WAR WORK NOT AT
END FOR RED CROSS
Demands for Service to Disabled
Veterans Last Year Cost
Nearly $4,000 900.

Expenditure of 5000, 223.S for
services to disabled veterans. and Of
S507, $780, 80 for service to men of the
Regular Army and Navy, were out.
standing details of the Red Cross ap-
preparations for the past years activ-
tiles, and are cited by Chairman John
Barton Payne as the continuing i'm
portance of this phase of the organi-
zation's responsibilities nine years
after the end of the a
OF the total expended for disabled
veterans, the National Organization
contributed s1.161.223.Ss and the local
Red Cross Chapters s1.769. 900. The
service to men Of the regular forces
was shared by the National Organi.
cation with an appropriation OF s307,-
1872. 80, and by the local Chapters with
5000, 900.
During the year the Red Cross as
a whole contributed materially to the
success of the Government efforts to
have every veteran re-instate or con.
vert his wartime insurance before
the final time limit expired. Chap
ters worked in cooperation with local
veterans bodies to assist former serv.
ice men with their insurance papers,.
and the application routine, many
Chapters keeping open headquarters
up to the expiration of the final
moment at midnight.
Under local Chapters OF the Red
Cross, assistance to ex-service men
in filing claims for disability and ad.
justed compensation, securing hospital
care for disabled veterans. prepare
ton of social histories for use in
treatment of men in government hos
pitfalls, assistance in securing proper
guardians for veterans adjudged in
competent to administer their affairs,
rendering reports on home conditions
of service men applying for discharge
because of dependency. and many
other forms of aid are a part of the
Red Cross duty to these men.
An interesting detail reveals the
fact that prosecution of ~ex-service
mems claims is becoming increasingly
difficult as they grow more involved
with each year that passes since the
war. The number of death claims is
growing constantly, in addition to the
fact that there is a steady increase
in the number of claims referred to
various branches of the Red Cross
concerned with assistance to veterans,
for aid in bringing them to a close.
During the past year, National
Headquarters estimated that the Red
Cross assisted veterans and service
men with cases involving total awards
of $55S,681, for disability and death
compensation, revival of insurance,
adjusted compensation, pensions,
medical and burial reimbursements,
etc.
Red Cross representatives are on
duty with the Army and Navy both
in home and foreign garrisons, and
contact is maintained in the hospitals
and other centers where assistance to
these men and women may be needed.
Such Red Cross service, it is empha-
sized. covers only the fields where
regular governmental provisions do
not apply. and is designed to sup
plement these benefits of the Govern
ment.
1t was emphasized that this par
ticular activity of the Red Cross is
one of the strongest appeals for the
increased membership, which will be
asked of the country during the
annual enrolment from November II

NO EAST OR WEST
In Christ there is no East or West
In Him no South or North,
But one great Fellowship of Love
Throughout the whole wide earth
In Him shall true hearts everywhere
Their high communion find.
His service is the golden cord
Close-binding all mankind.
Join hands, then, Brothers of the Faith,
Whater your race may be!
Who serves my Father as son
Is surely kin to me.
In Christ now meet both East and West
In Him meet South and North
All Christly souls one in Him.
Throughout the whole wide earth

SOME WEEDS IN EVERY GARDEN
DR.. Roy L. Smith
WHEN John McGraw was told about the
w recent baseball scandal he remarked,
"There are some weeds in every garden -
Many people make the mistake of judging
gardens only by weeds.
1t is true there slums in American cities,
but there are also art galleries, free libraries,
art museums, night schools and many other
beautiful evidences of splendid living
There are hypocrites in the churches, also in
lodges, armies, lunch clubs, fraternities and re-
form organizations. But in those same churches
are men and women of high and unassailable
honor, genuine piety and beautiful unselfshness
Sheiks and flappers are conspicuous in the
ranks Of modern young people working their way
through school and living lives of sobriety, poise
and splendid endeavor.
Greedy men are engaged in many businesses.
Thugs sometimes get into responsible positions
in the ranks of organized labor. But American
business men are, generally speaking, upright
and honest and union laborers, for the most part,
are good, honest, home-loving American people.
few social climbers are found among the
new-rich. Some wild spirits on every college
campus. An occasional lawyer is shyster
Here and there policeman takes petty BRIDE
Once in six years baseball game is thrown"
But money does not make men despicable
colleges do not exist for hilarity and rowdish-
ness, lawyers serve the community faithfully in
a needy field, and no town could go without it's
police force for three hours without trouble while
the heart of the great American game is still
clean.
If we look only for the weeds we are sure to
miss the flowers.

We learned the other day that the State
Bank of Redwood Falls has at present 1857 ac-
counts. Of these 79S consistently carry a bal
ance of less than fifty dollars, many of them
running down to two three dollars for the most
of the time And this in the face of the fact
that accountants long ago stated that account
which didn't at all times carry balance of at
least hundred dollars is a liability to a
bank instead of an asset. The checking system
is the only systematic way of transacting busi-
ness, even when the amounts handled are small.
However, it is neither consistent nor fair that
the stockholders of the bank should bear the
burden of this system. Probably the same con-
ldition existing in the Redwood Falls bank also
exists in the other banks of the County. 1t is
within the realm of possibility, also reasonable
ity, that these banks win sooner later make a
monthly charge for the carrying of accounts
of small size. The Gazette has no authority for
making such prophecy except that we note such
a charge is becoming customary IN banks IN
neighboring counties; it is apparently very
just charge and one entirely within the scop.
of good banking service. We advise you to perk
up your bank account till it is fairly sizeable OF
