RED CROSS PUTS DP W39.872 Year's Budget Stresses Relief and Services at Home and Overseas. MILLIONS FOR VETERAN AID Over $3,000,000 Allotted to the Disabled-Foreign Work Lessens. Washington.-Expenditures totaling $9,739,872.47 for carrying through its program of services and relief during the fiscal year in the United States and overseas are authorized in the ?budget of the American Red Cross, ef fective July i, 1922. This total is $2, "735,975 less than the expenditures for the last fiscal year, wheft disbifrse loents reached $12,475,S47.69, it is an nounced at National Headquarters in a statement emphasizing the necessity of continued support of the organiza tion by enrollment during the annual ?toll Calli November 11-November 30 inclusive. This total for the budget is exclusive of the large financial op erations of the 3,300 active Red Cross Chapters, which, it is estimated, will snore tlian double the total. War Veterans Have First Call First call on Red Cross funds is for "the disabled ex-service men, of whom 27,4S7 were receiving treatment from tlie Government on June 1 last. This -work for veterans and their families in a wide variety of service that the Government is not authorized to ren der and for which it has neither fonds nor facilities has the call on $3,030,692.90 during the current year, ?or about $366,000 more than was ex pended last year for soldier service. Adding the funds disbursed in this humanitarian work of physical recon stitution following Hie World War by the Chapters throughout the country will approximate a total for the cur rent year approaching $10,000,000. This work, in the opinion of the Sur geon General's office, will not reach Its peak before 1926. Through Its Chapters the American lied Cross is equipped to find the in dividual ex-service man, help him in ids problems and difficulties, provide immediately for his necessities, and open the way for him to the Govern ment compensation and aid to which ie Is entitled. The extension of this work to the families of such men proves to them that the Red Cross lias lost none of its sympathy nor will to service manifested in wartime. Sim ilarly the service goes out to tke men still in the Army and Navy, 11,087 of whom, were under treatment lr Gov ernment hospitals on June 1, 1922. Greater Domestic Program This year-after five years of con? etructive effort during the war and after the armistice-brings ^vith it a greater responsibility ?or domestic service to the American Red Cross. 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, whicn is a part of the gift made by the American Red Cross in 1921 to the Russian famine relief work of the .American Relief Administration pro .giam. The child health service in Eu rope continues, moreover, and $654, 000 is appropriated for fais work un dertaken in 1920. Other items in the stringently diminished loreign pro grain include $200,000 to support the League of Red Cross Societies, $22, 000 for nurses' training schools insti tuted by the Red Cross abroad, and $GOCr,000 for liquidation of the general Tied Cross foreign relief program. Prepared for Emergencies 1 ' For disaster relief the Red Cross has set aside $750,000, and for emer gences in Chapter work $500,000 to be available for domestic, Insular and foreign demands. Tais is more than $395,000 above last year's expen ditures. For service and assistance to the 3,300 Chapters and their branches $1,293,000 is provided by the .National organization. Other budget items of Importance in the domestic program include $200, 000 for assistance to other organiza tions and education Institutions ter training Red Cross nurses and work ers; $190,000 for Roll Call assistance furnished to Chapters; $100,000 for unforeseen contingencies. Of the total budget less than $500^ 000 Is allotted for management ID the National organization. No cash esti mate, of course, is possible to weigh the value of the service by volunteers in the Chapters. THE RED CROSS SUPPLEMENTS . GOVERNMENT SERVICE BY MEETING THE PARTICULAR NEEDS OF THE INDIVIDUAL EX-SERVICE MAN. THIS WORK CANNOT GO ON UNLESS YOU SUPPORT IT WITH YOUR MEMBERSHIP DOLLAR PAY UP TODAY Billy Sunday in Charleston. "Billy" Sunday will go to Charles ton next year ar.d hold a great re vival meeting, beginning November 1 and ending December 15, and if all goes well he'll keep the old town on the jump for forty days and forty nights. The promoters of the meet ing will build a tabernacle for him that will seat eight thousand people, and, of course, there will be a train ed choir of some chousands of voices under the compelling direction of Rodeheaver and a well drilled corps of ushers and special nursery for babies whose mothers would like to attend the services and the dear old tin pan, the ringing tin pan, and' fre quently the empty tin pan so famil iar to tens of thousands who heard Mr. Sunday in Spartanburg will be called into service again. It will be the same old thing in organization, management and service, the same old, old story, told in Sunday's own way. 'It will be something very new in Charleston. Not the gospeMhe great evangelist will preach, because Charleston was brought up on the same gospel, and there are many graveyards' in the city and in beau tiful, well-kept cemeteries near-by, but the method in which it will be presented by the plain-speaking man with a message. If there should be anything like the co-operation of the churches in Charleston there was in Spartanburg the meeting in "The Enchanted City" will be a most conspicuous success. The Sunday meeting in Charleston will "come high," but it will be worth the money, whatever the cost. The meeting in Spartanburg cost something like $45,000, all told. Af ter he had finished his task, and it was a gruelling task, to be sure, Mr. Sunday was presented by the appre ciative people of this town and oth ers who had heard him gladly with a purse of $22,850. A hurried es timate last night of one of the official members of the Sunday Organization was to the effect that during the six weeks of his campaign here Mr. Sun day preached at eighty