Helping Soldiers.
Returned soldiers are rapidly Mt
ting themselves into inches in the
industrial structure of the country
where they are able to maintain
themselves and their families. and
the home service section OF the
American Red Cross is now spread
ing out into general civilian relief.
The efforts of this section in the
past have been devoted almost en-
tirely to the problems Of the soldiers
and their families. Now 1t is able
10 start on the almost limitless pro-
gram of usefulness for the nation at
large.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers
and families were assisted by the
American Red Cross, and there are
many thousands of other families
who now stand in need of the same
service.
The Red Cross will conduct these
relief activities only where no other
authorized agency exists. Where
several such agencies exist the Red
Cross will operate as co-ordinatlns
factor only.
Work Being Enlarged.
Many Red Cross chapters have
started the home service work among
civilian families on small scale,
and this will be greatly increased.
In an Ohio city, the Red Cross secre'
tary aroused the CHAMBER or COM
merce to the health needs OIL the
community, and partt-ime health

Experienced health worker.

Brunn refuses to give him dupli-
cate of the same. 1t makes further
allegations to the effect that the
plaintiff has been damaged in the
loss Of money and expenses OF suit
to the amount of 500, and that the
money, defendant owes plaintiff is
past due and unpaid.
The defendant is about to take his
property out of the state and dispose
of it and turn 1t into money in order
to defraud creditors, the petition
states, and therefore the plaintiff
asks the court for 1929 and writ
of attachment on defendants goods,
credit and property.

If this fellow had stepped up

CONVERT TO HARD ROADS.

A. A. Jeffrey, Of Nodaway
county, Missouri, is a farmer
who has seen light ON the roads
question. In Capper's Farmer Mr..
Jeffrey writes the story Of his
conversion, coming out strongly
in favor Of building permanent
roads
For ten weeks last spring the
farm folks of Nodaway county
wallowed through the roads like
this. Jeffrey writes For near
ly 40 years ! have lived where
very often we'd drive to town
with only the front gears of a
wagon bringing home a sack OF
flour and box of other necessi-
ties on the hounds But the time
for such roads has passed, no
matter how unavoidable they
once were Now we must admit
both the need and the ability to
bnild permanent surfaces on at
least our state roads. It's the
next stop"
"I'll confess that have been
very slow TO stand out whole
heartedly for the hard-surfaced
road. ! have been slow to see the
need of so great an expenditure
of money just as we once were
backward about buying tele-
phones and automobiles.
"My own experience in recog
nizing this new need OF hard-sur-
faced roads in every agricultural
county is Of Importance only as
it is typical of the experience of
thousands Of other men. We
need not be ashamed that we are
coming only now to recognize this
need nor ashamed of the fact
that we have changed our minds
on the question. 1t simply is
thing that must come Just as the
telephone came. And it's coming
will make life on our farms inn
measurably happier and more
profitable and better able to con
pete with the city in its attrac-
tions for our boys and girls.
"There is no debate on the de
STABILITY of year round roads. 1t
is almost impossible to number
the advantages that would come
from such roads-more outdoor
riding for the tired housewives
now so often cooped in stuffy
houses for months at time in bad
weather. more attractions in
country life for the young folks,
greater efficiency in marketing
and transportation; in fact, a
new outlook for the open com-
try"

THE SENATE WAY

In starting an investigation o1
the coal strike settlement, after
doing nothing toward ending the
controversy and bringing relief to
the country, the senate is running
absolutely true to form.
If the gentlemen were as sue
cessful in doing things as they
are in finding fault with what
somebody else does, they would
be able to render some real SER
vice to the nation. The trouble is
that they are long on criticism
and short in the line, Of construc-
tive craftsmanship.
1t is just this sort Of thing
that frequently raises the
question, Why is the senator"
