U. S. GOVERNMENT HAS A MESSAGE TO DAIRY PEOPLE OF ENTIRE WORLD

And Has Chosen National Dairy Show in Chicago in October as Place to Transmit IL FOREIGN NATIONS TO GET IT Delegations From Many Landa Across Seas Will Be Present to Loam What Uncle Sam Has to Say About This Most Important \ * World Industry. People of the world most have milk and milk products in ever-increasing quantities. Never was the necessity quite as vital as now. The dairy industry in many of the Countries of war-torn Europe has been, in a large measure, destroyed by the ravages of the sanguinary conflict Infant mortality in some of these European countries, following the loss of dairy cattle and dairy products, was something appalling during the year, and even is little better. The United States government has had commissions in Europe studying this condition; it has had commissions devoting deep study to the dairy situation in this country. And the government's message on the necessity for continued and increased production of dairy cattle in the United States and of milk and its products is to be delivered to the nations of the entire world at the National Dairy Show that is to be held this year in Chicago from October 6 to 12. As z Important as Any War Measure. Governmental heads at Washington consider this message to be as important as any delivered to the people while the great war was in progress. Congress has appropriated $25,000 expressly for the purpose of enabling those departments of the federal government Interested to exhibit at the (National Dairy Show, to deliver this ringing post-war mesage and to visualize to the people the relation of milk and milk products to human life. Through the department of state at Washington formal Invitations were lextended to all foreign governments to (send delegations or commissions to Chicago at the time of the National Dairy Show to get the message and lalso' to exchange information and Ideas. The management of the Dairy Show Is advised that already 17 foreign governments have accepted this invitation and will send delegations to the Dairy Show. It is probable that many others Will do likewise. Thus, the National Dairy Show of 1919 takes on an international character. It will be the post-war clearing house and bureau of information on the dairy Industry of the world. States Take Notice of the Show. Official recognition of the importance of the National Dairy Show this year to the country and the tfrorld at large will also be taken by governors of different states, in all probability. The United States government is asking for a large attendance at the show that its message may be heard by many ears and its very wonderful and complete exhibits may be seen by many eyes. There is no person in any way connected with the great dairy Industry of the United States —an Industry whos£ output runs up to the tremendous estimated total of three billion ($3,000,000,000) dollars a year—who should miss the Dairy Show. Thf government has a most vital and important message for all.

TAKE A LESSON FROM UNCLE SAM

Everyone is Interested in the dairy business, both those engaged in it and those who use milk and milk products—the latter including almost everyone. The United States government wants the people of this country to know more about milk and milk products and their relation to hMman life. That’s why congress Appropriated $25,000 to enable the governmental departments interested to be adequately represented at the National Dairy Show in Chicago this year. The United States has been spending large sums of money in Investigating dairy conditions in this and foreign Countries. Why not take a lesson from Uncle Ram and learn more about milk and milk products? The place is the National Dairy Show in Chicago, from October 6 to 12.

Miss Julia Lathrop, head of the Children’s Bureau at Washington and one of the country’s most noted women, win be at the National Dairy Show in Chicago this year. There will be enormous exhibits and competitions of milk, butter and cheese from all parts of the country at the National Dairy Show in Chicago this year. The dairy Industry is the industry that furnishes, man’s most vital food.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO LAUNCH THIRD ROLL CALL

ONE million volunteers to help in the work connected with the Third Red Cross Call. November ML is the appeal leaned by the National Headquarters of the organisation Each local Red Cross chapter Is interested in enrolling workers in the community who win make this Roll Call an overwhelming success. The November campaign has two purposes—to secure for IMO as nearly universal membership as possible, and to obtain $16,000,000 for the completion of relief work abroad, undertaken during the war. State campaign managers for the Lake Division of the American Red Cross have been appointed by MacKenzle R. Todd, campaign manager for the division. R F. Grant is manager for Ohio, Clarence Stanley for Indiana and John R. Downing for Kentucky. Under the leadership of these men the Lake Division, comprising these three states, hopes to equal its previous records. In the last War Fund Drive the division oversubscribed its quota Of 1J.400,000 by almost $4,600,000. In the first Roll Call these states were the first to go over their quota. In the second Roll Call, In spite of the influenza epidemic, the Lake Division managed to enroll over 2,235,000 new members. During ths war there were two annual Red Cross campaigns, the War Fund Drive and the Christmas Roll Call for membership. The November campaign win be the only one this year, and in succeeding years there will be only the annual. Roll Call. In naming this sum of $16,000,000, the Red Cross has tried to determine the smallest amount which will enable ft to round out its work. It is believed that the end of our foreign obligations is in sight and, accordingly, the Red Cross is turning its chief attention and energy to the development of a clearly defined home program, which already Includes systematic preparedness for disaster relief, a widespread nursing plan, continuing Homs Service operations, First Aid instruction, and a Junior Red Cross program, all of which depend for their success upon large and vigorous chapters. For these reasons, the enrollment of members is the chief purpose of the November campaign. It is the primary ambition of the American Red Cross to be of service to Americans.

WHY DOES THE AMERICAN RED CROSS NEED FUNDS?

Because—The Red Cross cannot withdraw the helping hand extended to soldiers, sailors, and marines until every one of them Is st home—st work again, or receiving medical care. Because—The medical and surgical supplies of the American Expeditionary Forces made available for use by the Red Cross by a recent act of Congress must be distributed and administered. Because—The devastated countries .of Europe cannot meet, with their own resources, the problems of sickness and disease among grown people and children, and the building up of man power. Because—To be of service to Americans, the American Red Cross Is preparing to launch Its peace program of continued Home Service, First Aid, Public Health Nursing, and extended Junior Red Cross activities.

