchants of the country and the War Indust- ries Board. The Commercial Econo- ~ my Administration of the State - Council of Defense is charged with ~ the duty of carrying them out. The public must help, so begin your ~ Christmas shopping now, and remem- ber the rules. + CELEBRATE AND DIG CONSERVATION CLASSES FOR CHILDREN SATURDAY The Saturday Domestic Science classes for children will be resumed at Central school next Saturday morning. The Conservation depart- men of the State Council of Defense has issued notices to local conserva- tion workers to continue all conser- vation classes in the Village which had been conducted during the war. It is pointed out that conservation of 'foodstuffs is of the utmost import- ance now that the United States will be called upon to feed the peoples of practically all nations engaged in the great world war, \ Sidney Nelson has been made a corporal. : | the French simply went on economiz-| tna els SUBSCRIBE |- ACQUIRING A | HABIT of Coma Probably nothing could humiliate us more than to be forced to admit any superior quality in a race for which we have a profound loathing and con- tempt. And yet it is a fact that the national habit of thrift in Germany is one secret of its prolonged resist- ance to the combined might of the eciv- ilized world. It is quite true that be- fore the war the Germans were gross eaters, but they wasted nothing. The | moment the civilians were ordered to, eat less and save the scraps they drew | | in their belts and did as they were told. | It might be difficult to control the cravings of their distended stomachs | but to scrimp and save involved no | long apprenticeship, cost them practi- | cally no effort whatever. . | 'The same may be said of France. 'While England--as wasteful a nation a8 our own--was issuing repeated and | almost frantic warnings to her people, devising constant new methods to con- | 4 trol their natural extravagance, and at | one time threatened with starvation, | ing 'and never were in .danzer for a memment. I never shall forget my first visit to |. Paris. It was to friends, who lived in| great style, but if I happened to feel hungry during the day or when I went | to bed late, I either had to go hungry | or satisfy my healthy young appetite at a confiserie. There. is never an ex-| {{ tra"roll in a French household. Bx- | act 'rations are bought every morn-| ing for the day... If there are children | in the home, who must be fed between | meals, that is provided for, but noth- | ing whatever for eccentric appetites. | I rebelled vigorously and denounced the French as a mean, stingy, economi- | cal race, my opprobrium extending to | more effectively the Americans who drifted supinely | into the national babit. ...Easy to Follow Hoover's Rules. Little did-I think in those days that thé national habit of thrift and severe economy in France was one of their greatest sources of strength. The na- tional debt of France before the war: was subseribed to almost exclusively by the peasant class and lower bour< geoisie, people who periodically dug into their stockings and bought a new bond. Nothing can exceed the self-de- nial of those classes. It was for this reason that Le Bien-Efre du Blesse, which was formed at the request of the French government to provide del- i¢acies for the wounded soldiers in the hospitals of the war zone, was a pri- vate organization, the funds to be rais- ed by subscription. The men must have the tempting and delicaté foods or die, but if the government had tak- en over the task itself, that would have meant another tax, to be followed im- | mediately by a popular outery. To the average French mind delicacy rhymes with luxury, and it would have been impossible to convince the millions 'drudging at home that wounded men needed what they never had had be- fore, ill or well. When I lived in Munich I had a Swiss maid in whom I had implicit (and justifiable) faith. She would come to me periodically and say, "Madame, je n'ai plus d'argent," and I would hand out several hundred marks. That was all I had to do with the housekeeping during my seven years' residence in Germany. And yet my in- comparable Elsie would never give me anything to eat between meals but zwiebach, which in Germany is as hard as the thrice accursed national heart. I have found it comparatively easy to follow most of the Hoover rules, for I have always eaten meat merely as a matter of duty, and took kindly to Graham biscuit with my morning tea. Moreover, the bread and butter habit at lunch and dinner I have always thought vulgar. But to eliminate waste has been a different matter. Still I have in a measure succeeded. There is nothing in the bread box or any- where else (except the inevitable boxes of Graham biscuit) but the daily ra- tion; so that now when I come home in the afternoon hungry I either for- get it or eat a few more Graham bis- cuit--which I shall never look at again after the war is over. Will Be Greatest Nation. I mention this personal experience because it is no doubt that of many others. In a short time it will be the experience of everyone in the United States; for the way this nation has waked up, denied itself its customary luxuries in order to put the money in- to the Liberty loan and War Savings | heights of wealth and strength of char- | | learned in this wat is the need of men | ness, | women working together with unanim- stamps is the most significant thing in its history. And as there is something | very fascinating about thrift and econ- | omy after it has been practiced for al time no doubt the habit will be a last- ing one, and this nation will reach acter that its most ardent native ad- mirer never would have ventured to predict. More than any other single cause does a national habit, if it is a good one, knit a nation together, prevent the disintegration which comes from the softness of over-indulgence. And for the formation of this habit of thrift, and the lucid exposition of what thrift means in the winning of | the war, we must thank the War Sav- ings stamp campaign. I doubt if any individual in this country, barring the! traitors who call themselves pacifists and I. W. W.'s, has failed to buy him- self at least one War Savings stainp. CELEBRATE AND DIG WOMAN GREAT HELP IN LIBERTY LOAN WORK Has Become Integral Part in Sharing Obhiigation of Financing the War. ° Laelia 8y MISS GRACE DIXON, Federal Reserve Director for Women in Seventh District. One of the great truths we have and women working together under- and sympathetically--ani- mated by the nie spirit of helpfui- of fearlessness, of enthusiasm. -facing definitely one goal with equal honor, equal power. For men and FH ity of purpose make 'the ideal service for the nation. - Taking Lincoln's great | words "We all need to. work together to the end" that loyalty of the people | by the people shall not perish from the | earth. To write of the activities of the | women's work in-the Seventh district is a pleasure, as we have become such gation of financing the war. That the | work 'of the women and men might be co-ordinated in .the district, the director for women has | been made a member of the eampaign | "committee as well as of the executive committee of the federal reserve bank- The state chairmen, ¢ounty chairmen and city. chairmen have been made members of the exéeu- | tive committees of the men's organiza- tion in their respective states, counties and cities, The "definite activities shall be: 1. All are listed ing committee. for women women's organizations that strictly under women, as clubs, fraternal lodges, leagues, guilds, etc: 2. All elementary and high schools, private and parochial schools. 