An Appeal to the Patriotic Citiz-ns of
ElkO County.

No OOuhtSs
The ladies of Elko have organized
an auxiliary to the Red Cross So
ciety; also estabG-hed a fund to be
known rs the EIko County Sanitary
Commission. In order to join the
Red Cross Society. it is simply neces-
sary to pay the sum of s1.O0, which
entities You to membership for one
year. and Red Cross badge.
Should the war last longer than a
year. another dollar will be required
for membership. This money for
membership will be used for national
urp"ses.
The Sanitary Fund, which is for
the exclusive use Of the Elko county
b"ys, is made up of voluntary contri-
buttons by those who arr: interested
in the local work Of this society. Any
sum will he received, no matter how
small, and regardless of membership
in the Red Cross Society.
The Sanitary Fund, remains in
Elko, and is under the control of the
Executive Committee. To this fund
the people of ElKo have already con-
Iributed over $3.50 and it is hoped
that the patriotic citizens of the
county Outside OF the town of Elko
will more than double this amount.
TIE main purpose OF the Red Cross
Society is to relieve the suffering that
always follows in the train of war.
AS has already been stated, the OBJ
ject of the SAINT ~ Fund is local,
and the Nevada boys who go to the
PHILIPPINES, Cuba or Porto Rico will
be transferred from cool, dry and
healthful climate to fever swamp
1t is certain that the climate of these
tropical islands will be much more
deadly than the Spanish. 1t is more
than just that we who remain at
home should contribute out of ouI
abundance to add to their comfort
and to psOvide for them.
When one OF our Elko county boys
shall be wounded in battle, or strick-
en- by disease, we want them properly
cared for, and for this reason the
fund collected is to assure to ON
sick and wounded such comfort and
care as invalids should have.
The Executive Committee viii ap.
point committees for each town and
valley in the county to canvass for
membership to the Red Cross, and
for contributions to the Sanitary
fund. ......
We trust that the people will re.
spond generously to this noble cause.
Executive Committee of Elko County
Red Cross Society.
