By MrGNoN HALL

This is Armistice Day-and so no
one who is remembering the years
that led up to this most happily won
derful time can forget the great
share of tribute to which the Red
Cross is entitled upon this hallowed
occasion.
And so, to give each American in
Birmingham the chance to keep on
assisting those whom the great war
rendered helpless and disabled, the
Red Cross is beginning It's annual
membership drive for funds today.
Thus each person in the whole of
the metropolis is asked:
Please Join the Red Cross-pay
your dollar today, or one day next
week. Still the greatest mother in
the world this organization is so
ing on striving to give ex-service
men the aid they need for more pros
porous and happier lives; and it is
no less the duty of citizens today
to recognize and hear the call to
service than II was during the period
of the war.
VIII BE Booths
1--WE want to bring every disabled
man up to good standard of courage,
and are daily filing claims of
worthy ex-service men who are en-
titled to what their government al
lows them for their maintenance and
rightful support"
Edgar Bowron has been made ex-
ecutive for the drive, and there will
be a number of booths downtown
where one may easily pay his fee
and become a member Of the organ
ization that so tenderly nursed our
boys when. they were sick and SUI

Speaking this week, she declared:
"The keynotes emphasized most at
our assemblage were that we shall
continue to work on with all our
forces for the ex-service men, and
that we shall henceforth pay great
attention to emergency and disaster
work"
Fine Report
The lengthy report Of the Red
Cross work for last month shows
formidable figures, setting forth that

fighters from getting their dues from
Uncle Sam.
How many are the cases of men
who have contracted diseases from
their war service, and who have not
been able to get their pay, and yet,
should have their compensation un-
der the ruling that any man who was
enjoying good health when taken into
service but who, within two years
after the war. developed disease due
to his service, is entitled to support
Of his government.
1t was shown, in statistics pre-
sented through Mrs. Erie Drennen,
one of the executive committee. that
7o5 persons were ministered to In
some way during last month.
Persons who are on the outside
don't realize how much service the
Red Cross accomplished and is called
upon to do" she said. Practically
every day so miles is covered in err
rands of kindness, mercy and hu-
manity.
Government should Provide
Mrs. Blynd said striking thing in
this:
aIf a man is disabled and Is an ex-
service man. the government should
take care of him and his family in
can trace his disability directly to
his war service or not.
This would take care of class
of soldier that is badly in need at
present and dependent, many times,
almost wholly on charity"
Mrs. Blynd said that Congressman
Huddleston had been splendid In his
service for the soldiers, leaving no
stone unturned that proper justice be
done to all men who are entitled to
rishtful care from Uncle Sam.
Lends Money
The Red Cross also lends money to
the ex-service men and disabled, but
at the present time finds itself in
the hole over $4,000 in claims that
may never be met. All this takes
drive money. For the men are
worthy and have been unable to meet
their notes--for the present. The Red
Cross tries to be sure that no one
suffers in an emergency, and Is DO
ing great good even among civil
ians, to whom 1t ministers. and one
phase of its fine work Is the teach
ing of first aid to classes of civil
ians throughout the country just
now the local organization is main
tanning eight classes of loo members
each, and a very large class Is go
ing on at the Minor school at MulEa.
Miss Gail Macdonald is back from At
lanta to continue her instruction in
this branch of service.
SO give-and in giving-be sure
that your dollar is one of those SOL
diers that is fighting to bring things
back to as joyful basis as that
upon which America existed before
the Germans grew so ambitious that
liberty demanded men should die TO
preserve her justice for the universe.

LAND ADAPTED FOR REINDEER
Northern Canada, 1t Is Estimated,
Could Support Enormous Herds
of Good Food Cattle.

Canada is roomy land, and Its
back region can never be used for
agricultural purposes and where
neither sheep nor cattle can be raised
probably, comprises about 1,oWooU
square miles. If we may accept as
fairly accurate the statement OF Alas
ka reindeer men that reindeer re-
quires about 30 acres for grazing In
The sub Arctic and Arctic regions of
North America then Northern Cana
da can support between 30,WUUoo
and 10000, 600 animals.
Nilhiamur Stefansson, the Cana
! dian explorer. who has been trying
to convert his countrymen to reindeer
culture for several years and has CIV
en- the subject great deal of study,
thinks that the Canadian mainland,
north of the so-called habitable line.
and the great Canadian archipelago
can support 50,OOO,OOO reindeer and
musk-ox. another sub-Arctic animal
which he thinks may in the near flu
! ture furnish the world with an appre-
ciable supply of good, wholesome
meat-John G. Holme in Leslie's