3. All booths, such as street, hotel, societies, restaurant and cafeteria, department store and theater hooths. 4. Women shall co-operate with the men's committee in churches, univer sities, ward organizations and any oth- | er committees where they can be of | service. | It was also recommended that no separate reports of the amount of sub scriptions taken be giver by women but that on account of the volunteer subseription and allotment plans. credit be given equally to both men and women it is advisable for wom en county chairmen te have a dis- tinet and complete understanding with the county chairmen of the ! men's organization of this fact, so that no misunderstanding will arise on this subject during the campaign. Where regular campaigns for solicit- ing subscriptions are made by both men and women, a separate record must, of course, be kept and re- ported. Dr. Anna Shaw's admonition to the women of America "That every woman should tie her child to the United States government by a little bond" is the slogan that is the inspiration of our workers. Through our vatious churches, schools, clubs, we hope to reach every home in this country--yor we realize that if we can touch and kindle the patriotic ardor of women and bring women of diversified experi- ences and standards of living to n realization of their responsibilities, that upon the people who remain at home rests the obligation of finance ing this war, then indeed are we ful filling our mission as we should. THE WILL TO WIN. The casualty lists are hitting the rural communities as well as the cities and bringing home the war in earnest. Every casualty list should increase the will to win, and strengthen the deter- mination to win regardless of cost. The men are giving their lives on the fight- ing front, and the folks at home cannot ! powder which it is | are giving up their good looks, their ,world there is no interest but the con- 'I work.' | women occupied an 'integral part in sharing the obli- i to show the effects of the powder.

Its square flat houses stand | in straight even rows and along one | side of the city wall is a long dormi- | tory for single women. There are many more .of them than of the families in the drab little houses. The village is full of women--old, young, émiddle- aged--whose faces, hands and hair slowly are turning yellow from the said will eventually affect their lungs. But most of them | are refugees and the fact that they health, and perhaps their lives in the | munition factory, is of little moment to them. They have come into the walled town from ruined vyillages and devas- tated farms with their frightened little children, their despairing old people, carrying all their earthly possessions in tiny bundles. In their individual lives there is no future; in all their quest of the Hun. No. one comes into this little war community that centers around the big new munitions plant but those who | Because of the danger and the blighting yellow powder, the work is highly paid. and all the workers are volunteers. + : The women wear overalls or apron dresses, some of black sateen, some nondescript. The dull garb harmonizes with the yellowing faces and despair- ing. eyes. Into this modern walled city of de- spair the Blue Triangle has flashed the first message of hope. The Y. W. C. A. foyer is the only recreational center within reach. "The cars which find cafes at the end of the line a mile away, stop running at seven o'clock to save. fuel." The city is three miles from the factory. "My problem," writes the. Y. W. C. A. secretary in charge, "is to keep the in the evenings, to give them good healthy amusement so that they will forget their sorrows and zo to bed and sleep, physically tired out from playing." She goes on to tell of some of the women and girls who come to the | foyer: "There is a pretty little round, rosy- cheeked girl here who ig'just beginning The roats of her-hair and _her. forehead are la pale yellow. The palms of her hands sand arms a bright yellow. "There is an ex-professional dancer, interesting girl who enjoys the and helps entertain the other airls. There is a professional pianist There is one rough-and- ready girl who speaks English, whose father was an innkeeper in northern France. There is a pretty little girl who is engaged to a French soldier who still is rejoicing over the five min- utes she had with him recently during His mother is the care- the war. Two of them are German military prisoners, two are civil pris- oners in Germany and two are soldiers in the trenches. Her home in the | north of France was destroyed and she escaped with a small bundle of such things as she could carry in her hands. "There is a sweet-faced girl who was a lacemaker in Valenciennes, who came direct to us from the German- in getting away." These are the women the Blue Tri- angle is helping to forget--perhaps only for an hour at a time--the hor- rors that have blackened their hearth- stones and darkened the world. "My foyer," the secretary writes, "consists of a hall and two large rooms with cement floors. One has a writing table and paper, pens and ink, sewing machines, a cupboard with teacups in it, a large table with papers and maga- zines, easy chairs and my desk. The other room has a piano, more tables, chairs, ironing hoards and a Vietrola. There are unframed French pictures and American and French war posters around the room. The walls are paint- ed gray and white." Saturday evenings they sing and dance. "First they have a chorus," writes the secretary, "such as 'Le Reve Passe' or the 'Hymne des Aviateurs' or something equally thrilling, and at the final notes of triumph a voice at my ears begs, 'Un polka, mees." The polka finished, there is a call for the 'Hymne Americain' and we sing the 'Star- Spangled Banner, Le Drapeau Etoile) in two languages."
