ballot, we have confronting uss the
 need for helping to solve the problems
 of the distribution of wealth; of the
 public health; of character building education. If America leads in world consciousness, we must lead in science, in the mastery of inventions and ma chinery. We have without question in America both the enterprise and ability. Our hope of success lies in the growth of our sustaining conscience. We hear all sorts of things, "that we must have leaders" etc. believe that leaders are born not made, and that if we educate our young people to be- come capable, willing, co-workers, that leaders for the various occasions and needs will emerge. =, *
 l believe that 8 certain amount of public sentiment and general informa- tion must always proceed active or ganized effort. Of course, if there is the nucleus of common interest, then organization and its resulting con- certed effort can accomplish inarvels, |. This then is my vision of connnun-
 ity. That it must rest upon the firm foundation of a conception of world brotherhood;, that the individual must find his life through devotion to this ideal; that organization must follow and never proceed generally felt need and that all community effort
 must swing completely around the cycle in the knowledge that its pur-
 pose must be a conscious effort to realize as I have said before, that "God is the helping of man by man."

Red Gross Roll Call Heard World Around

The Annual Roll Call of the Amerf. can Red Cross for registration of the membership for 1923 will begin on Armistice Day, November II, and close on Thanksgiving Day, November 30. The ground work for this stu pendous task of re-enrolling the mem. bership throughout the world has been iaId in a plan for the first complete and comprehensive system of registra- ton of the Red Cross membership In all it's $500 active Chapters at home and abroad ... .. ; An important feature of the round the-world Roll Call campaign will be a universal effort to re-enlist the serv- ice of wartime Red Cross workers in the peace, program by their particl. patton in the. Roll Call. In this way the vast army of volunteers will once more affiliate with the. work of the Red Cross in its manifold phases. Co- operation also has been assured by Government and private maritime in- rterests in deep-sea Roll Call that is designed to reach every member or potential member in every part of the world who may be en voyage or temporarily In any port.
 Thousands of Chapters will adopt he home canvass plan of enrollmen, which originated in Pittsburgh. where last year it resulted in membership increase of 90 per cent. All records in this years campaign will be kept cn standard size cards to be filed by each Chapter for future use.'

Extracts from Mrs. McMullen's
 SDeech ., '

| believe in the Woman's Club movement. l believe in it so earnest ly, and completely that I am prepared to say that I think the women of to-
 day, the largest leisure class the wor!c has, have in their hands the chance to do a piece of constructive work for society unequalled by any other one group. -,5 <. .: -
 I wish to ask few questions in order to get our minds to running in tine same channel.
 What is growth? Why do we have the word evolution? What does it mean? What is it necessary for us as individuals to believe before we have what may be called a social con- sciousness? Is evolution something imposed on us by the Infinite, or is evolution the thing upon which the Creative power, depends in the devel- oprnent of Its Infinite purpose? Is evolution or growth something which takes place without effort or direc- tion in the human race, or does it de- pend for it's well-being and develop ment, upon the power of determina- ton of the human race
 Responsibility, not freedom, is the key to democracy. Responsibility for one's self, for the good of the neigh bod, for the well-being of the democ- racy. Until every citizen feels this responsibility as unacceptable, there can be no permanent growth or com plete democracy. "-(Bailey.)
 Personally I am an optimist, I have no patience with the calamity holler- CT, who fails to see and marvel at the growth lin our feeling of the world brotherhood. But I cannot help but wonder how many of us realize that if every community were able to solve its own problems, take care of all questions of social need, poverty, wealth, crime, etc., that there would be no national nor international dif- ficulties? And if this statement is true where lies both the opportunity and the responsibility? Following the World War many people the world over believed there would be a great step forward in human relationships.
 The hopes of many have not been realized but I believe if we look close ly and long we will find ground for hope. .. :N5.. .E.. %
 The burden of proving that Chris tian democracy can be real and live up to our ideal in health and beauty is necessarily upon Americans; that means upon you and me. So what are he various concrete things with which We need to concern ourselves? First IS women in community life, we must grow in the understanding that we are lighting things, not people. Women he country over must enlarge their lowers to work together, leaving per onal feeling chained up at home. The most needed achievement is con- ,erted effort among women is an in- rease in personal tolerance. As new itizens, with the new power of the

A farmer in the cotton belt had q reputation for never wearing good clothes. His wife was continually re- preaching him for his negligence.
 With the maturing of his crop he journeyed to the city with the "first bale". The bale brought ten cents a pound more than he had expected and he decided to surprise the "old lady,"
 He went to a nearby furnishing store and purchased 8 complete and shining new outfit. Instead of put ting them on in the store he placed them under the wagon seat and be- gan the homeward journey.
 When about one mile from the farm he stopped by creek, stepped behind a large clunp of shrubbery and pro ceeded to take off his clothes, at the same time throwing them into the creek. They were carried away by the current. y ,..... :.

even the most sanguine members
