AMERICAN RED CROSS
WANTS TEN MILLION NEW MEN,
BERS- DRIVE, OPENED MON
DAY-LASTS TO CHRISTMAS "

Ten million new members in a week.
That is the goal the American Red
Cross has set for itself in it's Christ
mas membership campaign that open
ed Monday, Dec. IL and closes Christ
mas eve. Throughout the entire United
States Red Cross chapters are prepar-
ing for the enrolment of the new army
of workers who are to stand as the Or
gained support of the boys in the
trenches. Every member Of every fam
lily a member of the Red Cross, at one
dollar member the slogan.
The drive is national in its scope,
and will be pushed in every state, on
the same days. The country is di-
vided into fourteen districts or divi-
sions and Wisconsin belongs to the
central division, with headquarters in
Chicago, comprising Wisconsin, Mich
igan, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska
Three reasons for the big drive
this month are given from the ma
tional headquarters in Washington
%. To get more people, especially
men, directly interested in the work
of the Red Cross. (2). To secure a
good annual income from membership
dues; 90. To give moral support to
the army and navy and our allies.
The appeal sent out from Washing
ton reads: President Wilson heads
it; congress authorizes it; the war
department audits the accounts; Per-
shing approved it; it is working for
your army and navy; it is working for
your allies; it is working for you.

DIES S. IN MONTANA
FORMER GRANT COUNTY RESI-
DENT PASSED AWAY AT Dill
LON-WELL KNOWN.

The Virginia City, Mont, Times, has
the following to say of James Judge,
who lived here many years ago:
Dillon Nov 20.-James Judge a
resident of Home Park and a we'll
known rancher of the southern part
of the state, died this morning at
the Curtis hospital of heart trouble.
Mr.. Curtis had recently sold his
ranch in Madison county to the Gill
bert livestock company, of Dillon,
and was stopping in this city for
few days contemplating trip to Cali
fornia for the winter He became ill
during his stay and was sent to the
hospital for medical attention. His
death was totally unexpected as he
had been in comparatively good health
for the past two or three days. Mrs.
Judge and other members of the fam
lily arrived in Dillon this afternoon to
take charge of the remains The fun
eral arrangements will be announced
| later. The deceased was about AZ
years Old
James Judge has been a resident of
Madison county for many years and
acquired extensive ranching interests
| near Home Park, where he and his
family have made their home for the
past "A years. He is very we'll known
throughout this vicinity One sister
in law, Mrs. Harry Hudson, is a resi-
dent of this city, and sister, Mrs.
Charles B. Williams, resides with her
husband at Sheridan
Funeral services over the remains
of James Judge were conducted at
the Catholic church at Laurin, Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock, interment
being in the cemetery there
This was one Of the most largely
attended funerals ever known in Madi-
son county. People from as far away
as Dillon, Hwin Bridges, Pony and the
Madison valley were there. He was a
man universally liked and his sudden
calling away was a shock severely felt
nthis community.

Nov. IA, 1917
Dear People,:
Received you letter today, dated
Sept. %. which stated the fact that you
had received no letters since Aug.
8, but really, sis, you can't blame me
for that as | have done my bit, and
without doubt Davy Jones' cores
pondence list has more than doubled
since we arrived for it seems my mail
does not come through as it ought.
We started for walk this afternoon
and as we were crossing the grounds,
met a bunch of fellows just arriving,
so we spent the rest of the afternoon
asking questions about the land from
whence they came and they about the
land that is to be their home. Being
the first over here we have welcomed
many and prospects look good for
many more.
The troops here received call to
float the second Liberty bond and it
was foated about as high as anywhere,
| guess. Our regiment is not a full
company but we raised $4,000. So,
don't you think we are doing our
share? | have two shares. We have
until June to pay them, if we wish,
so much a month There are seven
or eight Red Cross ladies at the Y. M.
G. A, not far from here and in talk
ing with one of them I learned she
was born and raised at Lacrosse.
Seemed quite coincidence as she was
the first American woman | had talked
with over here. Well it is getting late
and we will soon have to put out the
lights and go to sleep on our soft
beds. I did not write much for awhile
for the Office was filled with letters
they could not get time to censor but
now, | guess, they have been sent
along SO will send this along after
them.

A PATHETIC APPEAL
CHILDREN OF EUROPE ARE DYING
OF HUNGER-FUNDS CAN BE
MAILED NOW

The Herald office is in receipt of a
pathetic appeal for aid from the
American representative of Europe's
starving children. The appeal goes on
to say that MILLIONS of little child
rem will starve in Europe this winter
unless aid comes to them soon. Child
rem separated from their parents or
orphans, are in the stricken fields and
at the deserted roadsides, dying
ALONE!
In Poland all children under seven
years have succumbed to the misery
and want. The appeal states as fol-
lows:
10 cents will give a starving child
one days life.
So one months life.
$35 one years life.
Over 100000 American children are
making sacrifices to help save these
starving children.
OUR SOLDIERS are Offering their
lives to help save these starving child
rem.
The need is very great and it seems
CFlnlnal 10 waste money on IOOl1Sn
presents when these little children
must have food or die.
The appeal says:
IN GOD NAME HELP NOW! NO
NATTER HOW LITTLE! THEY ARE
DYING!
Address remittances to
CHILDREN OF AMERICAS FUND
CENTRAL TRUST COMPANY of IL
LIMOS, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
It is suggested that you notify your
friend or relative that you have TAX
en- the money for their gift to save
some starving child. You are request
ed to ask them to do likewise
IN GODS NAME HELP NOW. THEY
ARE DYING.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS

Americas first war Christmas should
be first Of all Red Cross Christmas.
A new membership or a renewal of
membership in this organization at
this time is urged upon every man,
woman and child in this vicinity a
81 membership insures the Red Cross
magazine. The plan being suggested
in family Of four, for instance, is
for one 50 membership to be taken
out and three ST memberships Con
tributions to the Red Cross may be
left at any bank, and the service cards,
which are placed in windows to show
that each household is supporting the
Red Cross, may be had at every dry
goods store in the city On Christmas
eve the custom of placing a lighted
candle behind the service card in the
window to illuminate it, will be gener-
ally observed throughout the land.
