Patriotism in this city is increas-
ingly evident among the people and
everyone seems determined to do all
that duty requires to defend the coun-
try and its honor.
The time for holding the big Red
Cross rally in the high school audi
torium has been changed to tomorrow
night, as it was deemed better not
to attempt to wait until Monday night
when the boys may not be here This
action was determined on yesterday
afternoon at the meeting in the rooms
of the Twin Falls Commercial club at
which the Red Cross Auxiliary was
merged into the Twin Falls Chapter of
the Red Cross association. This meet
ing is the only public one arranged
for so far and will probably be the
last before Company ID will be called
to take its place in the Second Idaho
infantry.
The meeting will be two fold in
purpose 1t is intended to increase
the membership of the Red Cross as
socjation and to secure new members
for Company d. A number of short
speeches will be made, the list Of
speakers being Mayor E. M. Sweeley,
DR.. H. w. Wilson, Captain c. L. Long
ley, Mrs T. d. Irwin and Mrs. Ken
nedy Packard There will be an ap-
propriate musical program.
The meeting of the Red Cross yes
terday was largely attended and much
enthusiasm was manifested. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: DR.. H.
w. Wilson, president; Mrs. E. ]. Os-
trander, first vice president; Mrs. p.
w. McRoberts, second vice president ;
Mrs. Mary Hamlin, recording secre-
tary; Mrs. w. H. Dwight, correspond
ing secretary; ]. G. Bradley, treas
urer; Mrs. Kennedy Packard, Mrs. A.
]. Peavey, Mrs. John e. White, John
M. Maxwell and L. L. Breckenridge,
members of executive board to CO.
operate with officers; Mrs. c. H.
Krengel, chairman membership COM
mittee; Miss Jessie Warrington, chair
man committee on decorations; DR..
Emma c. Crossland chairman first
aid committee; Mrs. Bissett, head of
sewing department.
There is considerable misunder-
standing relative to the responsible
ties involved in membership in the
Red Cross association. A person may
become a member of the organization
by the payment of dollar a year. Be
yond that there are no imperative du-
ties. The membership in this asso-
citation in this country is below that
of most civilized countries and it is
felt that all should get in and help
to at least this extent at this time. All
a meeting of the Business Women S
society Tuesday night twenty-five new
members were secured, following a
talk on the work by Mrs. Krengel and
rousing address on "Americanism'
by Miss Margaret Roberts.
Another reason for a packed house
tomorrow night on the part of all citi-
zens and both sexes is the necessity
for crystalizing the sentiment in favor
of increasing the membership OF
Company d. There are many who are
concentrating joining who have not
yet made up their minds and the ex-
preston of the community in favor OF
enlistment will induce many to take
this step.
According to unofficial advices the
) Second Idaho will mobilize at Boise
within few days. The fact that Lieu
tenant ] w. Porter has been ordered
TO take charge of enlistments in the
| Pocatello district, instructing those
} whom he enlists to report at Boise
lends color to the report.
