'' " ' llccause I.a Grande's Red Cross or ganization is busy tho year round taking care of the poor and needy of the city; it is busy caring for the ex service men, getting them their prop er pay from the government and car ing for them until such pay arrives. It takes money to do these things. It takes money to feed the hungry man and his family until he can get work; it lakes money to clothe those who need clothing, to furnish fuel for the home that is cold; It tukea money to care for the sick, to send unfortun ate people to relatives and friends in other state's, anJ a hundred more nn-J dertakings which tho La'.Crandc 'Red Crbss is continually doing. To bear the story of one week's work done by Mm, Kay Catlin, the Bocial worker of the Red Cross, .will uoften the heart of any human, an I IiiH purse will open eagerly to help those who are down and out. i The drive for three thousand dol lars to carry the work through 192:! Will begin next Monilny morning. On Sunday ministers and Sunday school i-uperintendents will make announce ments in all the churches. Monday niorning solicitor will call on every onU to give a free will offering to this Home Charity I'und. None of the money leaves La (irandc it is nil us ed light here In tho most economical way to help tho.c who need help. JCv ery family in distress is well known to Mrs. Catlin and there will be no duplication of giving. Prepare to meet the solicitors. Let your heart go out to the children of Im Grande who need food and clothing, who, need fuel children that are up against the cold, chilly blasts of win ter. As you sit comfortably by your 'fireside remcmlKiil thero are many who- aro not so fortunate. Give, nn.l in that giving rejoice because you an.1 bringing happiness to some home.

It-all fellows of a year or two ago, not the cocksure men who glory In their Imagined ability. They will be the quiet, shrewd men who see two sides to each question. weigh the pros and cons, judge wlsuly and hold firmly to conse'rvu tlve progress. Kxactly this thing has been ex pressed by the First NntionJ.il bank of Philadelphia, In its latest bul letin. This bank says: Statistics show that one-third of last year's record-breaking failures resulted from Incompetence. Tills very inttire.Ulng lu view of tuejHve the federal authorities. Mose fact that January failures alno i hroko all records las to the ' num ber oT in Is hups Involved, it is up parent that the present .situation calls for extremely capable iiianut;e- ment in the effort to solve satis factorily the pressing problems con nected with the up-building of trade and finance. Tho general sltuittion is much sounder than It waa a year ago, becauso of the fi nancial sanitation work that has been accomplished. The whole coun try is now doing business on a far safer price level and, while the re adjustment has been unevenly bal anced in many particulars, the glar-l Jug inequalities of the war period have been corrected. It is evident. however, that the present sit u i lion , calls for the must intelligent lead-j ershtp and the exercise of great ; conservatism lu a'U business affairs. Tho sttuatiou has its strong points and il saving feature Is the desire; if- nioritlusinesB men to uvoid spec-1 illative risks uid to operate so as I to safeguard their business against possible contingencies. The days of glorious incompe-' tenet nre gone. The time for care-i ful, Intelligent leadership has come. For a while there will be nothing spectacular or imposing about our successful business managers, but they will Buoceed. And that Is all that nmtters. - : '' Travel Week - '"Travel Week" Is' to be launch d March 25.- iturlug this period an Intensive campaign will ho wug td to interest the.

Chief among the activities of the ek will he an exposition held in the (.irand Central Palace In New York City. This alone will be worth travelling to see, though its ultimate object Is to arouse in terest in further fields. The I'nited States government is to be repre- nUd at the exposition. The ship ping hoard will display its facilities for travel to all parts of the world. The department of Iho Interior will feature tho groat parks of the west, and the Consular St'rvice will have an exhibit to demonstrate Its relation to American travelers in alt i tin r lers of tho globe. There will be panoramas, movit's, travel talks and all sorts (of devices tu stimulate public Interest in this great agency of education and re-' creation. 1 Whether there Is any mult in thtf immediate stimulation of travel or not. the effect of the campaign' will be good, for it will interest people everywhere in the subject of travelling, in tin1 study of route uul places and the, formal ion of '(instructive plans ftr going some where as soon as they can.

' The Bantam breeds galne.1 their popularity as ornamental fowl and as playthings fur children and grownups, but, says the United States Department of Agriculture, they have also a distinct utility value for ogg production for fam ily use. There is nlwuys u good demand for CKgs for hatching and for breeding stock of good quality. ; Because of their sm.ill sl.e these pigmy breeds often have tho advan-! tgae over larger fowls whore only a very small space is availablo for the flock. They ard easy lor cbil-: dren to handle, and the ownership : of a few Ilaiitauis often is tho be ginning of a real Interest in poul-; try raising. j The various breeds of Dantums, their characteristics, and mothers of management are discussed in; Farmers' UiiMetln 1 2G 1, The Ban tam Breeds and Varieties, the fifth I of a series on Standard Varieties of Chickens. Tho various breeds, says the bulletin, havu not been raised with the Idea of egg pro duction and, us a result, the aver ago is not very high, probubly around 100 eggs u year, although individual lions have laid as many as 1D0 or bven 175 eggs in a ye:tr. The eggs vary In sire, as do the different Bantafu Breeds, ranging from 12 ounces -i dozen to IS or 20 ounces. The color of 4he eggs' reus from white to dark brown. ' Some of tho breeds have' a tendency j to lay for n fairly long period, but the Brahmas, Cochins and Silkies' are apt to bo broody. Since many j or these kinds have been developed j fro mthtf larger standard breeds : iney nave many or tne same charac teristics. Reports collocted from Bantam breeders show that the average hen will eat from 25 to 35 imuiuta of fted In a ye'ar, which is about one- j hair as much us a hen of the ; Mediterranean breeds or one-third ! as much as n hen of the linger ! breeds would eat.
