A Political Prophecy

A Kansas friend Of the writer il
sojourning in California, and in .
letter gives the following political
situation In that state: 81 note In
the press dispatches that some wild
eyed individual has rendered Mr.. Cox,
Democratic presidential nominee, the
electoral vote Of California by ct
least ten thousand. He sure is gem
srous, He hasn't missed it much
over . hundred thousand-possibly
two hundred thousand. California
will 20 30 overwhelmingly Republi-
can that it will wear out all the adj
ding machine in the state to figure
it up. All factions Of the Republican
party are solidly united out here for
the whole ticket headed by Harding.
The leader is Senator Hiram Johnson.
You may not like Hiram, but you viii
have to admit that he is some vote
getter when he starts, and he has
started for Harding with vengeance.
l have talked with dozens of other
prominent men who take an interest
in politics and they say the same
thing. Scores Of prominent Demo
crAst announce that they will vote for
Harding. California went for Wilson
in 1916 by $500. 1t was fluke and
San Diego county, normally 5000
turned in but a scant 100
for Hughes. San Diego county will
make up for that fiuke this year with
a record breaking majority"

RED CROSS ASSISTS
DISABLED VETERANS

The American Red Cross Is carrying
on a wide program Of service for the
disabled WoAld War veterans receiving
treatment in United States Public
Health hospitals, and those being train
ed through agencies Of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
In each of the Public Health Service
HOSPITALS Red Cross workers devote
their time to the general welfare of
the service men from the day they
enter the receiving ward until they
are discharged. After the soldiers dis
charge the Red Cross continues Its
friendly service through the Home
Service Section in his own community
The Red Cross maintains GONZALES
ssE. ssuas at all Of the hospitals,
where patients can amuse themselves
after they are we'll enough to be up
and around. Parties and picture shows
IN the wards are also furnished, with
occasional excursions when GONZALES.
cence comes.
Great service has been rendered by
the Red Cross in mental cases in iden-
tifying those who have appeared IN
state hospitals for the insane, and help
ing them secure compensation due from
the Bureau Of War Fisk Insurance.
In the Federal Boards various dis
trict offices the Red Cross worker, act
ing with the Home Service Section,
makes necessary loans to the men, ar
ranges suitable living conditions, helps
collect evidence and supply facts to the
Board, assists in appealing cases. and
settles various personal difficulties for
the men. The workers also follow up
and aid all men who discontinue train
ing.
The Red Cross agents, find men "lost'
to the Board, help clear up delayed
cases and aid the college counselors In
their friendly work with the men.
Many Red Cross chapters have set up
recreation facilities, and In some In
stances living clubs, so these victims
of war may have attractive surround
ings and the fun which must go with
effective school work.
To the American Red Cross Institute
for the Blind near Baltimore, Md.
more than half Of all the Americans
blinded in the World War have come
fo- training. The Institute, through
the Red Cross, long ago conducted al
exhaustive industrial survey to deter
mine the vocations for which blind
men could be fitted. AS result 1t is
nutting forth well trained men equip
ned TO meet the social, civic and eco
ncmic requirements of their respective
communities.

A TRAVELLING
POTATO EXHIBIT
An Educational "Sugar-Spud
Train

Clemson College, August. 18.-A
sweet potato train will tour the
sweet potato territory of South
Carolina in the near future to help
instruct farmers and warehousemen
in proper harvesting, grading and
packing, curing, and marketing of
this now very important crop.
Visual instruction will be conveyed
by means of a model sweet potato
house, standard crates, harvesting
implements, grading tables, speci-
mems of standard grades, disease
charts, etc., besides sweet potato
literature to be distributed.
This travelling exhibit and school
of instruction is being put on by the
Extension Service of Clemson COL
lege, the South Carolina Sweet Po.
tato Association, and the Southern,
Seaboard and Coast Line railroads.
The Extension Service will furnish
horticulturist whose speciality is
sweet potato work, a market
specialist and potato disease
specialist; the Potato Association
will have present one of its district
directors, and the railroads will be
represented by men from their agri-
cultural departments. These experts
in various matters pertaining to the
sweet potato will conduct informal
potato Institutes at the various
points where the potato train will
stop. A schedule of places and dates
for the travelling exhibit and school
is now being worked out and will be
published as soon as possible.
One of the matters that will be
stressed is the importance of early
harvesting as opposed to the old
idea of waiting till frost. To this
end there will be demonstrations to
show green and ripe potatoes, with
suggestions on how to know when
to harvest.
Following the work of the Sugar
Spud' train, the South Carolina
Sweet Potato Association expects to
conduct early in September men,
bership campaign in each of the
even districts of the Association,
'fnd county and community cam
paigns will be projected from these
district campaigns. These campaigns
meetings will be held in easy reach

continental boundaries of their country
sons and daughters of the Stars ana
Stripes residing at the far corners OF
the earth.
These people compose the lnsuiar
and Foreign Division of the parent or
ganization, generally known as the
"Fourteenth" Division, which has
Jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the Is
land of zap, which came under our
flag as a result of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
30,S0S paid up members.
The main object Of this division Is
to give our citizens everywhere the op-
portunity to participate in the work
of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
ir far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership In
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston of their citizenship. 1t Is an
other tie to the homeland and TO
each other. There are chapters OF
this division in Argentine, BOLIVIA
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic
Ecuador, England, France, Guam''
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras
Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines

Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions in money, and millions
of dollars worth Of necessary articles
for the men in service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service in their respective
communities for the families Of those
who had gone to war, and in some re-
gions gave large sums Of money and
immeasurable personal service to the
relief of disaster and disease victims.
The division is now establishing
service clubs in foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans in trouble in foreign lands
and completing arrangements TO" CIV
ing immediate adequate relief IN case
Of disaster.
It is the Fourteenth Divisions part
in the great Peace Time program OF
the American Red Cross.
