AMERICANS ABROAD
 IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away Enthusiastic Members of the
 Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and energetic members of the American Red Cross are those citizens of the United States who live outside the continental boundaries of their country sons and daughters of the Stars and Stripes residing at the far corners of the earth
 These people compose the Insular and Foreign Division of the parent or ganization, generally known as the 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 Tap, which came under our flag as a result of the world war. For the year 1920 this division reported 3O,SOS 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 in far places intensely loyal and pa triotic, treasure their membership in the Red Cross as the outward ex- pression of their citizenship. It Is an- OlneT lle to CQ0 QOIl0IdnQ dHU lO 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, Nica- ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden, 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 for giv- 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.

Cooperative Marketing Pays


 ''It was only a little lesson in cooperative marketing" is the modest statement of a Tennesee woman whose activities have produced prosperous dairying community.
 In 1909 IA women were, or ganized at Pulaski. Tenn, to demonstrate the theory of CO., operative effort. Butter and eggs from the relatively few cows and fowls of the commun- 1ty were assembled and market ed. The quality of tie products due to the care taken in selcc- tlon and preparation. was such that they commanded the high est prevailing prices. The wom- ems husbands began to take TO- tice and soon interested them selves in dairy cows. This led to the introduction of Jerseys. separators, silos, milking ma chimes, and the shipping of whole milk and cream.
 Similar results are being se- cured in many sections of the country, state experts of the Bureau of Markets. United States Department of Agricul- ture. The movement frequent ly starts with small group of farmers, farmers wives. or boys and girls. who quickly demonstrate the advantages of improved production and of marketing methods. The coun. ty agents advise those interest ed in the formation of such organiz ations and the admins tration methods to be adopted and are glad to render every as- slstance upon request.
