Newspaper Page TextTHE HERMISTON HERALD, War Council Tells How Millions Contributed by Public Were Used For Relief. BIG TASK IS DESCRIBED In Twenty Months $154,000,000 Was Spent Overseas and $119,000,000, in the United States. Washington. (Special.)—Through a complete report of the work of the American Red Cross in the war by Chairman Henry P. Davison, on be half of the war council, the organiza tion on the eve of Its annual enroll ment of members during the Third Red Cross Roll Call, November 2 to 11, has rendered an accounting of the many millions given it by the Ameri can people to help our fighting men end our allies. The statement Is, In part, as follows: "The war council of the American Red Cross is now prepared to make a complete accounting to the American people of money contributed and ex pended, as well ns the work done by the American Red Cross during the period in which the war council was in control of its affairs, The war council was appointed May 1», 1919, and went out of existence February 28, 1919. “It was the practice of the war council to give complete publicity to Its policies and finances, but it is only now that a picture of the war period as a whole can be presented, It is the feeling of the war council that a report In this summarized form should be made directly to the public which provided the money and gave the ef- fort which made the American Red Cross a success. “A statement of the American Red Cross effort and finances since the - war council relinquished Its control will be made to the public through the executive committee, and It is Im portant, therefore, that the fact timi this report covers the period only until March 1, should be carefully noted." Following are certain round figures covering American Red Cross partici pation In the war, as revealed by the war council's report: Some Outstanding Figures. Contribution* received (material and money). $400,000,000 Red Cross members : Adult«, 20,000,000; Children, 11,000,000 ... 31,000,000 Red Cross workers.......... 8,100,000 Relief articles produced _ by volunteer workers.. 371,577,000 Families of soldiers aided by Home Service in U.S. 500,000 Refreshments served by canteen workers lu U.S. 40,000,000 Nurses enrolled for serv ice with army, navy or Red Cross ................

Washington—If the safety deposit boxes of the United States could give up their dead stores of fake securi ties, enough wasted money would be , disclosed to stagger the imagination. If a man expects his financial barrel to fill up, ha has got to stop up the leaks in it. This is the keynote of a message sent by William Mather Lewis, director of the saving* divis ion of the Treasury Department, « I he Twelfth District savings directors urging them to impress the wisdom of holding government securities. “Thousands of people in the United States are losing their hard-earned savings every day because they lack knowledge of financial dealing,” con tinued Mr. Lewis. Untold numbers of fake scheme promoters and regiments of investment sharks, because of this popular ignorance, are pointing out short roads to big fortunes to those whose Liberty Bonds and War Sav in..’* Stamps they hope to secure in exchange tor beautifully embossed but absolutely worthless stock certificate*. These fakers know the value of gov ern securities. They are anxious to get them, for they figure that they will soon be selling at par and above. “They know that following the Civil War the war issues of government se curities soon were above par, and that there is no well-informed person today who does not believe that the Liberty Bonds will sell well above par, long before their maturity. "But their victim* do not know these facts, and so they trade the beat se curities In the world for some wild-cat that promises a high rate ot interest. What their chances are of getting stung is illustrated by the fact that in Georgia out of 300 applications from a certain type of company to sell stock In that «tate, only two have been able to meet the requirements under th* bluesky law and were given permits. “The other 298 are probably operat ing somewhere where the going Is bet ter. If the Amerian people would give to the matter of spending and in vestment money 10 per cent of the thought they devot« to making it, the high coat of living would be greatly de creased. Reckless spending and fool ish investment are elements in the present situation which can only be remedied by the rank and file of our people. “As long as easy money is in evi- dence, the profiteer and the shark will prosper.” “DON’T BE A GOOF A Chicago doctor, on his way to visit a patient the other day, wz> splashed with mud by a passing truck. He wiped the mire away with his handkerchief, which was thus removed from active service, and entered a fur nishings store to buy a new one. He had plenty of handsome and service- tble handkerchiefs at home. What he wanted was a clean handkerchief for Immediate use at a cost of not more than 50 cents. “I want a clean handkerchief," he sa d to the clerk. "Here are some very nice handker chiefs of a good quality," said the clerk, opening a box. "Better give me a half dozen,' decided the doctor, not asking the price. The handkerchiefs were wrapped up and then he asked: Gallons of nitrous oxide and oxygen furnished French hospitals .... 4,340,000 Men served by Red Cross canteens in France. ... 15,376,000 I Refugees aided In France 1,726,000 American convalescent | soldiers attending Red Cross movies In France 3,110,000 Soldiers carried by Red i Cross ambulances In "How much?” Italy .................................. 148,000 “Eighteen dollars,'' said the clerk. Children cared for by Red Cross In Italy..... 155,000 “I was game," said the doctor tell Of the $100,000,000 In money and Ing of the experience afterward “1 paid it.” • He was not game. He was a goof He did not have the nerve to make that clerk unwrap the handkerchiefs and give him one for 50 cents, which was what be really wanted. He was afraid the clerk would think him cheap. When you let someone tell you what you shall buy and how much you shall pay for It you are giving the strongest kind of aid to the profiteers. So long as people buy regardless of price and re gardleas of actual needs the profiteers will prosper.
