"Washington.—Expenditures totalling $19,361,657 for carrying through its program of relief and services in tlw United States and overseas are out­lined in the budget of the American Red Cross for the current fiscal year. This total is more thah $5,000,000 low­er than the expenditure during the last fiscal year, when the disburse­ments reached $24,492,741, it is an­nounced at National Headquarters in a statement calling attention to the necessity of continued support of the organization by response to the An­nual Roll Call, November 11 to 24, if the vital work of the society is to be effectively carried on.

Outstanding among the items of the domestic budget is the appropriation of $3,669,256 for work in behalf of the disabled ex-ser^ce man and his family. This appropriation represents the amount alloted to this work from National Headquarters only and does not take into consideration the mil-

ons being spent in chapters for-re­ef the World War veteran. It

is~^fl't'he chapter that the greater amount is spent in meeting this obli­gation of the Red Cross, the announce­ment continues, as manifested by fig­ures of the fiscal year 1920-1921 when the total was approximately .$9,000,-000, of which $2,692,094 represented the disbursement of National Head­quarters while the remai^er was the chapters' contribution* to thlg "field of Red Cross service.

Vast Work for Disabled Chief among the sub-divisions of

• the appropriation for work with vet­erans is that which concerns itself with assistance to disabled men and women in ^government hospitals. This Item of ^1,790,000, an Increase of more thanJ05OO,OOO over the appropriation Xfi/^ne same work in last year's bud-

, x*£et, will provide those personal serv-'4m ' *ces *or disabled and their families $*%^which are indispensable to supplement

those provided by the government. The director of the Veterans' Bureau has recently expressed his desire that the Red Cross should continue and extend these "humanizing services." Other items of the appropriation for veterans7 relief are proportionately in­creased. An additional appropriation of $469,600 has been made for Red Cross work in connection with regu­lar Army and Navy hospitals and with the regular Army and Navy.

For disaster relief, the Red Cross has set aside for the current twelve months an appropriation of $543,976, virtually doubling the appropriation for the same purpose for the fiscal year 1920-1921.

More than $2,000,000 is provided tor service and assistance to the 3,600 Red Cross chapters by the national organization.

Helping Destitute Children Other items of the domestic budget

include $498,546 for miscellaneous ac­tivities, Including contributions" re­stricted for special purposes and $768,-600 for management. Each of these items represents large reductions over similar appropriations of the previous year. . , '

From a fund of $10,000,000, $5,000,-000 of which was contributed through the European Relief Council campaign and $5,000,000 allotted by the Red Cross for child welfare worft in Europe, there remains $8,765,108 still available, of which it is estimated that $6,000,000 will be required for this work during the current year. For Red Cross participation in the joint effort to relieve famine condi­tions in Russia, for final work In (the China famine, for Junior Red Cross

xand other overseas activities including the closing of the old general relief program in Europe $4,978,000 is made available.

In announcing the national budget, the Red Cross makes it clear that the figures do not include chapter ex­penditures or place any cash estimate on the invaluable service of volun­teers in chapters.

CARRYING ON SERVICE FOR DISABLED VETERANS OF THE WORLD WAR THAT IS COSTING $10,000,000 A YEAR, THE AMERICAN RED CROSS IS HELPING FULFILL THIS NATION'S OBLIGATION TO ITS DEFENDERS. HELP THE RED CROSS CONTINUE THIS WORK BY ANSWERING ^HE ANNUAL ROLL CALL ̂ NOVEMBER 11-24, 1921.

LOWER FREIGHT RATE FIGHT ON

Senate Begins Drive to Slash Agricultural Product Tariffs

25 Per Cent.

Much of Depression in Corn Belt Sec­tion is Laid to Excessive Freight

Charges—Iowa Corn Sold For Less than Cost, Says Kenyon.

HOVLAND GIRL WEDS

Washington—Western interests rep­resented in the Senate have started a determined fight to reduce railroad rates on agricultural products in con­nection with the railroad funding bill.

The so-called "agricultural bloc" has taken up the matter, and will hold a meeting to determine jvhat action shall be talcen. Although no decision has been reached, the general sentiment favors action in connection with the railroad funding bill which President Harding desires passed as promptly as possible.

Hinted in Resolution. A hint of what may be done is con­

tained in a resolution introduced ip the House by Representative Dowell, Iowa.

This resolution directs the Inter­state Commerce commission to cut rates on agricultural products, live stock and coal 25 per cent and it is anticipated that the resolution may be supported by the agricultural bloc in the Senate as a rider to the railroad bill, providing that the bill shall not become effective until the rates are re­duced.

It is realized that the "bloc" might form an alliance which would make it extremely embarrassing to administra­tion leaders, as a large element among the Democrats are planning to oppose the railroad bill irrespective of its re­lationship to reduced freight rates.

