on each succeeding visit it pleased him
to note the change for the better in
the child. Her devotion to her teach
er was something pathetic. This was
the period when Judson Marsh
changed his course of life. A time too
when the merest passing word with
Miss Revere seemed to cause him to
lift his head higher, and the influence
of a worthy resolve was noticeable
in his brOnzed, impressive face.
1t was about a month before Christ
mas when the settlement was visited
by Marsh on horseback. There was
something about him that reminded of
imperative ways. In turn he visited
twenty of the leading men and pre-
sented to each his proposition. Time
was when anything Marsh suggested
was carried out from motives of policy.
In the present instance he found will

'And who'll pick out the instru-

men asked.
"Oh, I'll go to the city and attend
to that. You can trust me, boys"
answered Marsh readily. 81 was
something of a player myself years
ago. Now then, this is to be a secret
until Christmas"
That was agreed upon. Also it was
arranged so that on Christmas Eve
the scholars gave a concert in honor
of their devoted teacher. The piano
had been smuggled into the home at
dusk while she was at the schoolhouse.
She came home alone, as it was
planned that she should. She noticed

money squanderingly in games of
chance, indulging in fist fight daily,
generally maintaining a terrorizing in
fluence. Always had he disdained the
gentle cheer of Christmas and the
good pledges of New Years. but this
especial Yuletide period he had re-
mained quietly on his ranch, had do
mated freely to charity and only his
eagle eye had flashed and his lips
became stern and firm as some derisive
pal of the past sneeringly intimated
that he had reformed and had taken
"the goody, goody pledge!"
No one could trace the cause Of the
remarkable alteration in manner and
deed except Marsh himself and he
was a close mOuthed man. Perhaps
Gladys Revere suspected, but if so
she said nothing. She had come to
the crude, wild settlement to teach
school.
The Marsh ranch was ten miles from
the settlement and there was no school
in it's immediate vicinity. It's owner
was a young man not over twenty-five
years of age, but he maintained quite
an establishment. His widowed sister
had lived with him until she died,
leaving a shy, puny little girl, Made

Marsh, and his face and manner did
not belle what she had heard of his
being a well educated member of a

any young companions. l have heard
of your kindly care for these little
ones. Won't you find her a good

"She shall be as an own sister"
replied Miss Revere spontaneously,

tender embrace, and the result was
that little Madeline became an occu.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
ice is 10 assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play big
part.
Recreation is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There Is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
As result of community organiza-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest In
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose Of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
Of community meetings, as we'll as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools Of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations Is being met Play

established and recreatlonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may he concerted

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance Of the
American Red Cross during ehe last
year, a large proportion of the 20OO0,-
600 population of the Balkan States
might have starved or perished from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth Of food, clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans- -Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning Of Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe,
while millions Of dollars worth Of food
alone has been sent to the needy In
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross In this stricken portion OF Eu-
rope has been used to set up hospitals,

HOME SERVICE FOR
EVERYBODY IN NEED

Do you know what the present day
Home Service of the American Red
Cross Is?
Many people do not know that, be-
sides completing the work for e1-serv-
Ice men, especially the disabled, 1t pro-
vides the same neighborly service to
families In general that 1t formerly
gave families Of soldiers, sailors and
marines.
"Home Service covers wide and
varied field" says Frederick G. Num-
roe, general manager Of the American
Red Cross. 'It gives aid to families
In solving such problems as budget
planning, marketing, tiding over times
of financial stress, keeping children in
school, helping crippled children, Wild
owed and deserted mothers, children
backward in school and children in
conflict with the laws 1t renders serv-
Ice to the homeless and transient, to
the illiterate, to tenement dwellers, to
the unemployed, and gives friendly as
sistance and advice to foreign speak
ing groups"
In addition to helping families in
the solution of their own problems.
Home Service helps In Strengthening
the weak spots in the social life OF
communities. 1t joins hands with 9TH
ers to make communities safer,
healthier and happier.
Organizing action along lines In
which the community Is already inter-
ested Is one of the objects Of Home
Service. 1t has established community
meetings, patriotic celebrations, pag-
eapts and picnics. Rest rooms. recre-
alton facilities, play supervisors and
moving pictures have been provided.
Through Home Service other agencies
are influenced to bring about improved
commercial amusemerfts and better
school facilities and to promote travel
ing libraries as we'll as to secure coun-
ty agricultural and home demonstra-
tion agents.

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits community
fire, food, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado-the American Red
Gross can be depended upon to follow
right at Its heels with help for the
stricken people. Red Cross relief Is
almost Immediately forthcoming-food,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience In handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June 30.
there was an average Of four disasters
a month in the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities In
twenty-seyen states suffered. The
largest and most destructive Of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama. Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events Of horror $50 per-
sons were killed, 1500 were Injured,
1900 were made homeless, about 3D.
600 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $100,OO0,000 and al
most 100000 in relief funds, not in
Guiding emergency supplies was e1-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth Of sup
plies, 10 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs Of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
II disaster ever strikes this town or
county, tae citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be right on
hand to help them in every way.

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
FIourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and its department
Of nursing Is daily increasing this en-
rollment.
The department of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. 1t will continue 10 supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which ii has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t will assist in establishing proper
nursing service in foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
ganized hospitals. dispenSaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands Of women who
have never received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was In its infancy short while ago
has been put ahead at least a decade
through the work Of the department
Of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex-
tended to many rural communities and
now fiourishes actively in hundreds Of
small towns and counties. Nearly q
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind Of work
The department Of nursing is unit
ing with other organizations in years
campaign in recruiting. nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen.
eral public as to standards Of nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools of
nursing. 1t VIII endeavor to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrolment of dietiuans who will be
utilized as instructors In home dietet-
les, In developing nutritional clinics,
and In supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity of securing instruction In
home hygiene and care Of the sick in
every community In the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun-
dation for public health but in some
places has given impetus to the estab-
lishment Of hospitals and community
school houses.
AS community profits by the work
Of the nurse" says Miss Clara D.
Noyes, director Of the department of
nursing, at Is logical that the COM
munity should be aroused to its respon-
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in a general cam
paign Of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
of the medical profession as well as
the intelligent cooperation of the
people at large"
