YOUNG PUT
GINGER INTO
RELIEF WORK
North Dakota to Come to
the Front in the Red
Cross Campaign.

Chicago, July THE nation has
felt the great need of the quick or
gantzation Of North Dakota in sup
port of the Red Gross in its policy OF
assisting the army and navy in all
lines Of preparedness. The officials
Of the Red Cross have been in a guam
dairy as to the best means Of attaining
this end.
The first big step toward thorough
organization has just been taken in
the appointment to the position Of
state Red Cross director OF the Hon.
N. G. Young of Fargo, a former mem
Der of the state supreme court. and
the transfer Of North Dakota from
the mountain division to the central
division.
Wilson To Confirm It.
The civic spirit Of the new director
and his patriotic services in the past,
give assurance that he will serve the
Red Cross in h best possible way,
and hat he will be backed by the
splendid spirit of the people Of his
state. The interest which President
Wilson, the head of the Red Cross,
has manifested in the state directors,
makes probably his personal confirm
alton Of the appointment. A telegram
from Acting Chairman Wadsworth of
the central committee of the Red
Gross at washington, mas ALREADY
conveyed to Mr.. Young his apprecia-
ton of the acceptance of the position.
Vigorous Support.
It is the intention Of Director John
J. O'Connor, of the central division,
to give the most vigorous support to
the campaign of the new director to
make North Dakota a leading state in
Red Cross activities. Every man,
woman and child in the state will be
given an opportunity to identify him
self with the Red Cross, and help in
its work of making the country fully
prepared to support the army and
navy and care for the dependent fam
lilies of the fighting men. Red Cross
state directors work without pay, de-
voting their time and their valuable
business training to the country
through a patriotic desire to give help
where help is most needed. Mr..
Young is but following the example
of Acting Chairman Wadsworth of
Washington.
Mr.. Wadsworth accumulated a large
fortune in business and retired while
still a young man. When it appeared
