NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
Flourishing 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 to supply the
needs OF the United States Public
Health Service to which It has as
signed more than 1000 nurses In the
last year.
II Will assist In establishing proper
nursing service IN foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or.
ganized hospitals. dispenSurics und
schools for nurses. Courses ia 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 a short while ago
has been put ahead ut least 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 q 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 will endeavor to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrolment Of dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors in home dletet.
ics, In developing nutrltlonal clinics
and In supplying dietitlans 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 a community profits by the work
Of the nurse" says Miss Clara D.
Noyes. director Of the department Of
nursing, ut is logical that the com
munity should be aroused to Its respon.
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help In 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"

The Fordson tractor which ] pur-
chased from you last May has prov
en- perfectly satisfactory with the
exception of some minor troubles,
which have been adjusted by you
without cost to me.
For field work, especially, I have
never seen any tractor that can sur
pass the Fordson.
I cut practically my entire grain
crop with it and sowed my peas with
grain drill and expect to cut my
hay, using this tractor in the place
of mules.
/ can easily say that it will cover
from 25 to rs per cent more ground
in cutting grain thar mules will.
In using the Fordson the fuel costs
be about SO cents per acre.
