RED CROSS YEAR'S COST $21,366,255 Nearly $12,000,000 Devoted to Helping Victims of Great Japanese Earthquake. OVER 3,000 BUSY CHAPTERS Aid to Disabled War Veterans Paramount and Reaches Nearly $4,000,000. Washington.—More than $21,000,000 was the total of funds expended in all activities of the American Red Cross during the last fiscal year, ended June 30, says a statement issued by the National organization. This expenditure was almost one-sixth of the amount of money disbursed by the Red Cross in the war year, July, 1917, to June, 1918. Of this extraordinary sum $11,631,303 was America's contribution to the Red Cross for relief of the Japanese earthquake victims. This was increased to $11,768,803 by appropriations from general funds of the Red Cross, and it represented probably the largest spontaneous outpouring of beneficence of a single nation in the history of the world. Over 3,000 active Chapters expanded during the year $4,869,000. The National organization disbursed $16,497,255.35 making the total $21,366,255.35 all for humanitarian work which reached practically around the world. In announcing the year's record of American Red Cross industry the executive officials at Washington emphasize the fact that the extensive and never-halted work of the Red Cross depends almost wholly upon the nationwide support of the organization. AUTO NOTES Mutilating signs of the Automobile Club of Southern California in San Diego is a disastrous procedure, according to the latest prosecutions there as reported by the legal department of the organization. The youth committing the vandalism reckoned without his host, as he was not aware that the forest service officers co-operate with the auto club and local authorities in protecting the free signs for the guidance of travelers. In summing up the case in San Diego, the pudge said: "The fact that the Automobile Club of Southern California has put road signs throughout the state for the protection of the traveling public and that these signs are very necessary to the safety and convenience of the public is sufficient reason they should be protected by law and that he felt that wanton destruction of these signs must be stopped and that those guilty must be brought before the bar of justice so that they will know it is a violation of the law to destrop public property." The convicted youth is prohibited from owning, carrying, operating or having in his possession fire arms of any description for a period of one year. WHEAN REASON REIGNS The most difficult thing to do is to think. If anyone should doubt it, let him try it some time. To rise above prejudice, and passion and personal interest and think a subject through to an inevitable, logical conclusion, starting from an axiom and keeping in mind only demonstrable facts and proved principles, ah, this is a feat. Our fears, our hopes, our avarices, COOPERATIVE MARKET The following is an extra address made by Secretary Merce Hoover recently at Wisconsin: I wish on this occasion certain phases of cooperation and to lay before you consideration some suggest I feel would make for the ment and the improvement whole marketing system serve that this is strictly logical topic. I wish to state at the firm faith that the future marketing of agricultural lies in the larger development cooperative principle. I time has come when we need strong and definite steps in development. When we consider the size of the new agency of distribution the old one, we are conscious business proposition notional or political one. The verative" carries no magic of goods; it must justify purely commercial operation success of any marketing effort at once on the foundation can mobilize economics which are not open competitors and that it can silent skill in administration; cultural cooperative which adapted to its work can contain advantages in distribution; no individual competitor. We should not mislead or thinking that cooperative complete solution to the marketing all agriculture Nor is the form of cooperation same in any cities. Moreover, the Americas is not likely to be built Over 3,000 active Chapters expended during the year $4,869,000. The National organization disbursed $16,497,255.35, making the total $21,366,255.35—all for humanitarian work which reached practically around the world. In announcing the year's record of American Red Cross industry the executive officials at Washington emphasize the fact that the extensive and never-halting work of the Red Cross depends almost wholly upon the nationwide support of the organization from the memberships enrolled during the annual roll call which this year will be in progress from Nov 11 to 27, when everyone is asked to join or renew their membership in the American Red Cross. Soldier Service Paramount Service in behalf of the disabled veterans of the World War and their