Red Cross Notes
By MRS. LON DICKEY
Float Your Service Flag

Business houses are urged to
swing out their service flags for
the Red Cross Christmas drive
beginning December 18th and
lasting until midnight of the "a.
The small paper flag furnished
members at headquarters may be
used as a pattern for a cloth Ser
vice flag of similar design, a large
cross for members of firm and a
small one for each employee.
1t is regretted by all members
of the Red Cross that we were un-
able to come in earlier on the sur
gical dressings work. Owing to
the special shipment of 100000
to be rushed to France by Dec.
18th, material became scarce, and
It was owing to this development
that the authorized instructor,
Miss Ruth Harris, did not arrive
earlier. Material has at last been
secured by the DELLA Chapter,
Mrs. ] T. Howell, vice chairman,
and Miss Harris will divide her
eight days between these two
chapters, Fitzgerald mornings,
and DELLA in the afternoons.
All are urged to hold them
selves in readiness to take up this
work, as. the next shipment order
ed might be Americas, and be-
cause many of the chapters are
unable to help Atlanta women
suffer from overwork. The Allan
ia Georgian today bears an appeal
to its womanhood to relieve the
regular workers who are worn
out from the daily grind, in its eff
forts to supply their quota for this
special shipment.

buy them on the partial-payment
plan-and you can save enough
every week OUT OF WASTE to pay
for them. The nation needs your
aid. You must do your share IL
you would have the full protection Of
the nation for yourself.
And you must buy bonds because,
II you DON'T, you may very possibly
not be able to buy FOOD. II Russia
should make peace with Germany, q
million and a half German prisoners
there would be released. and these,
with the German armies now en-
ployed against Russia. would be
hurled at France and England. II

Loan is not taken by the people, it

And If it il taken by the banks, how
CAN they use that money to make
the loans to merchants, manufactur-

ness going?
What happened to you in the ponic

You must have money to BUY

what then?
Business 's good to-day. A great
prosperity is with US. ON TOP Of
this prosperity. ON TOP of present
good business, the staggering sum Of
$2.oo0.000.000 will be spent in this
country for all sorts Of supplies. and
spent very quickly. and you will see
business jump forward as you have
never seen it Jump before. You will
see a national prosperity beyond any |
thing you have ever seen. and the
banks will have plenty Of money, to
