FIFTH ANNUAL ROLL GALL
STARTS ARMISTICE DAY
COUNTY SHOULD RESPOND TO
ORGANIZATION'S URGENT
CALL FOR FUNDS
Mrs. Leslie Gray, field representa
tive for the Central District American
Rvl Ciass, spent Monday in Mil hank
with the officers of the Red Cross
chapter and the county nurse making
preparations for the fifth annual Tied
Cross roll call.
""^fbe Rot" Call will he started on Nov
vemhfci 11. Armistice Day, this year
and it is planned by the National,
State and Local organisation?! to make
a vigorous campaign. The need for
a larger Red Cross membership and
for a larger amount of money is great
er than ever before. Mi*. Gray stated,
and the public must be awakened to
the needs.
The Red Cross has been doTnr
wonderful work, during the war on
the fields of battle and with the sol
diers in the camps, and ^ince the arm
istice in caring for the wounded and
needy soldiers and their families. In
addition to this great work, the com
munity health program has received
a great share of the attention and ef
forts of the organization.
In Grant county we have had dem
onstrated the efforts of a successful
count nurse. Miss Beagin was sent
here y the Red Cross, which paid
the salary and expenses of the nurs-3
for the first six month- entirely. The
county commissioners then assumed
eight months salary, while the Grant
County Chapter of the lied Cross has
been paying1 four months galary and
all of the expenses of the m**e foe
the past year.
During the time that Miss Seagirt
has been working in the county she
has examined, weighed and measured
the children in the schools. In the
cases where physical defects have*
been found, *he has advised the par
ents what to do and has followed up
the caee* to. see the good results when
her advice has been followed out.
Miss Beagin has taken an active in
terest in securing better school con
ditions for the pupils, having drink
ing fountains installed where there
was no mean- of securing1 water by
the children at aU, starting plans for
the hot lunches to be served to the
children at noon, and better building
conditions in every way possible.
Miss Eeagin recently ntated that the
condit'ons were 100 per cent, better
than when she came und she was
ver\ grateful for the co-operation
and assistance given tier by the school
boards.
About one hail of .the rural school s
will have hot lunches served this com
ing winter. This means that the chil
dren will have hot.cocoa, soup, vege
tables, or some warm iood with their
noon lunch instead of having no warm
food from morning until evening. The
need of this has been found in all cf
the rural rchqols, and the plan is be
ing adopted all over the United States.
It is possible that a dental clinic
will be established for the winter,
where the school children can have
their"teeth cleaned and filled. Brown
county held a clinic and 1,1X5 chil
dren were treated there with splendid
iresults.
In addition to title school work and
care of the children, Miss Beagin has
conducted classes in home nursing,
hygiene, and care of the sick. These
classes are for adults, teaching them
not only the care after sickness ha*
come into the family, but what mea
sures to take to prevent the illness.
While the classes were not large it
is altogether due to the fact that the
public did not take advantage of them
the way they should have.
During the past summer a series
of baby conferences were given,
where the mothers of the city could
bring the babies for weighing and
measuring and for advice and instruc
tions as to the care of the baby. Quite
a large number of the coming genera
tion were present at these confer
ences. Classes for prospective moth
ers, and the care of babies were also
given in addition.
Miss Beagin's work is supported in
a measure by the Red Cross chapter,
It is one of the really bif step* which
the county has taken and should be
continued.
The Red Cross chapter will also as
sist needy soldiers and their families
as well as other needy people. It
has worked in connection with the Le
gion
in
assisting in
the
cleanup of
the claims of soldiers, war-risk in
surance
and other
aeed-

first Lyceum Number
Thursday evening, Oct. 27th at 8:00
p. m. Ihe first number of the Lyceum
Course will be given In the Congre
gational church. This opening num
ber is one which should draw a large
attendance as it is presented by the
famous "Warwick Male Quartette."
The Warwick* will present a varied
program which will be inspiring as
well as entertaining. They are said
to be "vocalists who can really play
and instrumentalists who can really
sing/', Since their program is a good
miv.tuie of vocal and instrumental se
1 ret'Otis there will be sufficient variety
in the program to avoid all monotony
I'.nd as their selections range from
the popular to the classic a rogram
cf fy© 1 balance is secured. Ihe War
wicks are popular wherever they have
appeared because they understand so
well the essentials of a first class Ly
ceum program.

