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 very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work OF the Ameri-
can Red Gross. 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 TO 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 ether conditions
which may be improved BY united
action.
AS a result OF community organiEa-
ton, townships I'm 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 q result
of community meetings, as well as cir
cu1ating Libraries, Red Gross 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 10 being met Play
grounds for the children have beer
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort In carrying On the programs O.
the various welfare agencies In thu
rural districts, Red Cross Rural serv
Ice helps the organizations already O
the ground. The main object Of th'
service 10 to lend hand everywheT'
and take the lead only where n0cea

Banana EalIacx.

1t is the popular idea that bananas
are far richer in nutffment than any
other sort of fruit, and ii has even
been Bald that one could maintain life
on bananas alone. Now. as a matter
of fact, bananas are not so very much
more nourishing than any other fruit
At the present price we have to pay
they are less valuable as a food. Ac-
cording to table on the comparative
cost of total nutrients and energy in
fruits published a year ago and
bananas are more expensive now than
then-you can get 1.467 calories of
energy for ten cents when you buy
apples and only 429 when you buy ba-
nanas, and for ten cents you get al
most as much carbohydrates, or sugar,
in apples as in bananas. SO much for
the banana falIacy.

Says the Tampa Times: ct Is diff
ficult to see upon what grounds the
anti-suffragists are contesting the
validity of the ratification by Tennes-

standing the flight of the boilers to
Alabama, they did not succeed III
breaking the quorum, which went
ahead and ratified the suffrage amend
ment. Their action was duly certified
by the governor to the secretary of
state, and by him promulgated to the
nation. We are no lawyer. but we
fail to find any legal flaw in the act
If the sole purpose of the ants is
delay and the throwing of 100000
women out of their rights to vote al
the coming election it is childish act
unworthy of men intelligent enough
to be representatives in the Tennessee
Legislature"

1t is rumored further that some
false representations were made the

Thought he was getting information
from friends but he has since learned
that he has just fallen into the traps
of a foe that didn't care whoop for
his position or service except what
they could work him for-Lakeland
Star.
He seems to have fallen into many
such traps since Jan |, 1917. He
should be able to smell one mile off

and several other places had most
enjoyable time Friday as the guests
of the Fort Mccoy Knights at Eureka.
Beside the pleasant commingling of
friends and instructive talks for the
good of the order, there was big pic
mic dinner. which reached the acme
of righteousness and good cooking.
Fish fresh from the ripping Okla
waha, running near the dinner table
were piled up high on it. It was a
day to remember, and all who were
there came away feeling happy and
refreshed. When it comes to a good
oId-fashioned Florida welcome, none
can excel the Fort Mccoy knights and
the friends in their territory.
