Home Service.

Home Service.
The Home Service Of the Red Gross
is divided into three types:
I. Information Service.
Each branch and chapter should
maintain an information bureau where
soldiers and sailors and their families
may seek information which they need
in regard to education advantages, in
surance, etc.
III. Civilian Relief.
During the war financial aid was
given to soldiers and sailors and their
families. This must be continued
where necessary and the Reds Cross
is now permitted to extend this aid
to civilians. Permission from Head
quarters must be secured before this
Civilian Relief work can be undertak-
en-.
III. Community Work
Under the head of Community Work
almost any social need of sa conmuni-
ty may be met. Each community must
first determine its needs BY consider
ing the following questions: What
are the social needs of the community !?
How can they be met? Can the Red
Cross assist? No plan should be con-
sidered by anv community that is
merely an implication Of what some
one else or some other agency is al
pready doing well.
Work undertaken IN a branch must
first have the approval of the Chap
ter as the Chapter must be respons-
ible for the success of the work.
Any work undertaken in the name
of the Red Cross and for which Red
Cross funds are used must have the
approval OF headquarters and must
be done according to Red Cross stan
dards.
Branches must operate through the
Chapters. Plans for Community Ser
vice must 90 to Washington for ap-
prevail
Every Chapter is urged to have a
paid Home Service Agent whose busi-
ness should be determined by the
needs of the county. This Home Ser
vice Agent may also be the paid sec
retary, lead the county IN the organ
ization of social and recreational ac-
tivities and in the or organization and

Shall the Farm
BurealI Federate

At a meeting of members and di-
rectors Of the Renville County Swine
Breeders Association and Farm Bu-
lreau at the County Agents Office at
/ Olivia on October Is, the question of
whether Renville county should fed
/ crate with the State Federation of
| Farm Bureaus was taken up and ex-
| planned and discussed very thoroughly
It was the will of the meeting that
the State Federation movement should
be explained throughout the county at
a series of meetings during the next
two weeks. Four big meetings have
been scheduled. one at Fairfax on
OctobeN % in the afternoon, Hector
/ October 28 in the evening Renville
October 29 in the afternoon and Oil
via. October 29 in the evening.
"A speaker from the State universe
ty will be obtained for these meetings
and will take up the subject in de-
tail. Many articles on the Federation
of Farm Bureaus have been published
during the past few weeks.
The report of the committee of 10
selected from different counties in the
state to draft an outline for fedora
tion of state farm bureaus was read
at the meeting and the great need of
by the members,
The following lis taken from the
Farm, Stock & Home issue of October
Is, outlines in a general form some
of the many things the federation will
aim to accomplish This is given be-
low:
A'Farn, Stock & Home realizes, of
course, that the platform or program
is to be adopted by the membership
Whatever this program may be, whe-
ther F.. S. e III. believes it goes as
far as it should, or that it may be too
radical, it must support the idea of
federation and eventual formation of
central body to represent agriculture,
Just as the United States Chamber of
Commerce represents business, or the
American Federation of Labor repre-
sents labor. F., S. & FL. was the first
farm paper IN the United States to
point out the vital need of such an or
ganization. It hopes however that the
Minnesota federation will not be afraid
of politics, the straw man that has !
been used on so many occasions in
the past to prevent real action on the
part of farmers There are two poll /
tical rocks that must be. avoided. Par |
tisan politics is one. allowing any In
diyidual to use the federation to fur {
ther his own political fortunes is the
other. To illustrate what F., S. & II.
means, here is the way the Michigan
federation lines up on politics:

