Annual Summons to
Red Cross Banner
On Armistice Day

Americas great humanitarian effort
In behalf of stricken Japan early in
September gave the answer to the
question, What is there for the Red
Cross to do in time of peace?" What
the American Red Cross did at once
when this crushing earthquake disas-
ter CAME without warning showed
that it was ready on the instant with
countrywide team work to carry out
quickly and effectively the request of
the President to lead the national eff
fort for the relief of the many thou
sands of sufferers. Preparedness to
take the field when relief is needed is
a charter duty of the Red Cross.
Without membership enrolled In ev-
cry community in the land this readi-
ness would be impossible. That is
why your dollar membership Is most
important
1t Is imperative that the structure
OF the American Red Cross be made
up of millions of individual units.
Opening Armistice Day. November II,
and closing with Thanksgiving Day.
November 20. the Roll Call this year
will penetrate to the ends of the
earth and to the ships sailing the
seven seas. The $500 Red Cross
Chapters In the United States will
have their busy volunteers enrolling
members during this period imbued
with renewed enthusiasm due to the
recent revival Of effort whom the call
came from Japan.

RED cnOSS ADVANCING
IN HEALTH CAMP AIGN
Extends Service to New Fields
and Brings Healing Hope to
Remote Sections.

"The supreme opportunity for lead
ership' for the American Red Cross Is
its health service. Thus committee
made up of prominent physicians, san
itarians and public health experts,
after months of exhaustive study re-
ported and urged that not only should
the Red Cross continue its present
service. but should undertake
comprehensive educational campaign
along public health lines, The an
nual report of the American Red
Cross, just issued. dscloses that 1t
has grasped this opportunity in the
fields of public health nursing, in
struction in home hygiene and care Of
the sick, nutrition work, first aid to
the injured and in water life-saving.
Health service is fundamentally.
historically and practically an impor-
tant function of the Red Cross, and
each year marks its extension into
new fields and along broader lines. In
the Red Cross Nursing Service there
are enrolled nearly 10000 nurses, TO-
600 OF whom served during the World
War, The past year Red Cross nurses
were assigned to duty in isolated
sections of Alaska and North Caro-
lima and to work among the fisher
men of Penobscot Bay, Me.
The Public Health Nursing Service,
inaugurated by the American Red
Cross in 1912. which operates chiefly
in rural sections untouched by other
public health agencies, has 1,03S Red
Cross nurses working under the di-
rection of Chapters. This work has
won so high regard that many Of
the nurses are taken over by the local
authorities to maintain health services
for their communities. Instruction in
Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick
is noting steady advance. Since
1914 certificates of proficiency have
been given 304,427 women who com
pleted the Red Cross course. In the
last year 26,595 certificates were
awarded and 65,901 students were un-
der the instruction OF 1854 Red Cross
nurses.
The benefits derived from meals
balanced to meet each persons pecul-
lar needs is winning widespread rec
ognition through the work Of the Red
Cross Nutrition Service, particularly
in the schools. During the school
year 2.6SS carried on regular instruc-
ton in nutrition, reached more than
1900 children and adults. More
than $3.50 volunteers assisted. in this
work. Throughout the country 35.2S3
health meetings were held under Red
Cross auspices, attended by approx
mately 254,500 persons.

FARM NOTES FOR

BY W O:-DAVlS. County Agent,
Wei on, n c.

November and December are
the most profitable months for
the poultry yard; that is for the
poultryman who is getting eggs.
There are certain things we
must do in order to get eggs
during the fall aud winter First
We must have healthy vigorous
chickens. Mouqre]s viii respond
to good treatment the same as
purebreds. Second we must
have a warm dry hen house.
Third. We must feed properly by
keeping a good laying mash be
fore the hens at all times, feed
lightly on grains. and then pro
vide q range if possible on green
feed such 3 o.ts or rye. These
things are not hard to do but
they are necessary for good egg
production. We are always
glad to render any service we
can to help farmers, farmer $
wives, or town lot poultry keep

The good price of cotton and
other farm crops this fall will
enable numbers of farmers to
make money this year. This
will furnish an excellent oppor-
tunity to get started into the
COW, SOW, and hen program to
meet the boil weevil conditions.
The sensible thing to do is to
realize that a change must be
made, decide what changes will
suit your Individual conditions,
and then start now to gradually
make the change while you
have the capital. The idea is
not to wait until the weevil for
ces you to change and then try
to make q complete change in
one year. Such a change is
more apt to result in failure
and will be much more expen-
sive,
