mai Red Cross Roll Call will be
held. Every adult person of the
nation will be expected to re
spond to this call , with at least
one dollar. The plan is for you
to s!itn the roll, pay one dollar
and receive a 1919 membership
pin. This entitles you to mem
bership for one year. This rol
Ik placed on file at Washington,
D. C , and coming; generations
will be able to determine whether
or not you contributed to the aid
of the suffering and care of the
people or tne world, ir your
name does not appear on the roll,
' Why not, will be the question.
No notices will be sent out but
you will be given the opportunity
to sign. If by chance you should
be missed you can send in your
contribution to the banka or to
the "Roll Call Committee," Con
don, Oregon.
It is not necessary for us to go
into detail about the work of the
Red Cross. You all understand
what it has, is and will do. Suf
ficient to say that they have
plenty of work yet to do. The
sick, wounded and hungry people
or the world are to be cared for.
Have your dollars ready and
when approached by the solicitor
uiufi the roll and pay your dollar.
We expect every adult person in
Gilliam county to come through.
By stating "adult" it does not
eliminate younger persons Their
dollars will be accepted just the
same and their names will be
filed by the government. The
people of Gilliam county have
thus far nobly responded to all
war work cans and we reel sure
that every adult person within
the boundaries of the county will
have their names on the roll.
Our faith in the people is well
founded. Time alone will deter
mine whether or not it has been
misplaced. Everybody ready.
Tell your neighbors. Insist that
all sign.

ONE RESULT OF ADVERTISING
Speaking of advertising-Claud
Clark had a saddle he wanted to
sell and inserted a four line "For
Sale" ad in the Globe two times.
The ad cost him 40 cents. He
had ao many answers to the ad
that they kept him busy telling
them the saddle was sold. Globe
ads bring home the bacon.

PEOPLE EXPECTED
TOCONSERVE
SUPPLIES
.
The domestic sugar market if
now thrown open. The food
administration has announced the
abolition of sugar cards on and
after December 1st Every
house wife may now buy sugar
without signing cards and every
merchant ia allowed to sell his
customers without keeping: tab
on his sales. , ,
This ia not a general invitation '
from the government for every
family to start an orgy of sugar
intoxication. The food adminis
tration politely expresses its
expectation that consumers will
restrict their purchases to four
pounds apiece per month, and
that public eating places will use
no "more than four pounds for
each 90 meals served. This ia
the allowance recently announced
to become effective December 1st
The only change is that the
restriction instead of being com
pulsory ia now left to the con- .
science of the consumer.
There ought not to be any diffi
culty about avoiding excess, in
view of the real need of sugar,
that exists in most parts of the
world. We got along fairly well
with two pounds of sugar a
month. Surely we can get along
now with four, even during the
holiday season. - .
The work of the food adminis
tration is not yet completed.
The people of the U. S. are re
quested to still conserve on food '-.
stuffs. As yet no one staple has
been announced but we are ex
pected to conserve on all food.
Three hundred fifty millions of
people across the ocean are look
ing to America for food. We
must meet these expectations.
It is incumbent upon us to feed
these people. We can easily , do
this without material injury to
ourselves if we ouly conserve.
We are not to feed the Germans
but we are to permit them to
purchase food. Not from ua but
from South ' America and other
neutral countries.
' We will admit that sending
food to Germany does come hard '
even though Germany pays for
it Still, we find these words
recorded in Holy Writ: "If thine
enemy hunger, feed him.".
In figuring three hundred fifty
million people of Europe as being
hungry we do not count the Ger
mans or other enemies. -
VOTER SPEAKS OF HOME
( ATTORNEY ;
Speaking of the lawyer mem
bers of the state legislature, the
Oregon Voter has the following:
M. D. Shanks of Condon is at
the head of the legal profession
in Gilliam county, a position he
has reached in spite of compara
tive youth. He looks fifty, be
cause 'of his bald expression jof
wisdom," but is not much more
than thirty. . Jay Bowerman,
who formerly headed the Gilliam
County Bar, is balder than
Shanks but not balder than
Shanks is getting to be. Bower
man is a bald brunette, and
Shanks is a bald blonde, and
both are so bald that they have
to take their collars off to comb
what they have left ,
