The Journal has been requested to
publish the following, taken from
The Times Union, in order to Sow
the need Of Red Cross supplies:
The local Red Cross organization Of
which w. E. GUNNER is president,
and DR.. Carroll Frink is secretary, in
response to an appeal from the nat
ionaI organization, has formed a local
European war relief committee, which
is planning an active campaign for
hospital and surgical supplies. Mrs.
Frazer Knight, the chairman of this
committee, called together Friday af-
ternoon a number of prominent
women who are identified with the
philapthropic work of the city, and
perfected the organization of an ex-
ecutive relief committee. This COM
mittee is planning to form a larger
committee composed Of representa-
tives of every religious, philanthro-
pic and civic organization in the city
in order that the interest in this UNI
dertalcing may be widespread and the
results be proportionately large.
It is requested and expected that
every organization solicited will send
representative to the Woman's club
house Friday afternoon, July 9th, at
o'clock to discuss the best method of
collecting supplies. It is desired that
everp citizen Of Jacksonville be given
an opportunity to contribute in some
way to this vital need. Hospital sup
plies, surgical dressings, old linen
pajamas, night shirts, underwear
socks, slippers, absorbent gauze, OF
money viii be gladly accepted. The
most modest contribution will be gra.
ciously received. The following
printed slip is being sent out by the
National Red Cross.

they did not have the internal continuity Of

LITERARY NOTE

In 1876 Roberts rules of order was published in the belief that such a book was needed to aid in organizing and conducting meetings, defining the duties of officers, and the meth ods of dealing with motions in great detail The book steadily increased in sale, and during the thirty-n mine years since it Was published a half million copies have been sold. There
 has come from all sections of the country to the author of the book an earnest demand for a revision and enlargement of the Manual. The present book published under the title of Roberts rules of order re vised, is just now issued to meet this demand.
 Every form of organization, from the school debating society in the country to the state or national legis- lature. has founG Roberts rules q helpful handbook. This new. enlarged edition will, therefore be welcomed everywhere.