families is a paramount obligation of the Red Cross. The organization, through its Chapters, is constantly in touch with this duty in 2,609 communities throughout the United States—the Chapters alone during the year expanding in service for veterans about $2,000,000. The National organization expended $1,735,825—a total of $3,735,825 applied to assisting war sufferers toward recovery from disability and distress. This work is constant in hospitals, sanitariums, camps, soldiers' homes, in the community. For example, in helping disabled men and women in places where they were transient real dents $173,076 from national funds alone was required to help solve their problems. Every Red Cross service is ever at hand ready to meet the individual need of these men and women. The enlisted men in the Regular Army, the Navy, and the Marine Corps with their home ties, mean a never-ending Red Cross service which figures cannot fully interpret. In this work a total of $685,285 was applied in meeting an obligation under the Red Cross charter which has been fulfilled for over 20 years. Domestic Operations Extensive In the past year Red Cross operations were almost wholly confined to continental United States and the insular possessions. Relief work following disasters called for immediate activities in 192 places and a total of $737,603.87 was spent in this service alone. In 33 major disaster trained workers were kept at the work of rehabilitation for many months. In carrying on the health activities a total of $444,886.66 from Red Cross national funds, and $808,000 from Chapter treasuries—approximately $1,252,886 in all—was applied, giving some idea of the extent of Red Cross service in the fields of public health nutrition instruction and The most difficult thing to do is to think. If anyone should doubt it, let him try it some time. To rise above prejudice, and passion and personal interest and think a subject through to an inevitable, logical conclusion, starting from an axiom and keeping in mind only demonstrable facts and proved principles, ah, this is a feat. Our fears, our hopes, our avarice, our ingrained prejudices our hatreds determine our opinions and convictions moe often than our reason. He is a big man who can separate himself wholly from the narrowness of personal aversion and dislikes and the pettiness of selfish interest and give a clear, unbiased judgment upon an issue in which he does more or less personally concerned. One of the sure signs that a person is thinking in the term of prejudice and passion rather than of rational thought is his quick descent in an argument to the use of epithets and the impugning of motives. It is muc heasler to transfix your opponent with an opprobrious adjective than to disprove his argument much simpler to overwhelm him with billingsgate than to contradict his facts, easier to compute base motives than to prove his logic falacious. So fundamentalist calls the liberal "anti-Christ" and modernist retorts "oldfogey". Republican calls the Democrat "radical" and the Progressive "red" and they return the compliment by sneering allusions to Wall Street. Our friends of the religious press are sometimes eloquent in the language of vituperation and while in one column there may be a tearful plea for tolerance and gentle sympathy in the treatment of all questions, thru out the other pages the vocabulary of abuse is exhausted and the epithets bigot, fanatic and liar are the simplest and kindest. But while there may be temporary applause for the vehement editor who lays about him with the most uproarious verbal lashings, because the populace always loves a fight, in the long run prejudice, passion and hatred must yield to facts and reason.

For advancing the cause of human safety, the First Aid instruction, locally by Chapters and over extensive national territory by the Red Cross Instruction car covering trunk lines railroads, and in teaching water safety and increasing the membership of the Red Cross Life-Saving Corps, the total cost was $288,234.71, of which $216,234.71 came out of national funds. Army of Over 5,500,000 The Junior Red Cross in the schools — with over 5,500,000 in its "I serve" ranks — was aided with $233,510.78 to which it is estimated the Chapters added some $277,000—a total of $510,510.78. In various other domestic activities the Red Cross spent $283,473.19, and the Chapters in their numerous voluntary services expended an additional $1,948,000 during the year. Foreign obligations, aside from Japan, were met with national funds as follows: Relief of refugees in Greece. $200,887.18; Junior Red Cross projects. $99,579.75; League of Red Cross Societies. $165,000; other insular and foreign work. $221,855.31. The American Red Cross budget for 1924-25 is $4,647,790.85, or $368,286.96 less than the budget for the year ended last June 30.

