THE RED CROSS SOCIETY In an age charged with being selfish, sordid and commercial there has grown up and developed the greatest organization for unselfish service the world has ever seen—the American Red Cross. The growth of the Red Cross Society is evidence not to be controverted that the spirit of service is strong in the hearts of the people of today. The work of the society demonstrates that there are thousands who are willing to devote their services to humanity, and the support given by voluntary contribu- tions shows that there are hundreds of thousands more who are willing to devote a portion of their means to the alleviation of suffering. The activities of the Red Cross always have been generously sup- ported by the American public, but only since “our own” soldiers began to take a place in the trenches alongside our allies has this support become bountiful. It is the suffering and comfort of the men from ‘“our own neighborhoods” as well as the physical needs of our allies for which the Red Cross must now mobilize. The result—a greater and more impera- tive duty now confronts the givers in America. No appeal to the generosity of the American people has ever been un- answered. Let one part of the world be visited by some calamity like the Mount Pelee and Italian earthquake, China floods, the Johnstown flood, the San Francisco earthquake or any greater or lesser calamity, and the response from the nation is immediate and generous to a degree. The services of the American Red Cross Society to both sides in the Boer ‘War and in other wars was liberal and sacrificing. Fresher in our minds is the work the American unit has been doing in Europe in the last three years, especially the relief given the Belgian population. To meet this new and greatly enlarged demand—this demand that has the added force of patriotism and a duty we owe our own soldiers— there has been a campaign to raise $100,000,000 for the Red Cross work. The campaign has been conducted with a vigor and earnestness that in- sured success. It was participated in by all classes of Americans from the president of the nation down to the smallest boy scout, and the women of the nation were particularly active. “Red Cross Week!” will not be the only time in which one can assist _the work of the society. Every week should be a Red Cross week with those who are able to contribute to the work of this greatest agency of mercy. Its work is pressing and will continue a long time. It needs continued support and will not appeal in vain to a people as generous u the American nation. . ' 1 ‘.- e THE PEOPLE EAVEANSWER.ED S The American people have made their second answer to their coun- try’s call. The first answer was made on June 5, when 10,000,000 Amer- ican citizens between the ages of 21 and 30 years registered themselves for national service. This answer, though required by law, was made with a epirit and willingness that robbed the registration of any taint of compulsion or servitude. The second answer from the people was registered finally on June 15, and the answer completed that day was entirely voluntary. More than 3,000,000 American citizens voluntarily subscribed their money to sup- port the United States in the war. This they did, not hysterically, not in a spirit of war fever, but calmly nnd in the exercise of judgment and reason. It is true that the subscribers to the Liberty Loan of 1917 get full value received for their contribution, but the immense number of small bonds hought shows that it was not the wealthy alone of the nation that supported the Liberty Loan. It shows that it was not the investing pub- lic of America alone that bought the bonds. It shows that the American people subscribed the loan, and that, while many wealthy citizens invested millions in the bonds, a great many more American citizens of small means hastened to do their part. More than this, the lists of subscribers show that many citizens of very small means, perhaps with no capital and no great earning capacity, were willing to stint themselves in order to purchase a Liberty Loan Bond and have a share in the financial support of their country in time of war. The result of the Liberty Loan Bond sale is an inspiration to every American. It has proved the patriotism of the body politic. ' It has shown that behind the fighting men of the nation is the money of the people;. that behind the man power of the nation stand the immeasurable naqeu and material resources of America. The Liberty Loan of 1917 is a new tie between the government and feels more of an American citizen, and along with a eense of duty done and service performed feels an indlflw interest in, the | 89o1- ernment. Each has a certificate of ci p and mmuthlns that might be compared to a share of stock in the erican government. Germany has been answered and thq ,nfly h entirely unltacmry to all who love America. There is no mlzullng its volume or tome. It reaches across the seas and no censorship can rob it of its significance and strength. . ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AIRPLANES The government is to have 100,000 airplanes built and sent to France as quickly as they can be constructed. Our own men Wwill pilot those planes. Many a fair young life will be sacrificed in the clouds, but for every one who falls to his death the lives of a hundred men will be saved in the trenches. . No saner or more far-reaching plans were ever devised by our govern- the people of the United States. Every holder of a Liberty Loan Bond THE BEMIDJI DL{LY PIUNEER ment than the sending of these 100,000 planes to the French front. With a hundred thousand, or fifty thousand additional planes in the air the eyes of the German army will be blinded while ours will still have light. The rest will be but a matter of time, strategy and nerve. SLACKERS NOW WHINERS Those valiant young Willies who defied the government and refused to register are now whining for mercy. They are awaking to the pain- ful fact that the government was not -bluffing, and that in refusing to register they signed their own jail sentences. They find no sympathy from the rest of the people, and when they have completed their terms behind the bars, and are then taken by the nape of the neck and kicked into the trenches, l10yal Americans will ap- prove with a grin from ear to ear. “As the only man of prominence in Chicago who did not bixy a Lib- erty Bond, Mayor Thompson should receive the iron cross from the kaiser.” | —Chicago Daily News. Dead wrong, brother. Thompson is not a prominent man. not even any kind of a man. > i ¥ Fellow who owes us four years’ subscription stopped us on the street and inquired if we had bought a Liberty _Bond. ‘We told him! Those cold chills chasing up. and down youthful spines will soon be eliminated. The fire of the trenches will warm them up. About the slowest thing in connection with our war plans is every- thlngvthat concerns them. Speed up! And soon, now, the fat woman will be rolling down the bathing beach—splash! g Every woman has a mind, but the man who can fathom“it has never been born. . 3 Yes, sister, all men are alike in one respect.

Experiment stations and the Dbest dairy and stock farms in this country have proved beyond doubt that a silo is almost indispensable to a successful dairy and live stock business, says the Pennsylvania State college. If such is the case, does not its need then be- come doubly urgent under present con- ditions? ‘The silo affords an economical way of storing green roughage. With the corn plant there is always a great waste in harvesting, husking and stor- ing the dry material. The silo elimi- nates this waste. An average acre will produce 2,516 pounds of digestible dry matter in tim- othy hay, while in corn (ear and stalk) it will produce 5,025 pounds, or prac- tically twice as much digestible dry matter. The feeding value of these roughages for dairy cattle is widely different in favor of corm, especially when the silo is used. Silage also has —_— 5 IMPATIENCE. Impatience is a poor master and a hard one as we!l. In the impatient mood we are apt to .spend far more than is required in the doing of our work, and this excess is lost. We cannot estim the value of the power thus misplaced. When the ‘im- patient mood becomes the habit of a time you can understand that failure and perhaps loss, of health and energy are inevitable. | ~—Emily 8. Bouton. S — Watch Red Cross Morcury Rise tion of the natural plant juices, which furnjsh succulence. On farms where little alfalfa or clo- ver 1 grown’it is possible to irfcrease the proteln content of the silo by inter- cropping soy beans with the corn or ‘growing these two crops separately. If one cannot command sufficient la- "bor to store the green corn in'the silo at_the proper stage of maturify the ¢rop” may be harvested in the’ usual way and left to cure in t.he "shock. Later (several months if need be) when labor does become available the corn can be successfully stored in the silo. £xperiments ard practice have shown quite conclusively . that dry shock corn may be successfully pre- served in the silo if water is addel at the time of storage in amounts by weight of one to two times as great as the dry stover stored. Now is the time to plan for building a silo for this year's corn crop.” Wood stave, wood hoop, monolithic concrete and wood hood plastered silos may of- ten he constructed at low cost. GROW FEED FOR COWS. Roughages Must Largely Take the Place of Concentrates This Year. Grow an abundance of feed for the cow this season, advises A. S. Neale, specialist in dairy husbandry, division of extension, Kansas State Agricul- | tural college, Already the price of concentrates is “out of sight.” Prices will continue bigh unless these concentrates are re- placed by the cheaper roughages. Ev- ery Tarmer should plan to grow plenty of ‘alfalfa or clover and silage. If al- falfs or clover cannot be grown in your sectiau substitute another lenminmu crop, such as cowpen& During the next twelve months the production of dairy ‘products . will be due largely to the feeding of roughages instead of concentrates, as has former- 1y btuflhe case, ' cows of quality recelving noth roughages can mpd and 'is ‘composed of a mmbl.mflm of wilage and_ a Jeguminous hay.
