In thus listing the number of art
icles made by the different units of
Morrow County Chapter there is no
thought of comparison nor' of at
tempting to show tihat one unit did
more work than any other unit. The
differences in circumetances in each
case are too great to admit of such
comparison. Perhaps, if the facts
could be known, those units produc
ing the fewest number of articles
may have produced the greatest
number per person. sAgain influenza
or other conditions may have pre
vented what from another might
have been a large output. All of
these auxiliaries and branches were
formed at the urgent request of the
people of the community, who invari
ably wrote to the secretary of he
home chapter asking for work to do.
There are many instances of splendid
devotion recorded, many others that
are not known. One chairman of a
small auxiliary wrote to the home
secretary of her chagrin that a cer
tain number of garments had not
been returned on time, saying, "I
made six of them myself and would
have done more of them if I had not
had the flu." Another wrote this, "I
have heard so many of my workers
complain because Auxiliary
gets no separate credit for its work,
but, for myself, as long' as the Red
Cross gets our worTt I know oui ef
forts are helping the suffering and
wounded and I don't care a straw
what branch our work is sent to."
With such spirit and fullness of
heart as theBe instances reveal it is
small wonder that great things have
been accomplished.
For the past few months it has
been increasingly difficult to fill the
quotas. There are several good rea
sons to flccnuri foe it Perhanc V

first is the most natural. The ma-
jority of the women who have work-

years for the Red Cross are women
with many home duties to perform,
which of themselves would seem, al -

chapter, is the discouragement re
sulting from the fire of July 4, 1918.
Some of the workers lost their own
homes and personal belongings.
There never were so many who re
turned to work in the fall after the
fire as there had been before. The
signing of the armistice should be
placed as the last cause of the cessa
tion of efforts on the part of many
workers. Many had been laboring
! under considerable stress and the
signing of Che armistice removed a
psychological prop and left them
without the impetus to accomplish as
much as they had done before.
It is the opinion of conservative
people that the chaptev will again be
able to take hold and do any work
asked of it, say this fall, after people
have readjusted tihemselves to pres
ent conditions and have a little rest
from the men-tal and physical strain
of war times. With such a splendid
record of war work behind it, we
shall scarcely consign the chapter to
future oblivion. The remark is
sometimes made that, in time of
peace when the- pressure on the or
ganization is not so strong we shall
not need a Red Cross chapter here;
but each community has occasions
when it needs such an organization.

The Red Cross does not have to cir

fore administering aid; it is efficient
it has a body of trained workers, or
ganized and ready to act; what funds
are in its possession are expended
wisely and each expenditure check

means or motives with trne Red
Cross. Having, then, learned its; ca
