When on November 11 the world halts to observe the fourth anniversary of Armistice Day, and the America* Red Cross inaugurates its Annual Roll Call for the enrollment of th? 1923 membership, the people of the United States may well pause to think of the unparalleled contribution to the j cause of peace made by our Army and j Nary in the World War. The glory of < It is a common tradition; but the j wounds of war remain. They are not | healed jn a day, in a year, nor in four \ years. And on Armistice Day there j will be under treatment in Government hospitals over i!5,000 ex-service men, i broken physically by wounds, exposure, nervous strain and exhaustion incldem to their service in the war. The Government without stint is un- j UCIld&XIig IV X UIUIOU uiroc i men with the compensation and medleal care to which they are entitled, yet their especial care Is a duty of the Red Cross. Why? Because the Government cannot handle the cases of ex-service men individually; It must i handle these men in bulk under a | standardized policy. The Government | has neither the authority, the funds ( or the equipment for working out the problem of the individual man. There is where the American Red Cross finds its greatest field for service, aid-! ing through its very active Chapters j 'n reaching the disabled man with im-' mediate practical help, assisting his: family while his claim is emerging from j the process of adjustment, furnishing: articles of comfort, funds to tide over J the difficult periods, the friendly touch ' of personal encouragement, helpful recreation and worry-dispelling amusement. ?It is the warm hand of sympathy and understanding which the American Ited Cross extends to the, majority of those disabled ex-service, -' I . men, somt" 1>I UICIU mcnuirss J" mc j t whirl of life, thousands of them with j < *- wives and children dependent upon j c them, and hundreds of th^pi frequent-1 ly helpless in tlie face of grim ne- t cessity. i: 2,679 Chapters Aiding Veterans I ' In this work, upon whose accom-' 1 pllshment the American lied Cross Is!

S. * Veterans' Bureau. An average of 8,000 J new cases requires definite and par- ! ticnlar attention each month. The demand for Chapter-made articles for ' hospital patients is constant. Ehrring last year Service Claims and ' Information Service at National Head- \ quarters handled 37,200 compensation ' and Insurance claims. 24,560 allotment ' and allowance cases, and 9,700 mlseel- 1 laneous claims. Since February, 1919, ' It has disposed of 64,174 allotment j checks payable to veterans which ths Fost Office Department reported undeliverable. The Chapter Is the unit of the Red J Cross organization which Is accessible to every disabled veteran or his family. Between July 1, 1921, and June 30, 1922, the Chapters had reported 1,665, i 079 Instances or service to ex-service i j men and their dependents, at a cost! j estimated from reports now at hand of j I more thaR $.r?.340,000. J I | The basis of this far-reachlnjr work ' [ of the Red Cross is the individual ' i needs of the disabled veteran to the ' . end that he may obtain his rights un- 1 der the law, that his especial wants i may be immediately supplied, that hl? j1 own and his family's situation mar oe ' rendered happy and cheerful, and that ! their outlook for the future may 1 visualize Incentives for independent 1 I' and fruitful effort. 1 ; Spread Christmas Joy Abroad More than 100,000 Christmas boxes ' r.hilrlron of CVnfrnl PlirOHP were paeked oy the Junior Red Crosa 1 ' last year.

The American Red Cross as a evangelist of heifer health lias lookc us promein square in tup race. n?v Unaccepted the task revealed to it 1 the nation's physical condition n brought out during the World Wai and conscientiously applied Its aotiv ties to correction forms a vivid chai tor in the forthcoming annual repor Historically and practically, nursing i a basic work for the Red Cross. In It public health nursing service, in ir structiion in home hygiene and care c the sick, nutrition classes, firet ai and life saving courses and health cer lers, the American Red Cross is ai plying effectually the lessons learne during the war and making for healthier, stronger and better noui Ished citizenry. The task of the Red Cross Publl Health nurse in the 1,240 nursing sen Ices now operating throughout th country instructing their communltie In health essentials and disease prt vention is demonstrating the possibil! ties of human betterment and the grea benefits of enlightenment. During the last year 313 new publl health nursing services were establish ed by Red Cross Chapters, and sever;] hundred services so convincingly prov ed their effectiveness that they wer taken over by public authorities. I: order to promote this work $30,000 wa allotted to provide women to prepnr themselves for public nursing. Th home visits made by the 1,240 nurse a2?'re<:ated nearly 1..100.000. visits t schools numbered 140.000, and in si: months 1,250,000 school children wer inspected by these nurses and wher defects were found advised exainina tion by physicians. In rural conmiu lities this service has made a ver; narked advance and^has won thou sands of converts to approved method >f disease prevention. In home hygiene and care of thesicl nstruction, which fits the student h Methods of proper care where Illness i lot so serious as to require profes ;;<>nal service, the Red Cross conduct ;d 3.S84 classes during the last year enrolled 2.350 instructors, 03,448 stu lents and issued 42,050 certificates. On June 30. 1022, nutrition service mbraced 1,100 classes, with a total o >7..'23 children and 2,."SO enrolled dietl :ians. Seventy-eight food select in] Masses graduated 733 who receive* Red Cross certificates.

