Repose In Hammocks Which May
Be Slunn Anywhere.
In Mcrldo, Yucntnn, the mojnrlty of
the people do not use hods. In fnct
very few of them hnvo even soon one.
They sleep In hammocks, which are
swung ncross the rooms nt night nnd
with no fuss of bedmnklng; the per
son Just rocs to bed and Is gently
rocked to sloop by any passing breeze.
Tho climate Is so hot that It Is only
during the months of January and
February that a Ilcbt shoot may be
required as covering. i
These hammocks liri IICllflKv t mi win .

Lilly doG. Osborn. In St. Nlchnlan, and
consist of thread, more or loss lino,
woven together on great frames with
n kind of shuttle or needle. Some of
the designs are wonderfully Intricate
nd the colors beautifully blended. I
saw one very largo one, made In the
colors of the United States Hag, which
-was to bo sent up to the UnltPd States
for n gift. It was certainly a work of
art, made of tho very finest mercerized
thread; and jot tho hammock could
easily support n weight of 300 pounds.
A servnut always brings his or her
own hammock, which Is very conven-lent.

Live stock Business.
The live stock Industry Is the larg
est and, In more than one sense,
tho most Important Industry In the
United States. Its extent, measured
by the value of live animals, amounts
to more than 58,000,000,000. Its Im
portance rests In the necessity for
live stock to consumo the products of
farms and ranges, 80 per cent of which,
according to census reports, Is fed to
live stock; In the maintenance of soil
fertility, which cannot be kept up con
tinuously nnd economically without a
considerable number of animals as a
part of the farm system; In the In
dispensable pluoo which anlmnl food
occupies In the American diet, of
which It makes up 38 per cent, based
on tho average co'nsumer's food-expense
account; nnd flnnlly. In the fnr
renchlng Influence which the growing,
fattening nnd marketing of live stock
has upon tho social and economic wel
fare of all classes of people, Including
producers, distributors, and the meat
consuming public.
The slaughtering nnd mont pack
ing business Is tho largest manufac
turing Industry In the United States,
according to the United States census
of manufacturers. The sales of live
slock in tho Chicago market alone to
taled nearly $1,000,000,000 In 1018, or
over .$3,000,000 a day, and the dally
sales at all of the centralized llvo stock
markets of this country total close to
$20,000,000.

proved so effective In keeping oift the

Memberships From Novem
ber 2 to 11.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
volunteer workers will be needed In
the Central Divi
sion to conduct the
third roll call of
the American Red

made from fWm.
tral Division headquarters In Chicago
cuuing upon tne men and women of ev
ery community to enlist for the ten-day
campaign to secure dollar annual
memberships. With approximately
600 chapters In the division, this num

a chapter. Every chapter will be a
recruiting ofilco for these workers.
Workers Will Wear Badges.

badge proclaiming that tho wearer is a

expression of confidence In the past
performances of the Red Cross and a
reaffirmation of allegiance to the prin
ciples which will guide Its work In the
future. In order to do this every man
and woman In tho territory of each
chapter must be asked to Join the Red
Cross, and this will require the serv
ices of hundreds of workers. The
Central Division wants nt least 4,000,
00O enrollments for 1920. Special
stress during the campaign will be
placed upon tho annual one-dollar
memberships In order to make tho roll
