LIONEL BARRYMORE

American soldier and sailor who has been called to the defense of our common country.
 For the most of our boys this will be the first Christmas away from home. And we cannot, we must not. close our hearts and our minds against the sad thought that for many of these boys it may be the last Christmas.
 National headquarters have called upon each of the thirteen divisions to provide a certain number of these Christmas packages for our men. The allotments have been carefully if gured out and this number is con sidered no more than our fair share. In subdividing this allotment among our various chapters the same care full process of figuring has been fol lowed by Division headquarters. No chapter no part of the division, has been asked for more than may be reasonably expected.
 "Ths division has record for prompt and full compliance with ev- cry order and request from National headquarters. It is a record that we must maintain. But up to the present time we are far behind in this Christmas work These Christ mas packages are to go to all our men, soldiers, sailors. marines, or in whatever branch of military ser vice, both at home and abroad Pack ages for abroad must be sent ear Hest, but every one of the boys on luty in this country must be remem- bered
 "The best and quickest way is for each chapter to immediately put a special committee on this work, to in duce the people within it's jurisdic- ton to give cash contributions and let the Red Cross make up the right kind of packages. to consist of the
 hings most useful and necessary to the men. These packages can be assembled at cost of $1 each. If the chapters should find themselves 'ushed or overloaded with this work, | lHCy SnOulu lOI thO iuOhSy thSy receive direct to this Division head quarters, together with their own Christmas cards of greetings, and he packages will be promptly made ID and forwarded. with proper cred t. to the Chapter from which the money is received.
 By immediate and unremitting effort the Northwestern Division can make up it's allotment in time. We must not fail to do our part. You are earnestly urged to at once put into this work all the patriotic and sympathetic force of which your chapter and it's auxiliaries are capa ble Interest the newspapers, appeal to the people, and do everything within your power to the end that not one of our boys. no matter where he may be. shall be saddened at Christmas by the thought that he has been forgotten.

Our present alarm system is practic.

that the new siren alarm is here and

some good reason to the contrary, II
would be good idea to proceed with
the installation. Through organiza

appreciable reduction in the insurance

should not do the same thing.
