which ended the world War with only
slight decrease in calls for service In
the interest Of the welfare and re-
habilitation Of those who suffered
physical disability in the service OF
their country.
In tho interest of the enlisted men
serving in the Army and ths Navy
the budget provides $309.02o for the
current year. This is obligatory un-
der the Red Cross charter, for the or
ganization must act in matters OF vol
untary relief and as medium OF COM
munication between the people and
their Army and Navy.
Domestic Program Extensive
The domestic operations Of the
American Red Cross comprise an &C
curate Indicator OF the continuing
calls for expansion in all the estab-
lished and authorized services. The
budget aggregates s4,636,449.7o, as
against expenditures during the last
year Of s4,452, ,066.20. The abnormal
demands in the foreign field in the
last several years, however. have
largely subsided. and in consequences
$9O6, ,62S.11 has been set for the 1923-24
budget under foreign operations. On
this amount 1894, ,30391 is set aside for
engagements which will close the
work for the refugees in Greece. for
whose amelioration s2.6O5, ,696O9 was
expended up to June 30, when the
American Red Cross withdrew, and
the work was taken over under the
control of the Greek government. For
liquidation and completion OF general
relief in Europe the budget provides
100000, and for American Junior Red
Cross projects, foreign and insular.
and assistance to Chapters listed un-
der foreign operations.
Ready for Emergency Calls
The readiness of the American Red
Cross to answer Immediately with ef-
fective service in cases of emergency
is an outstanding feature Of its pro-
gram that is universally recognized.
During last year s525,000 was spent
for relief in 11O disasters which was
$2O7,500 in excess Of budget provi-
sions. This year 100000 has been
appropriated for this service. Since
1881 the Red Cross has administered
more than S2O,OOO,O0O in relief work
following disasters.
Other budget items in the schedule
for domestic operations include 81
2S2,524.20 for service and assistance
to the 5000 Chapters and their
Branches; $4,000 for assistance to
other organizations, particularly
stressing child health activities; 1884,
500 for Junior Red Cross projects and
service: s1O,S242o for assistance to
Nurses Training Schools, and for 9TH
er activities Sill, ,456.S0. For supervf
sion of service activities and general
management of the entire American
Red Cross less than S225, 1000 is allotted.

"Why, Jim!" protested Jennie. 1--WE
been counting on you. Don't desert
me!'
"Pm awfully sorry" said Jim, "but
l promised. I'll see you later"
One might have thought, judging by
the colonel's quizzlcal smile, that he
was pleased at Jennie's loss of her
former swain.
"We'll have to invite him longer
ahead of time" said he. Hes getting
to be In demand"
Jim seemed to be in demand-a fact
that Jennie confirmed by observation
He received a dozen invitations as he
passed the groups seated on the grass
one of them from Mrs. Cornelius
Bonner, who saw no particular point
in advertising disgruntlement. The
children ran to him and clung to his
smiles and such trlfles as chicken
drumsticks, pieces of cake and like It'd
bits. His passage to the numerous
group at a square table under big
burr oak was quite an ovation-an
ovation of the significance of which he
was himself quite unaware.
But Jennie-the daughter of a poll
tician and promising one herself
Jennie sensed the fact that Jim Irwin
had won something from the people Of
the Woodruff district In the way oI
Difference. Still he was the gangllng,
Lincolnian, addressed, over-stricken
Jim Irwin Of old, but Jennie had no
longer the feeling that ones standing
was somewhat compromised by asso-
citation with him.
He had begun to put on something
more significant than clothes, some
thing which he had possessed all the
time but which became valid only as
1t WAS publicly apprehended. He was
clearly the central figure Of his group,

