CANTEEN AT FRONT FOR
AMERICAN "BIRD MEN" i
American flying men In France are
to receive special attention from the
American Red Cross as the result of a
request for such service that has been
received from General Patrick, Chief
of the Air Service. Because at the
necessity of keenine
seas In the very best mental arid
pnysicai condition for their bazardou,
work officials of the aviation branch
the service have long felt they should
have more comforts and opportunities
for relaxation than are provided j
the ordinary canteen. '
In compliance with the requej t the
Red Cross Is establishing special com
bination mess and recreation Poteens
at all points In France where our avi
ators, either students or fflcfrs, are

THE RED CROSS ROLL CALL.
When "the greatest mother In
the world" calls the roll the
week of December 1&C3 the
'hope of the American Red Cross
- Is that the answer for the entire
American people will be: "All
present, or accounted for."
! It will be the occasion for
:22,000,000 adults and 8,000,000
.children to renew their jnember-
ship and for all others to Join.
One happy slogan of the roll call
announces that "all you Aed Ik
a heart and a dollar." ,
Why does the Red Crjss at
Christmas conduct a niefcber-
tip campaign? Because It unites
tbe people in an Intimate way
with the organisation they hive
supported so magnlflcently. In
other countries one of the most
Impressive thing about the
American Red Cross Is the size
of its membership, attesting
trtily popular approval.
This Christmas, when our
country Is out of the deep waters
of the war, every dollar paid for
an annual membership In tbe
Red Cross will be a direct
Christmas gift to our land, air
and-sea forces and to those who
have felt the sting ot war in a
way that we In thVs country
nave not experienced. The mln-
titrations of the Red Cross will
be as good a substitute for
Christmas at home as can be
furnished under the clrcurn-
stances.
The women of America, see-
Ing In the Red Cross an exten-
slon upon a universal scale of
the mothering Instinct, will be
quick to answer "Here" to the
roll call, because service and
sacrifice are womanly qualities
and they are Red Cross quall-
ties.
President Wilson, as president
of tbe American Red Cross,
says: "I summon you to the
comradeship!"
"I think If the people of America
could only see and realize what tbe
boys are doing out here," said a Cap
tain after Chateau-Thierry; "they
would gladly back them up with their
last dollars and their lives if neces

SAVE 16,000,000 BUSHELS .
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food Admlnlstra.
tlon, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
of Bread for Every American.
By adopting cleaner threshing meth
ods and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly wast
ed, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
16.000,000 bushels of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats, rye and other grains. Is shown by
reports from S3 grain states to tbe U.
S. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish defi
nite figures of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months'
time, was In direct response to re
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermeo
to reduce harvest losses from about
j 3 per cent. the estimated average
In normal times to the lowest possi
ble minimum. Country grain thresh
ing committees carried Into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous Instances drivers of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip-
. ment and frequently bad order thresh
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number of persons
engaged In gathering the nation's grain
crop, cases of compulsion were com
paratively rare. The Food Adminis
tration freely attributes the success of
the grain threshing campaign ' to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher
men and their crews. Incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions of dollars "In pocket"
as a result ot the grain saved.
NO ONE SUFFERED HERE.
The marvel of our voluntary food
saving, now that we are "getting, re
sults," Is that no one ever actually
suffered any hardship from It; that
we all are better In bealtn and spirit
and better satisfied with ourselves be
cause of our friendly self-denial.
Food control In America held the
price of breadstuffs steady, prevented
vicious speculation and extortion and
preserved tranquillity at home.
In no other nation Is there so willing
a sense of voluntary self-sacrifice as
In America that was shown In the
abstinence from wheat
Find more wheat. It came ; more
pork. It came ; save sugar, It was done.
So Americans answered the challenge
of German starvation.
Good. will, rules the new world as
fear governed the old world. Through
sharing food America helps make the
whole world kin..
Food control made sufficiency from
shortage, kept tbe rein on food prices,
gave the nation's full strength exer
cise. Starvation by Germany challenged
all the' world; food conservation In
America answered the challenge.
Food conservation In America has
been the triumph of Individual

