Among the most enthusiastic and I energetic members of the American j Red Cross are those citizens of th? j United States who live outside the j continental boundaries of their country j ?sons and daughters of the Stars and ] Stripes residing at the far corners of j the earth. These people compose the Insular ] and Foreign Division of the parent or- j ganization, generally known as the j "Fourteenth" Division, which has j jurisdiction of all territory outside ! the country proper; that is, Alaska, j Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the j Philippines, Guam, and even the Is- j land of Yap, which came under our j - ?i DM* flag as a result 01 tne wonu wm. rut , the year 1920 this division reported 30,808 paid up members. . The ruain object of this division is to give our citizens everywhere the op- I portunity to participate in the work j of the organization which stands for j the best national ideals. Americans | iff far places intensely ioyal and patriotic, treasure their membership In the Red Cross as the outward expression of their citizenship. It is another tie to the homeland and to each other. There are chapters of this division in Argentine, Bolivia, Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, England, France, Guamf Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras, Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Porto Rico, Siberfa, Spain, Sweden, I Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay, j Venezuela and Virgin Islands. During the war these scattered j members of the Red Cross contributed millions in money, and millions of dollars' worth of necessary articles for the men in service, and sent many doctors and nurses to France. At the | same time they carried on an excel- j lent Home Service in their respective nnmmnniHes for the families of those .who had gone to war, and in some regions gave large sums of money and j immeasurable personal service to the j relief of disaster and disease victims. The division is now establishing service clubs in foreign ports for the benefit of sailors in the American Merchant Marine, making plans to aid Americans in trouble in foreign lands ! and completing arrangements fov giving immediate adequate relief In case of disaster. j It is the Fourteenth Division's part in the great Peace Time program of ! the American Red Cross. - , i RED CROSS ASSISTS DISABLED VETERANS 1 A 1 The American Red Cross is carrying on a wide program of service for the disabled Wo*ld War veterans receiving | treatment in United States Public < Health hospitals, and those being trained through agencies of the Federal : Board ror vocational niuuiauuu. .. In each o{ the Public Health Service } hospitals Red Cross workers devote j their time to the general welfare of ' the service men from the day they enter the receiving ward until they _ are discharged. After the soldier's dis- ,1 charge the Red Cross continues its ] friendly service through the Home j Service Section in his own community. The Red Cross maintains a convales- ] smt% mm it all of the hospitals, J where patients can amuse themselves a^er they are well enough to be up j nnd around. Parties and picture shows in the wards are also furnished, with j occasional excursions when convales- < cence comes. Great service has been rendered by the Red Cross In mental cases in identifying those who have appeared In | state hospitals for the insane, and help- / Ine there secure compensation due from the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. In the Federal Board's various dls- I trict offices the Red Cross worker, act-1 ing with the Home Service Section, makes necessary loans to the men. ar- 1 ranges suitable living conditions, helps 1 collect evidence and supply facts to the | Board, assists in "appealing cases" and , settles various personal difficulties for ! the men. The workers also follow up ' and aid all men who discontinue train-1 ins?. The Red Cross agents And men "lost" , to the Board, help clear up delayed | cases and aid the college counselors io 1 their friendly work with the men. j Many Red Cross chapters have set up i recreation facilities, and in some In- j stances living clubs, so these victims ! of war may have attractive surround ing.s and the fun which must go with j effective school work. To the American Red Cross Institute , : for the Blind near Baltimore, Md? i j more than half of all the Americans ' I blinded in the World War have come \ ! for training. The Institute, through .

As a result It is , putting forth well trained men equip-1 perl to meet the social, civic and economic requirements of their respective communities.

Visual insruction will be conveyed by means of a model sweet potato House, standard crates, Harvesting implements, grading tables, specimens of standard grades, disease iharts, etc., besides sweet potato literature to be distributed. This traveling exhibit and 'school of instruction is being put on by the Extension Service of Clemson College, the , South Carolina Sweet Potato Association, and the Southern, Seaboard and Coast Line railroads. The Extension Service will furnish horticulturist whose speciality is sweet potato work, a market specialist and a potato disease specialist; the Potato Association will have present one of its district directors, and the railroads will be represented by men from their agricultural departments. These experts in various matters pertaining to the sweet potato will conduct informal potato institutes at the various points where the potato train will stop. A schedule of places and dates for the traveling exhibit and school is now being worked out and will be published as soon as possible. One of the matters that will be stressed is the imporance of early harvesting as opposed to the old idea of waiting till frost. To this end there will be demonstrations to show green and ripe potatoes, with suggestions on how to know when to harvest. Following the work of the "SugarSpud" train, the South Carolina Sweet Potato Association expects to conduct early in September a membership campaign in each of the even districts of the Association, ?nd county and community campaigns will be projected from these district campaigns. These campaign? meetings will be held in easy reach tg the call for "Better Homes he call and be happier. "A rours worthy of its King?o ting. fleet your culture and refine] ir wife's good taste.