CHAPTER XIV
The Glorious Fourth,

A good deal of water ran under the
Woodruff district bridges in the weeks
between the school election and the
Fourth of July picnic at Eight-Mlle
grove. But few surface Indications
there were of any change In the little
community In this annual gathering Of
friends and neighbors. Wilbur Smythe
made the annual address, and was in
rather finer fettle than usual as he
paid his fervid tribute to the starry
flag, and TO this very place as the
most favored spot in the best coun-
ty Of the greatest state in the most
powerful. intellectual. freest and most
progressive nation in the best possible
of worlds.
jim Irwin read the Declaration
rather well, Jennie Woodruff thought,
as she sat on the platform between
Deacon Avery, the oldest settler in the
district, and Mrs. Columbus Brown.
the sole local representative Of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion. Colonel Woodruff presided in his
Grand Army Of the Republic uniform.
The fresh northwest breeze made
free with the oaks, elms, hickories and
box elders of Eight-Mile grove, and the
waters Of Pickerel creek glimmered
a hundred yards away, beyond the
fitting figures of the boys who pre-
ferred to shoot Off their own frecrack-
ers and torpedoes and gger-chasers,
rather than to listen to those of Wilbur
Smythe. Still farther off could be
heard the voice Of a lone lemonade
vender as he advertised ice-cold lem
onade. made in the shade, with a
brand-new spade, by an old maid, as
guaranty that It was the blamedest,
coldest lemonade ever sold.

corrigible Marthas were spreading the

soon be placed the bountiful repasts

washington.-With budget Of VS.
543,077.S1 for carrying out the pro-
gram of service during the current fls-
cal year, beginning July 1, the Ameri-
can Red Cross announces that this
amount was $4,195, ,370.41 less than
was expended during the fiscal year
ended last June 80. During that year
expenditures reached total OF w.
73S.448.22, of which amount $780,
69609 was devoted to relief OF refu-
gees in Greece who had been driven
out of Asia Minor In announcing the
budget for the year, the statement
from National Headquarters empha-
sized the fact that its extensive work
at home and abroad depends almost
wholly upon the nationwide support
of the organization through enroll
ment Of membership in large numbers
during the annual roll call, which will
be in progress from November IL to
November 20 under the auspices OF
the $500 Chapters in the United
States and throughout the world.
These Chapters, it is pointed out, dur
ing the last fiscal year expended OF
their own funds approximately S3,92O,-
900 in work for the men who wore the
United States uniform during the
World War, so that the estimate OF
some $15.O00,0OO expended during
twelve months by the American Red
Cross as whole is considered con.
servative.
Soldier Service Stands First
From July 1, 1917, to June 80, 1928,
the American Red Cross spent nation
ally and through it's Chapters close to
S164,O00 900 in behalf of American sol
diers who served in the war and their
families. During last year the figure
alone mounted to more than $685.

be predicted with confidence that
again more than $500 900 will be dis
bursed in the large variety of services
to the dicabled men and women and
their families-services for which the
Government cannot provide and which

and went to your Christmas dinner she
would stay loose-but she went home

that Jennie was throwing herself at
Jim's head, but that was an article Of
the Bonner family creed since the de-
cision which closed the hearing at the

the young county superintendent
found tasks which kept the school

found his"
"Well," said Jennie, 'T wish his en-
vironment would find him some clothes.
It's a shame the way he has to go
looking. He'd be nice-appearing If he
was dressed anyway"
"Oh, then you haven't heard the
news" said the colonel. "Jim's going
to have his first made-to-measure suit
for Ames. It's all fixed"
"Who's making it?" asked Jennie.
"Gustaf Paulsen, the Dane that's
just opened a shop in town."
"a Dane?" queried Jennie isn't
he Bettina's uncle?"
"Ratherly," said the colonel jocular-
ly, seeing as how Bettina's Mrs. Han

Atkins, the tailor, and one built by

craftsman. could not be supposed to
be crucially important, even when de-

Jim was scarcely that-of course not !
Why, then, did the county superinten-
dent hastily run to her room, and cry?
Why did she say to herself that the
HansenS were very good people, and
well-to-do, and 1t would be fine thing
for Jim and his mother-and then cry
