RED CROSS CAMPAIGN WEEK !


Our country has been at war for
over two months, and needs the help
of every citizen. We must make prep
aration Immediately for what is COM
ing in the near future. The American
Red Cross is preparing to care for
our wounded soldiers, which means
the training of nurses, preparing sup
plies, medicines, ambulances and many
other things that will be necessary.
The American Red Cross estimates
that it needs $100,000,000 at once to
do this work. OF this amount Wiscon-
sin must raise S1,000,000. OF this
amount our state must furnish, the
share to be contributed by Marathon
county is $4,000.
A whirlwind campaign will be
waged in Marathon county this week
to raise this amount. During the
campaign week, which is from June
18th to June 25th, every one should
do their part to aid cause so worthy.
This is an opportunity for everybody
to do their bit in the present war,
and it is hoped, and we know positive
ly, that loyalty will not be lacking in
Marathon county. Be Booster, not
Stacker.
This task of raising $100,000,000 by
the American Red cross socitey is
stupendous one of establishing ana
equiping convalescent and base hos
pitfalls on foreign soil before our boys
are sent to the front. It's an under
taking Of extreme magnitude and
hardly able of comprehension. Each
hospital unit requires scores or pny-
sicians and surgeons nurses and hum
dreds of attendants and more than
score of these units will be estaD-
lished
Louis Marchetti, C. S. Gilbert, S. B.
Tobey. G. B. Heinemann and E. P.
German are on the local Red Cross
campaign committee.
This evening a dinner will be given
at the Episcopal guild hall to be fol-
lowed by a good, rousing meeting,
when plans for raising the required
amount and the organizing of teams
with captains will be completed, for
the purpose of canvassing for the ben
eft of the Red Cross relief fund. Pos
tai cards were received yesterday as
invitations to this affair, the attend
ance being limited owing to the size
of the guild hall. There will be no
charge for the dinner. G.. j. Winton
of Minneapolis, a former resident of
this city, is expected to be present at
the dinner. Mr. Winton is deeply in
terested in the Red Cross work.
Reports from other cities on the
Red Cross campaign are very encour-
aging, and it is possible the Red Cross
fund will result like the Liberty loan
over-subscribed.
Wausau ladies are doing great
deal for the Red Cross. They are
spending their afternoons at the Y. M.
c. A. making various necessary things.
The committee in charge desires more
help, and any woman having spare
time, may spend it we'll at the "Y."

REQ DEALERS HEAR
FROM FACTORY MEN
Managers Tell Them Skill and
Honesty Has Built Up
Business.

Although gears were on high and
the throttle wide open, there was no
skidding at the annual REQ automobile
banquet rendered at the Hotel Rome

per company and the A. H. Jones
company of Beatrice, general REQ dis

and northern Kansas, to dealers in the
territory. About IFS were present
at Pays to Hustle" was the idea
that J. c. Brandimore, district man.
ager of North Dakota and Montana,
left with the dealers. The best way to
sell cars, he said, was to be sales
man and not try to be manufacturer.
R. c. Rueschaw, general sales man.
ager, speaking on REQ Cars and the
Prospects Ahead" brought storm of
applause, when he said that there
would be no upward tilt in the prices
unless the cost of raw materials ad-
vanced much more than they have.
The REQ company, he said, was in
dependent of outside firms, manufac-
turing practically everything that
went in the cars except tires. By next
year, he predicted, that the company
would be able to even manufacture
its own tires. He characterized the
REQ car as the machine on a Gold
Standard Basis" one that has always
stood the test and one that always
would.
Z. lie Roy Peletier, advertising
manager, told the dealers that. they
were the great cog in the selling
machine as they were the point OF
contact between the purchaser and
manufacturer.
Years of persistent effort, he said,
in printing only the truth about REQ
cars, had resulted in the people be-
lieving and trusting what they saw
published about them.
The advertising manager told Of the
struggle of the company during its
early years. By persistent efforts and
honest dealing, he said, it had worked
its business up to second largest IN
the country.
Automobile talk was broken into
at the beginning of the banquet by the
singing of women's quartet and a

merits of four or six-cylinder auto.
