Des Maines, Ia., Jan. 30.—From a small: beginning last June, ‘the Girl's Volunteer Aid, a local organization, has grown to a membership of more than 1,500 girls, who do Red Cross and. war relief work and plan enter- tainments for Camp Dodge soldiers. _ The G. V. A. was organized after a talk by R.. E. Patin, representing the war recreation board at ‘Washington, D. €., and the organization is ‘backed ‘by the City Federation of Women’s} clubs. In the last nation-wide campaign the G. V. A. gained 2,000 members for the American Red Cross. Almost all the members have been knitting for the soldiers and sailors and many) companies have certain days in the week’ designated to spend at the Red Cross.

BUSINESS OF QUARTER | GIVES BIG DIVIDENDS New York, Jan. 3U.—The United | States steel corporation paid to the federal government more than half ; its earnings in the final quarter ¢f 1917, according to a statement of the corporation issued Tuesday. Total earnings for that period am- ounted to $59,724,125, after making al- lowance for $60,950,364 paid into the government treasury as war income and excess profits. Net income for the final quarter was $48,045,344 and surplus for the same period amounted | to $16,258,272. This compares: with total earnings of $68,243,784, net income of $55,245, | 377, and surplus of $21,824,554 for the | previous quarter. In keeping with the expectations, the directors declared an “extra” divi- dend of .3 per cent on the common stock, in addition to the regular com- | mon dividend of one quarter, and pre- | ferred of 1%. Including a Red Cross dividend of one per cent voted in the second quarter, total disbursements ounted to 18 per cent. Total earnings for 1917 amounted to $231,668,131, after charging off $212,467,249 to government taxes, etc. It is expected this amount will be in- creased to $235,000,000 when final re- turns are made to Washington. In 1916, when no apropriations were made for war income and excess pro- were $342,997,092. ’ The statement for the last quar- er of 1917 also shows that $55,000,000 has been appropriated for expendi- tures made and to be made, including new plants and construction.

I. P. Baker, federal fuel administra-} tor for North Dakota, today in dis- g “Tag Your Shovel Day,” which tomorrow, Wednesday, January 30, is expected to result in one of these lit- tle conservation “ticklers” being at- tached to every coal shovel in North Dakota. The busines man uses a desk “tick- ler” to jog his memory now and then. A wellarranged “tickler’ turns up automatically every day the matters which must be attended to that day. Just so will this tag on every house- that the saving of coal is to be a big factor in the winning of this war and in bringing our boys home from Franc alive, whole and victorious. While Wednesday is “Tag Your end there. If for any reason young-| sters fail to reach every coal bin in their neighborhood on that day, the} campaign. is to continue until the field is covered. © It is not conceiv- able that any, family will refuse to thoroughly cooperate with the young-| sters in this patriotic work. The con- servation of coal is made as much/ a loyal duty as the conservation of food or any of the other little sacri- fices which the people who are safe here at home have been asked to make} as a means of helping the men who} are baring their breasts to enemy bullets “over there.” Should there be found coal slackers, their names will be reported and placed on record in the very same way as has been done with undesirables whom the Red Cross and Liberty Loan and Y.

Hard luck stories appearing in The Courier-News, . purporting Sto come from Kidder county, but which are published anonymously, are resented by Rep. Sydney Smith of Kidder. He particularly objects to’ the alleged statement of one farmer that “he must have seed and feed or It his hogs go. and quit farming.” This condition, if it exists at all in Kidder county, is the exception, says Rep. Smith, who has statistics showing that from two ceomparatively. small, shipping points out of more than a dozen in the county Steele last ‘year shipped 42,- 477 bushels of $2 wheat and Dawson shipped 46,000 bushels, ‘MOTHERS, DO THS— When the Children Cough, Rub Musteroie on.
