The Red Cross Needs
Y0u-..Join Now

The time has arrived for action
and the local chapter work is in full
swing.
Membership in the American Red
cross Is an expression of your patri-
otism and humanity. Can you afford
not to be a member at this crisis in
your country's history?
1t does not involve obligations for
service at the front, but 1t does mean
loyalty to the cardinal principles of
the society: Humanity, neutrality,
preparedness.
Local chapters are supported by a
percentage of Its share of the men,
oership dues, and all administration
expenses are also covered by dues.
though special gifts arc acceptable.
There are reasons for a Red Cross
chapter in evcry community. The
humanitarian side appeals. In case
OF local disaster which paralyzes 9TH
er relief agencies in the locality; in
case OF national disaster; in case of
disaster elsewhere; relief for wound
ed and non combatants on both sides
OF any war, which exempts Red Cross
neutrality; clearing house for nation
al and international relief.
In preparedness work it under
takes to equip army and navy base
hospitals; to secure highest class pro-
fessional personnel; to make surgical
dressings and hospital garments; to
care for soldiers families and de-
pendents during time of service, and
so mobilize local resources in case OF
disaster.
In the line of conservation of hu-
nan life the Red Cross seeks to edu-
,ate the public in first aid, care for
he sick, dietetacs; TO develop safety
'ervice (co-operation) and to serve
Ind instruct by its town and country
lursing service. +
The Red Cross is the official chan
lei through which friends or rela-
ives are able to locate and communi-
ate with sick, wounded or impris-
med soldiers.
1t is the one volunteer relief or
,anization for war and disaster rec
'gnized by the United States govern

WAR TAXES.

No war can be fought without noney-oodles of it-and the people must nay. and the means of making them pay is through taxation. A war tax is the inevitable follower of a declaration of war.
 That the government will trp to distribute the burden as evenly as possible we have every reason to be- Ieve. There would be no cause for
 iavOritism or for injustice; if there is ] any leaning to one or the other we nav be sure the matter will be cor Ncted.
 But the trouble is that everybody wants to be in the favored branch; no individual and no organization wants to pay very much of a tax. The rich-except Henry Ford and a few others-are kicking" against the income tax, although they could easily pay and have many times more left than the wage-earner makes by his daily toll.
 This fight against being taxed is certainly the very depth of the lack
 Of patriotism. Nobody enjoys being made a goat" but in times like these, when peace and unity and prosperity of the country hangs in the balance, it should be a patriotic ley to be made, financially, part of the sacrifice of redemption. Nobody s going to be taxed out of exist ence,' nobody is going to be really lFopardized by the amount demanded g the government. It will only en- Hl the cutting down of few luxur- s' the giving up of few personal ndagences, and the man or woman who IS not ready to make such sacri- .ces Tor the cause of the civilization TOT winch We are about to fight is not s0ftny "a place in the sun" of Amer Ran sa, freedom and equality.

HOPE CATS WILL RUN.

tTadSQen county Times.
The Pensacola correspondent of the
Mobile Register, who keeps well post
ed about Cats politics in Florida says
that it is the general opinion through
out the state that Cats will be can
didate for the United States senate
to succeed Senator Fetched. 1t is not
improbable, for there seems to be no
limit to the audacity and decisions
of the volcanic old man at the head
of the state government. And we
almost hope that he may be a candi-
date, for in no other way can his swol-
len egotism be effectually pricked. and
the cold fact be brought home TO him
that his only strength, which was in
the novelty of his boisterous and in
temperate speechifying through the
state last year on a fake issue that
! ''fooled some of the people part of
the time, is gone Now he is handi-
capped by an official record that re-
veals him just as he is and appraises
him at his true value. Senator fetch
er could hardly have a weaker opY0-
nent.
