THIS IS THE TRUE
RED CROSS SPIRIT
A Little Story With a Big
Thought in It.

A month ago the Red Cross chapter
In Bay City. Mich, received hurry
up call for 100 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move. and through an
oversight their equipment was not
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within 4S hours A request
for help was sent over the town. and
the stores were searched successfully
for the right materials. Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter wOrkrOOms to help were
TWO little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years of age, each eager to lend
q hand and do something for the boys
who were going to the front All day
long the fingers Of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Rag
after bag received the last stitch u0-
til scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman experimenting the making Of
the bags counted those completed and
announced that II every one Of the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished In time foe
shipping by evening. Two crestfallen
little girls. the little sisters, were walt
ing for her at the door as she de-
parted.

Corn Not Damaged
by the Hot Ware

1t Is the opinion Of farmers and
others who are familiar with the stu
alton that the present hot wave, and
especially the torrid heat and hot
winds OF Sunday and Monday, have
not materially affected tie corn in the
county. While 1t is true that In
places some # the corn on hillside
fields began 10 curl Monday, the
leaves revived during the night and
appeared none the worse for the heat.
The heat OF Tuesday, altho extreme,
was not accompanied by hot wind,
and it Is said that the effect on the
corn was not noticeable.
The corn that is likely to suffer the
most from continued extremely hot
weather is that which was planted
late and is lust coming into tassel.
Corn at such stage Is affected by the
heat destroying the vitality of pollen
which impertectly fertilizes the silk
