There is also an editorial on Hamp-

good speeches by Samps Bridges and

NO RED CROSS sLAckERs.

Omaha, having raised nine mill
lion dollars for the Liberty loan,
is now asked to contribute a
quarter of a million to the Red
Gross.
To Mr.. scrooge it may seem an
imposition. ''All the time give,
give, give" he says.
But let Mr.. Scrooge pause and
reflect.
The money that went into the
Liberty loan was an investment,
not a gift. And it was the sound
est, safest investment on the face
of the earth today. Every dollar
that goes into it will be paid back
with interest, and every dollar OF
it will be spent, meanwhile, to
protect Mr.. Scrooge's business,
his home, his happiness, his lib
erty, while he is left free, mean
while, to go safely about his bus
mess of making more money.
But it is necessary to do more
than lend money to insure the
swimming of this war. Money must
u be given, as we'll.
So we are asked to GIVE $780,
900 to the Red Cross. 1t seems a
tidy sum of money. AS a matter
of fact it is infinitesimal. 1t
amounts to less than one-tenth of

RED CROSS BENEFIT DANCE.

The big Red Cross dance given
at the Wehrli hall last evening
was a grand success i'm every
sense of the word. The neat sum
of 5000 was made for the local
Red Cross chapter. The crowd
of last evenings event exceeded
all previous gatherings in that
hall. The doors were thrown
open at 9 O'Clock to the large
numbers of waiting people and
all formality Immediately disap-
-peared. In spite of the warm
evening, everybody enjoined into
the spirit of the occasion, which
made it one of the social success
es of the season. The hall was
most deliberately adorned in pa
triotic decorations, cleverly ar
ranged by r. M. Rhodabeck. Beau
tiful peonies, which were kindly
donated by Mr.. McMullen, pro-
prietor of the Honey Greek nurs-
cry, banked the north wall. The
delicious punch, carnations, con-
fectionery and cigars were do
mated by merchants and the young
ladies of the Junior chapter.
The music by Kiger's six-piecc
orchestra from Council Bluffs
was delight to the entire au-
dience, and particularly the
pieces containing strains of the
various patriotic airs. At the end
of the tenth dance, during the in
Permission, Miss Annette Fanger
gave reading that filled the
throng with stirring patriotism.
Immediately following the orches-
ira struck up America Both
numbers were heartily applauded
The favor dance of the evening
was the "Miseriere" waltz from ii
Trovatore, which was much APP
preciated. Much praise is due
the ladies of the local chapter for
their untiring efforts in assist
ing to make a pleasant and sue
,cessful evenings entertainment.
The members of the Twentieth
Century, under whose auspices
the Red Cross dance was held,
should be congratulated for max
ing this event possible. 1t was a
late hour when the merry party
departed for home, we'll pleased
with the evenings affair.
Many people from the nearby
towns were present.

DETTEn.r

At monster Red Cross meet
ing at Mondamin last, night,
$4,000 was pledged by the loyal
men and women of that thriving
little city and surrounding terri
tory. Hundred-dollar checks
came in faster than the; secretary
could record the names and when
the boosting had ceased, the
above amount had been sub
scribed. Modale, Mondamin, Per-
STA and the other small towns of
the county are doing better than
the larger town, not only in pro-
portion, but in actual money.
This town will have to get more
ginger behind the, movement and
the men who can afford it, give
more, if we are to reach our ex-
pected amount. We have been
assigned to raise $4,000 as the
minimum, but we are long ways
behind that SO far. Help US
now.

gathered about the improvised
