WONDEIiFUL IVOKK Oh" RED CROSS Tlio recent report il! the lied Cross work completed by the La Chvinde chapter and its auxiliaries shows that the amount of supplies exceeds 21,000 pounds and will make more than an ordinary carload. When it is con sidered that this immense amount of things needed' for the army and the hospitals is made, up principally of small articles which contribute but little in themselves to the aggregate weight and that on still a large portion of the things supplied, hours of time have been spent in their preparation, we can begin to grasp a little, bit of an idea as to the time and effort which these patriotic workers have expended. ' Not in La Orande alone, but in the surrounding locali ties where the workers are probably more limited in number, but none the less zealous in the cause, the work goes steadily on, piece by piece, hand and brain working in quite unison for the sons or the neighbors' sons who are "with the colors." Among many of the auxiliaries, the usual socjal func tions' which have heretofore been a part of the neighbor hood meetuiga' luu'C J.U'eii abandoned entirely in order to do more work for the lied, Cross. And every piece of work turned out and every ounce of gausse or knitted garment is consecrated to the holy cause of triumphant world.

V. A., says: . "The United States, will, insist upon a just peace tj one of material conquest. It is a moral victory the world i should win. I think I do not mistake the current of public ! sentiment throughout our entire country in saying thai j our people will favor an international agreement' by which! 'the peace brought about through such blood and suffering! and destruction and enormous sacrifice shall be preserved ! by the joint power of the world.

To this cable the food 'administration replies: "We will export every grain of wheat that the Amer ican people save from their normal consumption. We be lieve our people will not fail to meet, the emergency." Secretary of War Maker assured the senate committee last week that the year 1918 will place an additional mil lion and a half of American soldiers upon the battlefields of .Europe.' '' ' 1: " ; " President Wilson, addressing the farmers of the coun try one week ago, pointed out the necessity for a greatly increased food supply. If this food is to be produced to win the war there must be men to plant and to harvest the crops that produce it. This year will see approximately ten million men withdrawn from the usual avenues ol occupation and diverted to the army and navy, to muni tion plants and to other industries that bear directly upon the war. The largest single hitherto untapped available labor source is the two million boys of l( years of age and over1 who ai'c in the schools, or who are engaged in unessential j occupations. The United Slates Hoys' Working Reserve is attempt- j nig to unionize these two million hoys to iane ine places in farm and shop now being vacated by men.
