Chapter Launched in
Fargo on Wednesday

Fargo is to have an active chapter
of the American Red Cross association,
whose headquarters are at Washing
ton, ID. c. The patriotic interest here
in the work Of this great organization
was made apparent by the large at
tendance at the preliminary meeting,

II. A. Beard, who IL leader in the or
ganization work in this state. Consid-
erably over 100 women and several
an even 1O2 have already signed the
membership application blanks. Many

scrihing membership. 81 annually; con-
tribating membership, IS annually;
sustaining membership, $40 annually;
life membership, one payment OF $25;
of 500. OF the 1O2 who signed
here Wednesday, ten were. in the IS

sixty-nine in the 81 class. H..
DIR. Beard explained that part of the
payments go into the endowment fund
for training nurses and keeping the
machinery of the Red Cross organiza-
tion in order generally. AS to the OBJ
ject OF having local chapter, which
was decided upon yesterday there are
certain services which one can render
by having such a chapter, to take up
work providing opportunities for
young men and women who want to
prepare themselves to do something
for their country. For instance, the
information service on the battlefield
is one of the most important rendered,
cited DR.. Beard. 1t is proposed to or

Two First Aid to the Injured
Classes Already Formed Here

Even before organization of a local
chapter of the American Red Cross as
ISOLATION is completed here, two first
aid to the injured" classes have been
formed in this city, although neither
has as yet begun actual work, await
ing supplies and instructions from the
headquarters of the American Red
Cross association, Washington, d. G.
Both of these classes will work in con-
junction with the chapter that Fargo
ans are to support, and will probably
be two of many such classes, as more
efficient work can be done along i'm
structive lines by dividing into com
paratively small groups.
Miss Dorothy Hanna is secretary
and treasurer Of one of these two
classes which already has a member
ship Of thirteen well known young La
dies Of this city. This number will be
augmented by several additional names
before the class actually starts work,
1t is thought. 1t is hoped that the
supplies will be received from Wash
ington by the first or the middle OF
next week. The class will be given 3
course of ten lessons Of an hour and q
half each, with DR.. @. N. Callander as
its instructor, and plans TO meet two
