ENLIST FOR THE WAR.

Not everybody can go to the
front in France to fight for his
country. Everybody unable TO
serve in the army. however. can
enlist in the Red Cross. There
is important war work for all the
men and women of Jackson
county. and for youths under or
over military age, right at home.
No age limit bars enlistment in
the Red Cross. II is the great
organized force through which
every one not on the firing line
may play his part in the war for
Liberty.
The chance to become a re-
cruit in the greatest army ever
modified to relieve human suf-
fering, as well as to tighten the
burdens and enhance the strength
of the fighting men, is presented
to all by the Red Cross Christ
mas Membership Campaign.
During the present week it is
planned to add 10000, 900 names
to the Red Cross tolls. Eigty
thousand recruiting booths will
be open throughout the United
States to receive enlistments. 1t
is planned to make membership
in the Red Cross almost as uni
yersal as citizenship. To that
end it is proposed that the way
shall be made so open that no
one can remain an outsider
through lack Of proper invitation.
Here is an opportunity to show
the 1917 Christmas spirit. as
we'll as to get into the war work
that summons all patriotic Amer
leans. President Wilson in apt
phrase, has proclaimed that
Red Cross membership is the
Christmas spirit in terms Of act
ion." Let the men and women
of America make that sentiment
ring like a cathedrrl chime
throughout the land on Chrirt.
mas morn.
While in Gainesboro this week
call at QuarlC3 & Sadlers, Nc
Dearman Stafford Co.. or Bank
and enroll your name as a MEM
Der of this great organization
for war relief. One dollar max
es you a member for one year.
If you desire to give more to the
relief of the soldiers. it will be
greatly appreciated. Remember
1T is more blessed to give than
to receive. ]"
