The Red Cross tights for American humanity —it ftghta against Ignorance, sickness, suf taring and misery in every form For the Red Cross, the war Is not over And did you think the war was over'' Then ask yourself a few questions Ask yourself what Is to be done about — The 260,000 disabled fighting men? The 800,000 American boys who were •'unfit for service”? The one American baby out of seven that dies In Its first year? The 200,000 people who die annually of tuberculosis?

PENNANTS FOR CHAPTERS THAT GET MOST MEMBERS Atlanta, Ga. —Chapters of the Amer ican Red Cross In the southern division that make good records in the Third Red Crons Call. November 2-11, will not go unbonored. It was announced today at southern division beadqu&r ters of the Red Cross that a pennant is ofTered to the chapter in each state that secures the largest number of members during the Roll Call In pro portion to the population of the county in which the chapter Is located An other and larger pennant will be given to the chapter that secures the most members In proportion to its popula tion competing against all chapters In the division, which includes the states of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida There are 689 chapters in the entire division, and to win the division pennant will be quite a Job as well a* quite an honor, as many of the chapters already have be gun an active campaign for members. The pennants, which In themselves will be a fitting oHfament to the wall of any chapter house, will be awarded as soon as final results are tabulated at (be close of the campaign American soldiers in tbe battle of | the Argonne were actually In leas dan ger than babies less than a year old in America are now, according to statis tics gathered by the Southern Divis ion, American Red Cross Whereas, one American soldier in forty was killed in the Argonne. One baby in : eight, less than a year old, dies each year from preventable diseases. Most of these deaths are due to ignorance of proper feeding and care, which may be remedied in a large roeasuie by instruction given by pub lic health nurses. THE BARROW TIMES, WINDER, GEORGIA. sl.Ol SPENT FOR EVERY $1 GIVEN RED CROSS HAD REMARKABLE RECORD OF ECONOMY IN WAR. Money Given In Third Roll Call To Go Mainly for America and Americans. Atlanta, Ga. —There are two facts about the Third Red Cross Roll Call which campaign leaders in the south are emphasizing—one the fact that the Red Cross has proved its ability and trustworthiness to handle funds in a business-like way, and the other, the fact that the money received in the Third Roll Call will be expended al most wholly In America for the benefit of the American people When anybody asks whether money given to the Red Cross will be frit tered or squandered, campaign speak ers turn to Its war record and point to the remarkable fact that for every dol lar given by the American people, sl.Ol went to the actual purpose for which the money was intended. In other words, each dollar earned two cents interest. One cent of that two cents provided for expenses of administra tion, and the dollar itself and a cent besides went to actual relief work. If the Red Cross could do that in the war, when no organizations and no nations were any too careful or econo mic iD the way they spent money, Red Cross workers declare, it is certainly to be believed that the Red Cross will do as well, at the least, in peace and that money given in the Ham Roll Call will go, not for expenses, right where it is most needed and right where the man or woman who gave it wanted it go out when he joined the Red Cross and paid his dollar As for the exact purpose for wfc* ' the money will be spent, they Dr Livingston Farrand, national chair man of the Red Cross, who said re rently: "The American people are not asked for huge sums to pour Into Europe for the relief of stricken peo ples of other countries Only a com paratively small sum will be set acid* for that purpose, and It only to ad minister supplies already entrusted to the Red Cross by the American gov ernment, not to buy any more supplies. It will be merely toward defraayiag the comparatively light expenses of flnisb ing a job already almost completed. By far the greater percentage of the money secured tn this compalgn from the American people will be returned directly to the American people in the form of better health and tiring conditions ” Asa concrete expression of the ap proval of the government of Red Cross methods, more than ten million dollars worth of medical and food supplies have been recently turned over to the Red Cross by the government to be distributed More than fifty thousand women 'pledged their support o the Third Red Cross Roll Call at a recent meet ling in Attlanta, where the heads of the women’s organisations of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina. North Caro lina and Tennessee, gatherd at the in vitation of Miss Rosalie Howell, direc tor of the Women’s Division. Joseph L. McMillan, Division Roll Call Di rector, believes that the support of the organized women