NEEDED TWO BABIES, GOT THOUSANDS Babies in arms. Babies in Perambulators, Creeping babies. Toddling babies. Young Babies. Toothless babies. Howling babies. Gurgling babies. Hairless babies. Freckled babies. Babies of all sorts and all ages assailed the United Studio gates recently in answer to a small ad put in one of the Los Angeles papers by John Considine, general manager of the United Studios, who chose the cast for Norma Talmadge's latest National picture, "Secrets" coming to the California theater Sunday. Considine had need of two babies for Norma's picture, one about eight weeks old and the other about eight months. And every mother in Los Angeles thought her baby would exactly fit the requirements of the picture. When the seemingly endless procession of babies in their mother's arms and in baby buggies came up the cement walk leading to Norma's studio., Considine threw up his arms in dismay. Some of the "babies" were at least fourteen years old. Considine finally picked two babies from the host, one of them being little Frank Courtney Westmore, son of Norma Talmadge's hairdresser. Young Westmore is the namesake of Frank Lloyd, who directed Norma Talmadge in "Ashes of Vengeance," and of Courtney Foote, prominent English actor, who was in the fast of the same picture. What these wastes do not be determined. Throw a little light on even in some of their In 1923 the railways had 100,000 for deterioration in course of shipment Something like 4% of thus paid out, and they are just that much higher these damages. This COOPERATIVE MARKETING The following is an extract from an address made by Secretary of Commerce Hoover recently at Milwaukee, Wisconsin: I wish on this occasion to discuss certain phases of cooperative marketing, and to lay before you for your consideration some suggestions that I feel would make for the advancement and the improvement of our whole marketing system. Please observe that this is strictly non-political topic. I wish to state at the outset my firm faith that the future of our marketing of agricultural products lies in the larger development of the cooperative principle. I believe the time has come when we must take a strong and definite steps in its further development. When we consider the substitution of the new agency of distribution for the old one, we are considering a business proposition not on emotional or political one. The word "cooperative" carries no magic in the sale of goods; it must justify itself as a purely commercial operation. The success of any marketing agency must rest at once on the foundation that it can mobilize economics in distribution which are not open to its competitors and that it can show equivalent skill in administration. The agricultural cooperative when rightly adapted to its work, can secure certain advantages in distribution which no individual competitor can amass. We should not mislead ourselves into thinking that cooperation is the complete solution to the problem of marketing all agricultural produce. Nor is the form of cooperative organization the same in any two commodities. Moreover, the American system is not likely to be built successfully with the provisions of Europe where GENUINE BULL tion of the damages from deterioration alone, and there are other even larger wastes in transportation itself because of unnecessary haulage and delays, due to the fact that our present system requires a vast amount of reconsignment. A car of melons, for instance, reconsigned four times, traveled 3100 miles over indirect lines, and after 6 days on the road arrived totally decayed—when it could have been sent to its destination direct in 10 days at a saving of a thousand miles of transportation and the saving of the entire value of the shipment. I should guess that the total freight paid out by the perishable industry could reduce at least 20 per cent if these wastes alone were eliminated. This is but one category of waste out of seven. made before, will be sold on the 15th day of December, 1924, at one o'clock P.M., to pay for delinquent assessments together with cost of advertising and expense of sale.

Children love to eat these nourishing, crisp soda wafers! 3. The waste in decay arising from delayed movements and repeated handling. 4. The waste from inadequate facilities for expeditious handling, both in transportation and at terminals, and the waste in unnecessary transportation through blind consignment and cross-hauls in search of a consumer. 5. Waste from uncontrolled distribution by which local gluts and famines are created, with consequent destructive fluctuations in price levels and stimulation to speculation. 6. The waste from the destruction of agricultural capital itself through inadequate return by crowding the market in periods of slight over-production. 7. The waste in cost of speculation and hazards in distribution produced by all of the above because either the producer or the consumer must pay through lower margins to cover such risks. Cooperative marketing has been developing for many years, and any study of it will show that it has succeeded just so far as it has eliminated some of these wastes. Bpt I do not know of a single cooperative that has been able to save more than a part of them. If we can get an organization which will eliminate all the wastes, or any large part of them we shall have brought about a revolution in our distribution system. What these wastes amount to cannot be determined. Some figures throw a little light on their volume, even in some of their minor phases. In 1923 the railways paid over $10,000,000 for deterioration and losses in course of shipment of perishables. Something like 4% of the rates were thus paid out, and the freight rates are just that much higher because of these damages. This is but a fraction.
