A YOKE OF OXEN.

The Herald contained 8 ..::t.!s story yesterday
about the practice of the farmers in northern Min
|nesota, in the newer districts along the Canadian
Ihorder, of using oxen instead of horses as draft an
|imals. 1t is significant Of the change that has been
brought about in our methods that this practice
should have SO attracted the attention of visitors to
that section that it was thought Of sufficient interest
to make 1t the subject Of correspondence. The OK
once familiar to every rural resident, has be-
so nearly obsolete that in many sections it is
unknown. Perhaps once every two or three years
trekker drives a yoke of oxen through Grand
Forks, and the spectacle attracts almost as much
especially from the younger inhabitants,
las a circus parade would do.
The humble OK has been the faithful servant
man clear across the continent. The horse is the
OF domestic animals, and in the early days
our civilization the OK was in many respects
more serviceable. The horse takes longer to. reach,
maturity, his breeding and rearing are attended with
more risk, he requires more costly food and greater
care, and there are many places where he cannot
work to advantage.
Oxen were used very largely in clearing the
awkward ealfhood until his second winter the young
steer received no attention whatever except, per-
|haps, to be thrown an occasional forkful of hay
when the snow was too deep for him to browse. His
preliminary education was brief, intensive apd spir-
|ited, providing both vigorous exercise and hilarious
entertainment for the farm lads, and at two years
age he was ready for work. He snaked logs, pull
ed stumps and tugged at the pillow and stone boat.
Though awkward in appearance and apparently
sluggish in his movements, he was often as nimble
las a cat, and his doublings and ~twistings around
and around log piles were such'as few horses
could emulate. Properly guided, he did the heavy
pulling of the farm, and did it we'll, and, his days
work done, he gathered his own living from the lush
growth IF the meadow. He required and received
no %coddhng, no currying and no grain rations. And,
before the decrepitude Of age came upon him, quick
Iy fatted, he could be turned into excellent beef.
Much of the sod Of the Red River valley was
broken by OK teams. Horses needed oats, and oats
had not yet been grown here, and hauling them was
try and grew fat at their work. They were steady,
dependable and cheap. They had their limitations,
but they former acceptable service.
It seems strange to mention the automobile and
Iox ii Athe same breath, but an experienced driver
who has had his cars stuck in all sorts Of places,
tells The Herald that if he has to be pulled out he
would rather have the job done by a good OK team
than by any other power, as oxen combine strength
with steadiness and surefootedness in a remarkable
degree.

AMERICAN RETC 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 very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
5000 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 hearth instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play big
part.
Recreation is found to 10 one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack Of sufficient play-llfe 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
rled on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec.
reatlonal problems and getting people
together proves to he the awakening
Of the community to otIer conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS a result OF community organiza-
ton, townships Ia whith 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 n1slcal entertainment
courses have been started as a result
OF community meetings, as well as cir
culatlng libraries, Red Cross schools OF

the Sick and First Aid In the larger
towns the need for restfooms and pub-
lie comfort stations IS being met PLAY.

established and recreaiional activities

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 Suites 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
ganlzatlon, generally known as the
"Fourteenth" Division, which has
Jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska,
Porte Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the is
land of zap, which came under our
nag as. "a result of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
S0S0S paid up members.
The main object of this division Is
to give our citizens everywhere the OPP
portunity to participate In the work
of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
in far places intensely loyal and pa
trlotic, treasure their membership in
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston of their citizenship. It is an.
other tie to the homeland and to
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, Manchurla Netherlands. Mica
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
Unreasonable 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 Civ
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.

RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than 100000 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. It has
conducted a. relentless fight against
typhus, cholera and other terrible dis
easel. SO today millions Of men and
women in that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation Of 1.-THE
Greatest Mother in the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged IN relief Oc-
tivitles 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-
adjustment of a million refugees at a
cost for general relief OF. more than
100000. Last winter -ohe-haf mil
lion war orphans were aided material
", and since then a, series of large or.
phanages have been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Gross aid, of.
fcials Of Poland declared recently, mil
lions of people in that country would
have perlshed Of disease, exposure or
starvation the last eighteen months.
And the work there must be kept up
for Another year.

FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men And WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds Of Thousands Life
Saving Methods.

The purpose Of instruction IN First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer
lean Red Cross Is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and lntelllgently when
emergencies demand It. First Aid
treatment is not intended to take the
place Of a physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
a precautionary measure where there
ls an injury Of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured a few min
utes' delay may mean a fatality. 10
such o case a person trained In First
Aid is Invaluable not only to The Ia.
diyIdual, but through him to the com
munity In which he lives.
There Is perhaps no way OF ascer-
talnlng the number Of deaths or serl-
Gus dIsablements which result from
lack Of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment II Is safe to ar
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation of First AID methods to each
case would UNNECESSARILY tighten the
eountry's toll of suffering and death.
The dissemination Of First Aid train
ing and information has already pro
duced q farreaching and beneficial in
1uence 10 the prevention Of accidents
on railroads. 70 mines and 10 great In.
