Tlie greatest task ever undertaken
by a relief agency In the history of
private charity la drawing to a close
with the final distribution of cotton
clothing to more than live million
families by the American Red Cross.
At the direction of the Congress, be-
ginning eighteen months ago, the Red
Cross undertook to convert the wheat
and cotton surpluses of the Farm
Board into food and clothing for the
unemployed and needy. In the con-
sequent operation, tills relief agency
entered upon a commercial enterprise
greater than any single commercial
firm has ever undertaken in the same
period of time. *
In the ensuing months the Red
Cross converted 85,000,000 bushels of
wheat into flour a-nd bread and gave it
to 5,803,000 families. The distribution
was through 3,700 Red Cross chapters
and hundreds of other charitable agen-
cies. During the severe northwestern
drought of 1931 the Red Cross also
gave wheat in the form of food for live-
stock to 184,188 families.
The clothing — dresses, underwear,
overalle, jumpers, sweaters and stock-
ings for men, women and children, and
even blankets and comforters—was dis-
tributed to 5,465,410 families. More
than 54,000,000 ready-made garments
and 92,000,000 yards of cstton cloth
were given to the needy. This clothing
came from 844,000 bales of cotton.
The wheat distribution was conclud-
ed In June, 1933, and Anal distribution
of cotton clothing Is occurring in the
fall months. 9
In handling these tasks voted to It
by Congress, the Red Cross will ex-
pend from Its own treasury $735,000.
At the same time the organization car-
ried on Its regular program of disaster
relief; of service to the veterans of all
our wars; of educational and welfare
work through the Junior Red Cross;
of health education and public health
nursing and of life saving and first aid
Funds for this work come from the
membership roll call the Red Cross
chapters conduct from Armistice Day
to Thanksgiving Day, when every one
is invited to Join the Red Cross and aid
In this vital relief work.

WHEN TO STOP ADVERTISING
When every man has become so thoroughly
-a creature of habit that he will certainly buy
this year where he bought last year.
When younger and fresher and spunkier
concerns in your line cease starting up and
using the newspapers in telling the people how
much better they can do for them than you can.
When nobody thinks “it pays to advertise.”
When population ceases to multiply and the
generations that crowd' on after you, and never
heard of you, stop coming on.
When you have convinced everybody, whose
life will touch yours, that you have better goods
and lower prices than they can get anywhere
outside your store
When you perceive it to be the rule that men
who never do and never did advertise are out-
stripping their neighbors in the same line of
business.
When men stop making fortunes right in
your sight, solely through the discreet use of'
this mighty agent.
When you can forget the words of the
shrewdest and most successful business men
concerning the main cause of their prosperity.
•
When you would rather have your own way
and fail than take advice and win.
When you want to get out of business with
a stock on hand.
When you want, to get rid of the trouble of
waiting on customers.-N. E. A. Service Bulletin.

Dan Diehl, dislriel extension
agent for southwestern Okla.,
who is well and favorably known
to many iarmors in the county,
then asked to speak a few min-
utes. and explained that a chain
was necessary to go with the
jewel, and stated that n few of
the extension people at hend-
jquarters were arranging to pur-
chase a chain when olhers insist-
ed on contributing for the pur-
pose, and said that the chain was
the gift of many admirers and
he then presented Air. Marks
with a beautiful white gold
chain.
The jewel is an oblong device
of old gold hearing across it di-
agonally the three Greek letters,

amonds nre inserted in one cor-
