Elec tricity keeps step with time. While work has always been the text of the American creed, drudgery spells death to development. Our pioneer ancestors literally chopped their farms from the wil derness with a broadaxe. They ploughed the ground with crooked sticks and harrowed it with logs. Nature yielded her bounty to them reluctantly and farm work was never easy. Their tenacious struggle to exist, to build and to expand, will long be remembered in song and story. Improved labor methods were never disdained, however, and oc casional individual prejudices against change were speedily submerged in the wave of general welfare. The pioneers beat their muskets into plough shares and progressed. The same spirit of progress exists to day, and farm families are as eager as ever to scrap the laborious methods of their forefathers in fa vor of easier and more efficient methods of work. Work Made Easier During the course of our develop ment science stepped down from his lofty pinnacle and became prac tical. He figuratively scratched his head, and things began to hum dynamos and things. Science made electricity the medium for taking drudgery out of work. Farmers of today see no particu lar virtue in grinding feed or pump ing water by hand when electricity will do the work cheaper and eas ier. But to literally millions of this hard-working group, hand pow er is, even yet, the only available power. And, as to farmers' wives, our revered great-grandmothers probably worked no harder than they. Housekeeping is only part of the farm women's job. When the city woman gets her husband off to his office in the morning, and the children off to school, she might sometimes find herself wondering what to do. The farm woman is never in doubt. If she does not get to her garden, the bugs will. Her butter does not come wrap ped in celophane, nor is the family milk supply delivered in bottles. Eggs mean money to the farmer's wife, but the hens will not lay un less they are fed. Shocking, but accurate, figures disclose that there are over five and one-half million farm houses, or over 80 per cent of the total number, in our "modern" country without running water supply. That means that there is water in the average farm home only when some one carries it in and that some one is usually Mother. The wood pile, for no good reason, is usually about as far from the house as the well, and some one steps off that distance regularly if meals are to be ready when the gong rings. Electric power will "bring the spring to the back door" and into the house to an inside bathroom and a modern kitchen. It will give safe light wherever it is wanted, and it means relief from drudgery. Yet, many farmers who are eager to electrify their farms, hesitate at the thought of the cost. The ini tial outlay for line extensions and the thought of the monthly bills sometimes seems too much. Then too, they know that equipment costs money. Assistance Offered To give them a lift over these financial hurdles, the federal gov ernment has set up two organiza tionsthe Rural Electrification Ad ministration and the Electric Home and Farm Authority to make loans for building power lines and to fi nance, at a low rate, wiring, pump and plumbing installations, and electric equipment. REA loans, to be repaid from the earnings of the lines over a 20-year period, carry a low interest rate of three per cent. Write to the Rural Electrification Administration in Washington, D. C, for further information con cerning its plan. Frankly A bewildered man entered a la dies' specialty shop. "I want a corset for my wife," he said. "What bust?" asked the clerk. "Nothin'.

RED CROSS IS SHORT OF GOAL 153 Memberships Report ed; Annual Roll Call Ends Today With the campaign scheduled to end today, the annual roll call of the Macon county chapter of the American Red Cross is short of its goal of 200 members. The Rev. Frank Bloxham, roll call chairman, reported Tuesday that memberships received this week brought the total reported since the campaign started on Ar mistice Day to 153. He said some workers, however, had not report ed, expressing a confident hope that when they did it would be found that the goal had been sur passed. Fifty-five memberships have been reported at Highlands and 98 in Franklin, a total of 153. New members reported this week were: Franklin Miss Mary C. Bissell, Miss Elizabeth Fitzsimmons, Miss Nora Leach, Mrs. Miza Crawford, Mrs. Lassie Kelly Cunningham, Mrs. Furman Angel, Mrs. Lola Barrington. Highlands Mrs. Frank B. Cook, Frank B. Cook, Mrs. A.

FRANK BLOXHAM (Chairman, Maoon County Roll Call) Throughout the year the- local chapter of the American Red Cross has answered all calls that have been made to it and none has been turned away without some thing being done to meet the need. What has been accomplished has been very much worth while. Spe cial shoes were bought for a little child who had been operated uo- on for club feet and whose par ents were unable to provide them. We helped three families who had heen burnt out to get clothing, bed clothing and shoes for the family. We provided a tubercular patient with the necessary clothing, toilet articles, underwear, etc., so that he could get to a sanitarium. A number of pellagra patients were supplied with yeast and ar rangements were made whereby several hundred pounds of yeast were supplied at cost to pellagra sufferers through the drug stores. A family which badly needed a nurse and was unable to pay for one was furnished with a nurse for several days through the local chapter. Sheets, nightgowns and towels were provided for a lady who had no income of her own and. had been bed ridden for a number of years. Work in School Arrangements have beep made for the purchase of Red Cross kits to be placed in every school bus of the county and we are hopeful of having a Red Cross fjrst aid course for the drivers so that in case of accident they will be prepared to meet the need. Thus may be prevented the sad spec tacle of children bleeding to death or otherwise suffering unduly should an accident occur. Later, if funds permit, we hope to have a first aid kit in every school in the county, if not in every class room. Through the junior Red Cross it is our aim to train the children in simple rules for safety at home, at school and on the highways and to teach them simple remedies for the care of burns, nose bleeding, scratches and many other small accidents which befall even the most careful household and which, if left without care, may result in later painful issues. The local chapter of the Red Cross is always ready to help de serving cases but we cannot help if we know nothing about the need. In this roll call my attention has been called to several cases where we have been criticised for giving no help, and upon further investigation I have learned that we have never been approached for aid in those cases. Criticism of this sort is hardly right when we, as a chapter, are seeking to be a good neighbor to all and do what we can with such limited funds as the public gives to us year by year in the annual roll call. A Small Quota If every one in the county who could do so would become a mem ber of the Red Cross the work possible would be almost unlimited. A membership of 200 in a popula tion of 14,000 seems almost nothing when we recall the benefits to mankind at large from the services of the American Red Cross. The late Will Rogers said of the Red Cross : "The Red Cross! is the only thing J can think of in Amer ica that we couldn't possibly get along without. If the people only knew one-half of its worth we could raise any sum of money in 24 hours." I have tried in the past weeks to bring before you some of the things that Red Cross seeks to do all the 'year round. Much has been left unsaid but I trust that the readers of this paper have a clearer view as to its aims. Let us no longer look upon it merely as a relief organization giving away flour. If you have hot joined this year, do so right now. The final list of members will appear next week. See that your name is included.
