Natural gas is a great convenience
in those regions where it is found, but
the supply is not unlimited and in
some sections, notably in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, it is now giving out.
In fact, much of the gas now being
used there is being piped from West
Virginia. The present want is due in
large part to the past waste. Special
lists of the Bureau of Mines, who are
conversant with the situation, say that
unless conservation is practiced in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, the fields
there will be exhausted in three or
four years, but that with proper econ
omy they will yield sufficient gas to
light and heat for Is years the sec

Secretary Meredith
Buys Baby Beef
from Club Member

When Secretary of Agriculture
Meredith attended the Eastern States
Exposition this fall, about the first
place he visited on the grounds was
the arena where that day the prize
calves of the club boys and girls were
being auctioned off.
Within 20 minutes after Secretary
Meredith had entered the grounds he
had bid on the Hereford calf which
had won the second prize at the ex-
position. He has sent the calf to his
Iowa farm.
Each member in the calf clubs,
which are organized by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the State colleges, owns the calf
which he cares for and feeds under
the advice of his club leader. The
calves which won the county prizes
then compete for State honors, and
at the Eastern States show the 10
Eastern State winners competed
against each other. When the awards
are finally made an auction of the ami
mails is held.

is burned are the biggest offenders,
consuming as they do much greater
quantities of gas than is necessary.
On the farms in the natural-gas re-
gions, when a light is needed in the
yard, field, or elsewhere out of doors,
a pipe is tapped, lighted, and burns
day and night for perhaps years. The
farmers who own natural-gas lands do
not have to pay for the gas used.
With Pittsburgh as center, cam
paign is now on to educate the con-
sumers to save gas. A scientific as
sistant from the Office of Home Econ
onics of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is in charge of
the work among the housewives. She

women learn how to change an old

Why Should We Help?

At Vercknie Udinsk, 1000 miles IN
the interior of Siberia, DR.. ". T
Cain, Of Underwood, North Dakota
operated a clinic which was supported
by the American Red Gross. The
work was started under great difficult
ties, because the Russians could not
understand how any organization
would do what these American doc
tors and nurses did without asking for
compensation of some kind. At first
they were very suspicious, and few
cases were brought in to the clinic
However, as the five or six patients
who first received treatment there re-
turned home, confidence in the Red
Cross workers grew, and the clinic
was soon treating as many as $50
cases in a day.
All sorts Of diseases were cared for
at the clinic. During the winter
months typhus fever was widespread,
and victims of this plague were
