Independence, Monmouth, Airlie, SuveV, Buena Vista, Parker and Greenwood raised two thousand of South Polk's four thousand on the first day of the big Red Cross "drive". All hands are still working and it is generally expected that more ithan the four thousand will be subscribed. It will not go down in the records that Inde pendence and its sister towns of South Polk failed to meet the test. lo an tnose citizens ootn men ana women who have laid aside business and other pressing duties to devote their time to this "drive", we owe a debt of gratitude. We cau not name them lest we inadvertently omit one. Most of them will never be called upon to defend their country on the field ot battle, but they fought and fought well that the boys who do have to face the shell and shot of the enemy may have the attention and care due them if a foe's bullet pierces the flesh or disease attacks. Twenty-four hours behind the men's drive comes the campaign of the ladies. Under the able leadership of Airs. K. C. Kid ridge they will be everywhere until the campaign is over. By arrangement with the Monitor, they are able to give a dollar's worth of value for every dollar re ceived. They are out to get the money and no one doubts for a moment but what they will do it. Saturday night brings the jitney dance and everybody is going to keep step to the Red Cross music. If on or both of your limbs are rheu matic or has conscientious objections to that kind of exercise, still there is a way to do your bit. Seek the cashier at the jitney frolic, drop apiecce of money into the till and then go home rejoicing.

HOOVER ASKS ASSISTANCE Washington, D. C, June 16. Mr. Clyde T. Ecker, Editor, In dependence, Ore. Dear Sir: I write to ask your special co-operation in an important phase of the work of conserving food for ourselves and our Allies. The plan I now have in mind is de signed primarily to reach the church people and the women, but with the help of the press it can be made to cover the whole community. Under the date of June 18 there will be mailed to every minister whose name I can se cure a personal letter over my signature asking him to preach upon the subject of Food Con servation on Sunday, July first. In the same letter, I shall ex press the hope that this day will become known as "Food Saving Day," and that it may be made the purpose and motto of every household in America to Save the Waste and Win the War. I should be especially grateful if your influence and that of your paper could be used to enlist civic, fraternal, patriotic, and other organizations in the effort to make Food Saving Day really effective in conserving the food supply for us and our Allies, and in reducing the cost of living to our own people. Yours faithfully. Herbert Hoover.
