The annual election of the Amerl-
iM Hod Cross Chapters all over tho

entertainment In this city with patri
otic addresses and some special com
munity singing.
A meeting of the executive Com
mittee was held Thursday evening at
which time Chairman Griffith presid
ed and considerable discussion of the
work was taken up. At this meeting
It was decided to Invite the public to
in. 'ml the annual election and take
purl In the entertainment. The man
.1 cement of the Liberty Theatre has
given the house for this occasion and
also wired at the Instigation of (hap
ler members for some special Red
Croat motion picture reels to' use in
iiinnectlon with the entertainment
planned for that evening.
There ia a possibility of securing
ana of the several Red Cross lecturers
for that date but if none are available
me members of the lecturers who
will be here for the teachers' Insti
tute will be pressed Into service and
deliver an address.
Mrs. Eugenia Rembold has been
appointed to take charge of the musl
cal part of the program which prom
ises to be one of the enjoyable fea

Mug Is a real attraction and an In
spiration during these war times. The
gOVernfJMat authorities suggest the
llnaiag of patriotic song and lively
lunea at public gatherings. The pic
lure dhows are asked to have the
m irons sing and thus we keep up
our nplrlts and lend courage In try
ing times.
While our armies are so successful
wo must keep up our work at home
and send every available help to the
boys who are making such sacrifices
for their country. The Red Cross is
the biggest factor in this work of
any society. We should give it our
uid in every way possible. The ladles
f thin county have been loyal and
hard working during the paat year
ami have accomplished everything
tni-y undertook to do for the
Red
Croat, Let every Individual give
theae loyal women their hearty co
operation and good cheer.
The big meeting scheduled for '
Wednesday uigbt, Oct 23, at the j
Liberty is free to ail. Come and hear i
the reports of the officers for the i
losing year and see what really has '
in-, n accomplished. See how your)
dollars have been spent and after you
have been apprised of the great good
done by this society you'll want to J
give them another handout at any !
future time they ask for contribu
tions. According to information received
tho several auxiliaries of the Chapter
are supposed to meet on the same
date and make selection of of fleers Hpv ,, s Hughe-, the new rainl

What Has Been Accomplished.
One million five hundred thous
and boys and girls have responded to
the call of the President and enlisted
in teh United States School Garden
Army.
Tweiity thousand acres of unpro
duitlve heme and vacant lots have
been fonvertcd Into productive land.
This will release an qual acreage
now used in truck gardening for the
production of other foodstuffs more
important for war purpses. It will
also relieve transportation conges
tion through home consumption of
home produced fodstuffs.
Fifty thusand teachers have re
ceived valuable instruction in garden
ing through the garden leaflets writ
ten by exports in this office and dis
tributed from here.
Boards of Lducation and other
civic organizations have been in
flu-..-nce.i to give-44aiiclal and mural
support to the school and home gard
en movement and to pay xtra salaris
for supervision and teaching.
Hundred of thousands of parents
have become interested in the gardn
movement and are working with
their children in home gardens. In
Salt Lake City alone 5200 mothers
representing sixty-two parental as
sociations are actively supporting
food production i he schools.
Thousands of civic, commercial and
patriotic organizations have become
interested in the movement and are
giving it hearty support.
One and one half million children
have been given something to do this
summer: something that will help
carry the burden of the.r country in
this struggle for freedom, something
hat will help them to build character
ad Kumething that will appeal to
gad develop their latrlctisni.
Home and acant lot gardening in
cities, towns and villages have been
dignified and made popular to a de
gree that practically insures them a
prominent place in th school system
of our country. It would be difficult
toestlmate the educational and mat
erlla value Of such results.
