Moorhead Department
RED CROSS
CAMPAIGN
UNDER WAY

The membership campaign by the
Moorhead chapter of the Red Cross
was begun today with a house to houe
canvas Of the entire city. Each ward
organization has its work planned and
every home will be visited by a men,
Der OF the committee either today or
tomorrow. Those who are soliciting
members are provided with tage and
each solicitor will wear an arm band.
This morning a big Red Cross ban
ner was hung between the First Ma
tional bank and the Harris Brothers
building. Placards advertising the
Red Cross have been prepared by the
members Of the auxiliary at the nor
NAL school and will be placed in the
store windows today.
Following is the appeal issued by
the committee:
Friday and Saturday of this week
a committee from the Red Cross chap
ter. recently organized in Moorhead.
will visit all of the homes and business
places of Moorhead to urge the people
to join the Red Cross chapter. The
United States is as poorly prepared in
this respect as it is in many other
respects. The National Red Cross So
ciety is appealing to the nation for
funds. Compared with other nations
our people have made a very poor
showing in both membership and con-
tributions to the Red Cross cause. A
nation wide campaign is now being
carried on to give our country the or
ganization and the funds needed for
this work. BY joining the Red Cross
you place yourself under no obligation
for service other than purely volun
tary. You simply become a member
of a great worldwide organization
seeking to alleviate STEERING and desti-
tuition. No organization exists which
wastes less, or succeeds in reaching
the desired end with larger per cent
of it's receipts. You may rest assured
that the money you give to this cause
is placed in good hands and will be
used for the purpose fro which it is
given. The committee for the Red
Cross chapter composed of your neigh
bors and friends is working to secure
for Moorhead a membership which will
be a credit to our city and which will
shouw our patriotism. We ask that
you give each member Of this commit
tee cordial reception, and make their
work as pleasant as possible.

North Dakota experiment station who.
associated with DR.. e. f. Ladd, presi-
dent of the college, is directing the
statewide campaign that is being made
for greater production Of foodstuffs. !.
"The conference held in Fargo last
Sunday has served its purpose well,
said Mr.. Cooper today. "One OF the es-
sential objects of that meeting was to
awaken the banking interests of the
whole state to their responsibility in
meeting the national condition, and
feel confident, from letters received by
myself from various sections Of the
state, that they fully appreciate and
are ready to do their share in the
handling of the general proposition.
Among the farmers, there is the
same splendid response to the nation S
plea. They show a lively interest in the
situation and are responding to the
call for greater food production in a
manner that assures us that the ma
tional problem has appealed to their
patriotism and loyalty.
Towns and Villages Aid.
CAS- for the towns and villages, we
find very general response. The sta
ton is daily receiving calls for aid in
the formation of clubs. and we are
bending every energy to the end that
every town and village in the state
shall be in position to give every pos
sible support to the foodstuffs produce
ton campaign.
Gardening operations, the raising
OF poultry, are two features in which
town and village people may take spe-
cial steps to aid the nation. and we are
assisting, so far as possible. in any or
ganization that will carry on the work
in the different localities.

the national board of the Presbyterian
church, Offering the use of the whole
church organization Of ministers in
carrying on the movement.
Commercial clubs, women's organi.
cations, and, in fact. civic bodies of all
kinds, are responding splendidly to the
appeal, and the outlook is most favor
able for a genuine awakening of the
people of our state to their respon-
sibility.
Il also have a letter from Don ".

Palestine is the original home Of the
Jew.
1.-THE overthrow of the old govern
ment in Russia will little affect the
position of the Jew in that country.
They are better off under Turkish
rule in Palestine, under which they
