County Agent's Field Note's
BY C. K. YOUNG.
Mr. Chas. Grafr, of the Nebraska
LiveStoqk Improvement Association,'
spent one day last week with the
county agent visiting farmers in the
interest of increasing pork prodHC
tion, both by breeding greater num
ber of sows than usual and by feed
ing hogs now on hand to greater
weight. Nebraska farmers are ask'
eu to breed twenty per cent more
sows than last year. Hundreds of
town people can assist the " govern
ment in this particular by raising
one or more utters ot pigs, and at
the same time benefit themselves.
The winter School of Agriculture

scribing the courses may be obtained

school childrent About twenty chil
dren will be present from the public
school that the details of the work
may be carried out. Free hot coffee

ciation. An address by C. C. Beer-
munn, president of the Dakota Coun
Hv farmers Association, will precede

tions. All men and women are urg
ed to be present at this meeting to
help make tho county agent work a
real success for the coming year.
We are asked to call attention to

county organizations. Other meet
ings embracing every phase of Agri
culture will be held from January

NEEDS OUR HELP
American Red Cross Answering
Appeal on Wonderful Scale
Finest Peace Work
in History.
Now Red Cross Asks You and
Me to Do Our Part for
Those "Over There"
So We Must Join.
In war-torn Kuropo today there nro
millions of mothers and bnbles at the
point of death from nctual stnrvntlon.j
Winter Is nt hnnd. Yet they nro ras-
Bed nnd homeless. They nro diseased!
tuberculosis, dysentery, skin nffec-i
tlons, fevers nro ravaging them. They!
nro widowed nnd orphaned nnd broken t
with grief.
In order to protect America nnd snvo ,
tho liberties for which the nlllcs hnve
been buttling three yenrs, our owni
Inils nro over there now, fighting nnd,
dying so that you nnd I nnd our wives J
nnd our daughters nnd bnbles mny not.
suffer unspenknble cruelties nt tho
hands of enemy savages.
Now then : The people of America,
through their Red Cross, have under-'
tnken ,to right the hideous wrongs the
Teutons hnve done to noncombntnnts
In Europe, so fnr as It Is possible to do,
so. It menns building thousnnds of
homes, providing food, clothing nnd
cure for millions, conducting hundreds
of bospltnls on n large scale and thou
sands of mcdlenl dispensaries. It Is'
the biggest pence job tho world bns
ever seen.
But thnt isn't nil not by a long shot.
The American Red Gross bns a colos
sal wnr labor to perform. It must es
tablish and operate hundreds of lnrge
mllltnry hospitals of various kinds for
our own armies nnd those of our al
lien. It must provide necessities nnd
comforts for tho lighting men nnd for
tho nnlile women who nre nursing the
wounded. In short, It must do every
thing possible to tnke some of tho
curse out of wnr.
This work Is nlrendy well under
wny. Our Red Cross Is helping all,
tho stricken people on a great scale.
Our Red Cross must not fall down
on tho job. You and I are responsi
ble for the success of the enterprise.
Of course we can't go over there, nnd
actually build houses nnd feed
the hungry and clothe tho naked and
nurse the sick. But we enn back up
tho great machine already In tho field)
nnd at work. ,
What enn we do you and I?
Well, first of all wo must be -members
of tho Red Cross. At this writ
ing tho organization needs millions
more of us 'on Its muster rolls. Wo
compose tho army nt homo support
ing tho army In the Held both peace-'
ful nnnlcs. At homo hero we form
chapters and circles that furnish cloth
ing and hospltnl supplies for soldiers
nnd civillnns In Europe. Wo must
provldo'funds. We must show direct,
intlmnto", personnl interest in what tho
Red Cross field orgnnizntlon Is doing.
Wo must knit and sew and save and
give.
Right now the Red Cross Is cam
paigning fpr 15,000,000 members. Fif
teen million members by Christ
mas Eve Is tho slogan. One yenr's
membership costs one dollar. By pay
ing an additional dollar tho member
gets the Red Cross Magazine for a
year.
Every man, woman and child In this
community ought fo bo wearing a Red
Cross pin on Christmas Dny. Every
father should muko ach of his chil
dren a Christmas gift of a Red Cross
membership and explain to tho
youngsters the meaning of the present.
PRIME MINISTER'S DAY OFF
Lloyd George Has Been Known to Dig
Out a Badger Just as a Holi
day Pastime.
Tho picturesque uccount whlcli has
been given of tho prime minister's ngrl-
culturul activities on tho Sussex farm
on the occasion of his recent vacation
is probably suggestive only of the ver
satility displayed by hlra In tho matter
of holiday making.
Mr. Lloyd Gcorgo has been even
known to dig out n badger, says Lon
don Tit-Bits. In the vestibule of his
official residence may be seen a mag
nificent stuffed specimen which ho'
helped to bring to tho surface some
yenrs ago on Lord Cowdray's estates in
tho samo county.
It Is doubtful, indeed, whether, ex
cept lu the matter of arboriculture
pursuits, the present prime minister
has derived a precedent from any of
his predecessors. Tho nenrest ap
proach, perhaps, is Mr. Balfour, who
"goes In for farming nt his Scottish
Home at Whlttlngehnme, where some
splendid cattle have been turned out.
Tho late Lord Salisbury found his
principal source of recreation away
from tho cares of olllco in his labora
tory at Hatfield house, where he fol
lowed tho peculiar bent of his family
In scientific and electrical pursuits.
Sir Henry Campbell-Banncrman,
who was nn omnivorous reader, was
never so happy as when stnjlug at his
beloved Dover; Mr. Asqulth Is credited
with a passion for novel reading; Lord
Rosebery, whoso literary tastes are
well known, spends most of his tlmo
between Mentmore and his Scottish
sont; whllo Mr, Gladstone, when not at
Dollls bill, enjoyed a sea trip or a Bq
Joum ut some east const resort.
