As it was a Halloween party, all the forms of entertainment were rather spooky. All the class was initiated by a trip over the Spooky way and survived with but few in juries. Having passed all the tortur ous way points they arrived at their destination. Here ghost stories wcro told which would freeze the blood of a polar bear. Doris Flynn was given country-wide team work to carry out quickly and effectively the request of the prize for the mogt g,.ut,Some tale.

With a budget of $3, 643,077.81 for carrying out the pro gram of service during the current fis cal year, beginning July 1, the Ameri can Red Cross announces that this amount was $4,195,370.41 less than was expended during the fiscal year ended last June 30. During that year expenditures reached a total of J9, 738,448.22, of which amount $2,605, 696.09 was devoted to relief of refu gees In Greece who had been driven out of Asia Minor. In announcing the budget for the year, the statement from National Headquarters empha sized the fact that Its extensive work at home and abroad depends almost wholly upon the nation-wide support of the organization through enroll ment of membership in large numbers during the annual roll call, which will be in progress from November 11 to November 29 under the auspices of the 3,600 Chapters in the United States and throughout the world. These Chapters, it is pointed out, dur ing the last fiscal year expended of their own funds approximately $3,920, 000 in work for the men who wore the United States uniform during the World War, so that the estimate of some $15,000,000 expended during twelve months by the American Red Cross as a whole Is considered con servative. Soldier Service Stands First From July 1, 1917, to June 30, 1923, the American Red Cross spent nation ally and through its Chapters close to $164,000,000 in behalf of American sol diers who served in the war and their families. During last year the figure alone mounted to more than $5,866, 255, and for the current fiscal year National Headquarters has set aside under the heading, "Assistance to Dis abled ex-Service Men and Women," $2,065,834.20. The Chapters will con tinue to do their part, so that it may be predicted with confidence that again more than $5,500,000 will be dis bursed in the large variety of services to the disabled men and women and their families services for which the Government cannot provide and which reach the Individual case with the sympathy and understanding only ac tual contact can insure. This work of the American Red Cross approaches the fifth anniversary of the Armistice, which ended the World War with only slight decrease in calls for service in the interest of the welfare and re habilitation of those who suffered physical disability in the service of their country. In the interest of the enlisted men serving in the Army and the Navy the budget provides $309,020 for the current year. This is obligatory un der the Red Cross charter, for the or ganization must act in matters of vol untary relief and as a medium of com munication between the people and their Army and Navy. Domestic Program Extensive The domestic operations of the American Red Cross comprise an ac curate indicator of the continuing calls for expansion in all the estab lished .and authorized services. The budget aggregates $4,636,449.70, as against expenditures during the last year of $4,452,066.20. The abnormal demands in the foreign field in the last several years, however, have largely subsided, and in consequence $906,628.11 has been set for the 1923-24 budget under foreign operations. On this amount $394,303.91 is set aside for engagements which will close the work for the refugees in Greece, for whose amelioration $2,605,696.09 was expended up to June 30, when the American Red Cross withdrew, and the work was taken over under the control of the Greek government. For liquidation and completion of general relief In Europe the budget provides $100,000, and for American Junior Red Cross projects, foreign and insular, and assistance to Chapters listed un der foreign operations. Ready for Emergency Calls The readineess of the American Red Cross to answer Immediately with ef fective service in cases of emergency is an outstanding feature of its pro gram that is universally recognized. During last year $525,000 was spent for relief in 110 disasters, which was $207,500 In excess of budget provi sions. This year $400,000 has been appropriated for this service. Since 1SS1 the Red Cross has administered TT.nrp than $20.000, Ouu in relief work following disasters.

C, Nov. 2. The value of cleaning wheat at threshing time is once more demonstrated in experiments conducted in Minnesota and the Dakotns by thp United States department of agriculture. Farmers co-operating in the experiments with the most successful recleaner gained an average of 7.3 cents per bushel on each bushel threshed. Various types of cleaning machines were operated in connection with threshers. The 7.3 cents per bushel includes the higher price received for the cleaned wheat, the value of the screenings removed and used lor feed, and a small saving'in transpor tation. No charge was made to cover the operation of the recleaner, but it is pointed out that if a charge of as much as 2 cents per bushel had been made, the gain would have av eraged 5.3 cents per bushel net. The simple and efficient disc re cleaner designed by department tech nologists received the hearty endorse ment of spring wheat farmers be cause the new method not only gives them a premium for their wheat but also permits them to make valuable use of their dockage which had pre viously been a total loss. age of his convictions and who stands by them, despite their affect on his political future. There is less hypocricy, cant and buncombe in his make-up than in the ordinary politician, who places expediency above principle, and is too cowardly to do anything but straddle.

The entertainments were numer ous and varied, consisting of comedy scenes, recitations, and other inter esting events. The seniors wisli to extend their heartiest thanks to Buck and Con.

Mr. McArthur is one of the few men in public life who has the cour- are enrolled nearly 40,000 nurses, 20 000 of whom served during the World War. The past year Red Cross nurses were assigned to duty In Isolated sections of Alaska and North Caro lina and to work among the fisher men of Penobscot Bay, Me. The Public Health Nursing Service, inaugurated by the American Red Cross in 1912, which operates chiefly in rural sections untouched by other public health agencies, has 1,038 Red Cross nurses working under the di rection of Chapters. This work has won so high a regard that many of the nurses are taken over by the local authorities to maintain health services for their communities. Instruction in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick is noting a steady advance. Since 1914 certificates of proficiency have been given 304,427 women who com pleted the Red Cross course. In the last year 20,595 certificates were awarded and 65,901 students were un der the instruction of 1,054 Red Cross nurses. The benefits derived from meals balanced to meet each person's pecul iar needs is winning widespread rec ognition through the work of the Red Cross Nutrition Service, particularly in the schools. During the school year 2.6SS carried on regular instruc tion in nutrition, reached more than 150,000 children and adults. More than 2,250 volunteers assisted in this work.

All that a railway buys, labor, coal, forest products, steel articles, etc., still range at peak prices, and rates cannot safely be lowered until there is a reduction in these costs. Eighty-eight cents of the railway dollar Is required for wages, fuel, supplies, taxeH and rentals. A 10 per cent rate reduction would wipe out all profit and injure the credit of lines which have nothing saved up for a rainy day. The Government turned the railroads back to tlielr owners In 1 020 with an average operating deficit of $4 5,000,000 a month, which had been paid from the Federal treas ury.
