RED CROSS BUSHES AID IN
EXPLOSION ON WALL STREET

According to the superintendent OF
the Broad Street and Volunteer hospi.
tails of New York, the work of the Red
Cross after the recent Wall street ex-
plosion proved almost Invaluable. The
explosion happened at noon on Ser.
TENDER 16. Red Cross ambulance
units with those OF downtown hospi-
tails and the police department. were
on the scene In time for first aid
work. But the principal activity OF
the Red Cross was to assist the hospi.
tails to which the injured were taken.
Before the afternoon had passed 80
nurses had gone TO aid the regular
forces at the Broad street and Volun-
teer hospitals. Eighteen Red Cross
field directors assisted in hospitals
and in compiling and furnishing in
formation concerning dead and injur-
ed. Large quantities of hospital sup.
plies and apparatus were furnished,
as well as food. Three ambulances
and two trucks were on duty. and
through the Red Cross social service
the matter of getting in touch with the
families OF victims was competently
handled.

Through the Junior Red Cross the
school children Of this county have an
important part in work OF the local
Red Cross chapter. Throughout the
Northwest school children are taking a
keen interest In the activities In which
they are engaging as members OF this
organization. These activities do not
interfere In any way with the regular
work of the schools, but they do add
zest to class room studies.
In Portland. Tacoma. and Spokane
the Juniors have financed clinics.
where children have been given dental
and medical examinations. In numer-
Gus counties throughout Idaho. Ore
gon and Washington they have made
provisions for first aid kits in every
rural school. Besides other activities.
the Juniors OF Boise. Idaho. are provid.
ing flowers for the Barracks Hospital
In that city where many disabled ex.
service men are receiving treatment.
Poor. crippled children In many towns
have received badly needed atten-
ton. and the bills have been paid out
OF funds raised by the Junior Red
Cross.
Through the Junior Red Cross
thousands of children in Europe have
been fed and given medical care
through contributions by members of
the Junior Red Cross In this country.
The Juniors of.the Northwest gathered
large quantities Of clothing for the
wild Children OF the Trails" who
were recently returned to their homes
by the American Red Cross after hav-
ing wandered uncared for over the
wastes OF Siberia. And now, through

possible for children In this country to

AGAINST THE
 SHORT STAPLE
EXCHANGE SEEKS TO IMPROVE VARIETY OF COTTON IN THIS STATE.

Directors of the Little Rock Cot ton Exchange yesterday decided to open an active campaign to discour- age the planting of "half and half" and all other short staple cotton. The Arkansas Cotton Trade Association will also conduct a campaign of pub- licity on this subject. H. M. Cot trell, agriculturist of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau has been conducting such campaign. The local cotton men will send out circu- lars to banks and merchants, asking them to support this move, as the cotton men say it is of vital impor- tance to merchants and farmers over the state.
 In 1914 and 1915 the government warned farmers of the southwest against planting varieties of cotton that usually produce staple of less than seven-eights of an inch, espe- cially such varieties as are said to produce half seed and half lint. This cotton comes in competition with the cotton of India, the government circular said, and it is desired to keep the American staple on a higher level in order that the American crop may not be forced to compete in the markets of the world with the cotton of India.
 The section that produces this short staple cotto min quantities soon establishes reputation for an infe- rior product, said the government circular quoted, and the price of all cotton in such markets will suffer on account of the poor reputation of the market.

NEVADA MAY GET
 COUNTY AGENTS
r.RRY F. KAPP OUTLINES PLAN WHEREBY NEVADA COUNTY CAN SECURE SERVICE OF AG-
 RICIJLTURAL AGENTS.

At the regular meeting of the Com
 .srcial Club held at the city hall on
 thursday night of this week, which
 royed to be one of the most inter
 ssting and profitable of the Clubs
 career. Harry F. Kapp of Little Rock,
 district agent of the Extension De-
 .artment, outlined plan which will
 ultimately mean the securing of the l ,adly needed county agricultural
 .vants for this county. MT. Kapp's nlan which is the approved plan Of tbe department, is for the appoint rent of man in each township and .hese chairmen will form what is call sd the county advisory board, each ,eceiyine commission from the de- ,artment authorizing him to serve .s an official member of the board. This board will then be used as a uedium between the extension de- nartment and the farmers; assisting in all the campaigns put on for the benefit of the farmers. It is believed that by the time the next quorum court meets, the advisory board will have enlightened the people of the eounty on the importance of the work that the securing of necessary ap- nropriations will be easily accomplish sd The club, immediately follow inc MT. Kapp's talk, endorsed the in sanctions laid down by MT. Kapp.
 We wish that we culd reproduce in these columns the splendid talk made by Mir. Kapp so that all our readers could get the benefit of hls timely suggestions along the agrlcui- tural line. He spoke at length on the farm as manufacturing plant, and the farmer as a business man, saving that only through co-opera- ton. could the farmers ever hope to accomplish anything. He gave flg- ures show that counties that have adopted the cooperative marketing plan have saved the shippers of live stock etc., thousands of dollars which otherwise would have been licked III
 by the middlemen. One instance IS that of Hampstead county. Thls county shipped last year Al cars or livestock under the above plan with the assistance of county agent w. Homer Pigg, the shipments totaling about $6O,OOO, which would have brought to the shippers under the
