Therels to be a meeting of the
property owners, business men,
planters, farmers and eitizens of
Concordia parish at the Court
Fmose in Vidalia on Friday,
November 7th, at 10:00 a. m.
Th'e big object of this meeting
will be to form a parish organiza
tion and through this organiza
tion to advance every progressive
enterprise of the parish. We
need a better understanding
about our labor and labor con
tracts and if there is a shortage
of labor an organized effort
should be made to supply it.
Much of the parish this year has
suffered from lack of drainage
and if this condition is ever to
be greatly improved, it must be
done through an organized effort.
We want to kick and keep kick
ing until we kick every scrub
bull out of Concordia parish. A
Parish Fair will be a 'great
stimulant to the live-stock in
dustry and improved farm pro
ducts among our planters and
farmers and if exhibited at the
State Fair, will be a great ad
vertisement to the parish. Con
tagious diseases among the live
stock of the parish can practi
Cally be controlled if we have'
the camplete cooperation of the
farmers and planters.
There are many other things
that could be mentioned: such as,
cooperative buying and selling,
standardization of live-stock,
staple farm crops, building of
potato drying kilns, roads,
schools, etc.
We of Conardia Parish have
taken the lead among our .neigh
boring parishes in road construe
tion and we will put forth the
same united effort to bring
abo.it better conditions, more
prosperity for ourselves and
neighbsm, we can soon have
one of the leading parishes of
the Stats.

Do you belong to the Disaster Re
lif Committee in your town?
If you do, or if you are appointed,
it means that you are considered
brave, considerate, even-tempered
and strong. To be appointed to this
committee is one of the highest
honors that the American Red Cross
can bestow upon y6u; for the Die
aster Relief Committee, recently ex
plained by Harty L. Hopkins, director
of Civilian Relief, Gulf Division,
American Red Cross, is the great
body of straight-thinking, quick-act.
ing, dependable persons, organized in
each community to meet disasters
which arise, be they flood, fire, fam
ine. explosion, shipwreck, or earth
quake.
In the thirty-eight years since the
American Red Cross was first or
ganised in 1881, it has participated
in 180 dIsaster relief expeditions at
home and abroad and has expended
or directed the expenditure of twelve
and a half million dollars. This cov
ers the period up to June 1st, 1919,
the end of the fiscal year.
America averages a dozen disa
te a year. Latest statistics com
piled by the Gulf Division, Amerioan
Red Cross, show twelve disasters, and
the Red Cross gave relief in every
onel
In this immediate territory there
were grave disasters in recent years
-the Gulf States storm in 1906, the
Mississippi cyelone in 1907, the Mis
sliippi flood in 191! and the second
flood in 1914. There was another
flood at Natches in 1916, sad more
floods and the boll weevil menace in
Alabama in 1917. In fact. 1917 was
a bad year for disaster. in the South,
for during the summer the tornadoes
at Village Splugs and Carbon Hill

Red Cross Specialist Studying Uf
Southern Rural District i
of
"What will you do if we have an
ether epidemie of the flu?"
This is the question that is being
answered daily by Dr. EL.L Morgan,
. national director of the Red Cross
Bureau of Organisation, in the Gulf
Division. From community to com
munity, Dr. Morgan is visiting and
studying in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama. His latest address was
before the Home Service Institute at
SVicksburg, Mississippi, where he said
d that the question of preparation for
d epidemics is of paramount impor
tance.
"If a district is found unhealthy
and if typhoid is raging because of
impure water," said Dr. Morgan,
• "treat the case as though you were
" acting for a family. Consult the
, public health officials, and the sani
tary and legal forces, and get the
" community back of you to carry out Cc
the neeossary reforms."
Dr. Morgan's tour is principally in a
the interests of the rural community
-the community which is getting A
such a lade share of attention in
6 the Red Cross Peace Time Program.
r The Home Service sections of the
d Red Cross are to have a great art
t in this work and it is expected that
d public health will be improved to a
great extent through their co-opera
tion with Red Cross public health
' nurses.
, "Look round your own town,"
Dr. Morgan told the Red Cross work
era, "and see if it is orderly and
clean, or if it is dirty and unsani
tary. If the death rate is too high.
a there is a reason--nd you must
d find out that reason. All of the
people are stockholders in the com
Smunity, and their stock improves or
depreeiates accordifig to the condi
t tion in which their property as kept,
s and the property improves in propor
tion with the person who owns it.
"The Red Cross has a two-fold Job
in this respect," Dr. Morgan contin
d aed. "We must carry on the work
a the individual chapter has decided
Supon, such as employing health -
res, gIisqng better schools, and
