Governor Brewer was spending
money in Cooks behalf. Anderson
also charged Cook with being lazy
and Indifferent on the bench and
said many of his opinions were
loosely and carelessly written.
Anderson seems to have had the
best of the argument, as he won by
over 1000 majority, carrying % of

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits a community
fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado-the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at it's 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 80,
there was an average OF four disasters
q month In the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities In
twenty-seven 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, 1900 were injured,
1900 were made homeless, about 3d.
900 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly 500, 1000, 600 and al
most q, 100000 in relief funds, not in
Guiding emergency supplies was ex-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth of sup
plies, 40 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs tf the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals One hundred
and fuanfx-fva RM1 CraSa chon+ors
gave disaster relief service.
II disaster ever strikes this town or
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be right on
hand TO help them In every way.

ables one to use weighed quantity
of seed from the sample, to separate
the pure seed from the foreign seeds
and other impurities, to distinguish
the character of the foreign seeds, and
to make the termination test.
Only by using weighed quantity
of seed can one determine the relative
quantities of pure and of impure seeds
in the sample. This requires bal
ance sufficiently sensitive to be moved
by small weight, such as that of
few clover seed. But balance of this
kind, designed to rest on the edge of a
knife blade, can be made two lead
pcnciles, two cardboard disks two
pieces of wire, some rubber bands, a
darning needle, a common brass pin,
and two bits of board. The only
equipment needed consists of few
BIB shots, fattened to be used as
weights.e With this balance, if the
pure seed from sample balance 10
shots and the Impurities balance one
shot, the sample is shown to be 90
per cent pure. Some shots may be
cut into halves, quarters, cights, and
siXtcenths for fractional weights.
Such other apparatus as is dcsir-
able can be made or bought at small
cost. a pair Of forceps for picking
up the shots and for separating seeds
can be made of two thin strips Of
hickory, or piece of spring wire
bent into U-shapc and having the
points ilattcncd. n magnifying glass
is needed, but the common reading
glass to be found in many homes or
that can be bought at a cost of 81
or - serves the purpose well. Seed
can be best examined over white pap
or and, to prevent loss of seed, a pap
CT tray is desirable.
There are many simple devices for
making termination tests. For for
age crops and cereal seeds, one of the
best consists of two dinner plates and
two pieces of blotting paper or cloth.
One Of the blottcrs is placed on a
plate and the seed scattered over it.
Then it is covered with the other blot
ter and the other plate inverted over
the whole. There arc several equally
simple methods of testing seed corn.

from tho writings Of Henry Ward Bccchcr:
One may perceive at n glance how

IL will begin with supplicatim for our

and felt longest: and by the greatest
number Of tho world felt chiefly. Next

trouble. for remedy, for shelter in danger
In thus too, the soul may exercise its own
liberty; there are no mctes nor bounds
Then, next, prayer is drawn forth by
heart sorrow. a wounded spirit, n brrlis-
od heart, naturally turns for confidence
and soothing toward God. Its prayer
may be suppication for help, or it may he
only recitation for the sake OF peace.
Next, and far higher. prayer be-
comes the resource Of q heart exercised
for It's own religious growth. II is the

committed, and plaint of sorrow for
them. IL is the SOULS liberty TO 90 TO its
