GOVERNOR CORNWELL
CALLS ON. CHURCHES

Next Sunday, June 24rh. closes
week set apart by the President Of
the United States in a proclamation rs
Red Cross week, during which lime
the people of the United States were
asked 10 contribute one hundred mil
lion dollars to carry the Red Cross
work to Europe with our army and
navy. Five hundred thousand dollars,
West Firginia's allotment, must be
raised. Energetic men and women are
giving up their time, AS we'll as their
money, to this noble work. AS a fit
ting climax to the weeks effort hope
that each minister in the state will
take a collection in his church on that
day for the purpose Of contributing 10
the Red Cross fund, and that a special
appeal will be made in all the church
es to that end. Each dollar donated
will mean the saving of drop Of
American blood and maybe an Ameri.

to contribute something to this cause
