Weat Virginia where the campaign la

clean-up which will eliminate the
acrub butts and leave the purebred*

.case of Roane county. W. Va, is an ex
ample of what Weat Virginia stockmen :
accomplish when they go over the top.
The Uve stock specialists of the State
agricultural college, the county 1 agent
and officers of the Roane County farm

"Not a single man turned us down,"
.remarked the live stock specialist In
I telling how the campaign to oust the
j scrub# was conducted.
"The first of the year our local
{stockmen made a declaration of Inde
ipendeuce against scrub bulls, and work
,was begun promptly In taking a thor
ough bull census. This Investigation of
islre ancestry showed that there were
1200 bulla In the county, of which 102
were misfit grades and scrubs, while
to were registered pure-breds. There
were 57 registered Hereford s, 28 regis
tered Angus, and IS registered Short
horns. Fortunately, the arniy of 102
grade* and scrubs was not as formid
able as It looked on the paper, because
00 of these low grade sires were year
lings. Furthermore, the census showed
that there were only SO men who
actually made a practice of keeping a
; scrub bull."

Terse Review of What Red Cross Has
Done and Now Is Doing on
Peace Working Basis
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 00.—Public spirits
ed men and women by thousands in the
five states of the Soathern Division
of the American Red Cross, are lay
ing their plans to break all member
ship records for the Red Cross when
the Fourth ' Annual Roll Call Is held
from November 11 to November 25.
From every part of Georgia, Florida,
North Carolina,' South Carolina and
Tenneaaee comes the report that com
munity after community is organized
for the Roll Call, and that many are
only awaiting the word "Go!" to get
their quota of members on the very
first day.
The Roll Call It expected to be start
ed by the renewal of memberships by
every chapter worker in the division.
There are 128 chapters organized for
the Roll Call, and many more that are
expected to complete their organiza
tion before Armistice Day, when the
Roll Call opens.
The Roll Csll Opens
Memberships in the Red Cross are
of five different classes, the annual
$1; the contributing, |S; the sustain
ing,' $10: the life, SSO; and the pa
tron, SIOO. Any one can join under
any one of these different classes la
the Fourth Roll Call.
Bail* of Quotas
Quotas for* the Fourth Roll Call
have been based not on population, but
on the plana of the different chapters
for the coming year and their actual
financial needs. The money, too, will
be spent largely right where it la sub
scribed.
Of the annual memberships of sl,
fifty cents is kept by tho chapter; of
the contributing membership of $5,
$4 is kept by the chapter; of the sus
taining memberahip of $lO, $8 is kept
by the chapter; of the life mombar
ahip of $60., and the patron member
ahip of SIOO, the chapter sends the
entire returns to Washington, where
the Interest is usqd to carry on the
national work of the Red Croft.
To those who are not as familiar
as others with the wopk of the Red
Cross since the war, A brief review
will give an idea of what tLe Red
Cross has "done In the paat two years
and what it expects to accomplish
for America In the next few years
to come.
The Mkn In Uniform.
It has held, course. as it* first
and most sacred duty its obligation
to the man in uniform and to the men
who fought and served for America
in the world war. Red Cross has con
tinued to serve the American Expedi
tionary Forces In Germany. Red Cross'
has continued to keep up its service
to the 25,000 men at American mili
tary poets, at all of which it n-aln
tf Ins a personnel to help out the boys
In difficulties of bonus and back pay
and transportation and the like, to
iaip In family problems, to assist
them In recreation and entertainment,
to be, In short, the same "great moth
er" to them that the Red Cross was
to the man overseaa In 1917 and 1918.
Besides such service. Red Cross has
given its care and attention to 63,-
000 former service men taking treat
ment in United States public health
h capital a, it haa put practically every
man blinded In the world war Into the
Red Cross Institute for the blind at
' Baltimore, It haa kept in touch with
80,000 returned soldiers and their faml
-11 ea to give them help when It was
most needed. For the fiscal year end
ing laat June SO, It spent $8,800,000 In
military relief in the United States, ex
elusive ef money spent by chapters la
similar service.
Tlm* MM* tm ft* Ores# work
the military. To othbr citizens-—the
: afflicted, the diseased, the disaster
stricken—Red Cross has been the
i friend, the shield, the helifetf
Red Cross health work has been
one of the prime fetors in its p«*ce
program, and will continue to be push
■ ed on an even greater and more uni
> versally beneficial scalq. One has but
i to mention the 15,000 Red Cross nurses
■ who were on duty during the influen
za epidemic last year, to'inspire {he
■ people to rejoin the Red Cross, if
> only to carry on such splendid work
as this.
* 16,000 Health Centers
Then there are the health centers
the Red Cross has inaugurated in
j about 15,000 communities, through
which health education has been
! spread, disease checked and many of
the 760,000 annual deaths in the
United States from remedial causes
prevented. More than one thousand
Red Cross nurses are working in the
rural communities of America, where
their services are most in demand.
More of this work than ever will be
done by the Red Cross next year,
and it is hoped to put a public health
nurse in every county where the need
( is great and the people sufficiently
t interested.
Much other splendid work has been
done and will continue to be done by
, the Red Cros» in teaching people how
L to get well and keep well. There are
First Aid classes of the Red Cross,
which taught more than a million
| Americans last year what to do be
. fore the doctor comes. The toll of
| deaths in America from accidents
I each year is more than 100,000, of
j whom 7,000 are drowned. The Red
Cross has been-particularly active in
the South in organizing Life Saving
corps to stop such lamentable and
j preventable loss of life as this. Many
Southern papers in the past year have
' carried accounts of rescues at beachea
t and lakes where life was saved by Sad
Cross first alders. Other classes of
this character that have accomplished
j spjendld work are the classes in
j hygiene and care of the sick, and
( classes "in home dietetics, In which
. last year more than 90,000 women and
girls of America learned how to oare,
t for the sick people in their homes
f and what ia best for the family to eat
, in order for the members to keep!
( fall and strong,
i Right On Ths Job
i Disaster relief has been the Job of
Red Cross for many years past.
During the Wall street explosion not
i so long ago. Red Cross was on ths
i job with doctors and nurses almost
i aa soon as the police and as a re
i suit a number of Uvea were saved out
■ right and many wounded people kept
- from being Invalids and cripples for
i life. People In the South will recall
i the numbers of times when Red Cros«
■ has been the only relief and helper in
- time of flood and fire in several com
i munitlea. In the 39 years of Its ex
r istence Red Cross has given relief in
I 250 floods, fires, tornadoes and other
t disasters and last year alone it gave
, aid to more than 30,000 unfortunates
• in 150 different communities.
• While so much has been done by
;. Red Cross in America in the laat two
i years, it has not stopped administer
• ing wise, economical but unstinted aid
, to starving peoples in other lands. By
i fighting typhus, cholera, tuberculosis
r and other horrible diseases in fever
t ridden European countries. Red Cross
t haa aaved thousands of lives, pertlc
-1 ularly those of,women and children
I- who had no one else to turn to save
• the "greatest mother in the world."
This is the sort of work Red
i Cross has been doing. TMs Is the

