Within a few months parts of Weat Virginia where the campaign la moat active expect to roond out a clean-up which will eliminate the acrub butts and leave the purebred* [as monarcha of all they survey. The .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 .bureau have solidly backed up the 1 scrub sire clean-up. "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.

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.

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.

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!
