 The ten thousand Home Service Sec lions of the American Red Cross, in their work of looking after the fami- lies of the enlisted men, are doing wOn- ders for the morale of the army. Our fighters are not men who are going to worry about themselves, but if they do not get cheerful letters from home, or if anything goes wrong there, they are going to worry, and that delicate thing the army men call morale is going to be disturbed. It is to safeguard against this and also to prevent need less suffering and to promote that spir- it of neighbOrliness and kindly aid that binds each community into an organic whole that the Home Service was or ganized
 Over 50,000 workers are serving on these ten thousand committees, which reach into every corner of the country, however remote. Not a town or vil- lage or crossroads that is not within reach of the Red Cross; not a wife Or child or mother of a man in service who cannot claim the ready aid of the Red Cross workers.
 More than 3OO,OOO families of Ameri- can soldiers and sailors have been re- lieved of money troubles, legal difficult ties and worries of all sorts by the protecting arm of the Red Cross. If the allowances of allOtments under the War Risk Insurance law do not come the matter is at once referred to Red Cross Headquarters, taken up with the proper government bureau and prompt ly strengthened out If, through the delay, the family finds itself in need of money sums are advanced to tide it over until the allotment arrives. Dur ing July over sixty thousand inquiries of this kind were received, and more than a third of these were taken clear through to headquarters before they could be straightened out.

The total number registered was 71 and of those 5s were promoted. The attendance was very good except in the first grade and the poor attendance there prevented a large promotion.

ROAD
WORK HERE LOOK
GOOD IS REPORT

Prospects for road work in Grady
county are looking up" with the ar
rival of the road palmer" which is
a new tool for building, or rather for
maintaining roads. This tool was
used on the Lucille road yesterday
and was started over the road to
Verden this morning. The results are
reported to be very gratifying.
One of the big trucks secured by
the county from the state highway
department was used as motive pow
er. The machine, with the truck for
power, makes about eight to ten
miles an hour
"The thing works on the road just
slile. "a safety MAJOR works on your
face said one road man this morn
ing in explaining the work of the
machine. 1T takes everything, work
ing the entire road as it goes. The
cile road is in better shape right
now. after two trips over it with the
palmer than it has been in two
years.
Tre tool was purchased some time
ago by the county commissioners, and
the plan is to use it in all parts of
the county to keep the roads in good
condition.
