CALLED ON FOR AID Five disasters in one month is ho record of Central Division, Amer'qan Red Cross. According to a report just received by members of the lo cal chapter, the div'sion was called iiDon five times in five different states to render assistance in disasters. Th outstanding feature of the Red Cross in all of these disasters was the promptness of chapter action. Divi sion workers in charge of these dis asters were high in their praise of the efficiency of the chapters. A cyclone in Cascade county, Mon.. tornadoes in Minnesota and the Da kotas and windstorms in Illinois caused enormous damage to property anl crops and considerable suffering among families in each community. The first half of 1324 shows a rec ord of more disasters drawing upon the relief sources of the America" Red Cross thnn any similar period in its history. Thirtv-five localities have been struck by floods, tornadoes explosions, fires and epidemics, eras ing the Red Cross to contribute $200,000 from its national treasury and more than that amount from chapters. Forty trained Red Cross workers are covering the tornado area at Lor Jain. Ohio, attending to every emer gency need of the people who sur vived. The Lorain disaster caused the most widespread destruction of any lister by the Red Cross this year.

The "fundamen tal evil" of the existing social system in America, is that "the raw mate rials and industries of the United Stat ot? are owned by the Garys. Mor gans. Rockefellers, Fords. McCor micks and other great capitalists," declares the platform of the workers' party of America, on which William 7.. Foster, workers' party candidate, will make his contest for president. The platform was made public to night by the central executive com mittee of the workers' party. "The government of the United States is and has been a government of, by and for the capitalists," the platform says in advocating using government power for the workers and the farmers "as it is now used by the capitalistic dictatorship." The platform declares each of the presidential candidates of the two major parties was nominated by cap italista and declared that Senator La Follette, independent candidate, is equally a supporter ot the capitalist system of exploitation." The goal of farmers and workers must be similar to that of Russian peasants and workers, the platform says. BROTHERHOOD D0ESNT JOIN LA FOLLETTE ENDORSEMENT Portsmouth. Va., Aug. 4.

The great outdoors is caLi'i ery effectively to a large part of the in habitants of the United States these long hot summer days judging by the steady stream of autos passing through this city over the King of Trails both north and south.

The other evening cars from Oregon, New York-, Utah. Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Ohio and Kentucky were to be seen roll ing along the highway, some going to the north while the residents from the Dakota9 and Minnesota were southward bound to see a new country while the dwellers in the southland were seeking the Minne sota lake country. If our old friend, Henry Ford, has elone nothing else he has made it possible for thousands to get ac quainted with many other sections of country aside from that in which they live and the people are every summer becoming better acquainted with their fellow citizens over the country. Every evening there are from two to eight cars parked at the tourist park in this city and this is just an indication of the many hundreds that each day and night are parkad in the larger places over the country.

The moving picture camera out In Cheyenne county, Colorado, lias se cured a real record of tha "work of the wheat harvest in that locality, where the harvesting is carried out by the use of the large combines. The process used in handling the harvest on the Colorado farms is unique to the average resident of the east and the movies will give them a real insight into the work. The Cheyenne County News, of Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, has the following very interesting account of the taking of the pictures, and T. II. Pollock, who has jjust returned from that locality states the occasion attracted much attention: "Cheyenne Wells and .Cheyenne county have been on the map for a long time, but never until now have they been able to break into motion pictures. "Learning of the advanced man nerner in which wheat was being harvested in this county, and that the largest combine thresher in the world was operating here, a Denver Pathe News photographer was sent to this county last Saturday to take a series of motion pictures showing the difference between cutting and threshing wheat with headers and a threshing machine, and a combined harvester, as used by Frank M. Swanson. "The picture of the headers work ing in connection with a threshing machine was taken at the Louie Brugger farm last Saturday after noon and, by the way, this method of handling a wheat crop would be a revelation to wheat growers 'back east,' where 4 0 acres is considered an enormous crop. "The photographing of the big combine, owned by Mr. Swanson, and with which he is harvesting his 1,200 acres of wheat, most of which is on the Lucas ranch about five miles northwest of Cheyenne Wells, was postponed until Sunday morn ing. About 40 cars, loaded with 200 people drove out to the wheat field to see the. interesting operation and pictures of the immense machine and the crowd watchin it were taken from all possible angles. In the af ternoon more pictures were taken of the combine in a different field, and also at the elevator showing the automatic dumping of wheat into bins, the elevation of the wheat and running it into cars ready for ship ment. "It might be interesting for some people to learn that this big factorv on wheels operated by Mr. Swanson, cuts a swath 3fi feet wide and also threshes the grain at the same time."
