LIGHT FOR THE SHORT DAYS.

Farming is supposed to be sun
time business, an occupation that i,
carried on according to the amount of
daylight available. Witness the recent
.altercation over the matter of daylight
saving. And of course it is true that
the farmer is dependent to a great ex
tent upon daylight for the completion
of his field work
During the busy season he must be
in the fields at daybreak and must stay
there until dark if he is to get the
necessary amount of work done. Be
fore and after these field hours he
must feed and water the stock and do
La lot of other work at the barn and
house. Both summer and winter he is
pretty likely to do these chores before
daylight and after dark.
In the house the situation is some
what different. There, in summer time
comparatively little light is needed
but when winter comes with its short
days and long, still evenings the whole
farm family becomes interested in the
matter of good light.
1t is rather strange thing that
with tremendous improvements along
every other line of agricultural ac
tivity the PROVISION of good moderu
lighting systems should have been 50
long in coming. Until the last three
or four years the great majority of the
farm homes still got along with the
lamp for the house
In the house these lamps were not
very satisfactory at best. Clearing
and filling them took lot of some
ones time and, unless there We're a
number of them used, it was usually
a matter of those nearest the lamp
getting the light and those farther
away getting along without it. There
had to be lamps to carry upstairs at
bed time, too. one for each 70 IN And
these meant more cleaning aud filing,
considerable Inconvenience and an
ever present fire hazard. To be sure
they were lot better than the candles
and tallow dips of a generation ago,

PLAN RURAL WELFARE
Red Cross Specialist Studying
Southern Rural Districts.

"What will you do if we have an.
ether epidemic of flu?"
This is the question that Is being
answered daily by DR.. E. L. Morgan,
national director of the Red Cross
Bureau Of Organization, in the Gulf
Division. From community to com
munity, DR.. Morgan is visiting and
studying in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama. His latest address was be-
fore the Home Service Institute at
Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he said
that the question of preparation fol
epidemics is of paramount impor.

"If district is found unhealthy
and if typhoid is raging because Of
impure water" said DR.. Morgan
'treat the case as though you were
acting for a family. Consult the
public health officials, and the SAM.
tary and legal forces, and get the
community back of you to carry out
the necessary reforms"
DR.. Morgan's tour is principally in
the interests of the rural community
the community which is getting
such large share of attention in the
Red Cross Peace Time Program. The
Home Service sections of the Red
Cross are to have a great part in
this work and it is expected that
public health will be improved to a
great extent through their co-opera-
ton with Red Cross public health
nurses.
Look around your own town. "
DR.. Morgan told the Red Cross work
ers, "and see if it is orderly and
clean, or if it is dirty and unsani.

there is reason-and you must find
out that reason. All of the people
are stockholders in the community
and their stock improves or depre.
ciates according to the condition In
which their property is kept, and the
property improves in proportion with
the person who owns it.
"The Red Cross has two-fold job
in this respect" DR.. Morgan contin,
ued. owe must carry on the work
the individual chapter has decided
upon, such as employing public
health nurses, getting better schools
and supplying the needs of the COM
munity; secondly, we must carry on
a campaign of education to give tAe
people the knowledge that will make
them desire the greater things OF
life"
"We are going to do for the com.
try what is being done for the city.
Living conditions in the two places
must be made equally pleasant and
healthful."

CRIPPLED SCHOOL CHILD SAVED
BY RED CROSS SECRETARY.

A strange lady stopped group Of
children who were on their way to the
country school, She had noticed them
dragging a young boy along the rough
road.
You mustn't do that" She told
them. why don't you let your little
playmate walk?"
One of the boys bright-eyed little
captors spoke up;
Jaw, lady, cant va see Willie's Q
cripple? He can't walk"
The lady did see, now. And she &C.
companied the children home. 1t was
a home Of poverty, Of wretched sQualor.
The mother of the crippled boy in-
formed the visitor she had no money
to buy crutches for her son, who was
a victim of infantile paralysis.
That was three weeks ago. Today
the boy is walking again, feebly and
uncertainty, but successfully. The
strange lady was Red Cross Home
Service secretary, and she sent the boy
from the town in Mississippi, where
she found him, to the Crippled Chill
drsn's Hospital in Memphis, where q
successful operation was performed.
The Peace. Program OF the Red
Cross provides for the continuation OF
such activities as this. The local Red
Cross organization will conduct a
drive November Q to II, for the pur.
pose OF extending Red Cross service IN
tbs community.

RED CROSS SERVING DIsCHARC
ED SOLDIERS IN MANY WAYS.

"Say, Sam, did you ever get that
Liberty bond you paid for?"
"No."
Neither did /. wonder wheR
Uncle Sam is coming through
with it,"
This conversation, or one like it,
is taking place these days between
hundreds Of "pals" in the service, OF
just discharged from it. Various
difficulties have been experienced by
soldiers in getting the bonds foE
which they have paid.
To overcome this condition the
American Red Cross has come to the
rescue. All any soldier who wants
his bond needs to do henceforth is to
inform a representative Of the Red
Cross. Practically any contingency
causing delay has been guarded
against. The soldier must give the
representative all the information he
can and leave the rest to the assocla-
ton, which will take up the matter
and see that prompt delivery is made
through registered mail.
The method is this, in brief: The
soldier assigns the delivery of hin
bonds to the Red Cross representa-
tive, who obtains it from the bond
section of the zone finance office
and delivers it to the owner.
This is one of the many services
of this great organization which il

gain money and members to keep up
its work permanently.
