AMERICAN RED CROSS chief of the Airierjcan Expeditionary Force, has designated the American Red Cross as the only relief society authorized to undertake th6 work of locating and administering to the American wounded who have been removed to the various hospitals in France. This order -was issued fol lowing the receipt of many applica tions from militarized civilians ask ing permission to visit wounded Americans who are undergoing treatment in French hospitals. It is designed to conform to the policy adopted' to centralize the activities of relief organizations overseas and to facilitate the most necessary work of the American Red Cross with the army in France. In tjie 83 departments of France there is an averags of 50 hospitals to a department, totaling about 4.500 French hospitals. To cover these hospitals systematically in order to find and i-:?ep in touch with the American wounded assigned thereto, the Anierican Red .

Each zone will embrace certain departments and the full responsibility-for the work will be decentralized to the American Red Cross officially in charge of the zone, , The pjan ..provides, in part, for the enlistment of the American wom'en residing in France with a view to appointing them local agents for the American Red Cross, that they may carry on whatever work i. . j.u e 4.1 : (.

Not only will this plan of organ- zation provide for much better ser vice to French hospitals than here tofore has been possible on the part of the Red Cross, but it will accom plish an added good also, in that it will actually employ a great numr ber of American women, as well as rench women who speak English but who have been, previously, un organized for American Red Cross work. .v;A y i-W. s. s. - . , I Let every white school child in Jacfeoii1 county be onnlle5ciay 24th to join the school parade.

BY DOGS pnyestigauott w we art ment of "Agriculture among sheep owners in fifteen states east of the Etocky Mountains shows that out of a total of 6,836,492 sheep in the 502 counties reporting,- 34$$ were kill ed by dogs in one ye ar (1913) and were paid for by thevoounties. At the same rati of loss in other farm states, the total annual destruction of sheep by dogs would be 107,760. "But these figures are based only upon the number actually paid for. and jt is more than probable that 1 the true losses far exceed the this says Farmers' Bulletin 835, entitled The Sheep-killing Dog' It is known tbat man sheep are killed which are never reported to county offi cials. In 1913, crop reports in 3ft farm states submitted estimates which showed tnat the number of sheep in those states could ,be increased 150 per cent without displacing other stock. Such an increase would place approximately 34,000,000 more sheep, in these states than there are now. Of 1,411 answers recieved to the question as to wheth er sheep-raising is profitable in the farm states, 887 answered "yes." Of 894 answers as to the cause prevent ing increase in the numbers of sheep, 531 said "dogs." Uniform state laws are advocated in the bul letins as being the most effective method of dealing with sheep-killing dogs, w. s. s, JACKSON BOYS The many friends of Frank Reed, W. C.
