after talking with Miss Todd, the
local secretary, feel that they have
100 per cent. more rights for com

effective in bringing into action the

The cleanup squads work in this
locality was most aptly explained by
Miss Jean +. Todd, executive sccrc-
tarN. Augusta chapter. 1t was decided

Seven hundred missionaries were
sent out and over POO answers were
received. The cleanup squad arrived
Sept. 2S and they stayed week. They
saw 80 men, 125 had physical eXami-
nations and 40 new claims for com

was very 1luCn worm WINE.
Max l.. Stoddard of Portland was

called upon to tell something about

and will work. If they are to die they

SO much better tell it than he. In
the very shortest possible way, he
said the question could be answered
in the words, Because the Red Cross
keeps its word" The promise was
made by the Red Cross when the
men entered the war that they and
their families would be cared for and
that is what the Red Cross is now
doing.
Another light upon the care of the
soldier was shown by Miss Gertrude
Ordway. director of the Red Cross
hospital service in Maine. How the
chapter can help the eX-soldier in
the hospital was what she spoke
upon The hospital workers are very
dependent upon the chapters. Only
and give information to the hospital
can the service man be helped.
At the Marine hospital last year
personal service was rendered to over
$50 men and 1850 letters relative to
the work at the Marine hospital
alone were sent out.
How the Red Cross serves the dis

A fight for the removal for the ma

The election of officers concluded
an all-day session marked by debate

verely the speech delivered by Col.
George Harvey, ambassador to Great

cussed the reasons why the United

The other compensation resolution

anna books had a combined sale of 75S,OO0 and established a new school of fiction.
 Last year 1s2O) Zane Grey rose Nabove all other writers of best sellers. when his books sold in 1000, 900 copies annually. On the other hand, there is o. Henry, who did not live to witness the popularity of his stories-now past the 4,500,0 mark.
 The increasing popularity of Jo- sceph Lincoln's Cape Cod stories has resulted in paying demand for some 500,000 copies. The American sales of E. Phillips Oppenheim's books ex- ceed 2,000,000, while Mrs Rinehart has reached the 300, 0,000-a-year class.
 Quite number of authors are in the 100000 class Among these may be mentioned James Oliver FCurwood, Kathleen Norris and Ethel Bell but this sounds truly tame when you bear in mind that Rudyard Kipling last year sold 100000 volumes, and that for the last four years the sale of Mark Twain's work has aggregated 750,000 copies annually.
 Of course, Eudyard Kipling is an immortal and Mark Twain Is destined to a long life. Even H. G. Wells once reached the big public with 'Mr. Brittling," of which 245,00b copies were soldI But most of the writers enumerated above hardly can be ex- pected to survive. One Is surprised at the good luck to some of them, or should 1t not rather be called good management? For instance, it is de- cidedly surprising that the English translation of Senor Ibanez's great book, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" should have sold in 750. 900 copies. But that was war book and came at q psychological moment, and Senor Ibanez's colorful vivid style took the American world by storm.
 According to Mir. Jenkins, Main Street" is the most recently achieve ment in this line of peaceful con quest. It already has captured 266,- 900 purchasers, and, of course is only starting on its first year of success.
 All of us who read at all know that these facts are more or less true, and show that others besides our selves. those more expertt. like the Boston Publishing house member, not in the amateur class of readers, mar vel at the popularity of certain books of the periods referred to, while others recalled of that day and time are now forgotten, or as mat ter of fact were very little read.
 It seems to me that the lesson in all this is very simple one. namely
 Tt pays to advertise"
 It's up to the publisher, in other words, who exploits book, to "boost" it and advertise 1t like "a houee fire" Don't you think SO g'-~>
 And isn't the popularity of book also largely influenced by the will- ingness of the author to lend himself to such commercial enterprises, to CO., operate with the progressive pub fisher, in his benevolent efforts to make it Igor"

 noon at o'clock at the home of the brides father, Mir. T. B. Tanner, the marriage of Miss Willie Mae Tanner and Mr. George Carns, Jr., was an event of much interest to wide circle of friends.
 While simple in plan. the decora- tions for the wedding were carried out with charming effect and were beautiful in arrangement.
 In the living room an altar was ar ranged with palms and pink and white asters, at each side of which were tall floor baskets of the same lovely flowers. Smilax was fes- tooned about the doorways and graceful ferns were effectively used in decoration.
 Mrs. William Rogers of Anniston had charge of the nuptial music and played the wedding march. Miss Re- becca Bazemore sang Because" and "All for You"
 Miss Hattie Harrell, the maid of honor, was attractive in a gown of blue taffeta, and Mrs. J. R. Hum phrey, matron of honor and recent bride, was handsome in a dress of white satin with lace trimmings. Both carried bouquets of Russell Poses.
 The bride was lovely in her going away suit of almond brown tricotine embroidered with blue silk, with blue hat to match and bouquet of bride roses, orchids and valley lilies.
 She was given in marriage by her father and was met at the altar by
