final DRIVE TO
GAIN MEMBERS
FOR RED CROSS
Stragglers and Slackers Will
Not Be Permitted to Es-
cape in Wind-up Of the
Campaign.
Heads Of Business Houses
Asked to Canvass Their
Employees = High School
Girls Volunteer Their Ser
vices for the Day.

Ada county Red Cross drive head
quarters presented scene of great
activity this morning when a host Of
alert high school girls showed up in
response to Chairman Cruzen's call to
begin a final drive this week. If there
are any stragglers or slackers left in
Boise they will not be permitted to es-
cape today.
1t has been decided by the Ada
county committee to offer a prize to
the girl, bringing the largest number
of members today. Award of this
prize will be based entirely on today's
work. Money with which to purchase
the present has been contributed by
the Ada county management and it Is
expected that the rivalry for it will be
very keen.
Heads of business houses of Boise
will be seen today and asked to can
vass their employees with a view to
seeing that all are members of the
Red Cross. The county committee
urges that all business houses display
Red Cross service flags with stickers
denoting number that have Joined the
organization. These flags should be
prominently displayed in show win
dows and wherever the head of the
house is entitled to do so he should
put up a. banner or sign stating that
every member of his establishment Is
enrolled under the banner Of the Red
Cross.
WELL OVER QUOTA.
Ada county is now well over her
quota of 4400 More than 1000 new
memberships have been taken and
both Chairman Cruzen and Secretary
Leo j. Falk feel sure that the quota
will practically be doubled. 1t is
doubtful for any other county in the
state to exceed this record although
many of them are after it.
Up to this morning complete re-
ports for the first five days Of the
drive have been received from only
three counties. Incomplete reports
have been received from % and 10
have not reported at all. However,
from the figures at hand. 1890 mem
berships have been announced. The
quota for the state asked for by the
national Red Cross committee was
$1,000.
Campaign Manager Gibson ex
pressed this morning his belief that
the state would go certainly 10000
over its quota and perhaps exceed that
figure All counties that have been
heard from in full are now over their
quota and if the rest of the state does
as well there can be no question as to
the thorough success of the drive.

RAIN CHANGES MYSTERIES PLANS
Storm Prevents Liberty Day Parade, But Mass Meeting Held in Opera House-Total of Bond Subscriptions Reaches $466 55O-TaI< of Holding Parade Saturday.

That old saw that says rain before seven ends before eleven, did not pre- vail as against the northeas ster that prevailed in Westerly and prevented what was planned to have been one of the biggest paradeS ever in the old town. Nearly every Crganizat ton in the place, and then some, were to take part in the big patriotic street demon- stration to boost the subscriptions to the second Liberty bond loan. While the parade feature was eliminated the mass meeting in the Bliven Opera house was a success beyond bounds.
 The planning for the event was by the Local Liberty Loan committee, and under the direct supervision of sub committee composed of James NJ. Pen dleton, Everett F. Whipple, Arthur L.. Perry. Alberti R. Stillman, Arthur NJ. CottreH and Charles r. Hammond. While the strong northeaster was in full swing, Wednesday morning. an hour before noon, the committee held a session in the banking house of the Gndustrial Trust company. and due to the uncertainty of weather condi- lions. with chances of a continuance of the rain during the afternoon. it was decided to declare the parade off Chief Marshal Everett F. Whipple was advised to serve notice to that effect upon all organizations that in tended to parade. The marshal at once notified his aides, Captain Archie c. Thompson, Captain Walter D. Siyne and Thomas Mckenzie. and through sneir united efforts all the orsaniza- ions received notification before noon that there was to be nc general pa -ade All organizations were request ed, however, to assemble at their sov- sral meeting places in time to march separately to the mass meeting in the Blfven Opera house, at three o'clock.
 Fortunately the committee. through the Providence local committee. se- cured Job E. Hedges of New York, conceded to be among khc foremost of orators, to deliver an address in the opera house. MT.

 The opera house was filled to ca pacity at o'clock. and the speeches and music by the Westerly band aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of all present. and stimulated subscrip- tions to the Liberty Loan bonds. J.
 NJ. Pendleton presided at the meeting and opened the exercises with a brief speech explaining the real object of
 the meeting. which was in conformity with the proclamation of President Wilson to make sure the success of the the northeaster did not defer it's com-
 ing so as not to interfere with the parade plan, especially as the large audience attested to the loyalty Cii Westerly. which would have been greatly increased by a street parade. where all could be accommodated and with the sky as the limit.
 Mir. Hedges address was forcefuI extremely patriotic, and truly eloquent at frequent intervals. He told of the War, it's cause, what the allies had done and are doing, and what the United States must do, to bring per- petual peace. There was no prelimi- nary, in the great battle for democ- racy. but it was fight to the finish, and that right must prevail.
