YOUR RED CROSS
An Army Without a Gan 81
By MEREDITH NICHOLSON
OF the Ninilantes.
OF the VieiIantes.

THE Rcd Cross is the greatest instrument OF
mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service of mercy and helpfulness was in Civil War
days, the Red Cross surpasses it immeasurably not
only in the range and variety Of its effort, but la
efficiency and effectiveness.
The Red Cross is. we may say, the arms of the
mothers Of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort them. The Red
Cross is an army nitho@t gun that wages war
only upon suffering and heartache. Where the
flag of the stars goes there the banner of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go
forth to war with spirit of hope illness because we
know that this great agency Of humanity presses
close behind them that its work is not incidental,
but the intelligent directed effort Of one Of the
most marvellous organizations ever contrived by
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross; we
shall be called upon again to contribute to its
funds, ,-agan and perhaps again And we will
respond again and yet again! For this is war for
the defense of civilization, and we Of great, free,
splendid, glorious America, have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army Of the Red
Cross solidly supporting our soldiers.

STRETCHING PARIS TO
MEET THE NEEDS OF FRANCE
THE RED CROSS HAS HELPED WHERE GOV.
ERNMENTS WERE HELPLESS.

The avalanche of refugees that
swept into Paris from the north of
France had been the despair of the
civil authorities. These homeless,
stunned people were a new RESPONSE
bility to he added to the thousands of
wounded men that came steadily from
the shambles of the west front.

tight fit So it made the best of its
poor hospitality by Offering up its gar
rets New building construction SEEM

mechanic was either manning the
trenches. or fighting the fight in the
war factories. Paris was distracted.
1t is wonderful indeed how nobly
Paris tried to meet this condition.
And it is remarkable how Paris met 1t
with the aid of our own Red Cross.
Unhampered by red tape or precedent,
our Red Cross put on overalls and
jumper, carried the hod, became archi-
tect, engineer and contractor and went
into the building of homes. Here was
a church lot that lay vacant; here an

Protection from Lightning

Kansas farmers should protect
their stock from lightinn, points out
H. H. Fenton of the home study
department., division of Extension
Kansas State Agriculture college.
"Wire fences mounted on Wood
en- posts should be grounded
every few rods," said Mr.. Fenton.
If the fence is mounted on iron
posts there is practically no danger.
Wood is a nonconductor of electri-
city while all metals make fair con
ducting paths. The charge of cleo
tricity in the cloud produces an op.
posite charge beneath it on rhe
bulldingings, fences, trees, and
ground. Should fence with wood.
en- posts be in the path of discharge
no suitable path to the ground is
afforded.
- Stock drift, just before a storm
to the boundary of the space in
which they are in closed. If this
boundary is wire fence on wooden
posts there is grett danger, as the
body of the ansmal presents a
better path for electricity than does
even wetgreeh timber. The stock will
furnish the missing connection even
through eight or ten feet away-and
thi smeans loss of animals.
Grounding eau be done by driv-
ing a small iron rod down three
feet into the ground and attaching a
wire securely to it, and all the wires
Of the fence directly above it, leav-
ing an end six or seven inches long
sticking UP above the post to act as
an individual lightning rod. The
ground rod should be bright and
clean, preferable galvanized, and
one forth inch in diameter. TIE
connecting wires must be clean and
all wires of the fence where the
oints are to be connected should be
tight to insure pcFfect contact. This
affords short path to the ground
for any charge which may be on
the wires of the fence.
