Mrs. L. C. Drummond of the Red
Cross committee of Rico Is asking
through the columns of The Star for
several addresses of Dolores county
boys who have Joined the colors. The
Dolores Red Cross committee are ex-
periencing difficulty in getting the
correct address of the boys that have
gone from the vicinity of Dolores and
the northern section of Montezums
county. and are soliciting your coopera-
ton. We hope the readers of The
Star will do all they can to see that
the address Of all our soldier boys are
placed in the hands of these commit
tees. We have noticed articles in our
exchanges from boys who volunteered
who seem to think that they are not
treated by the home folks as we'll as
the drafted boys are. This is simply
because most of them left for the re-
cruiting stations without telling any
one where they were. gone and they
have not sent their address to the Red
Cross or their home paper. Every boy
who has Joined the colors will receive
the same treatment from the general
public through the Red Cross COM
mittees If his address can he procured.

devolves upon each one Of US, as upon
each man. OF course our work is along
different lines. but any one who reads the
current papers and ma asazines can not
help but be struck by the increasing force
of the remarks concerning the impor-
lance to the army and navy of the un-
stinted and constant cooperation of the
''folks at home" All that one can
do 10 not enough, more than that, it
does not do to be enthusiastic savers
of food, or Red Cross workers for a
few weeks. and then slip back into the
old ways again. 1t means trying coa-
sistently harder to sacrifice, not in food,
Of course. but in, other ways, to do
what is required of US, to save and to
work, work, work for the men at the
front, for our country and our Allies.

course, all are working patriotically in
their homes, but few hours of their
time is also needed, in this organized
work. The excuse that she is ''very
busy" is one that everyone might give.
and no one would be there to work.
