In what is generally known as the Inland Empire, comprising the eastern half of Washington, the northern half of Idaho, the northeastern part of Oregon and northwestern Montana, the total Liberty bond quota was about eleven million dollars, Latest compilations indicate that this region has subscribed over four- teen million dollars, This show- ing is all the more remarkable when the fact is pointed out by campaign managers that the In- land Empire virtually has no war activities such as_ shipbuilding, manufacturing, cantonments or naval stations out of which a profit is made. Instead, the In- land Empire is called upon to provide a big quota of every war fund with no returns. Conse- quently campaign managers give extra credit to the patriotism of this district. Eclipse of the Sun June 8. The greatest astronomical event in 49 years will occur June 8. A great eclipse is scheduled to reach this section at 4 o’clock in the afternoon of that date. It will be the first total eclipse of the sun that has been seen in the west since August 7, 1869. While the path of the eclipse will be 60 miles wide, first entering the country at Astoria, Oregon, and traveling in a southeasterly direction across the country to Florida, there will be almost total darkness over a much wider belt. The moment of greatest obscuration in this state will be at 5:28 in the eve- ning. For nearly an hour there will be almost total darkness. By 6:28 the sun will be shining as usual. {Many papers, by mistake, have mentioned this eclipse as taking place on May 8th—last Wednesday.] —_o——_ Greencreek Farm for Sale 320 acres, 312 cultivated; 7 room house, large barn for 20 horses and 80 tons hay; house and barn lighted; cow barn, new garage, cement cellar, other buildings, large orchard.

The Spending of Your Hundred Million Dollars Busiest Budget in All the World Is a Red Cross War Fund—Every Dollar Spent Alleviates Misery. Last summer the public subscribed a hundred million dollars to the Red Cross. At the latest statement over eighty-five millions of it had been ap- propriated. Where has it gone? you ask. For many. months the world has been spending over a hundred million dol- lars a day for the destruction of life, limb and means of subsistence. Call up what you have read about the war's devastation. The American Red Cross’ enormous job is to do whatever it can| to alleviate that—not after the war, not after governments have deliber- ated and resolved; but right now, at the minute, on the spot. It’s amazing that it has done so much with so little money. Last autumn the Italian army fell back precipitately. On your war map that meant rubbing out one line and| drawing another half an inch further south, thousands of poor families fleeing from their homes. Major Murphy, Red} Cross Commissioner in Europe, rushed | to the scene and wired: “Indescriba ably | pathetic conditions exist, involving) separation of mothers and children, cold, hunger, disease, death.” In No- vember and December the American} Red Cross appropriated three million| dollars for relief there—a large sum, yet small in comparison with the need. Condensed Milk for Children. Soldiers are only a part of the Red) Cross’ work—probably the smaller part. Every instant, somewhere in the vast flood of destruction, a hand ches up in appeal. fo be a child’s hand or a woman’s.} When the Red Cross commission reached Petrograd it asked the gov- eroment, “What is the mest urgent Over there in Italy it meant} It is pretty apt) By WILL PAYNE thing?” The government replied: “We must get condensed milk for the little children here.” The commission got the milk. At one spot in France farm work was stopped by lack of horses. That meant more hunger, The Red Cross got in a big tractor and set it to plowing for the community. There are a million needs. Cold, wet and the deadly physical strain of the trenches undermine men’s consti- \tutions. A frightful scourge of tuber- culosis has developed in France. The |Red Cross has built sanatoria, pro- vided over a thousand beds and nurses. Thirty Millions for France. I have here a big sheaf of sheets filled with figures. One item is thirteen | million and odd dollars—the amount | which, up to that time, had gone to the local chapters of the Red Cross in the | United States for local relief. Twenty- five per cent of the money subscribed through the chapters eventually goes that way. Over thirty millions have been ap- propriated for work in France. Here is a million and a quarter—in round | numbers—for military hospitals and dispensaries; over a million and a half for canteen service, where French and American soldiers, relieved from the | trenches, can get good food, a cot, a | bath, and have their clothes disinfected —and so go on for their brief holiday clean, rested, nourished. There are over three millions for hospital supply | service ; half a million for rest sta- | tions for American troops. Aid of refugees—eleven thousand | families—accounts for nearly three million dollars; care and prevention of | tuberculosis takes over two millions; care of helpless children over a mil- lion ; relief work ip six devastated dis tricts, including care of five thousand families and sufficient reconstruction to make houses habitable, required over two millions, Misery on an Unparalleled Scale. These are all large items; but the Red Cross is grappling -with human misery on an unparalleled scale—a world of it. The item for relief of the blind amounts to four hundred thou- sand dollars. The dispensary service sends supplies to more than thirty-four hundred hospitals. The Red Cross re- ceives and distributes more than two hundred tons of supplies daily at Paris. For this distribution and its other work it requires a big transportation service of motors and trucks. This transportation service has cost a mil- lion and a half, and its operating ex- penses run to a million dollars. Every dollar it spends means misery alleviated. Its work is building abroad for the United States the best good will in this world, It is building the best good will among ourselves.