will insure the suc cess of the membership drive BARROW COUNTY AGRICUL TURAL EXHIBIT, SOUTH EASTERN FAIR, ATLAN TA. No doubt most every one in our county already knows that we had a Barrow County Agricultural Exhibit on at the Southeastern Fair this year. Friday during our County Fair a representative of the Southeast ern Fair Association visited us and insisted that we come to their fair with a County Exhibit. After talking with this representative I told him that we could not put on a first class exhibit because we had not prepared for it, but I knew that we could put on a very good exhibit provided the farmers wanted to do it. I then got the farmers, who had exhibits at our County Fair, together and let the Southeastern Fair representative explain to them about exhibiting, and we all decided to send a Coun ty Exhibit. The North tleorgia Fair Asso ciation was ready, as usual to help our County make this exhibit a success at the Southeastern Fair. They made this liberal offer to the farmers and myself: “Cet lip a good Agricultural Exhibit that will be a credit and a good adver tisement to Barrow County and if the premiums you may win do not cover the expense, The North tleorgia Fair Association will pay the expense of County Exhibit.” The Members of the Bethlehem Union Local were the leaders in helping me to get np and put on our County Exhibit. The men and women who went to Southeastern Fail' and helped to put. up and take down our exhibit wore the following: Mr. and Mrs. J. L. (ireeson, Mr. and .Mrs. (i. \V. Ful ler, Mr and Mrs. ,1. 11. Bedding field, Mrs. Phillips of Winder, Miss Rose Dillard, Cos. Home Pom. Mr. Ik 11. Odum, Messrs. Fred and Henry Fuller and myself. The farmers did not send quite enough produets to fill a regular sized booth so we cut our space down to T 5 by .‘lO feet. We put up an exhibit, which our county can justly feel proud of although tye did nol compete for premiums. The Southeastern Fair Association gave ns the reg ular bonus for a County Exhibit also the same amount of money as the tenth premium. Mr. Lyon, manager of Agricultural Exhibits Southeastern Fair, told me that Hie judge of the exhibits said if Barrow County had had their full space they would have ranked about third or fourth. Quite a number of people gave us many complements on our County Exhibit. Also the old ex hibitors there told us if we go back next year they will have to get busy to he ahead of Barrow County. Our Exhibit attracted as much if not more attention than any other County Exhibit 1 think, and J was told this by Mr. Lyon and several others. There was most always someone standing in front of Barrow County Exhibit asking questions and seeing what we had. Among the things we showed in out exhibit were the following: Cotton from the seed and sprout ing stage to the finish product of both the seed and lint, for which we are due the Oil Mill, Bell Over all Company, and Woodruff Mfg. Company, thanks. Second Wheat and all of its products for which we are due thanks to the Winder Roller Mill. Avery attractive canning exhibit for which we thank Mrs. Philips of Winder, the Canning Club Oirls. and mem bers of tbe Bethlehem Farmer’s Union. Did our Agricultural Kxhibit from Barrow County advertise and boost our county? We had a big sign twenty feet long and eighteen inches high on which was written Barrow County Georgia. This was posted over our booth. People flocked around our booth and asked a million questions. nu,— - asked: “Where is Barrow Coun ty?” “What town is the county seat?” “What railroads traverse the county?” “Have you boll wee vils there?” “What products grow best in Barrow County?” “Is the water good?” “Wlmt is farm land worth per acre?” “Is there any land for sale?” “Can 1 rent a farm in you county?” “What kind of manufacturing plants have you?” “Is there a good opening for this or that kind of business or manufacturing plant?” “Do your laborers re ceive good prices?” Among the many good things we who helped with our county exhibit at the Southeastern Fair got were the practical experience of putting on a county exhibit, and tlie good ideas gotten by studying exhibits from other counties which will he helpful to us in putting up exhibits in the future. The farmers are making plans and proparing to have Agricultur- al exhibits not only at our county fair, hut at tlie State fair, and at the Southeastern next fall which shall he second to none. These farmers asked me to speak for space for Barrow County. This I have already done. There will be only ten county exhibits at the Southeastern Fair next fall, and only four of these will he (Jeorgia counties.

The estimated at tendance at the Southeastern Fair was 250.000 people. Of course the majority of these went through the Agricultural Building and no>- doubt saw Barrow County Exhi bit.

Let all of us pull together to make our exhibits at the County Fair the best ever, and also have the Blue Ribbon County at the Southeastern and State Fairs next fall. 1 also feel proud of the showing at the Southeastern Fair that our Pig and Calf Clubs made.
