Here are Americans, visitors to the Sesqul-Centenntal International Expo
sition In Philadelphia which celebrates the 150lh anniversary of the signing ot
the Declaration ot Independence, riding about the lagoons in an Italian craft,
a gondola, from which they view the buildings and displays from many lands.
In the distance can be seen the mammoth Sesqul Stadium; to the right is
the signal tower of the United States Coast Guard building and exhibit, and
to the left Is one of the Japanese pagodas which dot the exposition grounds.
The Grecian pavilion is one of the permanent structures on the site before

vrol'Tll pays the heaviest toll In annual automobile fatalities. From five
•*• to fifteen years Is the period when the greatest number of fatal accidents i
occur, for both sexes. The chart shows the age distribution of automobile i
deaths for men and women as given in the latest mortality figures prepared j
by the government. These figures, says the Stewart Warner Safety Council
for the prevention of automobile accidents, emphasize the need for more
playgrounds and Increased safety education among school children.
Complete statistics are not possible, as only 85 per cent of the United
States keeps mortality records. About 22.000 a yeer is generally conceded to
be the annual number of automobile fatalities. For 8.021 males known to have
trnen killed in one year there were only a third as many women, or 2,845, ir
spite of the fact that the male population Is only 4 per cent greater than the
female.
This chart does not take Into consideration the 060,000 Americans who
are Injured annually by automobiles. Such figures are not available except In
certain states, but that hoys and girls again make up the bulk of such
casualties is indicated by the records of New York state kept for the first
nine months of 1925. Here 11,708, or practically one third of the 88,302
Injured, were under fifteen years of age.

Cow Works Three Months to Give

KJ INETY days of hard labor on the part of the average dairy cow will
* ’ keep one person In milk for a year, according to the I.arrowe Institute
of Animal Economics. At least. It takes three met. lbs for her to turn out
the 1 .(MU pounds of milk necessary to provide the fluid and canned milk,
cheese, butter and Ice cream consumed per capita i>er year.
While this fact may be merely Interesting to the person consuming the
milk. It Is of vital Importance to the dairyman who depends upon this milk
for a living. For while the 4.368 pounds of milk produced by the average
cow in a year will meet the requirements of a family of four persons, by
the time one hns figured up the cost of the feed that has gone into the pro
duction. there really isn't very much left. The only way to permanently
Increase the Income per cow is in greater milk production per unit, govern
mem figures showing that when a cow’s milk yield Is doubled the profit Is
tripled, and when the yield is tripled the profit Is increased almost five fold
Experiments have proven that It Is entirely possible by better feeding and
management to Increase the milk yield of the average cow to a point where
three cows could supply four families with milk. To do this, however, the
hocus [»ocus feeding so commonly practiced on many dairy farms will have
to give way to more scientific methods. Comfortab'- quarters for tl* cows
an abundance of fresh water at all times, a plentiful supply of good hay
and n properly balanced green ration are some of the things that go far
toward securing greater profit per cow

PROGRESSIVE RED
GROSS CAMPAIGN
FOR HEALTH
Public Health Nursing, Nutrition
and Home Hygiene Work
Cover the Country.
Important contributions to public
health were made by the American
Red Cross through Its Public Health
Nursing Service, Nutrition Service,
and in instruction in Home Hygiene
and Care of the Sick. In every State
and Alaska, with the exception of
I Delaware and Nevada, instruction
was given by the Red Cross, also in
the Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Rico,
and Virgin Islands. A total of 57.370
women and girls learned to make a
hygienic home, and care for the sick
In their homes.
The United States Public Health
Service estimates that adequate rural
health nursing service would cost
120,000,000 annually, but would save
a billion dollars in value of human
life, earning power, and economic con
servation. The American Red Cross,
through its Public Health Nurses, of
whom there were nearly 800 on duty
the past year, is doing its part in
meeting this requirement.
The Red Cross, through its nutri
tion Service, taught thousands what
to eat for health. In this country, 24
States were served with from one to
ten Red Cross Chapter nutrition pro
grams in each State. In 38 States,
nutrition instruction was glveu either
through the regular nutrition instruc
tors or through volunteer dietitians.
During the school year an average
of 15,413 individuals a month, includ
ing parents, teachers, pre-school, and
school children, were assisted to a
better knowledge ot food in its rela
tion to health, and how to apply it to
their daily lives. In March, 111,219
individuals received this instruction,
while during the year 3,588 classes
were conducted and 6,450 conferences
and home visits were given by nutri
tionists, thus reaching thousands of
individuals.
The Annua! Roll Call for Member
ship from November 11 to 25 is an in
vitation to all persons to assist in
maintenance of such services through
another year by enrolling in the
American Red Cross.