I- War Veterans Have First Call 'I First call on Red Cross funds is for the disabled ex-service men, of whom ? 27,487 were receiving treatment from D ,the Government on June 1 last. This s work for veterans and their families e in a wide variety of service that the e i tiovernment is not aumorizeu 10 rcns der and for which it has neither 0 funds nor facilities has the call on x $3,030,692.90 during the current year, e or about $306,000 more than was exe pended last year for soldier service. Adding the funds disbursed in this humanitarian work of physical recon-j 1 Btitution following the World War by j the Chapters throughout the country I will approximate a total for the cur. rent year approaching $10,000,000. a \ This work, in the opinion of the Surs geon General's oflice, will not reach - j its peak before 1926. Through its Chapters the American ' lied Cross is equipped to find the individual ex-service man, help him in j, | his problems and difficulties, provide f j Immediately for his necessities, and - j open the way for him to the Governi j ment compensation and aid to which 1 j be is entitled. The extension of this 1 work to the families of such men 5 proves to them that the Red Cross ? has lost none of its sympathy nor will to service manifested in wartime. Simr ilarly the service goes out to the men j still in the Army and Navy, 11,087 of ! whom were under treatment In Gov1 ernment hospitals on June 1, 1922. Greater Domestic Program This year?after five years of constructive effort during the war and t ?fter the armistice?brings with it a > greater responsibility for domestic service to the American Red Cross, a The budget for foreign operations, [- however, totals $3,404,000, but of this - amount $1,834,000 is for medical re~ lief and hospital supplies for Russia, 0 which is part of the gift made by 9 the American Red Cross in 1921 to v the Russian famine relief work of the e American Relief Administration pro;( am. The child health service in Euy rope continues, moreover, and $654,i. 000 is appropriated for this work unf dertaken in 19*20. Other items in the e stringently diminished foreign proc *ram include $200,000 to support the 8 league of Red Cross Societies, $22,' 000 for nurses' training schools insti9 tutod by the Red Cross abroad, and s $600,000 for liquidation of the general e Red Cross foreign relief program. s n Prepared for Emergencies Tor disaster relief the Red Cross } has set aside $750,000, and for emergencies in Chapter work $600,000 to be available for domestic, insular and fereign demands. This is more than $395,000 above last year's expenditure. For service and assistance to the 3,300 Chapters and their branches $1,293,000 is provided by the National organization. > Oilier budget items of importance . in the domestic program include $200,-!

The soon- _ er cover crops are planted now the c vapiiHp will Ka t UCbtCI 1VOUAUO ***** MV OVV.U1 vu* ^ The agronomists believes that the value of cover crops can not be over 3 estimated, for they will have a maTk ed influence not only on crops next f year but of those for si/veral year to o come. We now know that the most o important factor in fighting the boll weevil is fertile soil and we also* x know that the most important thing is getting a fertile soil is the incor- ,j poration of organie matter. Cover ^ crops not only add organic matter but they also add a great deal of nitrogen, if leguminous cover crops are grown. c We strongly recommend the | planting of cover crops on all land j| except where cottois to be planted ? next year, says Prof. C. P. Black- j| well, agronomist: but we do not rec-'|| omm&nd the planting of cover crops e where cotton is to be planted next ? year, except where soil is sar.dy and | where the farmer is sure that he | has sufficient force to plow under | his cover crop at th? proper time in | the spring so that it will not delay | the planting of cotton. Cover crops | may be planted preceding corn, pea- ? nuts, soy beans, and several others 1 of our regular field crops. They may be planted either by | seeding broadcast after cotton g stalks havo been plowed under, or E with a three-tube drill between cot- " ton rows. We strongly recommend that the cotton stalks be plowed un- I der before planting the cover crop if possible. Where this will delay the planting of the cover crop until late in the year, it is probably best to plant cover crops in tho middle and NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS. | IN ACCORDANCE with an act to raise supplies for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1922, the Treasurers Office will be open from Nov. 11th through Dec. 31st for the collection of taxes without penalties.
