STEADY INCOME
 FOR RED CROSS
Five to Eight Thousand Year Is
 Needed for Work in Putnam
This Amount Necessary 10 Fill Requisi-
 tions of Atlantic Division

meeting of the ways and means committee of the Red Cross was held Wednesday evening. Prominent citi- Zens were invited to attend and the gathering numbered twenty five. It was an earnest body of men facing patriotic problem that must be solved and the discussion was a stern ousi ness talk. As acquisitions are now be ing made on Putnam alone-not Put nam district five to eight thousand dollars year is needed to meet the demsnd-to purchase yarn and surgi- cal dressings.
 First the matter of holding big fair was discussed. It was decided that it would not be feasible at this time on account of conditions. Shows and entertainments were also con- sidered but the work entailed and the time that would have to be given seemed out of proportion to what it was believed could be realized.
 It was then suggested that there might be d hundred or more men in the city willing to give dollar week through the year 1918 which would insure a steady income. This seemed to meet with favor and every man present pledged 10 do this. Each one also volunteered to be committee of one to canvass the town. Smaller sums per week will also be accepted and it was thought that a weekly col lection might be taken on pay day nt the mills letting each employe con- tribute what he or she saw it. It was also considered probable that the man. ufacturers would put the Red Cross on their pay rolls for an amount each week. This is being done and the money so donated does not have to be figured in excess profits returned 10 the government.
 The above plans will be carried out. There is no ,dodging the issue. The demand is imperative and must be met.
