was attended by a good sized
crowd. Much enthusiasm was Gre

the day before. s. o. Morrow was
elected head Of the horse depart
ment, which place was made va
cant by the death Of Buu Lafferty.
Frank Wertx was also elected to
fill the vacancy in the machinery

of D. F. Keller. One thing settled
upon ut the meeting. which will
come as good news to- the ladies
of the community, was that . big
dinner would not be served this
year, but that the large crowd
would be nicely taken caTe Of at
the dinner hour at five or six large
hot lunch stands. which will be
properly scattered over this vii
1age. None will be disappointed re-
garding the dinner, because there
will be plenty for all to eat. The
exhibits promise to be even larger
than last year.

FIRST AID TRAINING
TO MEN AND WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Methods.

The purpose Of instruction in First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer
lean Red Cross is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand it. First Aid
treatment is not intended to take the
place of a physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
precautionary measure where there
is an injury Of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured few min
utes' delay may mean a fatality. In
such. a case person trained in First
Aid Is Invaluable not only TO the in
dividual, but through him to the COM
munity in which he lives
There Is perhaps no way of aScer
tanning the number OF deaths or Seri
Gus disablements which result from
lack Of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. 1t is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation of First Aid methods to each
case would UNNECESSARILY tighten the
country's toll Of suffering and death.
The dissemination Of First Aid train
ing and information has already pro-
duced a farreaChing and beneficial in
fuence In the prevention Of accidents
Oh railroads, in mines and in great in
dustrial concerns.

Fighting the Boil
Weevil Shown by
Motion Pictures

Help for southern cotton growers in
the fight against the boil weevil is
being prepared by the United States
Department of Agriculture in the
form of motion picture, showing the
methods used in controlling the wee
vii by means of calcium arsenate poi
sons applied by busting machines. The
views, which will not be available for
the first part of January, will show
the apparatus used, which covers a
large area in a day, and the detailed
parts and methods of operation, to-
gether with fields Of cotton and indi-
vidual cotton plants, bolls, and ginned
cotton where the poison has been ap-
piled and whore it has not. By the
persistent and intelligent use of this
department specialists hope
to keep the loss by boil weevils down
to 10 per cent. Unchecked, it has run
as high as SO per cent in some fields.

RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than $5,000,000 has been spent
the stricken people of Poland The
organization has nursed the sick. fed
the starving, clothed the naked, shelter
ed the homeless, schooled the children
and cared for the orphans there. 1t has
conducted a relentless fight against
typhus, cholera and other terrible dis
eases. So today millions of men and
women in that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation Of THE
Greatest Mother in the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged in relief &C
tivities in Poland. Four large relief
bases are in operation and eleven mo-
bile units are In the field. During the
last twelve months this organization
was largely instrumental in the re-es-
Enlistment of million refugees at
cost for general relief of more than
S1,0O0,0O0. Last winter one-half mill
lion war orphans were aided material
ly, and since then a series Of large or
phanages have been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid, Of
ficials Of Poland declared recently, mil
lions of people in that country would
have persisted Of disease, exposure or

And the work there must be kept up
for another year.
