diers is being carried on jointly by the
French government and the American
Red Cross. There are between fifty
and sixty schools Of various kinds for
this work. The Red Cross has provid.
ed more than six hundred mutilated
soldiers with artificial legs of the best
type, and has established a factory
near Paris where artificial limbs are
manufactured. By arranging for con.
sultation between the surgeon and the
manufactures, the Red Cross has been
able to secure the best possible treat.
ment for each case.
With the wanton destruction Of
homes by the German army and tha
uprooting of the population in the dew
astated regions, the home as an in-
stitution in France is in peril. Real
izing this condition, the Red Cross is
endeavoring to keep the soldiers
homes intact; to find homes for the
Outcast children who have neither
homes nor parents, and to help the
refugees and repatries to find a place
to live until they shall be able to re-
build their homes.
1.-THE most telling w0rl; Of the Red
Cross in France, as far as helping to
win the war goes, is the care Of the
families of the French soldiers. The
Red Cross is giving to the needy fam
lilies of these French soldiers supplies
and money, according to their needs.
"When the Germ&n army invaded
France, hundreds of thousands Of
French people were driven from their
homes and are now scattered through
out the republic. These people are
known as refugees. The number has
increased of course, for various rea-
sons until now there are more than l.
100000, embracing all classes and ages,
except able-bodied men. There are APP
prOximately 100000 refugees in Paris
alone.
1.-THE housing Of these people is one
of the greatest problems of the French
government. The American Red Cross
Is cooperating with the French govern
ment in this work"

Women are swarming into new ac-
tivities to meet the needs of industry
and to release men for service at the
front These war times call upon
every individual to do some kind Of
work, excusing only the very old or
the very young from active service.
And women are acquittlng themselves
like men. They are getting down to
business in uniforms scientifically de-
signed to meet the requirements of the
various kinds Of work they have I'M
deitaken to do, and to meet their own
sense of fitness. Many a smart uni

For the factory or farm or garden
there are overettes and service suits
like those shown in the picture. They

woods or mountains there is nothing
so comfortable and satisfactory as the

In the New England Bulletin Of the
American Red Cross there is a splen-
did review of its work during the past
year from which the following is an
extract under the title of "The Human
Side"
1.-THE American Red Cross recognizes
that our first duty for humanity in this
war is the protection of our soldiers
in France. 1t recognizes also that this
duty lies with the United States gov
eminent and that the government is
responsible for 1t. AS a supplement-
airy relief organization the Red Cross
stands ready to cooperate with the
government in this work, and to put
It's organization, money and supplies
into service at the call of the Ameri-
can army whenever and wherever they
can be Of use. Fully realizing the dts
advantages that are always met in a
foreign country, and with the view Of
keeping our soldiers in touch with
things American, the Red Cross begins
at the port Of landing in France by
establishing rest stations. These rest
stations extend inland toward the
camps and are located in a series at
junction points and railroad stations
where the soldiers are required to
wait for train connections.
"Chief work Of the American Red
Cross in helping care for wounded SOL
dlers lies in its cooperation with the
government in supplying an efficient
nursing service; in assisting the Army
Medical corps in cases of emergency,
and in furnishing materials for hos
pitfalls. There were on March i, 1913
more than twenty-three hundred Amer
lean Red Cross nurses employed In
base hospitals and in the French mill
tary hospitals throughout the republic.
The total number Of hospitals of va
rious sorts in the French republic ex-
ceeds five thousand and more than
half Of these are receiving all or part
Of their medical and surgical supplies
from the American Red Cross.

Finding Help for Harvest.

Kansas answered the call for In
creased food production. Kansas plant
ed more wheat. Kansas knew, Of
course, that tremendous amount Of
man power would be required to har-
vest that crop. But Kansas wasn't dis
mayed. Uncle Sam called for more
wheat. Kansas planted more wheat.
Kansas knew that wheat would be har-
vested and that people in the towns
and cities would 90 to the fields to
help do It'll
And that is precisely how It is being
harvested-by people from the towns
and cities of Kansas. A literal exo-
dus of all the urban people hasn't been
necessary, of course. But all that were
needed went-and more were ready II
needed.
The statewide campaign for town
volunteers for farm labor service dur
ing the harvest was launched at Kan
sas City conference the latter part Of
May. Representatives Of the United
States department of agriculture re-
minded all the cooperating agencies
at that conference Of the policy that
department has been urging since the
beginning of the war-the use of town
man power for local farm labor needs
during seasonal emergencies.

His Choice Of Professions.

