RED CROSS LN THIS
 DIVISION, ALWAYS
 HAS SET THE PACE
Simmons, Pointing to RemarkabIe Record, Says He Hopes People in This Section Will Main
 tain Place in Front

George w. Simmons, manager for the Southwestern Division of the American Red Cross, in a sratemen. given out today said that he hoped the Southwestern Division would continue to set the pace in Red Cross activities.
 "In the past we have compelled the other Red Cross divisions to follow us, and I hope we will be able to say that We have an unbroken record as the leading division of the country when the calling of the roll is completed" said Mr. Simmons.
 "The people of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma have in the past nobly responded to all the calls of the Red Cross, and in this membership campaign to be held dur ing the week of Dec. 1923 I hope the response will be similar to that in the past.
 Twill it not be a great achievement if every resident of the division joins the organization? It will mean that for all time we can point to ths five states as being 100 per cent loyal to- its promises and pledges in both war and peace.
 ''The Red Cross must continue to give comfort and cheer to the soldiers and sailors overseas and those in the camps in America.
 While the Red Cross will continue to aid the stricken of Europe, we must not neglect preparation for the care of our own people should an emergency arise.
 'The women of the five states have given their time to making surgical dressings, refugee garments and to knitting thousands of articles given soldiers and sailors and the poor of Europe by the organization, and to fail tc answer the roll call at this time would reflect on their generous efforts.
 'It does not appear necessary for me, as manager of this great institu- tion in this great division, to appeal to the people in this division to join, be- cause l feel convinced they will re- spond. I merely ask that the loyal supporters of the organization < men, women and children who live made the work of the Red Cross possi- ble-set forth the facts to their friends, so that when the membership campaign period is over we can call to the attention of the world that every resident of Missouri, Kansas, Texas. Arkansas and Oklahoma is member of America's gEsatest institution"

SAVE 16,OO0,OoO BUSHELS OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
 WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food Administra- tion, Provide Seven Extra Leaves
 of Bread for Every American.

By adopting cleaner threshing meth ods and by literally combing harves, fields to gather g:z,in formerly vast ed, threshermen and farmers of the United States this year saved fully l6,OOO,OOO bushels of wheat, estimated as equivalent to about seven one-pountl loaves of bread for every person in the country. This result, accompanied by corresponding savings of barley, oats, rye and other grains. is shown by reports from 33 grain states to the U. $. Food Administration. Other states, although not prepared to furnish defi- mite figures of conservation in the grain fields, report greatly reduced harvest losses.
 This rural food saving achievement, accomplished in scarcely six months time, was in direct response to re- quests by the Food Administration, which asked farmers and threshermen to reduce harvest losses from abou; BA per cent.-the estimated average In normal timeS-to the lowest poSsi- ble minimum. Country grain thresh- ing committees carried into every grain growing community the official recommendations for accomplishing the results desired.
 In numerous instances drivers of racks with leaky bottoms were sent from the fields to repair their equip ment and frequently bad order thresh- Ing machines were stopped until the cause of waste was removed. But in proportion to the number of persons engaged in gathering the nations grain crop, cases of compulsion were com paratively rare. The Food Adminis- tration freely attributes the success of the grain threshing campaign to pa triotic service by farmers, thresher- men and their crews. Incidentally grain growers of the United States are many millions of dollars lin pocket as result of the grain saved.
