HOW ABOUT FREE WOOL?

! WASHINGTON, ID. c. October 13
the wool growers of the coun-
try protected from the importation Of
competing cheap wool by the Republi-
can protective tariff, John w. Davis,
Democratic candidate for President,
is officially on record in favor of
completely breaking down the tariff
wall protecting this great American
industry.
The wool grower hasn't any too
easy time of it, anyhow government
figures show. Yet, while he was a
member of Congress John w. Davis
made a speech in the House declaring
that it was fallacious to believe that
the life of the wool growing indus

RECORD DISASTER YEAR

Cost $737, sos.

One hundred and ninety-two disas-
tiers resulting in 735 deaths and injury
to 1882 persons. rendering nearly
1900 homeless and causing property
losses estimated at more than $44,750,-
600, established a new record in the
United States in the year, ended last
June 80, according to reports OF the
American Red Cross. In all OF these
disasters Immediately relief activity
was applied by the Red Cross. which
expended $737.eo3.37 through the ma
tional organization and the local
Chapters in assisting stricken COM
munities.
AS the nations chief relief agency,
whose service covers over 43 years.
the Red Cross Is expected to be on
duty almost as soon as disaster
strikes any locality. This trust and
confidence is amply justified by the
increasing equipment Of the Red
Cross, which recently organized a mo-
bile disaster unit Of experienced work
err ready In all parts of the country
to respond on the instant to a call
for active duty. This unit is capable
OF operating in several disaster areas
under one general direction, and re-

ties in I'VE states at the same time.
Ability. alsrtness and increasing

THE preparedness Of Red Cross for
disaster operations, be the call for 3
disturbance in a restricted local area
or for millions in relief funds for s
staggering catastrophe such as the
earthquake in Japan.
The Red Cross, however. is far
from being self-satisfied, for the or
ganization is giving the most serious
consideration to measures for pre-
venting disasters It's relief admins

have won for it nationwide regard.
Thatathis important work can always
