At the meeting of the Executive
Board of the Roy Chapter, A. R. G.,
Monday evening, Mrs, Nelly Wilcox
was unanimously elected chairman for
another year. 1t appeared to all that
no one else could be found who could
and would attend to the duties as faith
fully and well and she yielded to the
will of the other workers.
Mrs. F. S. Brown was elected as
Secretary, relieving Mrs. Ogden, who
was chosen sometime since as Secre-
tary of the Home Service Section af-
ter three years service as Secretary Of
the Chapter. Mr.. c. L. Justice was
reelected treasurer, and Mrs. Chas
Weatherill chairman Home Service
Section.
Active work Of the Red Cross has
been reduced to the Home Service De
partment and a surprising amount OF
work has developed in helping many
ex-soldiers to get their affairs adjust
ed with the Department, Civilian Re-
lief activities also present a wide
range of opportunity to apply "Prac-
tical Christianity"
Mayor F. s. Brown called attention
to deposit Of about $40 in the banF
from last year, the money left owe.

where nearly a million people are
suffering from disease and starvation.
Miss Andrees had returned to this
country after serving for the Red
Cross, but when she read of the sad
plight Of the Armenians, she at once
offered her services to Near East Re
lief, the former American Committee
on Armenian and Syrian Relief, whicn
already has saved thousands Of lives
In Western Asia. Miss Andrees Is the
only American woman war worker
who was awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal by Congress. Most Of
the other members Of her party like
wise served with honor for the Red
Cross and other war service organI-
zations.
Among the other members OF the
group are the Misses Frances and
Betty Anderson Of New Canaan, COnn.,
who were decorated with the CrcIx de
Guerre by the French Government;
Miss Margaret Milne Of Washington,
~ O.g WhO was n uAGuIDET vi lHG
Hoover Relief Commission for llu-
mania, and Miss Alex Sidney, an Eng
lish woman who served for three years
with the British Relief Commission in
Serbia. Miss Doris Nevin, another
member of the party, is a daughter
Of the late Ethelbert Nevin, the COM
poser.
Col. William N. Haskell, commits
sioner to the Near East for the Paris
Peace Commission and official repre-
sentative Of the Near East Relief, has
cabled that the relief workers now In
the field are overwhelmed by the mag
nitude Of their task. Col. Haskell says
100000 Armenlans will starve before
the next harvest unless they are given
aid and 10000 orphan children face
death from hunger and exposure.
Thousands of refugees are daily be-
Init brought to the relief centers from
the deserts.

Henry Garms, manager of the So
lano Cooperative Mill Co., was up
from Mosquero Monday on business.
He says they will soon be ready to
start building when the lumber ar
rives, and hope TO be making flour
before spring. The company has am
pie finance to back the enterprise and
it is one of the best things under
taken for the whole mesa. Developing
the wheat industry of the mesa is far
safer and more important than dab
bling in oil stocks or other enterprises
that help other states and cities at our
expense.
