SACK OF FLOUR
OF SHRINER’S
MAKES MONEY
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19. — The
Shriners* Red Cross Sack of Flour
started by Clarence F. Pratt, histor
ian of Islam Temple Mystic Shrines
of San Francisco, has traveled 9000
miles and been sold thirteen times.
The thirteenth sale by Bagdad Tem
ple of Shriners at Butte, Montana,
amounting to $7,100 was the largest
yet held, although Algeria Temple at
Helena, Montana, sold the sack one
week earlier .December 7th) for $5,
100, and Aloha Temple at Honolulu
sold it in July last for $1,086.
After each sale the flour has been
returned to the Shriners to be sent
on to the next temple to be resold.
Mark Twain in “Roughing It" says
the famous Gridley $275,000 Civil
War Sack of Flour traveled fifteen
thousand miles. The Shriner’s sack
is to visit every Temple of Mystic
Shriners* sack is to visit every Tem
ple of Mystic Shriners in North
America and it is estimated it will
have traveled seventy-five thousand
miles,jor three times around the globe.
The Red Cross sack has now travel-'
ed from California to Honolulu and
back, to Ohio, Alabama, Montana and
Wyoming, and now has a value of
$15,038, all of which has been turned
over to the American Red Cross. The|
flour will be sold by Korein Temple!
at Rawlins, Wyoming, about January
fifteenth and by Khedive Temple at
Norfolk, Virginia, on February fifth. I
From Virginia, it will be sent to
Kentucky, Michigan, and Kansas.
The Shriners of Islam Temple of
Sail Francisco, who have charge of

will net the Red Cross from half to
three quarters of a million dollars.
John D. McGilvray, Potentate of
Islam Temple will take the sack to
the Imperial Council of Shriners at
Atlantic City next June.

HOT SHOWER BATHS
being furnished for
HUNDREDS OF RECRUITS
EL PASO, Tex., Jan. 19. — Hot
shower baths are being furnished by *
the local Y. M. C. A., to the hundreds
of recruits who are passing through

the war service work being done here.

one and one-half hours between trains
here, were rushed through the asso

'BUSS RAILLERY
DEPICTS SOME
OF CONDITIONS
PETROGRAD, Jan. 19. — The Bir
shevaya Vyedomosti indulges in sar
castic raillery at prevailing conditions
by propounding a number of problems
in the form of arithmetical exercises.
Heie is one of the problems:
“In the city of A the public prose
cutor, B., arrested the suspicious in
dividual, C. On the following day
the Bolshevik D arrested the prosecu
tor, for which reason D was in turn
arrested by the temporary govern
ment commissioner E. Thereupon F,
the chairman of the revolutionary
committee, arrested E. How far down
the alphabet will the arrests reach in
24 hours, and how long will it be be
fore persons whose names begin with
X and Z are arrested,”
Another is: “A Bolsheviki delegate
departs from the city of A to attend
a democratic conference. A Manshe
vik delegates leaves the city B at the
same time to attend the same confer
once. When will these delegates start
pulling each other’s hair and how
many resolutions will they propose?”
Following are others of the satiri
cal propositions propounded.
“An internationalist, writes for a
newspaper and receives 1,000 roubles
for each article. How many deliber
ately false reasons for an immediate
peace must be present, if every rcaspn
is paid for at the rate of five marks
apiece, assuming that five marks
equal eight roubles and forty co
pecks?”
“A democratic conference progress
es at the rate of 129 resolutions per
hour, while the Germans advance at
the rate of only ten versts a day.
Which of the warlike masses will first
reach its goal?”
“There are 8,000 casks of brandy
in the depot at A, and the city’s gar
rison has 40,000 troops, all teetotall
ers. How long will it take the teeto
tallers to drink up all the libuor, and
how long will it be after that beforo
the municipality decided to destroy all
alcoholic drinks?”
The newspaper concludes: “Persons
sending in a correct solution will re
ceive one minister-president’s portfo
lio.”