Rates Too High. Senators from agricultural states

IraVe been receiving additional reports; of distress in the corn belt section. Much of this depression is based on ex< cessive freight rates.

"Farmers in my state," said Senaton Kenyon of Iowa, "have been compelled to sell their corn for 25 cents a bushel when it cost them 50 cents to raise it.

"The total of defaulted notes in some parts of Iowa during the past few days has been enormous."

The meeting will discuss other measures of farmers' relief. The co­operative marketing bill and the bill to place representatives of agriculture on the Federal Reserve board will be among them.

The following ..item of interest to many Cook county people is taken from a Fond du Lac paper: Miss Hazel Adeline Harrelson, daughter of Mr. ;and Mrs. Elmer Harrelson of Hovland, Minn., and Ernest Hoeft of Burnett, were married at 2 o'clock Saturday at Waukegon, 111. The cere­mony Was performed by Rev. Wm. Hayer, pastor of the Lutheran church at Princeton.

The liride wore an attractive frock of i dark blue taffeta with a hat to match. She <wore a corsage bouquet of American beadty roses. The couple was unattended.

Mr. and Mrs. Hoeft left on a hon­eymoon trip to the southern part of the state rand will be at home after Oct. 11, cm Forest avenue, thisi city.

Mr. Hoeft is employed as a. brake-man on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. His bride is a niece of Mrs. Andrew Moquin of North Fond du Lac and has resided with them for the past year.

MAIL THEFT NETS $100,000

26 Pouches Brought From Canada Seized at Detroit.

"'Detroit, Mich.—Twenty-six mail pouches, three of which contained reg-isterd mail, were taken from a mail wagon by four men who held up the driver near the main postoffice. The mail was being brought here from Windsor, Ont. The registered pouches contained packages of currency con­signed by Canadian banks as exchange clearings to banks in Detroit, and the day's receipts at the Kenilworth race track at Windsor.

Postoffice officials engaged in checking their records with Canadian officials, said the value of the regis­tered mail probably would amount to more than $100,000.

BENTAL MUST SERVE TERM

16 MISSING AS SHIP SINKS V (— - '

Steamer Rammed Off Scotland Is Sunk By Craft Speeding to Rescue.

Belfastr-Damaged by one vessel, the American steamer West Camak, in a dense fog off the southwest coast of Scotland, and then sunk by another coming to its aid, was the fate of, the Laird line steamer Rowan, plying be­tween Glasgow and Dublin.

Thirteen of the Rowan's crew and three passengers are missing. Two passengers died after being rescued by vessels which responded to the wire­less S. O. S. call.

The, Rowan carried 93 persons, in­cluding the crew, 77 of whom are ac­counted for.

S^' Pauji—The first direct result in Minnesota of President Harding's un­employment conference is to be the early appropriation of more than $2,000,000 in federal aid for winter road work.

Charles M. Babcock, state highway commissioner, announced that the money probably will be available within 10 days, and that the state is in a position to apply an equal amount, or to mdet any federal aid which may be voted.

Babcock Sees Conferees. The statement was made on Mr.

Babcock's return from Washington, where he served on the Harding unem­ployment conference, winning its in­dorsement for the "more work-better roads'* proposal, and then with other representatives of the America Asso­ciation of State Highway Officials presented the plan and recommenda­tions to the Congressional conference committee on highway legislation.

John H. Mullen, assistant commis­sioner and chief engineer, who is sec­retary of the national association, was active in the movement at Washington and returned with Commissioner Bab­cock.

Many Jobs Provided. "The Minnesota highway depart­

ment probably will have available about October 15 more than $2,000,000 and perhaps as much as $2,840,000 of federal aid to be applied with a like amount of state funds on the 1921 highway development program," said Commissioner Babcock. "That will mean the continuance of state trunk highwatfer work on a large scale through the winter and much relief for the unemployed.

"Action at Washington means fur­ther that Minnesota will receive near­ly $5,000,000 and perhaps $5,680,000 of federal aid for 1921 and 1922, instead of merely $2,100,000 as recently pro­posed, unless present signs fail.

After President Harding's unemploy­ment council endorsed the "more work-better, roads" plan as presented by Commissioner Babcock, its commit­tee, with those of the national organ­ization of highway officials, took it up with the Senate and House conferees on highway legislation and urged the increased appropriation. Commis­sioner Babcock remained in Washing­ton until assured that prompt and favorable action will be ta"ken. He said it was expected that a new highway aid b'ill is to be introduced early this week to make $75,000,000 available im­mediately upon enactment, or about October 15, and providing a sum not less than $175,000,000, and perhaps as great as $300,00^,000 for the biennium.

Many Contracts Possible. "This appropriation will enable the

State department to let many con­tracts late this month and carry on much other road work this winter. Until definite action is taken, however, it will be difficult to give any estimate on proposed work, but the department will push plans and attempt to be in
