RED CROSS AID
GIVEN IN EAST
AMERICANS IN CHINA GIVE
LIBERAL DONATIONS TO
FUND

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. IL
American residents in China are or
ganizing for war relief work in the
far east and to aid American troops
in France through the American
Red Cross war council. At Shang-
hal the organization of a Red Cross
chapter has been undertaken by
Consul-General Thomas Summons,
while American consuls in other
Chinese cities are also aiding the
Red Cross.
To begin Red Cross work in
Shanghai, Consul-General Sammons
reports, $3.50 was raised in a
concert among the American resi-
dents. This money Is to be used in
purchasing raw materials for the
Shanghai American War Relief So
ciety, which is making hospital sup
plies under Red Cross direction.
A contribution of $57S.67 from
the American residents of Annoy,
China, has also just been received
by the wal council through the
American consul stationed there.
This sum was raised by voluntary
subscription during Red Cross
week." from June 25 to July 4, as
the contribution Of s7TeT7caTs in
Annoy, to the war fund of the Red
Cross.
In forwarding the gift, Consul
Cover said:
when it is considered that the
Annoy community is composed very
largely of missionaries who receive
small salaries and find it difficult
to make ends meet with the pre-
sent exchange, | believe that this
contribution represents a splendid
expression of the loyalty Of Annoy
Americans in the present war, and
their desire to do their part in a
financial way in aiding the Rel
Cross"

Quite frequently We find rosebushes
not producing as fine large roses as
they did during other seasons. Some
thing Is lacking, and If fertilizers have
been applied and these do not seem to
bring out the good qualities something
else Is needed.
Perhaps the roses need iron. One
thing Is certain-a little iron will no
hurt them. Try burying a few cans
beneath the rosebushes. Mash them
fiat and bury them a few inches be-
meath the surface Of the soil, near
enough to the roots Of the roses that
the roots can secure some of he iron
and carry 1t to the foliage and the
flowers.
From three to a half dozen cans to
a bush is enough. The tin soon rusts
of, and the thin sheet of iron will be
rapidly gathered up by the action or
the elements, and 1t is surprising how
