Help given consisted chiefly of securing government compensation for disabled soldiers, adjusting disputed claims, caring for dependents while claims were being adjusted, as well as numerous other services. The fifth anniversary of the armistice, November 11, which marks the opening of the Annual Red Cross Roll Call, will see practically the numerical strength of an army division of disabled soldiers still in government hospitals, government officials state. Brigadier General Frank T.

Hines, in commenting on the serious problem presented by this army of disabled men said: "We are still in the duration of the war as regards this problems. We are particularly inter, ested in the work dealing with these men who are in our hospitals and assisting the men who have claims that are difficult to establish. We need the Red Cross co-operation and assistance because it is capable of going a step just beyond what the law authorizes, no matter what law we are operating under. "This work of training men and endeavoring to bring them back so that they may stand on their own feet is awe-inspiring, and in it the Red Cross spirit is inspiring all to do their best. From my observation in the work the Red Cross has been most helpful and valuable, not only to the disabled men, but to the Veterans' Bureau in bringing about measures of relief where needed, and where the veteran is justly entitled to relief." Winter snows, dreaded foes, Soon will chill the hands and toes Of the grown-ups and the kiddies in these parts But I grant that they can't Make them grouchy, make them rant, For they're fortified in body strength and hearts; We are dry, but we'll try Not to grumble, not to cry, But we know rain and snow And the chilly winds that blow, Never fail to make their schedules, like the trains.

When they're late, we must wait, But we charge it up to fate, And we oftentimes have foolish things to say.

On his trip through the West and to Alaaka there rani through all the speeches of the late President a note of keenest appreciation and concern for the preservation and perpetuating of nautural resource for the common use of enjoyment.

The same simple and reverent instinct that made him a lover of his kind grew in him an unaffected but sincere regard for nature, the forest and an understanding of what it means to human beings. That he was deeply interested in the conservation of forests, in the beautification of the land in the popular irtterest was made manifest time and again in eloquent public utterances. The hundreds of thousands of school children who will participate in Arbor Day exercises next Friday have the opportunity through the planting of Harding Memoial Oaks not only to aid materially the essential under standing of the place the tree takes in the common life, but to gain a positive exercise through example in a wholesome patriotism. It is hoped that every North Carolina school will ext Friday plant for its future care its significant Harding Memorial. ANDREWS LETS BIG CONTRACTS.
