Charleston, W. Va.-Reports today
from the disturbed mining region along
the LoganBoone county line were q
repetition of yesterdays, no more as
surfing, no less alarming.
Adjutant General Charnock was
back in the capital after hurried
trip through the district Sunday night
and yesterday He painted the situa-
ton so alarming that Governor Nor
gan sent midnight appeal to Presi-
dent Harding requesting immediate aid
In his request addressed to the
president and Secretary of War Weeks,
the govenor quoted the adjutant-
general as reporting that during the
trip he commanded armed bands to
dispense but they refused to do so and
continued to maintain patrols on the
roads along, the boundary line of the
two counties. Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad trains have been commanded

camps.
Efforts to communicate by telephone
with Blair and Sharples have been un-
successful for several days.

RACINE TRAIN
HITS KENOSHANS
Joe Pfarr and Art Butcher
Are Struck by North
western Train.
TAKEN 70 HOSPITAL

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Two Kenosha men narrowly escaped
death last night when the Dodge car
which they were driving in Racine was
struck by a north bound Chicago and
Northwestern train. The two men, Joe
Pfarr of 324 Broad street and Arthur
Bleicher of 407 North Sheridan road,
are now in the St. Mary's hospital in
Racine, where they were rushed imme-
diately after the accident at two o'clock
this morning
May Get Out During the Day.
The matron at the hospital stated
over the telephone that the two men
were resting comfortably and that if
nothing unforeseen happened, the men
would be released shortly. Nothing
serious is expected and the doctor in
charge stated that unless the men de-
veloped some internal injuries that had
not yet been discovered, they would
be discharged during the day.
Details Are Meagre.
Details of the accident are meagre.
The families Of the two men did not
know anything concerning the accident
other than that the two men were in
the hospital but not seriously nurt. It
seems that the two men had gone out
driving in the car and had driven
around Racine. 1t was about two o.
clock in the morning and the young
men decided to motor back to Kenosha.
On their return they crossed the Chi
cago and Northwestern tracks and Ivara
hit by the north bound train. The
members of the train crew notified the
authorities and the two men were
rushed to the hospital. The Dodge car
which the two men were operating was
badly damaged and a considerable re-
pair bill will be necessary to put the
car back into shape.

RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than $5,OOO,OOO has been spent
by the American Red Cross In aiding
the stricken people Of Poland. The
organization has nursed the sick, fed
the starving, clothed the naked, shelter
ed the homeless, schooled the children
and cared for the orphans there. 1t has
conducted a relentless fight against
typhus, cholera and other terrible dis
eases. So today millions Of men and
women In that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation Of THE
Greatest Mother In the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are nov engaged In relief &C
tivities In Poland. Four large relief
bases are In operation and eleven mo-
bile units are In the field. During the
last twelve months this organization
was largely instrumental in the re-es-
tablishment Of a million refugees at a
cost for general relief Of more than
81, 600, 600. Last winter one-half mil
lion war orphans were aided material
ly, and since then a series Of large or
phanages have been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid, Of
ficials Of Poland declared recently, mil
lions Of people in that country would
have persisted Of disease, exposure or
starvation the last eighteen months.
And the work there must be kept up
for another year.

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 Cross. Almost all OF the
$500 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in 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 a 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
rted on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advnn-
tage. 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 q 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 a 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 a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

treatment is not intended to take the

NEW BOOK

The new farm account book recon-
mended for farmers was planned by
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton in cooperation with the depart
ment of internal revenue and the Office
of farm management Of the United
States department Of agriculture.
The new book is especially cOnvc-
nient for those who have income tax
reports no make, because it is 50
planned that income tax reports can
be very conveniently made from it.
In fact, a duplicate summary sheet is
provided and this may be filled with
form 1910 or 1910 A as an income tax
statement, in place of the form 1040 f
usually used.
This is probably the most practical
and business-like account book so far
designed for farm records and will be
the standard book of the State college
and the Farm Bureau Federation from
now on, although the forms previously
put out will still be available for those
who wish to continue with the book
they have been taking.

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN EUROPE

But for timely assistance OF the
American Red Cross during the last
year, a large proportion Of the 2O,OOO,-
600 population of the Balkan Stateb
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth of food, clothing and medl-
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 sen 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,
orphanages, d~ispensaries, mobile medi-
cal units and to help In the general re-
construction Of devastated areas. Amer
iicap tractors and other farming nipple,
ments have been sent to the agricul-
tural regions where aid has been CIV

BY the last of this year probably
all American Red Cross agencies adj
ministering relief In Central Europe
will have withdrawn. BY that time. 1t
is believed, the people will have aP.
preached a normal state of living and
will be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped set
up to provide for themselves.

cation Of First Aid methods to each
case would immeasurably tighten the
country's toll Of suffering and death.
The dissemination Of First Aid train
ing and information has already pro-
duced a ~farreaching and beneficial in
nuence in the prevention Of accidents
on railroads, in mines and In great in
dustrial concerns.
The benefit Of a widespread knowl-
edge Of First Aid In the event Of q
great disaster, such as a train wreck,
an explosion, M earthquake, etc, Is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
(1) the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters, Of classes for in
struction in accident prevention and
First Aid to the injured among men
and women in all communities and In
every industry; (2) the Introduction Of
courses Of instruction In high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross is prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea-
sonable prices.
Every person in this country able to
do SO should, In his own interest, re-
ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction.
Information about the course and In
struction classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.
