The Junior Red Cross, composed of almost T.OOO.OtW school children, also rallied to the support of the* societVs relief'efforts, and the children aided others of their age In practical ways, formed sewing and food canning classes, and were of great assistance in chapter relief work. While the wlieat and cotton were given by the U. S. tJoverumenl. no. money was providtHi to pay for the necessary work entailed. The Red Cross will meet this expense of almost $500,000 from its tfeasury.