season tickets better do so at once.
If the committee has not yet called
on you Ihev will do so very soon. If
not get them from Mrs. A. L. Heid

Big Sales Attract Many
The recent pinch in financial mat
ters ail o\ or the country is oeing se
verely felt l.y merchants everywhere,
and many of thm are making spec'al
.-ales, thus giving their customers and
the public generally the benefits of
greatly reduced prices. The Erland
son & Juhnson Company the old re
liable mercantile house of this city,
has been having" one of these sales
during the past week, and giving the
public a bif benefit in reduction of
prices. The J. S. & L. P. Farley
haul-.are company of Corona, {.re also
advertising a big reduction sale on
all their hardware and machine goods
and are ottering a splendid chance to
buy to all who are in want of good.'
in that iine. These merchants believe
that the "nimble penny is better than

Some figurer given by Mrs. Gray
show the need of a large membership
this coining year. During Ihe past
year the National Red Cross has ex
pended $10,000,000 aiding the wounded
and needy soldiers and their £amilie^.
As (here was only $7,000,000 subscrib
ed last year tlufc the Roll Call, there
was a deficit of $3,000,000 which was
paid by using: the reserve fund of the
organization. There will be a greater
need for more money this year, as
the number of tuberculosis and ner
vous break-down cases are increasing
at an alarming rate. The Red Cros
has been working with the govern
ment bureaus, giving aid that will
cut "red tape" so that immediate as
sistance can be given in the desperate
cases.

DON LIVINGSTON'S REPORT
ON FARM^LOAN BILL
REPORTS RESULT OF WASHING
TON VISIT* IN INTEREST OF
FARMERS OF STATE
At ihe recent meeting of the Farm
Bureau with the county agent at tht*
court house in this city, the question
of the War Finance Corporation was
brougU up and its ability to help in
providing monev for fi lming opera
tions, was discussed. The following
article will le of interest to all who
are looking for relitf from this
source:
Pierre, Oct. 20.—Don Livingston,
commissioner of agriculture for South
Dakota, recently visited Washington
to consult with go' ernment officials
regarding the act passed by congress
authorising tlie War Finance Corpor
ation to loan .$1,000,000,000 for the re
lief of agriculture Mr. Livingston
has issued the following statement
concerning his trip to the national
jcapitai:
"Senate Wit No. 1915, amending the
War finance Corporation act, and pro
viding a one billion dollar fund for
agriculture and live stock loans, be
came a law on approval of th presi
dent on August 24, 1P21.
"The law provides that any bank,
banker, trust company or cooperative
association of producers, that haV
loaned money to farmers for agricul
tural 'lurposes, including1 the breed
ing, raising, fattening and maiket'n.jf
of livestock, may cash such loans
through the War Finance Corporation*.
"While this money was provided for
by congress on August 24, its dis
tribution naturally has been delayed
somewhat owing to the necessity for
the construction of necessary ma-v
chinery, or organization ^or handling
the business.
"The corporation ha provided for
sub-agencies known cts agricultural
loan aj-encies. in state- or srr^up3 of
states, ihrough which i anks may filo
their application for loans. Such ub
agenc?s will examine the applica
tions ami securities and if the sarm3
be approved they will be forwarded
to the War Finance Corporation at
Washington for final action.
"It was our hope juid expectation
that South Dakota would have an ag
ricultural Joan agency of its own. It
developed however that a different
plan iiad been formulated and South
Dakota borrowers are to function
through a joint agricultural loa-i
p.genfcV comprising the states of
Minnc ota, North Dakota and South
Dakota.
"This plan was distasteful to our
people, not o::ly on tho basis of tat3
pride, hut also on tire ground of im
paired service due to many self-evi*
dent factors.
Remonstrance to Washington i
'On receipt of the aoove informal
lion-a i trong remonstrance developed
in every part of the state and protests
were forwarded to the corporation.
C. M. Henry, of the rural credit board,
and the writer, as commissioner of
argicuiture, went to Washington to
take the matter up personally with
the War nance Corporation.

we had a conference with the board
of directors of the war finance cor
