RED GROSS HOME
SERVICE WORK
Office of Cass County Chapter in
This City Performs Much Work
in Handling Problems.
The Cass county chapter of the
Red Cross at their meeting recently
held in Weeping Water, decided to
continue the office of the home ser
vice department and retained in this
office Mrs. Frank H. Dunbar, who
has done such excellent work both
during the war period and since the
close of hostilities.
The home service department is
the branch of the Red Cross work
that comes closest to the people of
the community at all times as the
office of the secretary is maintained
for the purpose of handling such
matters in relief work as may be
brought there and this is particu
larly true as to matters pertaining
to the former service men who have
found that their settlements of disa
bility, compensation, vocational train
ing and amounts due them from the
government are secured quickly and
satisfactorily through the aid of the
Red Cross organization.
This department is also co-operating
with the visiting nurses in hand
ling the questions of public health
in the schools and in the communi
ties where needed and in Cass coun
ty Mrs. Dunbar is to co-operate with
the nurse who is to visit the schools
in the country districts and get in
touch with the health of the child
ren through the teachers and local
physicians and handle what matters
may come within her sphere of
action.
All those who have cases that fall
within the province of the Home
Service department should avail
themselves of the services of the sec
retary and the office here has been
reopened at the home of Mrs. Dun
bar and by calling phone 639 she
will be glad to assist in any way in
securing satisfactory aid for service
men or those whose cases may come
within her jurisdiction. Make use
of the opportunity the Red Cross has
provided and you will find prompt
relief.

load of corn. The horses were
drawn over the bank by the heavy
load and were severely bruised. Mr.

LOOKING OVER ROAD WORK
From Friday's Dally.
This morning the county commis

Cole were out in the vicinity of
Cedar Creek, looking over the matter
of having a ditch constructed to
straighten out the creek near, the
farm of William Schneider and which
will do away with the necessity of
making a large fill at that point.

Serious Results from Colds
Colds not only cause a tremendous
financial loss but are also a serious
injury to every one whp contracts
them as they lower the vitality and
prepare the system for the more ser
ious diseases. It is not at all un
usual for people who have 6erious