A rich New Yorker decided that his
indolent son must go to work.
The father acquired his wealth by
hunting for oil in Kentucky and is
self-made. In his ultimatum to the
leisure-loving son, he told him to have
on his desk the next morning the pro-
LESSONS he would like to follow-and
the father would select the one for
which he thought the son best suited.
Here is the list the son turned In:
Hammock demonstrator. Night
Waterman at police headquarters.
Floorwalker in a bird store. Head
waiter in the Automat. Director of
the vacation bureau at Sing Sing.
Ringmaster at a merry-go-rOund. Win

TRAIN FOR HARD WORK

Is there a physical training
class in your town?
If not, this is a good time to
start One-a physical training
class to harden the soft muscles
Of town and city men, so they
can go to farms and do effective
work during emergency needs
for farm labor in their counties
and communities.
Kansas City started a 'loyaI
physical fitness class" some
weeks before the time for the
wheat harvest. The idea spread
all over the state. In many
towns and cities similar classes
were organized, and men made
themselves fit for the hard work
they were to undertake in the
fields as volunteer harvest work.
ers. The Kansas wheat crop
couldn't have been harvested If
thousands Of patriotic men from
the towns and cities had not
volunteered to save this crop
that will help feed the fighters
at the front. And a great many
of these men couldn't have work
ed as effectively, and some Of
them would have been forced to
drop out altogether, If they had
not been prepared for the physi-
cal strain by preliminary train
ing.
Uncle Sam needs the help Of
every loyal American citizen.
Either work or fight! You can't
do your best work, either at
your present Job or at any other
job, or in the fields temporarily
as a farm volunteer, unless you
are physically fit.
A few weeks work in a physi-
cal training class will harden"
you surprisingly. Start a class
in your town. Be ready to go to
work effectively, be able really
to accomplish something in the
fields when the call comes for
patriotic town men to do emer-
gency farm work In your section.
An open space-the courthouse
square or d vacant lot or a big
back yard-a leader who knows
the army setting up" or other
movements and exercises and
determination on the part Of the
men of your town-these are all
the things you need.

MOTOR TRUCK TO.
TRANSPORT eggs
Producers Find Experiment So
Satisfactory That They viii
Extend Service.
QUICK DELIVERY IS RESULT

In Season to Be carried-Mer.
chandise Is Hauled by Trucks
on Return Trips.

Last year producers Of eggs near
Vlneland and Millville, New Jersey,
had difficulties getting their eggs to
dealers in New York City. This year,
however, they travel direct by motor
truck to the dealers doors and arrive
In less time and with less loss from
breakage than in other seasons.
This community Of producers has
found the results Of their experiment
of shipping eggs by motor truck 80
successful that they are planning to
extend their efforts to cover fruits and
vegetables, poultry and other products
In season.
Eggs by Motor Truck.
Following q season In which trans
portation troubles made shipments to
New York City unsatisfactory the
farmers sought assistance from the
bureau of markets of the United States
department Of agriculture, and spe-
cialists on motor-truck marketing made
a survey of the situation. This was
followed by group Of producers agree
ing to ship their eggs by motor truck
and to bring the cases to designated
places along the route the truck was
to cover. A large commercial motor
truck company, operating feet of
trucks between New York and Phila-
delphla, was interested and agreed to
make detour on their trips to New
York, to which city their trucks had
often travelled without being loaded,
to take in Vineland and Millville. Lo-
cal farmers and merchants in these
two towns agreed to give their hauling
business from Philadelphia to the truck
company and thus insure full load
for the trucks all the way from Phila-
delphia to New York.
Capacity Of Trucks.
The trucks have a capacity Of about
Ave tons, and can take 200 crates of
eggs. On the first trip only $50 cases
were ready at the roadside and the bal
ance of the load was made up Of Grated
glass from Vlneland and Millville. This
first load went the 40 miles In the
record time of 10 hours with not an
egg broken on the way. The truck
went across on the ferry boat from the
New Jersey shore, and the eggs were
delivered on the sidewalks in front
of the wholesale houses. On the re-
turn trip the truck hauled merchandise
from New York direct to Philadelphia.
Some Of the dealers in New York
City are offering a premium of from
one-half to one and onehalf cents a
dozen for eggs shipped by motor
truck from Vineland and Millville, be-
cause the eggs arrive in better condi-
ton and in quicker time than when
shipped by rail. This premium alone
more than covers the difference in cost
OF shipping by motor truck and by rail,
and. in addition to the time saved, the
motor-truck service is more dependable
and gives better delivery. The eggs,
as yet, are not pooled, but consist Of
individual shipments to a number Of
dealers.

Small Boy Tells How
He Bought Liberty Bond

LemOyne, May $50 that he would
be able to purchase a bond. Vance
Miller, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
L. Miller, carried papers, gathered
dandelion and sold it. ran errands
and did any little turn that he could
do in order to make money. Vance
is IL years old and to-day is proud
of the $50 bond he has in his pos
session
Vance writes the following letter
to the editor of the Telegraph:
When the first Liberty Bonds
were called for. L thought oh, how
l would like to earn money myself
for to buy bond, but $50 seemed
so much to earn. but then fifty would
do so much for our men over there,
and with it all a button 1 could
wear. So l carried papers, delivered
orders, gathered dandelion and sold
it, etc. and here I am to-day with
my own money in time for the Third
Liberty Loan Bond. 1 hope my little
mite will help some soldier boys.
Thank you for my button and flag.
