that those who do not come under
any of these classes have come to real
lie the Importance Of the assistance
rendered by the Red Cross.
Soldiers and sailors must be encour-
aged to carry on" Their morale
must be upheld. The sailor or soldier
who is worrying about the welfare Of
his family is not able to put his mind
on the business before him. For this
reason the Home Service Section of

In practically every large city Of the
United States there Is already a class
for training the workers Of the Home
Service section. 10 that they may be
able to efficiently deal with the very
real problems that nre before them
II is not the policy of the section to
force upon families the aid OF the Red
Cross nor TO burden them with inter-
ference No family should be ap-
preached unless some member Of the
family or some person capable of
speaking for them has asked for the
service. Because IL is the desire of
the Committee on Civilian Relief, un-
der whose direction this work comes,
TO keep the service of the bureau
strictly confidential, the wearing OF
any uniform by the Home Service
workers has been discouraged They
call simply as friends and try to call
Immediately when requested.
In no instance is a visitor permit

lily. Help is always ready, and the call
usually comes from The man In the
service himself Through the work
ers In the camp or at the front he
learns that his family may be assisted,
and IL he does not hear regularly or
eneouragingly he is quite apt to talk
over with the Red Cross man or wo-
man the affairs of his home when he
learns of the friendly interest, and
thus send local workers TO his family.

Through the familiar village street, grown strange,
Hand clasped in hand, they hear weird echoes start
From ruined homes Fear dumbs each small child heart
No tears rain down like dew to ease their woe;
Horror has dried the wells from which they sprang.
Like crusaders of the long ago.
Their phantom banners in the breeZes blow.

Crime of the highway on their tiny feet,
Needless alike of dust and blazing sun,
Forget, as dreams, the horrors that were done.
None calls; weary they rest within the shade
The ruined church, where they learned to pray
Long years before the had come and laid
Their homes In ruins, made their hearts afraid.
Before the Holy Mother low they bow
Perhaps she hears and will bring them aid.

For see the cross is shining her browl
The light around her head, nimbus gleams

Owing to a postponement of the

called session was held at the st.
Clair residence, Tuesday evening,
June p. with Mrs. S. R. st. Clair as
hostess.
Members responded to roll call upon
the subject of "Men in the Limelight
in Russia"
Mrs. B. A. Mcfarland, who repre-
scented the club at the annual meet
ing of the state federation of Women's
club held at Great Falls, was called
upon to report. The report was ex-
ceedingly we'll given, comprehensive
and intensely interesting.
One of the important questions dis
cussed and finally voted upon by the
state federation was the changing of
the scholarship fund from a gift fund
to a loan fund. At the conclusion of
the report, Mrs. Stone gave one of the
best papers that has been given during
the club year. The subject was: "Rus-
sia's Resources and Problems" This
was followed by an interesting paper
upon the subject of "What of Rus
sia's Future" given by Mrs. A. n.
Peterson.
Those present felt that the session
was particularly enjoyable and worth
while.
Mrs. Sibled was the guest of the
evening.

members of the county exemption
