Fifty cents of the dollar is retained by the chapter, for chapter work. The other fifty cents goes to the national headquarters in Washington, to keep up the national work of the Red Cross. In this connection, it is interesting to note that the Red Cross last year spent more in the south than it received frohi the south in money for member ships. The budget for next year con templates a similar program in the south. The southern division of the Red Cross consists of the states of North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Geor gia and Florida. Headquarters of the division at Atlanta, in- order to show just how the money given the Red Cross is spent in the south, has pre pared a detailed statement, showing one month's activities in the division. . This month is typical of Red Cross work in the southern1 division.' From the summary of its activities, Red Cross members may gain a concrete illustration of the work their member ship fees will help to keep going through the coming year. During this .month the Red Cross had sixty-one nursing services operat ing in various parts of the division, employing a total of seventy - four nurses. Four new services were es tablished by chapters during the month, one service was reopened, five were withdrawn, and, in addition, the Red Cross placed one nurse, paying her salary, with another organization that had started health work in that particular community. That is the pol icy of the Red Cross to do health work where it is most needed, and, where others are doing the same work, not to competo with them, but to help them as far as possible. - The mirsing department of the Red Cross has a bureau called the bureau of instruction, engaged in promoting healtlf work. This bureau organized fourteen classes in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick during the month. Altogether, thirty-five classes in this subject were in operation in the di vision during the month; two hundred and fifty-two new students were en rolled and one hundred and seventy women and girls completed the in SENATOR HARD ING'S ELECTION New York World: The American people wanted ' a hange, and they have voted for a change. They did not kow what kind of a change they wanted, and they do not know to-day what kind of a change they have voted for.

Typical Month. struction. The bureau of dietetics, through which classes are organized to teach women and girls the right sort of food to cook and serve to make good health, carried on instruction work, during the month at such places as Converse College at Spar tanburg, S. C, the West Tennessee State Normal School and Winthrop College in North Carolina. The bu reau reported the appointment of a city dietitian at Nashville, Tenn., where the Red Cross Chapter set aside $2,000 for her salary and $500 for incidental expenses in connection with nutrition work. The bureau, in co-operation with other divisions, put on an exhibit in health at the Tri State fair at Memphis, Tenn. Wile such work as this was being done in the field of health by the Red Cross, it was equally active in its work for returned soldiers and their families and similar work for civilian. families in like need of help. The Red Cross had 2,081 new cases of this sort dur ing the month, and reopened 1,580 old cases, a total of 3,661 cases. An idea of the number of soldiers and civilians helped in the different states may be gained from the following report for the month: Georgia, 1,006 soldiers' families aid ed, 65 civilian families aided; Florida, 1,941 soldiers' families aided ana 570 civilian families aided; North Caro lina, 1,062 soldiers' families aided and 68 civilian families aided; South Car olina, 1,431 soldiers' families aided, 241 civilian families aided; Tennessee, 1, 093 soldiers', families aided and 44 ci vilian families aided. A total of $3,: 691 in financial aid was extended to soldiers' families, and $1,230 to civil ian families. First aid was taught by the Red Cross during the month in classes at the Middle Tennessee Normal and In dustrial school at Murfreesboro, Tenn., the Asheville Summer school at Ashe ville, N. C, the University of Florida at Gainesville, Fla., the Tennessee A and I. State Normal school at Nashville, and the A. and E. . college at West Raleigh, Nf C, New students to the number of 144 were enrolled in these classes, and first aid certifi cates, showing the holder was profit cient in first aid principles, were giv en to 135 students. Life saving corji3 were organized by the Red Cross during the month at a number of places, and other corps, previously organized, did f.'ne work at some of the beache3.

Red Cross is ready to respond' to cities stricken by fire, flood' tornado or "" pestilence. Because the schools were closed -during this month thpre were "no activities of the Junio" Red Crcs3 to report, but - with tr.i opening of the schools in September thousands of children throughout thr southeast joined" in various helpfu plans of the Junior Red Cross.

The boys were made to feel that the Red Cross work ers were their friends, that they bad some one to go to, some one who "'f elf a sympathetic interest in their wel fare. ' . ' ' ' The Red Cross also did , work at six United "States public health hos pitals in the southernr division, and served United States public health ser vice patients at eight other hospitals of which they were inmates.

