Red Cross

1.-THE appeal of the President
for one hundred million dollars
for the Red Cross by individual
gifts emphasizes the personal
and. human element of the Red
Cross. No one country can
claim the Society's activity as
its own. That is why, rightly,
the support of the Red Cross
should be personal rather than
National"
The Red Cross was born on
the field of Solferino June u,
1889 and an international relief
society was created in Geneva,
Switzerland, in 1864, and 18 years
later the United States, thru the
efforts of Clara Barton, entered
into the international agreement.
The Red Cross work is under
the supervision of a com mlttee
composed of men and women
from different Nations. The
Red Cross workers know no
nationality when on the field of
battle, but render assistance and
aid to the wounded and sick of
all nationalities without any par
tiality or distinction.
Inasmuch as the Red Cross
work is of this nature, the organ
ization must be distinct and not
under the government of any
Nation, hence the funds for the
maintenance of the Red Cross
work should not be raised by
taxation.

Flag Day In Meade

M. strains OF martial music dl-
tracted the crowd to the Court
House where Uncle Louie Smith
with his fife, assisted by Ragland
father and son with their drums
dispensed patriotic airs for
half hour. Hon Geo. w. Day,
Master of Ceremonies, delivered
a splendid opening talk, after
which the flag was raised oyer
the Court House while the crowd
sang The Star Spangled Ban
ner." The function of raising
the flag was performed by Reva
Whitehead, a touch of patriotic
sentiment prevailing from the
fact that the little MISS now has
two brothers enlisted under the
colors. Following this Captain
Painter was called and delivered
a brief stirring address preg-
nant with patriotic thoughts and
lofty ideals. After singing
America the crowd dispersed to
meet at the Opera House at 8 P.
M. The capacity of this com
modious building was taxed to
the utmost to accom- modate the
loyal Americans who asse m bled
for the evening program, While
waiting the hour they we're roy
ally entertained by Louis Smith
with his fife, accompanied again
by the drums, Father Stamper
manipulating the snare drum on
this occasion. 1t was a touching
scene. These two old heroes,
bent and gray, bowed with the
burden of years and the weight
oftime, gone forever the ELUSIVE.
nessand sprightliness that mark
ed their bearing when one wore
the blue and the other the gray,
yetthe fires of patriotism burn
ed no less bright on the altars of
their souls, and their ardor was
no whit dimmed as they played
the National melodies 10 honor of
the Stars and Stripes. After an
invocation by DR.. Lytle the
crowd, led by Rev. Craft, again
sang, "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," which was followed by an
address by Frank S. Sullivan.
During the speech, which was
an apostrophe to the flag, Miss
Neva Boyer acted as standard
bearer and added emphasis TO
the thoughts and sentiments ex-
pressed by appropriate maneuv-
ers of Old Glory. The meeting
closed with the singing of "Co.
lu IN bia" by Prof. Francis Backe.
Mr.. Sulllvan's speech was sub
stantially as follows:-
with the strains of the grand
est song ever written ringing in
my ears l come to talk to you on
this momentous occasion, an oc-
casion fraught with great and
vital interest to all true Ameri-

Of that emblem Of Liberty, l see