RED CROSS ANNOUNCES PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAM

AN outline of the peace time program of the American Red Cross has been given, follow- . Ing the announcement of the Third Red Cross Roll Call. November 8-11, for members and a fund of 115,000,000. Foremost will be the nation-wide activity for the promotion of public health, and hand' In hafid with this crusade will go a vigorous campaign for the extension of the country's resources. In its public health campaign the American Red Cross will make an effort to reduce the high mortality rate and to Improve general health conditions. Red Cross public health nurses will be assigned to as many small communities as possible, thus extending to the rural population the bedside nursing, school inspection, classes in hygiene and home nursing that have been so effective in cities. In this connection it is planned to offer to every woman in America instruction in home sanitation, hygiene, care of the sick and dietetics, thus providing first-hand knowledge of bow to keep the family well and what to do where illness or accident cannot be avoided. These courses are now being Introduced Into the public schools and colleges, and are offered to department store employees, factory operates, girl scouts, nurse maids and others, fitting them to help oombat infant and child mortality, malnutrition, unsanitary living conditions, preventable disease and epidemics in their own home. The 7,000 public health nurses tn the United States are far too few to meet the ever Increasing demands for their services, and funds are needed tor the establishment of scholarships fw the trainins ot nurses for this highly specialized work.

FINANCING THE FARM ON THE BUDGET PLAN

War Savings Organization Gives Tiller of Soil System on Which to Increase Capital for Future. Farming nowadays justly is recognized as a business aud a profession. As a profession it is prepared for as carefully as any other branch of highly specialized endeavor; as a business it is conducted according to business methods and upon a businesslike basis. Old-time “hit or miss” farming methods fall utterly under the present economic regime. The first step toward businesslike farm management consists of systematizing farm finances. Because farm moneys come in irregularly they have been handled too often in the past without any adequate accounts or record. This method, rendered impossible by Income tax necessities, long has been scorned by the successful, progressive farmer who believes tn modern machinery, modern comforts, modern efficiency practices and projects. Such a farmer employs a farm budget just as he employs grain, soil and weather statistics in the arrangement of his farm operations, takes a good farm journal and demands fine and well-tested seeds. Because not every farmer cares to spend time making out an individual tarm budget governmental experts, working through the War Savings Stamps department of the War Loan Organization, Seventh Federal Reserve district, have provided for the use of every farmer who cares to employ them farm records, Including account sheets, that render the keeping of farm accounts a simple task. One page of the simple pamphlet containing the indicated records is devoted to receipts, its opposite to expenditures, each registered every day of the year. Milk, butter, poultry, eggs, cattle and hogs, sheep, oats, corn, hay, fruit, vegetables and miscellaneous—these are the headings under which the Irregular or recurrent sources of income are listed. Total income for each day Is shown at the right of the page, monthly total, collective and for separate items, at the foot. The expenditures page, similarly arranged, shows headings of: Savings, including War Savings Stamps purchased,, bank deposits, etc.; labor; food, including groceries nnd meat; clothing; repairs; blacksmith; machinery; rent, insurance and taxes; live stock and feed; buildings; literalure, which Includes books, magazines and newspapers; recreation; and miscellaneous. Again, dally totals are shown at the right of the page, monthly totals, itemized and general, at the foot.- Companion pages, similarly arranged, show yearly summaries, almost instantaneously computed, of receipts and expenditures for the year. War Savings Stamps make ideal investments for the farmer. Purchasable for sums ranging from $4 and a few odd pennies to SI,OOO, built up by means of Thrift Stamps, should this prove more convenient, they are nondepreciable, nonfluctuating, incomebearing and distinguished by high rate of maturity Interest. Previous to maturity they may be redeemed, if necessary, at precise face value.

HOW A SCHOOL BANK WORKS

Savings System In Eastern Institution Results In $50,000 Deposits, Averaging Weekly More Than $l4O. Twelve years ago a New England school principal called a meeting of the mothers and fathers in his district, and proposed that they help their youngsters and himself start a school savings bank. If children were to patronize such an Institution, they would have to have money, and he suggested that parents help them earn money by their own labor. He told them that the bank was to be part of school training, teaching thrift, industry, prudence and wisdom. Today this school savings bank, in the Henry Barnard school, Hartford, Conn., has deposits of more than $50,000. The average weekly deposit during twelve years has been more than $l4O. The largest deposit by any child since the opening of the bank Is $1,480, and the smallest less than sl. Operation of this bank is” Solon P. Davis, the school principal, describes It: Deposits are received every Monday morning during the first half-hour of school. The pupils of the eighth grade act as tellers, each being assigned to a given room. Each child Is provided with a pass book in which his deposits are entered by the teller. Deposits are made at the teacher’s desk, in the presence of the teacher and the teller, who enters them in his roll book. The teacher and teller then verify all deposits and place them In an envelope, which the teller delivers to the school secretary, who compares roll book and envelope, verifying the items. The envelopes are then forwarded to the Hartford Society for Savings, w%ere the accounts of the school are pledged. At Interest periods, December, March and June, the roll books are examined by the secretary, and a personal account Is opened at the Society for Savings for each pupil who has $2 in the school bank. After this, at these periods, all amounts of $1 or more, standing to his credit on a pupil’s school deposit book, are added to his personal account. If any pupil wishes to withdraw his money a written statement from the parent or the parent’s personal application is required.