E. Trevathan. Last year the meeting was held - in the eastern part of the state and the officers chose Salisbury this year beacuse it is centrally locat ed for the majority of the hog, cattle, poultry and sheep breeders. The first day of the meeting will be given over to talk and demonstration about hogs; the second , day to dairy and poultry interests; and the third and last day will be in charge of the beef cattle and sheep men. The program, although not yet com pleted, contains . several notable speakers Starting with Wednesday December 8 "Swine Day" the program-includes a talk by Dr, Tait But ler of the Progressive Farmer tn. "Feeding Hogs." In the af ternooi there will be public sales of poultry and hogs and demonstrations in slaughtering hogs, inoculation against hog cnolera, and making sausage. The night program, in addition to moving pictures pertaining to swine interests, features an address by Dr. Clarence Poe of the Progressive Farmer. YOUR BABY, ALL BABIES If the average moter was told that she did not know how to raise her baby, that her acts of omission and commission daily, endangered the life of her loved ones five times as great asj those unflinchingly faced by our brave soldiers - in the Argonne, she not only would be highly indignant but likely would mentally class you win. the ancient Ananias. It probably will be a distinct shock to all mothers to know that statistics show that only one in forty American fighters were killed in the Argonne, whearas out of every -eight babies born in this coun try every year one dies. Which is but another way of saying that it is more dangerous, five times more dangerous,, to be a baby nowadays than , to be a fighting man. ; ' V V However, the' fault does not atually rest with the mother. The big majori ty of infant' dfeathsf sta tisticsshcrwi occuring during the first week or month, are attributed to improper care of mothers and babies at birth and im mediately following birth. But here comes the real rub: Most of this vast infant morality is directly due to unhealtful and unsanitary con dition of the communities in which they live. There are various ways of remedy ing such community evils, but just now operating plans and plans in course of construction by Red Cross afford a very practical and certain avenue of relief. Home and commun ity service figure large in the peace program of the society, and 'as we gave to Red Cross to assist her insav ing the lives of our soldiers, - so should we now give to assist her in saving the future citizens of the na tion. Red Cross fourth membership roll call, if for no other reason than the abaolition or reduction of infant mor tality, should make instant appeal to all.

Red Cross is Helping Them Atlanta Ga., Nov. 4. .Where arv the soldiers ofLAmerica who gave their eyes for their country in the world war? That question was answered today ! in a statement given out at a southern division headquarters of the Red Cross on the work of the Red Cross for ser vice men and ex-service men "since the war. This statement says in part: "More than two hundred men gave their eyes as their contribution to America's war effort two hundred men who in all honor are entitled to receive, if nor recompense, at least Teparation in preparation for the fu ture, from the country for which they made their sacrifice. And America was not slow to recognize her obligation, Land that obligation found expression in an American Red Cross Institute for the Blind at Evergreen, Md. More than one-half of all the American blinded in the world , war have come to Evergreen. . Blindness, of course, is a unique condition unique in the helplessness it produces; unique in the possibilities it affords. In many ways the blinded man has to learn how to live all over again. He has to learn to walk, to stand, to at, to shavehimself , to dress himself , to perform the thousand things that the seeing mantak'es for granted. He must do all these things before he can take up any vocational preparation. Contrary to widespread opinion, blindness does not, bring to a man the compensating abilities that he other wise lacked. What it does do is to cause him to develop senses and abil ities that would otherwise have been latent, just as a man who has lost his right , hand learns to write with his eft.;i ; ,:.' V:..J.;V Out" that "fact has "come the" de-i velopment of lines of instruction and possibilities of activity that are won derful, not only in their results, but in the production of well-rounded men who, despite their blidness, are in every way equipped ,to meet the social, civic economic requirements of the communities in which they live." ANNUAL RED CROSS ROLL CALL Warren county is not making a "drive" for the Red Cross. We are simply asking the membership to re new and continue the great work the Red Cross is doing. This is the only method we can pursue to keep alive the humane work of the Red Cross This work should appeal to each of us.
