LITTLE BOY DOESHISBI]T !
Hears Appeal for the Red Cross and
Gives all the Money he had With
Him-Sets Fine Example:

Some of the younger generation IL
Alexandria are setting some splen
did examples in giving, to the Older
citizens of this fine old city. Ref
erence was made in the Gazette
one day this week to the little news
boy who walked into one of the banks
and bought a Liberty Bond, and yes
terday another instance came 20 no.
tice, concerning the gift Of sever
year old boy.
At the conclusion of touching
appeal to the children Of the Wash
ington street school, made by Mrs
d. J. Howell, chairman Of the )ad'es,
committees appointed to solicit funds
for the Red Cross campaign, in
which she endeavored TO impress up
on their minds that they Should per-
sonallv contribute to the cause, if
1
| possible, from money they earned,
instead of asking their parents for it,
the little boy referred to above, went
ND to her and gave her some pen
| nies which he had earned selling
papers. They were all he had. Who
could have done more?
Mrs. Howell said that the act of
the manly little fellow, and the way
in which he did it was most effective
and touching. Shall the older resi-
dents of Alexandria do less? Think
it over, reader, and when the COM
mittees call on you next week "do
your bit"
The "Rcd Cross Week" campaign
will start in earnest day after tomor-
row-Monday--for which the follow
ing committees have been appointed.
Virginia has been called upon for one
million dollars and Alexandria should
do it's share, and will. Let every
one put their shoulders to the wheel.
