Ardmore seems to be harboring an
angel unawares in the matter of its
Red Cross chapter. This is not
meant as a tribute to Mrs. Squires,
though frequently she appears in some
such glory 10 the discouraged and
disabled soldiers who are her patti
ents, but it refers to the office IT.
self From information just revealed
il is noted that the office Of the
Carter county chapter is one of the
most efficiently and cheaply admins
tered of all the chapters in the coun'
try.
Force of circumstances may have
had something to do with it, for Ard
more has not supported this worthy
endeavor as it should have,--possibly
because the need has not been gen
orally known. Last summer it was
rescued from the doldrums by the
timely assistance of the American
Legion and Woman's Auxiliary, but
It is again in Strengthened circum-
stances with no such prospect in the
immediate future. While Mrs. SQuires
has been obliged TO plumb all the
depths of that pastime known as
doing without" in order to accom-
plish this result 1t is gratifying to
learn that her efforts have been re-
warded with such Recognition.
Expense Next to Nothing.
The total office expenses last year
We're s241.77. Through the kindness
of the city the overhead expense Of
the Red Cross has been reduced to
minimum, thus enabling all money
accruing to be expended strictly for
soldier relief work. This is the true
sphere of tho Red Cross and consists
of tiding over the families of the
soldier who has become incapacitated,
IN the service of his country, from
earning his own livelihood. The gov
ernment awards compensation TO these
men, but long ard weary is the wait
between the filiEs Of such claim and
its final adjudication. Necessarily,
it takes time Meanwhile what is a
starving and tubercular soldier to
do? Apply TO the Red Cross, OF
course.
How il Works.
This done he is granted a temper
ary loan same TO be repaid upon re-
ceipt of his compensation. The secret
of economy is the collecting Of these
loans. In Ardmore this has been

done solely through the gratitude Of
the assisted men. They have been
very punctilious in the matter and
have thus enabled the office TO run
on returned loans.
However, cases are not rare where
it is manifestly impossible to grant
loans or 10 expect returns from the
soldier. In fact these cases are con
stantly being presented today. Then
n grant is made and a family is re-
habilitated in so far as possible and
maintained at the expense of the Red
Cross till the claim Is satisfactorily
adjusted.
Expense is Pared.
Non-essentials in the management
Of the office have been pared to the
limit in its administration. By hook
and crook, ways have been devised
where a quarter here and a dollar
there could be saved and applied on
the relief fund. 1t has necessitated
endless detailed scrutiny of every cor
ner and a great application of effort
on the part of Mrs. Squires to bring
this about, but her attempts have
resulted in Ardmore and Carter county
having a Red Cross chapter that
ranks high in the official selected list
of chapters and is considered in st.
Louis one of the key chapters.
VIII it Love?
But the end is in sight. Even with
all these heroic efforts on the part Of
the secretary the office can no longer
be maintained unless Carter county

portunity and renders material aid