CAPTIVE BALLOON
By EDNA PRICE WALLER.
CCvpyriiht. lilt, wHun Nmymyr Uuloa.
"Love will find way, Joslao."
"Not In this case, unless I am tht
pilot and guide. I have brought lip
my dead cousin's daughter, Winnie,
sine she was ten. I'y. seen to her
education. She's a smart girl, though
sometimes willful, 1 want to see her
start lu lire right."
J twin h LegKett's neighbor smiled se
cretly, lie knew, as did nil the town, the
old schemer handled a ainull Income
thivt cnine to Winnie, and umlouMedly
honefltifd by the same. Furthermore,
Wliuile wus mi apt little honiM'keeper,
"I have tried to bring Winnie aud
the clerk In my brother's store, Lent
Dyxart, together, because he is a sav
ing, respectable young fellow. Winnie
has hud a notion about Rodney Blake.
I've nipped his young anVctlou iu the
hud.
"Blake Is a pretty fiue young mnn.
nil the same," observed the uelglilior.
and the xpeaker went his way mental
ly comparing young Blake with th
carrotty headed, undersized Leiu Dy
sart. Meantime, Winnie was going
through a vivid ordeal. Her guardian
watched her as a cat does a mouse,
lie hud rcfuKcd to allow Blake to call
at the house, and Dysttrt was a fre
quent visitor. She despised the latter
as much as she admired the manly ob
ject of her choice. They met, but. un
der difficulties.
"It's got to end !" Rodney declared
forcibly. "You are old enough to know
your own mjnd and act upon It. Let
us make a bold dnsh und end this
wretched persecution."
"Oh, Rodney! You ddn't meon to
elope?" gasped Winnie.
"Why not? They are driving us to
that as the only outcome, aren't they?"
"We are watched so closely. Sm,
Rodney, there la Mr. Leggett, now. He
will see us," but Rodney slipped past
a hedge with the hurried parting
words :
"Be sure to see me tomorrow. I
have a plun I want to tell you about."
The plan was the outcome of a
suggestion inude by an old boyhood
friend of Rodney, one Bob West. They
had not met for five years until the
day previous; when Rodney had come
across West on the street. They hod
a pleasant chat, and West divulged
the fact that he was advance agent of
a circus which was to pitch Its tent
at the edge of the town Saturday.
Rodney told him whit he had on his
mind; Winnie, always Winnie, and
West showed a sympathetic Interest.
"Why. say," he remarked with
friendly ardor, "I con help you out In
a big way the balloon."
"I don't quite understand," snld Rod
ney vaguely.
"We have one. It goes up a thou
sand feet every afternoon. We adver
tise to give fifty dollars to any couple
who will make the ascent with a cler
gyman and consent to be married way
up In the clouds."
Rodney left his Ingenious friend,
filled with suppressed excitement. He
managed to get a lengthy note to Win
nie. He was around the circus before
the Saturday afternoon performance.
Winnie had induced her guardian to
allow her to attend the entertainment.
Tho latter, however, Insisted that he
accompany her.
"Here's your ticket," he said; "re
served sent near the band stand. I've
invited I.em, and as soon as he ar
rives we'll come In and make a regu
lar family group he! he!"
And then he Rtrolled about, and Win
nie disappeared pust the ticket taker,
but us soon as her gunrdlbn was out
of sight, darted out again, and two
minutes Inter entvred the tent before
which the glnnt balloon was swaying.
Inside wns Rodney, and she fluttered
to his side and was Introduced to
West, and the mnn In charge of the
balloon.
"Don't get scared, little one," spoke
the latter, a good-natured, fatherly
looking man. "Everything Is arranged
to a T. Now, then, Mr. Blake, Just
tog up In Unit false beard and wig.
Aud you, young lady, cover your pretty
face with this flowing bridal veil.
When I speak the word come out
quickly, and bustle Into the balloon
basket before anybody . recognizes
you."
Joslnh Leggett spent half an hour
looking for Dysnrt. He came across
hlrn, with several hundred others, star
ing aloft nt the balloon, which was de
scending from Its aerial ascent.
"I say, why wasn't you on time?"
censured Joslnh. "Here Winnie hns
been Inside the tent half an hour.
Come on In, or they'll . fill up our
seats."
"Just a minute," spoke Dysart, con
tinuing to gape aloft. "This Is lots of
fun. Let's have a glimpse of the happy
couple when they alight."
The wedding party was being borne
gracefully to the ground.- There was
the man engineering the balloon. The
bridegroom hnd removed his false
heard and wig and was smiling Into
the face of the bride, her enveloping
veil now drawn aside. The clergyman,
all smiles, held his hands over their
heads, delivering his blessing.
"Now hear the crowd guy them," be
gan Dysart, and then he clutched the
arm of his companion and nearly fell
ovr "Thunder I"
"Winnie!" guuped Josluh, and it was
his turn to collapse.
- And then, Instead of guying,' as the
cruwd recognized Winnie, whom half
the town adored, and Rodney, their
prime favorite, they realized the situa
tion fully, and amid enthusiastic
cheers the happy twain stepped to ter
ry firma, man and wife.
