C, Sept. 2S. "The highest obligation that the na- tion and the American Ked Cross1 now face is the problem of the dis-j abled service man," according to a statement made today by W. Frank j Persons, vice-chairman in charge of. domestic operations. "Justihcation of the warning of the Surgeon Gen eral's office of the Army that the na tion would not begin to know the number of the disabled for a year and that the number would probably not reach its peak before 1925, if it did then, is being shown day by day." Of the men discharged from the Army and Navy and yet entitled to governmental medical treatment and aid, there are at the present time 26, 300 in government and private hos pitals throughout the country a number equal to the entire popula tion of a city the size of Lynchburg, Va. This number has increased eight-fold since 1919 and will un doubtedly continue to increase rapid ly for several years to come. "Last year the American Red Cross spent approximately $10,000, 000 in serving disabled ex-service men and their families," Mr. Per sons said. "This one branch of Red Cross work cost nearly $4,000,000 more than aggregate receipts from the year's membership dues," he con tinued. Therefore, membership at tained through the Fifth Red Cross Roll Call November 11-24 Armis tice Day to Thanksgiving, should be greatly increased to insure continu ance and expansion of such service for the disabled man and his family as does not fall within the scope of vernment activity but which is no less necessary. "In the hurry and bustle of ad justment to peacetime work the pub lic seems largely to have forgotten th? soldiers, sailors and marines who were disabled 'in line of duty'. This has been so apparent that President Harding has again recently called attention to the necessity for in creased care of these boys." In the general hospitals of the Ar my and ixavy, ll.OJU men are still receiving care, the Red Cross oilicial pointed out. Most of them are over seas men. The rest are men who, in active service since the ending of the war, because of accidents or sickness require hospital attention. Medical and nursing service are of course provided by the War and Navy De partments, under the supervision of their Surgeons General; but in all of these hospitals the American Red Cross is providing service, convales cent comforts, recreation, in fact do ing whatever can be done to help speed the weary days of hospital life. Red Cross chapters throughout the country and members of the Am erican Junior Red Cross send in mag azines, fruit, jellies, and other deli cacies on holidays and Sundays. 'At Walter Reed Hospital alone, which is the largest of the Army gen eral hospitals, and is located on the outskirts of the National Capital, are 1.000 men, a large number of whom are still being treated for wounds re ceived in France," Mr. Persons con tinued. "Other thousands of men entitled to hospsital care are scat tered over the country and it is to these men that the Red Cross goes, extending the same friendly, helpful SMILE AWHILE MOST ANY ONE CAN HAVE A COLO , BUT IT TAKES A RICH MAN TO HAVE PNEUMONIA : service that it gave during the war. The government provides the oppor tunity and method for assisting these men but it can only work in the mass and not with the individual. Assist ance to the individual is particularly and peculiarly the work of the Amer ican Red Cross. " A Blfssinc. IN DlSOUISE Mr. Headley rubbed his hands gleefully. "Mr. Heape!" he called. Mr. Heape, his assistant, came in from the next room. "Heape," cried old Headley, "that fool of an office boy of ours has fallen in love with my pretty secre tary." "I'm sorry, sir; what shall I do? Fire the boy?' "Fire the boy!" yelled Headley, "Never! 1 hope he remains true to her. For the first time since he's been here he's always handy when we want him." Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.

Neither do I want any bay rum, witch hazel, hair tonic, hot towels, or face massage. I don't want the manicure lady to hold my hand, nor the bootblack to fondle my feet. I just want a plain shave with no trim mines. Do vou understand that?" "Yes, sir," said the barber. "Will you have some lather on your face, sir?" New York Sun. His Name Was Familiar Dick Jervis, head of White House secret service operatives, whose job is to guard President Harding, called the Lancaster Inn, at Lancaster, N. H., on the long distance telephone when it was decided the President was to spend several davs at the country home of Secretary Weeks, near there. He wanted to reserve quarters for a number of his men. "How far is your inn from the Weeks place?" asked Jervis. "From whose place?" the propri etor queried. "Weeks'. Weeks'," Jervis repeated "John W. Weeks. Don't you know him?" "Well," came the answer, "there was a fellow around here by the name of Weeks, but I think he got some kind of a job down at Wash ington."

Our truthful and enterprising con temporary, the Times, of Sebastopol Cal., reports the following item of current literary news: "Someone sent the editor of the Poketown Gazette a few bottles of home brew. The same day he re ceived for publication a wedding an nouncement and a nonce of an auc tion sale. Here are the results: 'Wm. Smith and Miss Luck Ander son were disposed of at public auc tion at my farm one mile east of a beautiful cluster of roses on her breast and two white calves, before a background of farm implements too numerous to mention in the pres ence of about seventy guests, includ ing two milch cows, six mules and one bob sled. Rev. Jackson tied the nuptial knot with 200 feet of hay rope and the bridal couple left on one good John Deere gang plow for an extended trip with terms to suit purchaser. They will be at home to their friends with one good baby buggy and a few kitchen utensils af ter ten months from date of sale to responsible parties and some fifty chickens.'

This has required the stringing of enough wire to span the distance from the earth to the moon mone than one hundred times; the erection of pole lines which would reach nearly fif teen times around the earth; the in stallation of duct space tor carrying cables underground of sufficient length to reach more than six times through the center of the earth from pole to pole, and the construction of buildings enough, if brought together to form a Tity about as large as Richmond, Va. Over 33.000,000 telephone conver sations take place every day, and since its birth, only 45 years ago, the telepehone has become nn essential and inseparable part of our every day business and social life. Telephone Wires Would Reach to Moon 100 Times. It seems almost increditable that it was only 45 years ago that the tele phone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. Since then, in less than a life time, the telephone industry has been developed and expanded to such a remarkable extent that it now Does It Pay to Raise Runts? A questionnaire survey conducted among 1,000 leading farmers and breeders by the United States De partment of Agriculture indicates that about 7 per cent of the annual production of farm live stock in the United States consists of nints and undersized specimens of the various breeds and classes. Farmers report that their incomes from live stock would be increased an average of 13 per cent if runts could he eliminated. Better methods of feeding and breed ing better stock, the use of purebred registered sires, good care and sys tematic attention, better housing and sanitation, proper care of the dam before the birth of young, practical control of such objectionable para sites as worms and lice, the control of disease, and the culling from the farm of all stunted stock which indi cates no possibilities of successful reformation and rehabilitation art the control methods recommended by these experienced farmers. About three-quarters of them say that it does not pay to raise runts, while the balance maintain that the Tom Thumbs of the live-sock world can be raised successfully only when well bred and when plenty of cheap feed is avaiabe and dependable markets are readily accessible.
