WHO PAYS ;
- THE FREIGHT?
o e
The wide margain between the
price received by the producér anc
that paid by 'the consumer is dis
cusged by A. W. Winburn, President
uf the Central of Georgia Railway
Company, in a statement appearing
slsewhere in this issue. Mr. Win
burn’s "discussion is based on a re
cent editorial in the Cochran (Ga.)
Journal, which points out that a far
mer who sells a hog at 10 cents per
pound on foot buys back boiled ham
at 80 cents per pound. The Cockran
editor asks how much freight was
paid on the ham from Cochran to
Moultrie, from Moultrie to Chicago,
from Chicago to Macon, and from
Macon back to Cochran. -
Althought this journal is out of
the ordinary, Mr. Winburn shows
that the entire freight. amounts 'to}
only 2% cents per pound, and’of the
difference of 79 ¢ents per pound be
tween the price received by the pro “
Aucer and that paid by the consuner
S - it
reight rates were responsible, therc |
“sre, for a little more than 3 pe 1
ent. Something elese is responsi
e for the other 97 per cent. M» !
Winburn declares that freight rat‘es]
are not a governing factor in bring-i
’ling about the spread in price be-|
“ween producer and consumer, and
i.zhat transportation rates are not
handicapping agriculture, but trans
nortation servece is the salvation of
agrieulture. The railway executivei
agrees -with the Georgia Editor who
concludes that the trouble lies in
an unbusiness-like system of farm
ing which forces produets on the
market in a disorderly manner, ad
%versely‘affecting the farmer on one
end and the consumer on the other.

RED CROSS HELPS
WAR'S SUFFERERS
Aids 200,000 Veterans and
Their Families—27,ooo Dis« -
ahled Still in Hospitals, |
SPENDS $5,866,255 IN YEAR
Individual Attention Assured to
All Physically Ailing or
! ' in Distress. 1
— \
"'Washington, — War service five
years after the armistice, which on
November 11 the American Red Cross
mearks with the opening of the annual
membership canvass, shows that dur
ing the past year assistance was ex
tended by the Red Cross to some 200,
000 ex-sérvice men or their fami
lies. To 130 hospitals throughout the
country approximately 75,000 ex-serv
ice men were admitted for treatment,
and to 63,296 of these men definite and
specialized service was extended, the
Red Cross-annual report discloses. In
all hospitals under government, opera
tion a total of nearly 27,000 disabled
veterans were reported by the Sur
geon General of the Army.
These facts of the aftermath of
physical and metal disability five years
after the World War, and the burden
resting upon the relatives and de
pendents of the ex-service men, show
conclusively the great need of the
Red Cross to act as a supplementary
arm of the government in service to
these many thousands of men who
wore the uniform of the United States.
It should be emphasized that govern
ment assistance is necessarily stand
ardized along specified lines affecting
them as a whole. The Red Cross serv
ice is to the individual man and the l
solution of his problems. This the
Red Cross designates “home service”
for its .aims to give the loving care
and interest of the home to these men
undergoing physical reccnstitution
far from their actual home influences.
- Year's Expenditures $5,866,255
In the year ended last June 30 the
Red Cross reports $3,920,000 spent by
its Chapters in extending individual
attention to the ex-service men and
$1,946,255 spent by National Head
quarters of the Red Cross, a total of
$5,866,257) In behalf of the men called
to duty in the World War the Red
Cross since July 1, 1917, has spent
nearly $164,000,000. Today there are
2,608 Chapters in as many localities
carrying on this work, aiding the in
dividual veteran, assisting his family,
furnishing cr:jre comforts and
funds to tide o roublesome perieds.
The strong connecting link between
the Red Cross and the United States
Veterans’ Bureau takes the complica
tions out of difficult cases of claims.
The Red Cross in this work requiring
personal representation of the ex-serv
ice man has acted in appeal cases, in
surance matters, persohal and family
problems, camp and hospital activi
ties, and in cases of death. This serv
ice handled nearly 12,000 compensa
tion and insurance claims, and 2,225
allotment and other claims.
" Solves Serious Problem
‘The-financial problem of the ex-serv
ice man when traveling to and from
hospitals is a serious one, and in meet
ing this constant demand the Red
Cross expended $138,334.17 during the
year. TFor extra recreational equip
ment in Veterans’ Bureau training
centers $14,306. was spent, and for the
blinded veterans in the government
school funds were supplied to enable
some of these unfortunate men to en
ter business as storekeepers and poul
try raisers.
In Veterans’ Bureau hospitals the
record of a single month illustrates
the large service rendered by the Red
Cross. For example, 15,604 new cases
required attention, and a total of 26,
007 cases were acted upon; 49,368 let
ters and 1,863 telegraph messages
written, and more than 1,600 enter
tainments given in recreation houses
for the benefit of the patients.
Authorities declare that the pres
ent is a critical time in the lives of
many of the disabled ex-service men
who during the five years since the
armistice have developed misgivings
of recovery.
Work Among the “Regulars”
Service to the enlisted men of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps is a
charter obligation of the Red Cross,
which in the last year recorded over
200,000 cases of assistance extended
and 834,420 visits to the sick and dis
abled. Inquiries by the Red Cross at
the request of Government authori
tied inte the home conditions of sol
diers, sallors and marines aggregated
17,714, and there were nearly 6,000
instances where the Red Cross locat
ed men for their families.
‘All these activities constituting a
single responsibility of the American
Red Cross demonstrated during the
year that its “war sgrvice” in behalf
of the veteran and the man enlisted
in the nation’s defensive arms must
go forward unfalteringly and with
out stint of funds. The work of the
last five years has welded a close
bond of regard between the men who
sacrificed and the Red Cross, whose
efforts are praised and indorsed by
the veterans’ organizations. To do
all that can be done to soften the con
sequences of the hard blows of war
is the supreme duty of the Red Cross,
to which it is giving its best work and
most liberal service. :

