RED CROSS PLkA E
 WIPED bY NATIONAL
 FIRE UNDERWRITERS

"A Red Cross Service Flag in l. :. GOO,cOO American Homes Christmas Eve With Lighted Candle Denina it"
 This was the slogan of the Red Cross Christmas membership drive, which began Dec. II. But the slogan has been altered slightly. If every patriotic American does his or her auty the l5.oO0.oo0 service flags will be displayed, but-there will be no can, dies behind them, that is. if the Ma tlonal Board of Fire Underwriters has it's way.
 The service flag-candle idea had been exploited in thousands of news papers throughout the United States and hundreds of thousands of patriots had provided themselves with candles after receiving service flag upon joining the Red Cross. Then the un- derwriters issued warning to na- tional headquarters of the Red Cross. at Washington, to the effect that light flags in millions of homes on Christ mas eve would involve fire hazard Of such proportions that hundreds of fires might result
 It has been suggested by Red Cross headquarters that every member of the organization display his flag in q front window of his home between the hours of 2 and 9 o'clock Christ mas eve, but that the candle be dis pensed with. Instead, 1t is suggested that curtains be removed from the windows so that the ordinary lighting in the room may illuminate the seryl ice flag. If an electric flashlight is available that may be placed behind the service flag with safety.

More evidence of the prompt dis patch with which the American Red Cross, which opens it's Christmas mem bership drive for 100000 more mem bers in the Southwest division Mon day, Dec. IF, continuing until 'ist' mas eve, rushes relief to the stricken is revealed in the Halifax disaster.

 immediate Relief Steps-
 Immediately following receipt of news of the holocaust in Washington the Military Relief and Civilian Relief departments of the Red Cross were in telegraphic communication with their representatives at the scene of the disaster, and with the Red Cross work. CTS in New York and Boston were making ready the relief trains.
 Aboard the relief trains were nurses and doctors connected with the Public Safety Committee of the state of Mas sachusetts. all of whom had experi- ence at the Salem and Chelsea fires few years ago.
 The special train which left New York. flying the Red Cross flag and marked Relief for Halifax" consisted of four baggage cars and coach. There was one carload of food. two and one half carloads of clothing and one-ha carload of surgical supplies.
 Rush Food and Clothing
 Among tho specific relief supple rushed to Halifax were 10000 blan- kets, 800 cots, 100 cases of clothing, cotton, 20 cases of bandages, slip pill low cases. 10000 sweaters. 5000 socks, warm clothes for children, coffee, canned soup, condensed milk, flour, 60 cases of surgical supplies and 20 cases of disinfectant
 An entire base hospital. with nurses, doctors and full equipment. accom- panied the train from Boston. This base hospital had 800 beds.
 As soon as it was known that great disaster had taken place officials of the Red Cross got in touch with Nova Scotia authorities. The following tefe- gram was sent to the Mayor of Hali- fax:
 American Red Cross is ready and anxious to render service and assist ancc. Will you indicate what is most needed and most practical that We might do?"

 THE VAR HOSPITALS

Wfat the American Red Cross hos. p.tal supply service means in increas ing the effectiveness of many of the war hospitals in France is shown ir l message recently received by Dr Harvey Cushing of Boston, in charge of a base hospital behind the British lines in France. Major Cushing wrote in part:
 : Il cannot tell you how cheered was when 1 found how we'll organized the Red Cross was in Paris and what a great start you had made.
 When an American officer could actually walk into the warehouse you Lad taken over and find Squibhs and Mallinckrodt' ether, bathrobes. ad Lesive plaster, aspirin, surgical in struments, kerosene lamps. canvas aprons, aspirating needles and many other things which our camps happen to need, for the first time began to realize what the Red Cross might be able to do for waifs like ourselves over here.
 Tt all goes to show what an enor. mously important part the Red Cross will undoubtedly come to play as more persons come over and Gu. af fairs overseas get more and more complicated
 Unquestionably countless emergen cies will arise and sudden calls such as ours will be made for odd aid di verse things; and l hope that we may see huge storehouses established un der you where these in need can get the supplies which are absolutely es sential to their work-Whether it be an automobile or hypodermic needle.
 "Certainly the people at home will subscribe with their accustomed lib. oraity to an organization of thi; kind ;2Hd you will do as much toward win hing the war as the men who carry the rifles"

PAGES WEEKLY LETTER
That New Gin Law Explained

law is embraced in the new
 Warehouse and Marketing law.
 In a nut shell the law charges all l public gins with a public wse,
 which means that they are for
 public service and are subject to regulation, the same as railroads
 and other public utilities; that
 they shall be licensed and bond
 ed at a rate of one dollar for each
 bale of cotton they gin; that they
 shall during the ginning take
 two samples, wrap and seal them
 and endorse on the sealed pack
 age the bonded gin number, the
 weight of the bale, the name of
 the owner, the owner of the farm
 raised on, the name of the ginner and a guarantee that the samples are fair and true, that the cotton
 was not ginned while wet, that | no water or other foreign sub stance was put in the cotton for fraudulent purposes. The size of the press must be standard, rot more than, 27x54 inches, and
 not more than seven yards of standard bagging shall be used. A metal tag giving the bonded gin number and bale number must be attached to each bale, so it can always be traced and | identified. It is a violation of the law to gin cotton while wet; to plate bale of cotton; to take false samples or practice any fraud in ginning or packing cot ton, or to fail to comply with any of the requirements of the law, including the attaching of tags and taking of samples. When two samples are taken, one must be sent to a warehouse, and the other given to the owner. If there be no wal ehouse the gin ner may give both samples to the owner or keep one with the consent of the owner. There is no provision against the ginner taking sample for his own pro lection. The sample must not be more than one third of pound, and may be smaller. 1 have made contract with the U. s. Government for the cooperative assistance of two CT more cotton graders for the coming season, and all cotton samples taken un. der this law when sent to me will be graded free of cost and a report of the grade will be sent to the owner. The grading will be done by Government men on Government standards, adopted by the Cotton Exchanges of New York, New Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis, Little Rock, and twen ty six other cotton markets. Each cotton exchange publishes official cotton quotations on the different grades every day, and after your cotton is graded you can look up the cotton quotations in Little Rock or any other mar ket and learn exactly what it is worth, because your grade re- port will tell you exactly what you have. A survey of grades and prices was made by the Government in nine states in c uding Arkansas 1913-14 and 3o. 900 samples were examined. The report showed that the farmers got practically nothing more than middling price for their highest and best grades of cotton, and that in Ed Dorado, Searcy, Camden and other towns there was from S4.00 to S12.5O difference paid for bales of the same grade on the same days. This will show the importance and value of gin samples and Government grading. Hereto fore, cotton from Arkansas, Ok lahoma and Louisiana has been docked in price equal to five per
