Washington, D. 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

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. "

"I want a shave," said the deter
mined looking man, as he climbed
into the barbers' chair. "I don't
want a hair-cut nor a shampoo.
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

UNGRATEFULNESS
Why is it, that we're discontented
in this fair land of fruit and (lowers?
Why can't there be some scheme in
vented, to palliate our selfish hours?
Our harvest-bins are orertlowin
unbounded wealth is at our hand,
and still our discontent keeps grow
in'! It's more than I can under
stand. . . .
There was a day that I could men
tion I can't forget it even now.
We kept our feelin's in suspension
by waltzin' with a walking plow. . . .
We didn't flirt with fickje fortune,
we never chased the nimble cent, we
got along without no scorchin'. We
didn't have no discontent!
We didn't know no strained con
ditions, nor hungry mouths, nor
greedy eyes. . . . We didn't have
no politicians to fill our ears with
blasted lies! I wouldnt' say that I'm
contendin' for what you call back
number ways. . . . Rut I can say,
without pretendin' that them was
mighty happy days!

that, although most of my friends are

Why the Editor Left Town.
Our truthful and enterprising con
temporary, the Times, of Sebastopol

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.' "

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.
