AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL help
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns of less
than 5000 population benefit In a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red CEoss, Almost all of the
5000 Req Cross chapters have some
rural sections u their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
Ice Is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play big
part.
Recreation is found to be one of the
biggest needs In rural life. There is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants,. debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
gross rural workers to great advan-
rage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
OF the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
As result of community organiza-
ton, townships In which there had
been neither plans nor interest In
community progress have been organ.
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
OF community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have. been
established and recreatIonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs of
the various welfare agencies In the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv.
Ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object of the
service is to lend hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

LOST In THE WOODS.
Aged Ellsworth Woman Survives
Three Days Exposure.

Three Days Exposure.
After three days and three nights
in the woods without shelter,
food or water, Mrs. Mary Cal
name, aged eighty-two years, was
found Monday afternoon, alive.
After three days of unsuccessful
search for her, no one dared hope
that the aged woman would be found
alive.
Mrs. Calnane has been living with
her daughter, Miss Mary F. Calnane,
teacher in Cambridge, Mass.
This summer they came to the old
home at "Beechland" on the Tren-
ton road, fitting up camping quarters
in the barn, the house having been
burned. Friday they went Deriving.
Leaving her mother not far from the
camp, Miss Calnane went in to mix
an egg-nog for her. Returning in a
few minutes, she was unable to find
her mother. This was soon after
noon. After an unsuccessful search
for her, Miss Calnane called the
neighbors to her assistance, and later
Sheriff Wescott was notified, and
good-sized hunting party was soon
formed. The search was continued
until long after dark, and all day
Saturday and Sunday many ready
volunteers secured the woods in the
vicinity.
Monday afternoon Fred G. Smith
Joined in the search, working care
fully back and forth across selected
strip, marking it as he went. After
an hour of this, his quick huntsman's
eye detected two or three broken tops
of small frs crossed on the ground,
as If someone had prepared to lie
down. Believing he was on the
right track, he then travelled in
gradually widening circles, and in
about five minutes more came upon
Mrs. Calnane seated upon a log, hid
den by small frs. Her head was
bent forward to her knees, one arm
hung listlessly to the ground. She
was too weak to hear or notice any
one approaching, or to make herself
heard if she did hear them. In fact.
Mr.. Smith at first believed her dead,
and when he touched her shoulder
was surprised to see her turn her face
toward him. She was conscious
enough to realize that she was found
at last, and to express thankfulness

water. Her clothing was torn to
shreds, her arms and legs black with
bruises, and her nails and fingers
worn to the quick where she had
fought her way through the under
brush or dragged herself on her
hands and knees. 1t is not likely
that she could have survived another
night in the woods.
She was found on the Edgar Jor-
dan woodlot, not far from the Morri-,
son district cross road, and about
three-fourths of a mile from where
she was last seen. She had crossed
the main road from where her daugh-
ter had left her, which threw the
searchers off the trail, most of the
searching being done on the eastern
side of the road.
Mrs. Calnane's mind is weakened
by age. She is unable to give any
connected account of her wanderings.
She is still weak from her terrible
experience, but seems not to have
suffered any serious i'll effects. Mrs.
Calnane and her daughter deeply ap-
preciate the kindness of all who so
willingly Joined in the search, and
Miss Calnane asks The American to
express for them their gratitude.

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance OF the
American Red Cross during the last
year, large proportion of the 10000,
900 population of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth of food. clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia. Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning of Red Cross re
lief operations In Central Europe.
while millions of dollars worth of food
alone has been sent to the needy In
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross In this stricken portion OF Eu-
rope has been used TO set up hospitals,

BY the last of this year probably

will be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped set
up to provide for themselves.

China Sees Early Trade
Resumption With Russia

PEKING, Sept. IT (By The Associ-
ated Press. The possible early re-
opening of trade relations with the
"Far Eastern Republic" is forecast in
a communicate just issued to the press
by the Foreign Office. AS result Of
efforts made by a delegation from the
Verkhne-U Udinsk government, headed by
NJ. Yourin, there are to be formal dis
cussions on the subject.
"In view of the contemplated re-
sumption o? commercial intercourse
with Russia by most of the powers Of
Europe and America" the communique
says, sit behooves the Chinese govern
ment to follow the tendency Of recent
international events and act in accord
with the attitude OF its associates in
the European war.
because Of the chaos in Siberia and
the inability Of the old Russian official
representatives in China to carry out
the functions for which they are re-
sponaible, the adoption OF some modus
vivendi is Immediately and urgently
necessary to regulate to some extent
the trade relations between the two
countries and to protect Chinese citi-
zens and their interests in Siberia.
meanwhile representatives Of the
Far Eastern Republic, headed by M.
Yourin, have been asking permission
to proceed to Peking TO negotiate on
the same subject. The Chinese mission,
having been assured there was no
othcr purpose but to deal with COM
ruerciai matters, permission was
granted several months ago."