Junior Red Cross
.
Spreads Good Will
~ Throughout World
Nearly 6,000,000 pupils in the schools
of Amgrica are following the standard
of unselfish service as members of the
American Junior Red Cross, the an
nual report of the American Red Cross
discloses, This valiant host is rep
‘resented In 125,072 school rooms of
24,289 schools throughout the United
States. With a service program that
is local, national and international in
scope, the American Junior Red Cross
Is working unfalteringly for health
and happiness and in the promotion
of activities among boys and girls
wherever there is opportunity for use
fulness,
Increased activity on the part of
the schools enrolled and deeper recog
nition by school authorities of the ed
ucational valueg of Junior Red Cross
have been significant features of the
last year. Carrying on educational
and relief work in France, Poland,
Austria, Hungary, Jugoslavia, Albania,
Bulgaria and Rumania, the American
Juniors have influenced the forming
of Junior departments in the Red
Cross organizations of these coun
tries. American boys and girls wear
ing the “I Serve” button of the Jun
jors are proving apt messengers of
the spirit of good will and mutual un
derstanding through correspondence
with pupils in schools scattered
throughout the world. At the close
of the school year in June 2,00°
schools were engaged in correspond
ence with a like number of schools
in Europe; 284 schools in our insular
possessions and Alaska territory car
ried on an exchange of letters with
schools in the United States and South
Africa. In fact, nearly 2,700 schools
with probably 100,000 pupils were busy
in this fine act of cheerful communi
cation, while 8,347 articles passed
through National Headquarters of the
Red Cross in exchanges between the
interested pupils here and overseas.
An incident of the year’s advance was
the beginning of activity which will
eventually install Junior Red Cross
in the Indian schools of the United
States.
From every section of the country
reports of the tour of the unit of crip
pled children with their chorus which
came from the Bakule school in
Prague, Czechoslovakia, to show grati
tude to the American Juniors for their
assistance declare that nothing since
the World War has done so much to
awaken the Red Cross spirit in the
communities visited by the unit.
The work of the American Juniors
in foreign fields is emphasized in the
advancement of playgrounds, scholar
ships in farm, trade and other schools,
community and school garden work,
and donations of cash and equipment
to children’s organizations. In these
projects $112,660.17 was spent during
the last year in ten European coun
tries, in China and in the Virgin Is
lands.
“It is inconcelvable that the Red
Cross could have come thus far only
to retreat; that it could have suc
ceeded up,to the present time only to
fail.”—President Coolidge.
Liberal to Ex-Service Men
Over $l,OOO was expended by each
of the 3,600 American Red Cross Chap
ters in the past year in behalf of dis
abled ex-service men. The actual to
tal spent was $3,930,000.

Quirinal, as it is figuratively used,