ot the sick required $152,466 in nu
trition instruction. $164,107 was ex

The Red Cross campaign to reduce
deaths from accidents and drowning,

Saving Service, called for $352,385,
and has shown tangible results in
lives saved annually.
The Junior Red Cross, one of the
foremost peace influences in the
world, was carried on at a cost of
$531,053 All local Chapter activities
of the Red Cross cost $823,090. while
other domestic operations of the Red
Cross, borne by National Head
quarters, amounted to $264,040.
The remainder of the fiscal year’s

WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Times have changed since Shake
speare asked the question, “What's in
a name?” In the day of the British
Bard the biggest skinflint was the
most successful merchant. You enter
led his place of business with your
eyes open and your fingers crossed.
You haggled and you bargained, and
if you were especially clever you get
out with your purse, though it might
be empty. A merchant’s name meant
i nothing.
Today it is different. Modern busi
ness methods and modern advertising
have brought about the change. The
biggest asset of any successful bus
: iness in this age is a good name built
up through fair dealing, fair policies
and good merchandise.
Advertising creates reputation.
Makers of advertised products and
merchants who sell these products
frequently value the names at mil
lions of dollars. They can not afford
to jeopardize the worth of these
names by selling anything tfut good
I merchandise of full measure and
■ fair price.
A merchant does not dare to ad
vertise goods that will not give serv
ice. He has his good name to protect.
You can bank on this—advertised
wares must be advertised. That’s why
lit pays you to deal with advertisers
I and to buy advertised merchandise.
Advertising is your protection—

THE FARM PROBLEM
In all attempts to solve the farm
problem, the chief difficulty is not in
determining what things ought to be
‘dene, but in inducing the farmer to
do -them. It is almost unanimously
i agreed that certain conditions are nec
essary to safe farming.
1. The raising of all stock feed
and as much food as possible at home.
This means grain, hay, gardens, cows,
hogs and poultry.
2. Keeping up soil ferility by
growing soil-building crops to be
plowed under thus saving fertilizer
expense .
3. Reduction of acreage of crops,
like cotton, which are nearly always
overproduced. In other words prac
tice diversification.
4. General adoption of coopera
i tive marketing.
The first two conditions may be
established by the individual farmer.
The last two require cooperation, par
ticularly the marketing of crops.
While legislation may be helpful to
a certain degree, no legislation will
ever make farming safe and depend
able without the observance of the
principles stated.
In order to meet the ever growing
'seriousness of agriculture's plight,
farmers must organize and stay or
'ganized, just as industries do- for
farming is also a business and an in
dustry—the greatest in the country.
Tn order to be a “live one” it is
necessary to be dead in earnest.

GOT HIM AT LAST
After several years of unsuccess-1
3 ful effort to get a local hardware i
r merchant to advertise, the publisher j
‘of a Kansas weekly newspaper re
, I cently was surprised to receive an or
-5 der for a full page from the former
- non-advertiser.
Glancing at the copy, the publisher I
- discovered that it announced a “clos-j
ing out sale.” The harware man was
3 going out of business. His advertis
. ing competitors had taken his trade
- and there was nothing left for him to
do. So the newspaper man had land-
> ed his prospect at last.
1 The merchant recognized the power
-of advertising to help him to get out
3 of business, but had failed to recog
nize its power to help him to stay in
; business. There are a lot of mer
, chants like that.
r Mrs. V. W. Skinner and son, John,
- left Saturday for their home in Val
i dosta, after a two months visit to
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Godwin. They were
s! accompanied to Rome by Miss Jack
| Foster.

The five-day week gives more leis
ure hours to spend money and more
