PAGE EIGHT MANY RELIEF CASES HANDLED BY RED CROSS Tragedies Are Prevented By Timely Action of Welfare Worker COPE OF WORK Thirty relief cases in the city of Bismarck, six health cases in the county, and 86 soldier cases, forty- two of which have been closed but may open again are being handled at the local Red Cross offices by the social worker. A number of relief cases which have required city aid from a cou- ple of months to a year or .more have been disposed of by Miss Mary Cashel, social worker, in the three months in which she has had charge of the local office. In one instance x mother and four children who had been kept at city expense for a year and a half to the extent of about $37.50 monthly in addition to fuel und some extra expense in the winter have been reunited with the father of the family as a result of several months of correspondence ‘and arrangements of Miss Cashel and the social worker in the Iowa city in which the father was resid- ing. This family was transported to Minneapolis, Minn., on passes over the Northern Pacific as a result of the efforts of W. A. McDonald, agent, in response to Miss Cashel’s request for charity rates over the railroad. The Minneapolis social worker’ took charge of the family when they arrived in the Twin Cit- ies and the Iowa worker arranged in lier city for the arrival of the wife and children. Another family, a wife and nine children, who had been receiving city aid during the winter and the spring were put in touch with rela- tives in Minneapolis, Minn., recent- ly; and still another old couple who have been costing the city $50 a month for a considerable period of time have been connected up with relatives who plan to undertake the keeping of the couple. This means a saving of $50 monthly on this family alone. A short time ago when an old lady had suddenly been left without any competence, the social worker investigated the situation and in- stead of urging the city to keep the woman, she arranged with a daugh- ter of the woman in the east to take her into her home. Not alone does the social worker connect people up with their rela- been made by Miss Cashel, and then and does everything possible to re- establish the family and home life. A young mother and two children who had been deserted by the fath- er of the family three months ago ' have been made self-supporting by the finding of employment in a larger city for the mother. In each instance which has been mentioned a thorough survey has becn made by Miss Cashel, and then some kind of plan made to do for people the best thing possible under the circumstances. In many in- stances it is advisable to give old people or cripples, or mothers as- sistance, but those who are able bodied are not allowed to draw from the city support while they do nothing. It is only, however, after careful and intelligent investigation that one can definitely arriveat a conclusion of what is best for the family or individual concerned. In- discriminate giving is discontinued. Much of the work passing through the Red Cross office is that of sol- diers of the World War. Many have sustained disabilities while in the army or their disabilities have in- creased or deveioped since their dis- charge from service for which they would be unable to obtain assistance if it were not for the assistance giv- en them by the social worker who has made a study of soldier cases and laws pertaining to them. Many cases has been brought to success- ful conclusion through the assist- ance and cooperation given the men at the Red Cross office. The cases which are being handl- ed by Miss Cashel for the county pertain to a great extent to health problems and the obtaining of med- ical attention for, the individuals. In addition ‘to the many relief cases and soldier cases which con- stantly confront the social worker, for she no sooner concludes one that others ‘arise, is the problem of delinquency. An unusually large number of these pass through the office. Bismarck has shown its pro- gressive spirit in the matter of the social problems arising in the city by engaging a specially trained worker to meet these problems and handle them with practical ef: ciency, instead of following the old method of every organization and many individuals, the city and the county all giving and duplicating or counteracting the work of the oth Ground Gripper Shoes are stylish, comfortable.

Mikulec has wandered over 200,000 miles seeking “The Biggest Thing in Life.” And after 21 years of globe-trot- ting and autograph collecting, he isn’t sure but what he might have found the object of his search right at home in Croatia. “I have visited kings and queens, presidents, governors and notables in all lands. I have seen every coun- try and every city; have traveled when and where I pleased—but I have missed the biggest thing in life,” he says sadly. he biggest thing? Companion- —real companionship. “I meet scores of people every day. But they aren't interested in me and I can’t get the opportunity to become interested in them. They want to know of my travels, and I've got to tell it all over again. Lonliness Constant “When the day is done, I haven't anyone I can sit down and talk with as one friend»talks with another. And that is fre biggest thing in life.” Everyone knows Mikulec. dent Harding has met him. So has Woodrow Wilson, the Prince of Wales, J. P. Morgan, the late Teddy Presi- Roosevelt and hundreds of others of equal note. Twenty-one years ago—he’s 45 now-—Joe left his home in Croatia, a province of Hungary. He’s been walking ever since, through a score of nations and every state in the United States. New he wants a little farm some- where in his adopted country. He sees a wheat field, of maybe rows of corn and tomatoes and plows and horses and chickens — and neigh- bors. Book Weighs 57 Pounds Joe’s autograph book weighs 57 pounds now. Names. that would amaze you are written in it. Just about every world character except John D. Rockefeller and the king of England. He uses a little wagon to carry the book, it is so heavy. For many years, however, he carried it, but it wasn’t that big then. He in- creases it as it fills. Joe wants to see his book finally placed in a museum or library. He hopes someone will buy it for that purpose. ‘Price? He won't say, but he does add that what it brings will buy the farm and have plenty left over to tide him through the remainder of this life with friends. FARMERS PLAN LABOR GUT IN HARVESTING REPORTS SHOW: Farmers of North Dakota will get along with as little additional har- vest labor as possible this year, ac- cording to statements made in nu- merous reports received by J. A. Kitchen, Commissioner of Agricul- ture and Labor, in charge of state employment work, Expressing belief that the need of harvest laborers would be cut to » minimum by ‘this attitude upon the part of farmers, Mr. Kitchen made public reports received by, the sta- tistical division of his office giving estimates of the condition of crops as of July 10 and the labor needs: In several instances persons report- ing to the office said that the amount of labor used would depend in part upon the scale of wages, and that farmers were determined not to pay County.

The funcral of Mrs. Dillage and-her father held Wednesday, was attended by the largest concourse of mourners ever assembled in this section of the state, and included a great throng of close friends and aquaintances in ad- dition to hundreds of morbidly curi- ous attracted by the tragic aspects of the double funeral. Services were conducted at the farm home, saddened by the misfor- tunes which have befallen the family, and by the absence of the two child- ren who are recuperating at a Ken- mare hospital. A funeral sermon was deliyered in the Congregational church in the village and the long procession of nearly 200 cars then wended its way to the burial ground at Flaxton where interment took place. The $40,000 bail which was demand- ed by the kings court was met by the payment of $20,000 by Dillage and sureties of $10,00 each by bondsmen Albert C. Rogers of Estevan and M. J.
