What Is Being Done.

TT TO 1C8FS D0"~s
r seems as IL the task of telling
people what the Red Cross really
does is an endless one.
Yesterday, a woman asked: "Oh,
does the Red Cross do things for peo.
pie in this country?-people who are
not in the army?"
And another woman asked: eff l
donate this dollar. can o assure
me that 1t will go direct to help a
soldier In FTance?' This was the
reply she received: Certainly /

If this town burned tonight and most
of the people here were left without

help carry on relief work right at

ing their heads off. They want to
report on Christmas eve: "Unani.

Why can't Keokuk have 10000
members? Here's what A. E. Keep
ford. state director, says:
The Christmas membership cam
paign moves forward with great
force. Iowa will wake UP the day
after Christmas to find herself a
million member state. We want to
put at least a million members of the
Red Cross behind Iowa soldiers"
What You Are Helping.
Here are some Of the reasons why
you should get into this great Red
Cross game, and help back up the
boys over there. help with humanity's
fight:
If you were an American soldier
fighting on the fields of France, for
the principles for which America has
always fought, you would want h
folks back home to remember you in
real deeds. not mere talk. wouldn't
you? Deeds that would help you win
the fight?
II you were anywhere in the whole
wide world, and were helpless or
hungry or homeless, suffering or in
you would want the great,
rich generous American people to
express to you the spirit and sub
stance of brotherly love. wouldn't
you?
Then make the most Of opportunity
by working Just as hard as you can
to secure new Red Cross members
this week. Remember you are not
peddling some cheap commodity,
you are offering a privilege. 1t is a
real privilege to be permitted to join
this great organization and take a
part in the magnificent WORK
the Red Cross is doing wherever
there is suffering and sorrow and
need for help in the world
The American Red Cross Is giving
aid to "a 1000 French and 5000 Bel
gian children today. Five hundred
attention at Evian, the point where
o~utcasts back into France. IF
the Red Cross did nothing else but
heal and comfort these babies, 1t
would be worth while. Every dollar
helps.
Let's justify Henry P. Dawson,
chairman of the Red Cross war coun-
Gil, in his belief that we can get TO-
600 900 members just as easily as
Is, 900, 600. Il was a minority of
one," says Mr.. Dawson. when we
met to plan this campaign, l wanted
to ask for 20, 600 900, but the others
thought We had better be contented
with $1,000, 900. l still belieYe well
get the 20. 900. 900"

Monmouth, Oct. 2.-The attendance
at normal is small this year as was ex.
pected The first week closed with an
enrolment of only 291. This is de-
crease of about so over the first weeks
enrolment last year. The unusual CON
ditions which prevail and the fact that
the freshmen and sophomore classes
have been discontinued are responsible
for the decrease. Monday was given
over to registration and to the making
out of courses for the students.
The annual faculty reception given
in honor of the students of;the normal
school and the citizens of Monmouth,
Independence and the rural school CEN
ters' was given on Saturday night in
the training school building. These oc-
casions have always been very delight
full ones, the kind one looks forward to
and remembers with pleasure; this one
Saturday night was no exception. The
rooms were beautifully decorated with
autumn leaves, which with the pretty
new gowns and the bright happy fac
es made lovely picture.
President Ackerman gave an address
of welcome to the new students of the
Oregon normal school, the citizens of
Monmouth, Independence and rural
school centers. Prof. Ide, who is Prof.
Evenden S successor, gave the response
Prof. Street of Portland entertained
very delightfully."- with several numbers
in classical song, accompanied by Miss
Mary Hohan. Miss Philbrook, assistant
music teacher, rendered several violin
solos in very pleasing manner. Dain-
ty refreshments of ice cream and lady
fingers were served.
