Belfast Chapter A. R. C. To
Work For Japanese Relief

A meeting of the executive board
of the Belfast Chapter, American
Red Cross. was called by Mrs. Essie
p. earle. Thursday afternoon, and a
full attendance was the result. The
matter of raising funds for Japanese
relief was discussed and feeling that
the response will be hearty and gen.
erous, and as the city's quota is but
$500, with 5000 from the remaining
county towns, making a total of $500,
it was decided that for the present
at least, the subscriptions shall be
voluntary. The committee feels sure
that many Belfast people will be
anxious to assist in this work, and
checks or cash may be sent to Mrs.
earle, Linwood B. Thompson or Miss
Isabel CHM, treasurer OF the Chap
ter. Belfast citizens are very thank
full that one of its families was not
in Japan at the time of the disaster.

The reservations to be used for this
purpose are located in Pennsylvania

ticularly adapted for the purpose.
There are "a plants in all and the
ground about them available for game

if economic conditions could be

in an article just published.
The author arrives at the conclu-
sion that to eradicate leprosy in this

Resolution Defeated
To Release Gandhi

Sinla, India, Aug. PA. p. by Mail)
"A resolution calling for the early
release Of Mahatma Gandhi and 9TH
er political prisoners was defeated
after q heated debate in the national
Legislative Assembly In its present
summer session here.
Seshagiri Iyer. speaking In behalf
of the resolution, gave brief history
Of the political movement in India,
beginning with the inception OF the
National Congress in 1885. The
European war, he said, gave impetus
to democratic ideals which was sup
plemented by the announcement
made in Parliament in 1917 that the
British government intended to in
troduce legislation for the gradual
development Of self-governing insti-
tutiops," and the progressive realiz-
alton OF responsible government"
Mr.. Iyer pleaded that honest and
sincere patriots who chose the role
Of non -cooperators for what they be-
lieved to be the service OF the coun-
try and who single mindedly devoted
themselves to that service should not
be allowed to rot in jails."
Sir Malcolm Haley, representing

ton. saying: Heaven knows I wish

of justice and the interests of peace.
I have no animus against any OF
these misguided prisoners. l only
guard the peace and contentment OF

leased is the recurrence of that wide
spread disorder which characterized
India during the last two years"
The resolution was lost by a vote

Cooperation Among Farmers
REPLACES Spirit of Aloofness

Durham. n. H.. Sept. 7.-(By A. Po
Significant changes tending TO
check the economic trend which has
been sapping farm life have been
brought about by county agent work
in the interest of better farming. &C
cording to a report by ]. c. Kendall,
director Of cooperative extension
work in the University of New
Hampshire. Taking as a basis con-
ditions in Sullivan County, where in
August ten years ago county agent
work was first begun, Director Ken
dali points to numerous developments
which he attributes directly and in
directly to extension activities.
In the first place, the spirit OF
aloof individualism has very largely
gone" Mr.. Kendall says. people IN
the old days used to go to meetings to
scott at the agricultural specialist;
now they stay and ask questions.
They used to think it was a mistake
to share their ideas on farming with
each other; now they get together
and discuss ways in which they can
cooperate to advantage.
But the advance has not been one
in spirit only" he adds. and points to
scores of new houses built according
to extension recommendations; TO
standard feeding; the testing of two
score thousands of birds of birds; and
to hillsides of Macintosh apple or
chards destined to the axe and saved
only by demonstrations that the scao
could be controlled.
The building up of cow-testing as
sociations, the tendency toward bet
ter sires, hundreds of alfalfa fields
that yield three crops instead of two.
farmers exchanges which do an an
nual business in the state of Sl,2OO.O0O
are all evidences Of the movement,
Mr.. Kendall asserts.
Substantial results in making farm
life more desirable for young people
and their elders alike are also observ-
able. He points to better balanced
meals, more economical and attrac-
tive wardrobes, walls of more pre-
possessing appearance and kitchens
with modern conveniences. Last year
10000 women worked together to
make each other dress forms of
gummed paper cooperated in making
patterns and helped each other make
fireless cookers.
In addition. Mr.. Kendall points to
boys and girls clubs and asserts that
the significance of 1000 youngsters
training in various farm and home
projects is not easily waved aside.
