In order to have a clear comprenen-
sion Of the Red Cross and its work, it
is necessary to know about its con
struction and its methods. The pres
ident of the United States is not mere
ly an honorary officer but an active
president of the society. He presides
at the annual meetings, appoints mem
bers Of various boards and issues i'm
portant public appeals in time of war
or disaster. 1t is important to under
stand that 1t is the arm or instrument
Of the government for giving aid to
humanity. Its work goes on at all
times in the department of civilian re-
lief. Under its charter all accounts of
the American Red Cross are audited
by the war department and an annual
report submitted to congress by the
secretary of war. To President Taft
belongs much credit for the time and
attention he gave to the affairs of the
society, In order to build 1t up to its
present efficiency and establish 1t In
the public confidence.
The central committee is the gov
erning body, under 1t coming three i'm
portant boards whose chairmen and
vice chairmen are members of the COM
mittee. These boards are the war, ma
tional and international relief boards.
They establish the policies in their re-
spective fields of activity and recon-
mendations for appropriations are
made by them to the central or exec
utive committee which has the sole
right of apprOpriating funds.
The chairman and vice chairman Of
the war relief board are the surgeon
generals Of the army and navy. Those
Of the international relief board are
representatives Of the state depart
ment and the navy and those of the
national relief board are members of
the central committee particularly ia
miliar with this part OF Red Cross
work.
"Under these boards are various
subcommittee, the medical bureau,
the first aid department. the nursing
service, town and country nursing and
the Christmas seal. State boards, con-
sisting of from three to ten prominent
persons. constitute permanent emer.

gency finance committees in each state,
the governor of the state being ths
chairman.
Besides the state boards there are
local organizations which are called
chapters, each with Its own officers and
members. The special duties Of the
chapters are to collect funds and sup
plies on appeal from headquarters or
from the governor of their respective
state, and, in case of local disasters, to
cooperate with the institutional men,
Der in immediate relief measures"
The above brief review of the organ
ization of the American Red Cross is
in part quoted from "Under the Red
Cross Flag" by Mabel L. Boardman,
which gives a very comprehensive and
thorough history of the organization,
its aims and its work.

evolution. 1t has been with us for many years,
but the older members of the family, though big
In stature. were extremely awkward, had many
ills and didn't believe in efficiency. They were
very impressive to look at, but when the farmer
bought one he usually found that 1t made the
most durable impression upon the ground. 1t was
a better staller than a politician.
Through education, however, 1t was developed
into a finer thing. 1t lost a lot of its awkwardness
with Its size and gained In strength and fexiSility.
Its groans were converted into action. 1t began
to wear new shoes, and when a mudhole or a
gully confronted 1t, instead of putting and s~nortIng
and marking time, as the older ones did, 1t rolled
on through the soft spots, or climbed out of the
bitches. Its new revolving track shoes could go
anywhere, and 1t did. The latest proof of this is
seen in the reports from the European battle
fields, where the armored tanks are walking
over all obstacles. 1t Is said on reliable authori-
ty that these tanks are built upon a foundation
of an American type of tractor.
1t Is in orchard work that the tractor has won
its way into the hearts Of many owners. In a
well-managed orchard 1t Is necessary to pillow up
the soil as close to the trees as possible. With a
team and the old-fashioned pillow, 1t is impossible
TO cut corners and reach little out-of-the-way
hooks, but not so with the tractor. 1t can turn

The pockets serve a double purpose

A belt of the material Is finished with
a plated frill at the top which extends
across the sides and back but NOT

with the straight line, and a large fiaJ

around like a whirling dervish and can come
close enough to a tree or the fence to caress but
not offend 1t. A f%avorite trick of one make of a
California tractor is to turn completely around
on an ordinary railroad flat car. When one con-
elders the width of these cars the feat Is a re-
markable one. If all else fails, the machine
can get a job in a circus as a contortionlst.
One of the odd uses to which tractors are put
is that of clearing land for cultivation. On the
virgin fields of Canada the ranchers found the
new land to be thickly covered with tough brush
and young trees, forming a dense mat, to clear
which by hand seemed a formidable task. A
tractor owner rugged up a sort Of summer snow
pillow" made of two sharp blades at the bottom
and a number Of steel rods placed horizontally
over a V-shaped frame that ran to a height Of
four or five feet. By fastening this contrivance
to the front of his tractor, and by bucking the
forest growth as he would a %snowdrlft, the brush
was cut off close to the ground and thrown to
one side and burned. Later the same tractor
went over the ground with a gangplow and
cut out all the roots and turned up the soil for
planting.
The tractor on the farm has come to stay, and
the up-to-date farmer will find 1t as hard to get
along without one as a wife, and much easier to
get along with.