regular sei vices, that he addressed at these ser vices not less than five hundred thou sand people in the aggregate, and that, on account of his work here, not less than fifteen hundred addi tions were made to the churches of this city. It may also be of encouragement to the men behind the "Billy" Sun day movement in Charleston to know that the men and women who were "converted" by him while he was here are standing fast in the faith he and his workers imparted to them in the greatest and most successful religious revival ever held in the 'hill country of South Carolina. Of course the Charleston folk know that Mr. Sunday is not "the whole show," in fact. There is "Ma" Sunday, for in stance, and we should say that she is the head of the Sunday house. Then there is Mrs. Asher, with the loveli est voice and the most fascinating ways, and Miss Kinney, who teaches the Bible so that it is perfectly clear in its most difficult, some '"high brows" have said "doubtful," pas- j sages, and Homer Rodeheaver, with j his slip horn, who "brightens the cor- j ner" wherever his is, and "Pete," the ^ most important member of the ag- j gregation, who sings and prays and ( plays and rubs, as occasion and duty { requires, and keeps the Sunday ma- ( chine running when the joints are t a bit clogged, and the engine needs j overhauling. There are a lot of peo- j pie in Charleston, who will not like i Mr. Sunday's "style" when he makes t his first appearances-it was the i same way here; it has been the same i way wherever he has gone; but be fore he is half through down there , the chances are the sticklers for the t "proprieties," so to say-and "may ^ their tribe increase"-will forget ? the "madness" of the speaker in the r sincerity of his message.-Spartan- s burg Herald. : Figures Given by Republicans. \ Washington, Oct. 27.-Three Re- ? publican campaign committees-the national, senatorial and congression al-filed preliminary reports with the clerk of the house of representa tives today, showing that $721, 359 had been contributed to help elect Republican senators and repre sentatives, of which amount $645, 451 had been expended. Each committee will file another report prior to final ones after the general election on November 7. The Democratic senatorial committee, the Anti-Saloon League ol' America, the association opposed to prohibi tion and similar organizations taking part in national politics will put in their financial statement} by tomor row night. For the first time the Republican speakers' bureau also filed its report separately today. It showed receipts of $17,000 and expenditures of $11, 157. Heading the list of all contribu tors was R. B. Mellon of Pittsburgh, brother of the secretary of the treas ury, who gave $25,000 through the Republican national committee. John D. Rockefeller was second with $25, 000, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., gave $10,000. The Rockefellers, father and son, contributed also $750 each through the Republican congressional committee. The report of the national com mittee was the last of the three 'to reach the house clerk's office, com ing by mail tonight. A copy was ob tained by the Associated Press at Chicago and sent out, many hours before the document was received here by registered mail. All told there were seven $10,000 contributions aside from one for that amount by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. They came from Fred Upham as treasurer, to the senatorial commit tee on behalf of the national com mittee; William Wrigley, Jr., Chica go; Dr. S. G. Kennedy, Tulsa, Okla.; the New Jersey state central com mittee; Frederick W. Allen, -^?ew ?ork; D. A. Reed, Pittsburgh, and Henry F. Lippett, former senator from Rhode Island. Records of the house clerk show that the Republican national commit tee in its preliminary reports filed in 1920, a presidential year, reported contributions of $2,966,019, as com pared with $421,444 today. At the same time the Republican senatorial committee reported receipts of 5179,485, compared with today's showing of $136,069. Other contributions included: E. B. Swenson, New York, $4,500; Eugene Meyer, Jr., New York, $2, 500; H. S. Wilkinson, New York, $2, 000; E. F. Carry, Chicago, $2,000; G. H. Hilliken, New Yrok, $2,000; R. P. Lamont, Chicago, $1,700; Elisha Hanson, New York, $1,500 and F. W. Croll, $1,500. Time to War on Boll Weevil is Now. It is a great mistake for those expecting to plant colton next year to assume that .the fight against the boll weevil need not be entered up on until the 1923 crop has been planted. If there is one thing the experts who have studied the subjects, in the schools of both theory and prac tice, are agreed upon, it is that the ;ime to begin the fight for next /ear's production is as soon as pos sible after harvesting this year's :rop. Experiments have proved .that ;he earlier the cotton stalks are cut iown and plowed under in the fall, ;he smaller the number of weevils appearing in the spring. Moreover, ;his method is a sound farming policy. With equal insistence they urge ;he early clearing of field-edges and litch-edges and the burning of the 3rush. The second point of importance >n which the experts agree is that t is economically disastrous to Dlant land in cotton that would -not iroduce, if free from weevil attack, i half-bale to the acre. Fighting the veevil successfully necessitates ex Dense for material and the going >ver from three to six times of ev ;ry foot of ground planted. The :ost is not greatly different in pro ecting an acre that normally would field a bale than that incurred in jrotecting the same care that nor mally would produce only one-fifth is much. It is obvious that the latter s not worth fighting for, and should lot be planted. The boll weevil can be annually lefeated, but in order to accomplish hat end, new and more progressive 'arming method s will have gener illy to be employed in the south, rhose new methods involve close itudy of the problems, more con tant attention to the farm, and a greater degree of energetic work han heretofore employed.-The State.
