RED CROSS APPEAL.

The Red Cross is making a campaign to in
crease its membership in the United States to
Million roughly one person out OF every hun
dred and ten in population. The aim is high
the cost is low One may become a member for
as little as a dollar: the highest rate is 500,
which makes the contributor life patron
The subscriber of either sum gets more than
his reward in the reflex effect upon his person
alitv He becomes co-operator IN great
cause of mercy and good will He takes unto
himself some individual allotment of the burden
of war or other calamity. He is enlisted IN the
great cause of preparedness on It's humane side.
So far as the present drive for members Is
concerned there is no reference to or concern IN
the European war The effort is to gain re-
cr1lits for purely American reasons, to increase
efficiency and awaken interest In Red Cross
service and organization for service to meet
the potential needs of the United States. Meth
er is the chief aim the collection of money. In
the hour Of need the Red Cross can always feel
sure of abundant financial support. The true
reason is an aspiration for countrywide sym
pathv with the purposes of the Red Cross sys-
TEN and moral and personal support for and
engagement in its activities. 1t is the man or
woman that is wanted more than the dollar
though the latter can always be put to superla-
lively good use.
OF all organizations the Red Cross stands at
the head It would be trte to dwell upon the
lives it has saved, the pain it has aleviated, the
mutilation it has obviated, the mental anguish
it has melted into hope and cheer. In a high
sense. It's real work has been the spreading
among all the people Of belligerent nations and
neutrals too of realizing sense of what war
is. 1t has brought home the actualities of com

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
JUNE e..

JUNE.
While May went skipping DER the hills
June followed shyly in her train,
But lotered in the fragrant ways
To weave herself daisy chain.
She made border for her gown,
She fashioned girGle for her waist,
She sought flower for her hair,
And snilingly her steps retraced.
For while she wove her daisy chain
Came Cupid through the sunny ways,
And there beside the fragrant rose
He looked at her with ardent gaze.
He breathed upon the wild rose sweet,
1t blushed to find itself so fair,
And Cupid caught it from its stem
And bound it in June's sunny hair
And always when June walks abroad
With daisy chain about her knees,
The perfume Of the rose of love
Is waited on the summer breeze.
