In the thirty-eight years since tho

disaster relief expeditions at home and
abroad and has expended or directed

million dollars. This covers tho period

fiscal year.

In this immediate territory there
were grave disasters In recent years
the Gulf Statss storm in 1906, the Mis-
sissippi cyclone in 1897, the Missis-
sippi flood in 1917 and the second flood
In 1914. Then there VA another flood

suffering. Everybody in this vicinity
remembers the Lake Charles, Louis

great aid, and at which time Harry l..
Hopkins, director Of civilian relief,
went to Lake Charles and directed the
erection Of the tsnt city. A total Of
$4,000 Was expended in this disaster

OBITUARY..

In His Fatherly wisdom, the
Almighty has deemed it fit to call
unto Himself our dear friend and
associate Mrs. Flavia Knoblock.
"a beautiful life well spent and
a rest we'll earned" is what we
may say of her. The Christian
virtues that she practiced so well !:
patience, devotion, piety, remain
a beautiful example to us all,
therefore be it
Resolved, That we have lost A
very dear friend and member OF
our Altar Society. Living a quie33,
secluded life, she fulfilled her
daily duties with true Christian
spirit, and always found time to
do good to others, lending help
ing hand, a word of encourage
ment and cheer, whenever she saw
that they were needed. 1t is not
strange that death should have
come suddenly, peacefully, pain
lessly to this gentle soul. Always
prepared to meet her Creator.
when the call so unexpectedly
came, that beautiful starlit Octo-
her night, it was with perfect COLI
fidence that her gentle spirit
answered the summons.
Resolved, That we extend the
bereaved relatives our heartfelt
sympathy and we commend them,
in this hour of trial, to our
Heavenly Father who doeth all
things well.
Resolved, That a copy OF these
resolutions be sent to the family,
that they be spread on our min

Gives More Aid Than Ever To Service
Mems FamiIies.
More than double the amount Of
money normally spent per month tor
the relief Of families Of service men
was spent during the month OF August
b. the 0ulf Division Of the American
Red Cross, according to q statement
made Saturday by Harry L. Hopkins,
director Of Civilian Relief. Up to Aug
INST, 1919. = total Of $114,s24.76 had
been spent for this work in Alabama,
Louisiana and Mississippi. During
August, $12,2e4.25 was spent for the
same purpose in these states.
''This makes total" said Mr.. Hop
kins, "of $12S,SSs.10 expended for the
relief Of families of soldiers in the Gulf
Division, of which sum q tenth was
spent during the month Of August. The
reason for this is primarily the fact
that most able-bodied soldiers are dis
charged by this time and are fully able
to take care Of their families them
solves. Those who remain are to a
large degree those who are still IN the
hospitals and who can do nothing for
the persons dependent upon them.
"A very significant feature of this re-
port is the striking manner in which It
emphasizes the need for the continue
ton of the Red Cross work even in
times of peace. Obviously, If we are
spending more for the relief Of soldiers
families in August-nearly year after
the ending of the war-than we were
during the war itself, our work is far
from finished.
Incidentally, this Home Service
work is only one branch of the tremen-
dous Peace Time program which the
Red Cross has mapped out for itself.
The other departments are fully as Inn
portant to the welfare of every commu-
nifty in the Cult states. 1t Is for this
reason that the Red Cross is holding a
third annual roll call this year, Novem-
Der to IL.
by the way, 1t may interest your
readers to know that the Gulf Division,
which includes Alabama, Louisiana and
Mississippi, is the only division in the
/ entire country in which Home Serv-
ice Section has been established for
every single chapter. There are 1,271
