A Good Way to Support the Red
oIOSS.
Sioux Falls. Dec. s

Sioux Falls, Dec. ), 1871 Z.
Editor Reporter: | have read quite
a few articles in your paper and have
heard different lectures on How to
Aid the Red Cross SO | thought |
would write you my opinion of what
/ think would be the best and quick.
est way to give permanent aid to this
noble cause The man that lectured
at the NJ E. church on Nov 25th ,
lot of us people where we live. He
said a great MANY people would buy
a meal and purchase something for
dollar or two and feel that they
were real supporters of the Red
Cross. l, myself. have given few
dollars in this way and l really had
ii in my mind that was real Red
Cross supporter. | think it is sure
time now to get real busy and do
something worth While. OF course
you all read what A. b. lTurkey
owens had to say about us in his
little piece of poetry last week. Here
is my idea of the best way to help
the Red Cross, get 800 or more men
to give one dollar a month for the
duration Of the war, payable twice q
wear, six months in advance. This
would give this society $4,000 for
immediate use. 1t always taxes some
one to start a good thing so please
find enclosed my check for So.
feel sure that 500 subscribers can be
secured in few hours work.
Respectfully yours,
