DO you wish to know some OF the
articles needed by the Red Gross? II so
I can best answer your question by quot
ing the work which is being done. In
New York, one of the relatives OF the
Drexel family has organized an ice plant
auxiliary consisting of twenty-five mem
bers. These members are at work rails
ing a fund of money to provide an ice
factory with a capacity Of one ton Of ice
per day This is to be so arranged as
to regulate the temperature Of the cold
storage room on board the Red cross
hospital ambulance ship.
This ambulance ship, which Is pro-
vided by the Red Cross. accompanies the
white squadron. Sick or wounded sail
ors are taken aboard and cared for. 1t is
of the utmost Importance in these hot
Iatitudes to provide ice for the sick, and
there is no way Of doing it except by the
means Of an Ice factory for the manu-
facture of ice. On last report the fund
had grown to $1,000 as such an under
taking requires a large sum of money.
The women OF the ice plant auxiliary
have plenty of work to do to get enough
money
"But it is not the wealthy alone who
can assist the Red Cross. Women who
know how to do delicate duties with
needle and thread can help. The making
of bandages is very valuable and import

HELPING ABOUT THE HOUSE.
Here is One Man Who had About the
Right Sort of Ideas.


The helpfulness of a good man, when
it comes to assistance in domestic affairs,
is apt to be very much like that of Mr.
Barker, whose exploit is narrated below:
His wife had asked him to hang a pic
ture she had purchased for the parlor,
and he had said he would do it Sin jif-
fy..''
You must get me the cord and a pic
ture hook he said to his wife, "and tell
the servant girl to run down cellar and
bring up the step ladder and carry it into
the parlor; and where's those two little
screw thing -jigs that go into the
back of the frame at the sides to put the
cord through. Look them up for me:
and I'll need the gimlet, or, maybe I can
drive them in with the hammer Johnny,
you run down cellar and get the hammer.
II don't know but a chair will be better
than the step ladder for me to stand on.
Somebody go out into the kitchen and get
me a chair. I don't want to stand on one
of the parlor chairs.
Got that cord? Just masure off about
the right length and fasten it in those lit
tie things at the side
There, now, there's your picture all
! hung up in good shape, and no fuss about
it. The difference between us men and
you women is that when we have any
thing to do we go right ahead and do It,
and make no talk about it."-Youth S

sosiety arc tho fad Of the coy. A good
fad this.
Every city has women who are RED
Cross workers or who are willing 10 De
such; every town has its group OF work
ers; every village has its circle.
To become an auxiliary of the Ameri-
can National Red Cross Society it is only
necessary to write to Miss Clara Barton
Red Cross Headquarters, Washington,
d. c. In reply you will get very nice
letter of advice and you will secure recog-
milton from headquarters. The letter will
contain directions for forwarding goods
to Cuba.
TT is kindly requested. said a member
of the Red Cross. Society the other day,
'that all army work be done through the
Red Cross. This is highly advisable for
several reasons The Red Cross Society
knows what is needed and where it is
needed; it knows where money is valued
and where provisions and clothing would
be better than funds. The Red Cross
keeps posted on army needs, and it adapts
Itself to every situation in soldiers life.
The Red Cross does not claim credit
for the work of forwarding supplies. 1t
is only its business TO do so. 1t thanks
the generous women who donate the
articles and gives them all the credit. 1t
prepares every year a book giving names
of people who are doing work Of relief.

one and a half inches and two inches
wide are needed Also four inch ban
dages.
ITO make bandage you cut the goods
in strips Of the desired width, sewing the
strips together tightly until they meas
ure the length of six yards. 1t will not do
to tear the cotton, as the frayed out
edge makes poor handling for the nurse.
Cut perfectly even and do not hem the
edges Sew together with a perfectly
fiat seam and when completed, roll the
firm and pin with a small pin. Pack
these bandages in boxes of two dozen
each and write to the REQ Cross for in
structions.

able salves and cold creams which can be
made and packed in little jars. Each jar
must have on the outside description

There is the greatest need for toilet

those who are injured in battle-lose

as tiny scissors, brushes, manicure sets

A speciai from Nesw York says:

A special from NesN York says:
Secondary patriotism is the cause Of
the troubles OF Charles Logan and
Charles Clayton, in which Mrs. Rose
2eean is also involved. The Charleses
didn't go to war when the call for vol
unteers came, having, as they expressed
dt, an engagement to stay home and
keep their feet dry. Their friend, Pc
ter Regan, husband of Rose, did go
with the Seyenty-first regiment, and
the patriotism Of the two stay at-homes
was such as impelled them to join in a
noble endeavor to preserve Mrs. Regain
from the woes Of loneliness. Mrs. Re
gan, 1t may be stated as bearing on the
matter in hand, is pleasant to look
upon. She lives at 1872 East Thirty
sixth street.
From time to time Logan and Clay
ton called there, to ask how Peter was
getting on at the front. sometimes
they called separately sometimes TO-
gether. Their visits did not partake of
the angelic quality, few and far be-
tween. AT first the young wife was
pleased with the soliciSude Of her hus-
bands friends as to his welfare, but In
the course of time she became weary
of their visits, which we're longer than

EXPORTS OF CORN.

Corn leads all other American crops in
money valuation, for while its selling
price per bushel is far below that of
wheat. the yearly production is four times
as great. The average crop Of wheat is
not far from 800 900, COO bushels and that of
corn nearly or quite 1000 100000. 1t is a
cheap and healthy article Of food, but I'M
til very recently has made little Roadway

surplus ever since the close of the war

the past ten years has there been any
considerable export Of corn.
During the past ten years the growth
in the foreign demand for American corn
has been continuous, although far from
uniform. In 1888 the exports reached
25,360, 500 bushels. In the following wear
they rose to 20, 673 bushels, and in IN.
reached 1903 AS. 10 bushels. For the next
five years the exports varied betwean
2S0O0, 900 and 76Lp9 900 bushels, but in ,gs
they passed the 100, 100000 mark again and
have not fallen below that figure since
In 1897 the exports reached ITS ST.. 4O7 hush
els and for the first ten MONTHS of the
current fiscal year the shipments have
been 166, 492, $50 bushels. The shipments for
May, which exceeded 100000 bushels per
day, are not included in these figures
and as the exports of corn are still heevv
there is no doubt that the figures for the
year will exceed 200n00O0 bushels and
beat all former records
Tee Importance of this growth in the
foreign demand for oaIr corn cannot be
overestimated. 1t is our greatest grain
crop, can be grown on nearly every foot
af arabic land between the Dominion line
ana the Gul1 OF MEXICO, and is less liable
to damage from frost, drought and in
sect pests than any other grain crop
grown In the country The greatest draw
back to it's cultivation heretofore has been
that In a good corn year we could not
use it all ourselves, and our neighhors
preferred our wheat to our corn. With
the foreign consumption exceeding 200
100000 bushels a year we are in a fair
way to get rid of our surplus, for a for
egn demand of these dimensions indicates
that a great many people across the water
are finding out that corn is good to eat