IS Junior Red Cross.
The Junior Red Cross wishes to
carry on in peace times and it has
been decided that the Juniors may
work in three ways; first, relief for
suffering children throughout the
world; second, training for American
citizenship; and third, cooperation.
with other activities of the Red Cross.
The junior membership dues will
be the same this year as before 25
cents per pupil in a school The school
is the unit and it is only through the
school that any child may become a
member of the Junior Red Cross. Six
ty per cent of the dues paid in are
to he turned over to Division Head
quarters to be used to aid suffering
children of the world. The remain
ing forty per cent is to be used IN
some county enterprise.
The Junior Committee of Redwood
County is Of the opinion that the
Junior Red Cross would like to CO.
operate with the Senior Red Cross in
the support of Home Service Agent.
First Aid
Chapters and Branches are urged to
be active in helping TO prevent acciS
dents, in training children and peo-
pie m treatment after accidents, and
in training of life saving corps in each
community.
Finances.
Tt was made very evident sat the
conference that workers at headquar-
tiers strongly favor Capitalization Of
funds. There were two reasons for
this; first because many branches fail
to make reports to headquarters of
the collection and expenditure of funds
and second. because many branches
are inclined to spend the funds for
purposes not approved by the nation
al headquarters. 1t was also stated
with great definiteness that n brancn-
es where money is being expended for
unapproved purposes the executive
committees may expect to have it call
ed in at anv time There is no OBJ
lection on the part of the organiza-
tion to have money expended locally
but it must be locally expended for
only approved purposes. Miscella-
.neous expenditure of the funds is not
only deprivinoi the legitimate purpos-
es of their full support but it will
eventually thwart the work of the or
ganization and seriously handicap the
securing of funds.

Each community should intelligently
consider its health conditions. This
can best be done by health survey.
After this investigation has been
made, then the Red Cross should con-
slider what may be done about the
health conditions. The people of each
community should become health pro
moters by organizing classes in home
nursing and hygiene and encourage
profession. Each chapter is urged
to give a scholarship to some local
young women to take up nursing as a
nurse SO the chapter may feel it has
been the means of furnishing at least
one public health nurse.

British Investor
Still a Shy Bird
BY PERCIVAL M. SARL

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, June 25,-If the war
loans have done nothing else they
have taught the small investor to put
his money out at interest instead of
boarding it in the old stocking, the
teapot, or under the hearth in the
dear old mid Victorian style.
Despite the enormous growth of in
ternational finance during the past
forty or fifty years, it is safe to say
That there were hundreds of thou
sands-possibly millions-of workers
and small middle class money makers
who never dreamed of investing their
savings outside consols. In fact the
majority of them would not even
trust gilt-edged British government
stock.
At school they learned about the
South Sea Bubble" and said "Not
for mine" Colossal frauds like the
Jabez Balfour operations frightened
waverers off even tempting industrial
cooperative and insurance enter
prises.
But with the outbreak of the wal
and the wonderfully effective adver'
tising of war bond issues, the public
came out of their shells and said "li
is the patriotic thing to do to invest.
They did, and finding their dividends
coming in regularly, their appetite'
has been whetted. An immense army

AVIATION STUNTS
FOR CONEY ISLAND

LONDON, June 24.-(By United
Press. -" Shooting the chutes" and
"roller coasters" are has-beens."
Civilian aviation firms here are out
with the latest thrillers and it is ex-
pected Americans will soon follow.
The thrillers consist of flights di-
vided into seven kinds, as follows:
The Spiral at $5 a trip, in addi-
ton to the regular "fare" of $40
the Roll, which is a series of slight
dips, at $3.50; the Grand Roll, Sc
ries of larger dips, at S5; looping the
loop, at $40; the Falling Leaf, at $5
the Stalling, at SIS, and a plain old
fashioned flight, at SIS.
The falling leaf is considered the
best thriller. 1t consists of running
the plane at full speed and then tilt
ing the machine on one of its wings
until it begins to fall sideways witt
the lower wing pointing to the grounC
and then the pilot swings the plane
over on its other side. The thriller
ends with a nose-dive landing.
Easter, crowds stood waiting thei
turn to get thrill.
In addition to the above thrillers
there is a thriller for children. l
