HOW PROSPERTY WILL COME Greenwood Index-Journal It is well to impress on people the | /fact that while prosperity is not going to bounce out of a hat like a slight of ;;hand performer lifts a rabbit out of a hat believed to be empty, yet there will be a day of bigger and betteis| -business. It is bound to come. When things forced down an 1 i! iwn, this ^ro cess in itself makes for a rebound. It is certain that there will be an upward ? movement just as> there has been a >? -downward movement. fcy. . . ? ? 1 ' But it will not come overnight.

"The yeaj of the groat drought," as these past twelve or more months will be known to future fenerations, wrought great damage to millions. Not a!oncj did the crops, which wevo burned in the flc'.ds In twenty-three !u the sv.mmcr of 19"0, deprive several million persoAj of food, but the drought disaster contiuued in 't he summer of 1931 in the nortL. western states, and also brought other minor catastrophes In Its wake, such as for est flres, and the grasshopper plague. More than a >enr has elapsed since the Americau Red Cross launched, In August, 1930, 1 1 8 first moves tor relief of the drought-stricken farmers, and In that time more than 2,750.000 per sons were given food, clothing, med ical aid, shelter or other typo of as sistance. At no period during thij year were there fewer than 70.000 persons being aided and at the ponk of the relief work on March I, last, more than 2,000,500 persons were be ing helped. , Today, still as a result of the drought, the Red Cross Is giving ex tended relief In parts of North Dakota, Washington and Montana, where re sources of hundreds of families wore wiped out this past summer, when a socond and more severe spell of dry wjHinr was prolonged In thi.t r.-'.ion. This drought relief presented t'.ie greatest tar.k that has ever been un dertaken by the Keel Cross as a peace time activity. Tho Mississippi Valley fk)?J uf 1927, while more spectacular, a:ui calling fui rc'.ief of a costlier type, b -lanse homes and possessions were swept away, affected hardly cne-fonrth p.- n timber of people who suffered be c?. ::;o i f the drought. In addition to the broad program o! cl ra ug nt relief still being carr.ed o:i, Joiiu Carton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross, has given the following suggestion to t'l:.::>;er chairmen, in regard to u:ie:.i;.! ??yment relief: "Where there Is suffering and want from any cauae and the funda mental local needs ere not bain;; met. Chapters may participate In the com munity plans for meeting the r.aivl." Some type of general fai.i'.'.y ivlief, whether for the drought victims, t h 3 unemployed or the war vclv/a.) and his family, were carried on by. more than 3,000 Rod Cross Chapters lar.t year, Judge Payne said.

RED CROSS BELIEF IN 79 DISASTERS IN YEAR Forest Fires, Plagues, Storms, Earthquake:, aa Well aa '? Drought, Call for Help. The forest fires which have raged In Idaho and other western sectioni this year have presented a serious dls aster ? one of a number, in addition tr the enormous drought relief problem which have been met by the American Red Cross relief forces. Suffering, faith and courage ar< contained in a story coming from th< Priest River section In Idaho, told bj a volunteer Red Cross worker as fol lotos: "Plcturo a happy little homestoa<i near tho banks of Priest river Ji northern Idaho.