peal for memberships in the Fourth
Red Cross Roll Call, Novemebr 11-35,
hot simply on the. general worthiness
of the Red Cross cause, but on the
specific work Red Cross has done for
the state in the last two years since
the signing of the armistice.
They declare, in letters to Division
headquarters here, their confidence
that, once the people of North Caro
lina, realize the actual servioe Red
Cross has given them in peace as well
as in war, and the fact that such serv
ice can be continued and broadened
on a greater scale * than ever with
proper support, they will eagerly re
new their memberships, and will
do all In their power to secure a reo
ord membership throughout the state.
In order to emphasise the splendid
asset the Red Cross has been to North
Carolina since the war, they have
made a report on Red Cross work in
North Carolina, which was given out
at Division headquarters here re
cently.
"The first mission of the Red Cross
in North Carolina, as the country
The report says in part:
over, has been to care for the inter
ests of the ex-service man and his
family. This duty the Red Croas has
discharged since the war at the rate
of 1,840 cases—soldiers' and sailors'
families —a month, assisted in a varie
ty of ways. In addltloft, the Red Cross
has been able in North Carolina to
help 769 civilians or. civilians' fami
lies, to put the state's public pursing
service on a firm footing, to install
22 public health nurses in the state,
conduct 175 classes in home hygiene
and care of the sick, teach more than
t«000 students, these principles and
knowledge of dietetics, look after the
tubercular soldiers at Otßen, teach
first aid in high schools and colleges,
train a large number of social serv
ioe workers, and interest more than
■ 36,000 North Carolina children in the
work of the Junior Red Cross."
The report states there are 132 Red
Cross chapters in North Carolina, with
a total membership of about 96,000
and with 134 full-time secretaries and
workers, of whom 8 are trained work
ers, 33 are paid workers, and the rest
are volunteers. •
