twenty-seven states suffered The
largest and most destructive Of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,

Indiana and Illinois,
In these events Of horror $50 per

1900 were made homeless, about 3d.
900 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly S100,0O0000 and al
most 100000 in relief funds, not in
Guiding emergency supplies was ex-s
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red

plies, Ito Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs Of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals One hundred

EDITOR HOLLAND SHOWS
INTEREST IN FAIR

TIE st. Helena Echo recently offered
a years subscription for the best ar
ticle on the subject, THE value of
community fairs" The prize was
awarded to Miss Alice Davis Of Green's
burg, but according to Editor w. T.
Holland two other contestants were
very close seconds. Following is the
prize-wtnning article:
Community fairs are splendid or
CARNATIONS for the betterment of the
farmers and their girls and boys and
for the improvement of neighborhoods.
They bring the community together to
discuss their common interest and to
compare ideas as we'll as products.
From these fairs we get good express
siOns from farmers that otherwise we
would never hear. They point out pos
sibilities to some and they see where
they can improve their own methods
by seeing what others have done along
these same lines.
Community fairs are an incentive
to boys and girls to make better eff
forts in-their club work, for when they
know their products viii be placed on
exhibition and come in direct compar-
ison with others it makes them more
careful and painstaking in their UNI
dertakings. 1t isn't the value of the
cash prize as much as it is the desire
to win the honor OF having the best ex-
hibit The bit of blue ribbon has the
same power to arouse a feeling OF
pride in their work as a cash prize
would.
II hope in another year we win
start in time to cooperate with our
country agent to make our fairs bet
ter and broader in every way"

RELIEF IS PROMISED
Railway People to be Given Fair OPP
portunity to Remedy Conditions Be-
fore Further Action is Taken

A conference was held yesterday in
the rooms of the Chamber Of Com.
merrc between the board of directors
of that organization and Mr.. Norman
Grey. president of the Washington
Virginia Railway Company and sew
cral of his associates.
It is understood that, this confe.
cnce was at the request of the officials
CT the Chamber of Commerce and that
it was for the purpose of calling tho
railway officials attention to the pre-
sent condition Of their roadbed, tie
condition of their equipment and ta2
present method of operating the road.
1t is stated that it was brought
very forcibly to the attention of the
Wash;ngtcn-Virginia Railway pecr;e
that existing conditions on their lines
were considered most detrimental 70
this C;ty's welfare and that the Cham
Der of Commerce felt. that il was
their immediate duty to do every
thing within their power to remedy
this situation.
Mr.. Grey and his associates stated
that they had been operating undo"
very unusual and trying condition:
during the last year Or .Ho, but th@:
they were of the opinion that these
conditions would steadily improve frc n
now on and gave every assurance thai.
very extensive improvements would be
undertaken at once in the city cf
Alexandria so far as their tracks are
concerned and that the roati5ed be-
tween Alexandria and Washington n
would be looked after immediately,
and they also stated that they had
every expectation Of having sh:ppa;!
from the builders about forty new
cars within the next month.
The railway people further stated
that they were very anxious to r,
n,edy any conditions which worked
against the best interests of .AleNac.
dria, and as they seemed to fee! 50
sure that they would be able 70 show
def'r results along the lines dis
cussed, the Board of Directors vi the
Chamber of Commerce decided 20 con .
tinue this matter over for t!e present
as tbs will give lie railway officials
a fair opportunity % demonstrate
their ability to promptly remedy con-
Etions complained Of.
