PLAN RURAL WELFARE

Southern Rural Districts.

What will you do if we have an

This is the question that is being an
Iwered daily by DR.. &. L. Morgan, ma

vision. From community to commu-
nifty, DIR. Morgan is visiting and study
Ing IN Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama His latest address was before
The Home Service Institute at Vicks-
burg, Mississippi, where he said that
the question of preparation for cpl
denies is of paramount Importance.
"If district is found unhealthy and
Il 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 Off
cials, and the sanitary 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 1t is expected that public
health will be improved to a great ex
tent through their cooperation with
Red Cross public health nurses.
Look around your own town." DR.
Morgan told the Red Cross workers
"and see if it is orderly and clean, OF
If it is dirty and unsanitary. If the
death rate is too high, there is a rea
son-and you must find out that rea
son. All of the people are stockhold
ers in the community and their stocH

Is kept, and the property improves il

This conversation, or one like it, is

dreds Of pals" in the service, or Just
discharged from it. Various difficult
ties have been experienced by soldiers
In getting the bonds for 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 in
form 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 associa-
ton, which win 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 his
bond to the Red Cross representative,
who obtains it from the bond section

IRRTTATED CIRCUS Bear
BITES LITTLE GIRL

A little girl named Singleterry Of
Cravens. who ventured too near bear
which was sick and tied on the outside
of circus tent, was attacked by the
animal, quite severely lacerated, and
was not rescued until the animal had
been shot several times, after a blank
cartridge exploded in its face had fail
ed to arouse the fear intended.
1t seems the bear had been sick and
had been tied outside the tent. A bar
ricade of boxes had been erected to
keep the crowd from pressing in too
cosely, but in some way the little girl
slipped under the tent wall and APP
preached the bear which seized her.
A keeper appeared and fired a blank
cartridge. but this failed to brighten
the bear sufficiently. Ii became neces-
sary to shoot the bear twice before
he grip was broken. Though severely
bruised and scratched and very much
frightened, it was not thought that the
girl was much injured
