RICHER LIFE SOUGHT
BY FARMING PEOPLE
Comfortable Home. Leisure for
Worth While Pleasures, Would
Come With Electric Service.
' ... -
mat it the enrichment of life.
In all that this term represents, which
the average farmer hopes electricity
will ultimately bring him is the reflective
opinion of II. W. Riley, professor
of rural engineering of the New
York State College of Agriculture.
Professor Riley, who has lived with
farmers and studied their problems
for years, appreciates that the immediate
ambition of the farmer, in respect
to electricity, is to obtain a 1
larger cash return from his farming; i
but he maintains that the farmer j
looks beyond this, and haR in his mind,
as the iinal goal, a greater share of
tho stimulating social and mental possibilities
of life, which he hopes will ;
eomo with an increased cash return.
Showing that so far as getting
through season after season of farm
work ana actually producing marketable
crops Is concerned, the farmer
could doubtless "get along" if he
never secured electric power. Prof. [
Riley asks why. then, is there such j
an insistent tiemauu for rnral electric I
lines and what Is the real service that
electricity from auch lines la to
render?
"The answer to these questions,"
he asserts, "can be found readily
enough when It is realized that the
farmer's central objective in life is
the maintenance of an Independent1
and comfortable home, where he and i
his wife may live, where his children
may grow up strong in body and reKnnrrpfnl
In mind ?nd '
live in peace to the end of bia days.
"Money mast come in reasonable
amounts sometime*, to be sure, or,1
like any other man, he will not count
hla work successful, but money is of
value to him mainly as It enables
him to improve his farm sad borne
and to enjoy some of the pleasures
and amenities of modem life. The
ready sale of automobiles and small
electric light plants to farmers, the
extension of country telephone lines,
the demand far rural free delivery of
mail are instaaeas that prove this
point. Now interest is starting to
conceatrate an the extension of electric
power lines Into the country for
tbe rery evident reason that the
whole farming population have seen
what electricity has done In the cities
and they want the same benefits for
themselves.
"The farmers want electricity mainly
because they know that it will
make their lives oeiUx worth Irving.
They do not want It to cost too
much because cash money is scarce
with them, but they want it mainly
for what It will do for tbsra and not
primarily beranne of a possible low
cost for the service."

These Men Everywhere.
Washington.?The need of ladjrldial
assistance by ex service men and
heir families from the Red Cros3 is J
is pressing today as it was irnmeliately
after the end of the World '
ivar. For six years this work lias j
>een foremost of all Red Cross ser- ,
riccu, an-1 in emphasizing the steady (
public support of this work the Keri i
Cross National Headquarters urges
die largest enrollment this year during
the membership campaign opening
on Armistice Day, November 1L
Nearly four million dollars of Ked
Cross funds spent for disabled veterans
and their dependents during the '
year ended June 30 la.it presents somo
Idea of the magnitude of this work. '
The current year, it is estimated, will
sail for still further disbursements of
fands for the reason that the Red
Cross, through more than 3,300 Chapters
in as many communities in the '
United States, has been called upon J
to help the ex-service men in making 1
out their applications for the adjusted 1
compensation granted in the so-called
bonus law.
38,767 Soldier Cases a Month
The Red Cross work for the disabled
soldier is designated "borne service."
for it gives individual attention |
to the man and his family approximating
the interest and loving care
of the home. Such service in the hospitals,
camps, soldiers' homes and
sanatoria, averaged 33,931 cases a
month during the year. Assistance
to ex-service men and their depen- |
dents averaged 38.767 cases a month.
In addition, the Red Cross in the last
twelve months provided 33,000 recre- I
ation and entertainment events In the
hospitals and camps.
Thus the Red Cross, symbolized as
the "Greatest Mother," still watches '
over these many thousands of men,
comforts them, helps to lighten the tedium
of their physical reconstruction,
and ia their homos lifts some of the
burdens from their "own people."
Work in Communities Increases
The home service of the Red Cross
was uie iuosl pressing duty c? ?.? #
Chapters, an increase of 182 communities
where problems affected by the
war veteran's condition required aoiuiion
through immediate end intelll- I
gent assistance. The Chapters alone
expended some 32.00U.000 in this '
work.
The transient disabled soldier, usually
suffering from disability or tuberculosis.
is almost everywhere a grave
problem. From national funds the !
past year $173,076.36 was expended In I
helping the Chapters to care for these
wandering men.
According to government report j
there are 4.300 veterans in civilian in-1
stltntions, and in the national homes
for nfllrl lore lha annrmllaaHa*- ?
creasing. The large groups of pa- I
tlents whose claims have been dlsal- {
lowed, of veterans of foreign wars,
and the great nnmber of men permanently
resident in these institutions I ^
call for Bed Cross work which can- '
not he avoided nor denied.
Definite Service to 73,700
Of a total of 84,500 ex-servlco men ,
In hospitals and other institutions 73,-!
700 were rendered a definite and spe-1
clalized service by the Red Cross. '
In a single month 4.1S5 new cases
were presented and a total of 20,125 |
~ac acted epoi*?figures which serve
to illustrate the magnitude of the in- 1
formation and claims service engag-]
tag the attention of Red Cross work- i
ers. New veteran legislation amending
tho War Rtsk act which extends
many additional rights to disabled exservice
men will reopen thousands of
cases and require still greater Rod
Cross service.
When CoogroH. ?-ranted a charter
to the A merle r Red Cross it charged
the organixatic n with the dnty to act
as "the medium of communication between
the American people and their
Array and Navy." This responsibility
to the ealisted men <tnd their families
is met every year without restriction. J
Serves Men on Active Service
The extent of this Red Cross activity
during the last year embraced a
total of 195,248 cases. There were
56.995 separate soldiers' and sailors' >
claims; 20.316 investigations of home
conditions; 11.421 cases related to discharges.
furloughs, etc. Assistance
was given In 3D.6M Instances for per- J
sonal. business or family problems;
744.220 visits were made to the sick
or disabled, and nearly 40.0U0 letters
and telegrams dispatched to the ]
homes of enlisted men.
From Jur.e to September at the nn- I
mprous w:l:ia.y training camps tiu
Red Cross provided information and
home service to the trainees, also in
structton In Ptrst Aid and Life-Saving.
