WEEK'S FOOD FACIS FIFTY PER MORE FOOD TO EU ROPE THAN LAST YEAR Americans must send to Europe this year 50 per cent more food than she sent last year. Americans had to do "some saving" last year.

Every person must, save his share in or der that the boys abroad may be sus tained in the big job of delivering the knock-out blow to the Hun. Because the Minnesota club, perhaps the most exclusive organization of the kind in St. Paul, made false statement regarding the amount of sugar it had on hand and attempted to hold more sugar than it was properly entitled to under the food administration regula tion, it has been deprived of all licens ed food commodities from October 10, 1918, to January 1, 1919, inclusive ana no sugar certificates will be issued to it until January 1.

The Home Demonstration agent, co operating with the Women's -committee of the Council of National Defense*- is urging every rural school to put in the hot lunch at noon where pupils bring their lunch from home. Child conserva tion is one of our most important duties because the future of America depends on our school children of today. The Children's Bureau at Washington, D. C., strongly endorses the hot lunch work and the question of proper feeding has a very direct bearing on the men tality of the child. The plan is to have one hot dish served at noon with the sandwiches the children bring from home the girls prepare the hot dish and the teacher supervises the work. It has been found that where children have a hot lunch they do better school work, discipline is easier and the children are above all better nourished. closed as long as the epidemic prevails! wojjl4 appreciate it very much if you This also applies to all Other publiQ ~~A —1-~ places in the eity. -i following are a number of people of the city who are ill with influenza: Bob ert Pavig, Mr, and Mrs. F.

TAX DAYS ARE HEBE Including today there are but six days left in which to pay real estate taxes. The closing day is October 31. Pay on or before that day and avoid the ten per cent penalty. Were you among those who paid their subscription to the Herald, If not, bet ter get in before the rate goes up. DO IT NOW! Otto Crossfield left Tuesday foV St. Cloud, from which place he was drafted into the service. He left the same day for Camp Cody, N. M. Ernest J. Carlson, at the time he en tered the service connected with the Herald, wired his parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. R. Carlson, a few days ago, that he was leaving for overseas. Many of our subscribers are paying their subscriptions, and therefore help ing us to meet the government's de mands. But there are also many that we have not as yet heard from. Why not? DO IT NOW! An order recently issued states that in order to prevent the spread of the Spanish influenza through the civilian population, no furloughs to enlisted men or leaves of absence to officers will be granted until the epidemie is over. Fur loughs will only be granted where the reason carries great enough weight to make it necessary. Preston Carenen and Fred Bond, the two men who were arrested in Minne apolis last week for the theft of the car of Frank Wachlarowicz, and who were taken to Detroit had the following sen tences imposed upon them by Judge William F. Parsons: Bond was given not less than one or more than ten years at the state penitentiary at Still water and Carenen was given the same sentence to be served at the state re formatory at St. Cloud. Av SUFFERERS CONTRIBUTE $5000 TO VICTIMS OP FOREST FIRES Tuesday evening.a meeting of the Morrison County Safety association was held, the purpose of which was to de cide what Morrison county was going to do to help the fire stricken people of the northeastern part of the state. Many of the larger cities of the state have already started to raise funds which are growing every day. The twin cities had, to Monday, raised $75,000 and expect to increase that to $100,000 by the end of tho week. Taking this as a basis, it was decided at the meet ing to raise $5,000 in Morrison county. On account of tbe prevailing epidemic of influenza, it was considered inadvis able to make a house to house canvas of the city for subscriptions. Each bank of the county has been asked to take in subscriptions and each have been alloted a certain amount to raise. Mr, Bergheim, vice president of the Safety Commission of Morrison county, presided at the meeting and was author ized to appoint three men to work with the officers .of the association in making the campaign a success. The committee made up as follows: M. M. Williams, N. N. Bergheim, J. K. Martin, W. E. Olson, George H. Peterson and Andrew Johnson. Mrs. L. D. Brown, representing the Women's Auxiliary, stated that that or ganization in the city would help in every way to make a successful drive. Mrs. R. L. Cochrane, representing the local Red Cross chapter, stated that a number of the branches throughout th*. county, have expressed their desire to donate to this fund as they have ready money in their treasuries. It was de cided that all donations that comfr through Red Cross chapters or auxiliar ies in the ^ounty will be credited to this fund. Messrs. Ttichie* Martin, Ji\ cobson, Peterson, Stephenson, Rider and Williams all expressed their desire to see the campaign brought to a speedy and successful close. Donations to this cause should be made in cash and the amounts of tne donations as large as each person can afford. Imagine yourself, Mr. Reader, in the same predicament as nearly 15,000 people of the northeastern part of the state are, without homes or mon ey and with only the eloth.es that they have on their backs. Not only that, think of some relative that you might have lost in the fire. Of course any amount of donations couldn't bring back the dear ones, but when the peo ple of that district see that the rest of us intend to help them in every way, their gratitude will be unbounded. The' insurance adjustment companies are working in the burned district but it will be some time before returns will be made to those who have lost property so it is up to us to keep these people in food and clothing until this work has been accomplished. To insure the successful completion of the drive, each bank has been alloted an amount equal to 2 per cent of the money taken in by them during the Third Liberty Loan drive. This per centage does not apply to tlie individ ual. Send in your subscription now. NURSING COURSE AT UNIVERSITY Mrs L. D. Brown is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. T. G. Winter chairman of the Woman's committee ot the -Na tional Council of Defense, tfhieh states that a pre-nursing course for high school graduates only has been opened at tne university and will 'ast twelve weeks. The letter states that there are still ac commodation for fifty more girls. Students who wish to enter will pay a tuition and their own expenses for t)re twelve weeks as regular university students do. When they go into the army nursing school, however they wiU receive free tuition, board, lodging and Sundry and a monthly allowance of $15 Girls who wish to enter should make application at once to Miss LouisePow ell, University Hospital, Minneapolis. SHOULD DO RED CBOSS WORK On account of the prevailing epidemic of the Spanish influenza many of the women and girls of the city, under the provisions of the recent resolution adopted by the council, believed that they were not to report for Red Cross work at the workrooms of the c«y. There was no provision made for Kea Cross workers gathering however and all those who can are urgently asked to come to the workrooms and spendL a few hours in this work. Due to the large amount of sickness the camp hos pitals are greatly in need of nursing supplies especially in the line of bad clothing. All workers wear masks while in the workrooms thus doing away wit any danger of contracting influenza. COMMITTEE WILL CALL ON DE LINQUENT BOND BUYERS Arrangements have been made by the Central Committee for Morrison county so that all who are delinquent on their quota of bonds for the Fourth Liberty Loan can get them. Although Morrison county went over the top, the committee' feels that it is manifestly unfair that those who failed to purchase bonds so far in this drrv® should be allowed to get off without buying their just proportion. The Central Committee will continue to call delinquents before them until the entire county has been canvassed thoroughly. _E Mmardi Chairman. A. Simonet is in receipt of a letter from Dr. H. M., Bracken of the state board of health which states that from the date of writing onward funerals of all who have died from the Spanish IP fluenza or pneumonia following influen za must be strictly private. This order applies to the bodies of returned sol diers, who have died of the disease, as well as civilians, v..,, -r-
