Buv Red Cross Seals

Are we public spirited citizens ?
Then let us buy Red Cross seals.
We all claim loyalty to country,
let us extend this loyalty to our
state and our community by sup
porting a campaign which means
much in the prevention Of disease.
The funds raised from the sale of
Red Cross Seals will be used in
anti-tuberculosis and actual well

Without national health we can
not support our national ideals.
Without money we cannot main

Red Cross Christmas seals means

The first business of the Amer
lean school is Ameri:anism. The
finest product of our educational
system is an informed, inspired
and well rounded patriotism.
The teacher is at the heart OF the
system which supplies red blood
for the body. of intelligent public
opinion. Our war task will be
performed efficiently when our
people work together understand
ingly. The teacher, more than
any other agent of Americanism,
is in a position to make the peo-
pie understand the national peril ;
and the teacher, more than any
other force, should be able to in
fuence the American home to see
and to do it's duty in the war
crisis. The press, the pulpit, the
state and county councils OF de-
Tense, the official agencies of gov.
eminent can help, but it is the
school that sends the daily mes.
sage of Americanism home to the
people. There can be no higher
service than that offered by the
teacher who gives each young
American in his care a daily, pa.
triotic message Of loyalty for the
home. 1t is absolutely vital to
our cause in the war that this pa
triOtic instruction shall be put
first in school work as in all other
work. The message of American
ism must go home to the people.

Hint to husbands: When drying
dishes hold the slippery ones over the
rest of the dishes. Then when they
slip, the chances Of breaking more

over the ground and baited with grain.

Plans have been perfected to
make the Christmas Eve cere-
monies a fitting climax Of the
patriotic campaign. At 80
O clock on the night before Christ
mas it is proposed that a lighted
candle shall be placed behind the
transparent flag in the window
of every Red Cross home. Local
chapters will strive to see that
this idea is carried into effect.
The candles are to burn until y
clock and at half-hour intervals
during the evening church bells
are to be rung to lend impressive
ness to the Red Cross ceremony.
During the same hours groups OF
Red Cross workers in every COM
munity will march through diff
ferent neighborhoods singing
carols in further acclaim of the
spirit of the Red Cross Christmas.
The Red Cross needs the active
support of millions whose good
will it already has. The big
Christmas membership drive was
conceived in and will be carried
out largely for the purpose of
turning passive friends into ac-
tive workers. And it was pecu-
liarly happy thought that gave
expression to the idea Of making
this a. Red Cross Christmas. !"

Dear Sir:
The National Government is about to
issue war loan of billions of dollars
which in my opinion is going to be of
fered at popular subscription to the
people of the United States in denomi-
nations of $500, $4,000, 10000 and
multiples thereof. While this loan will
be subscribed to many times over, am
very anxious that every child that has
$500 and every family that can spare
that amount or more shall be a sub
scriber to that patriotic fund.
These bonds are better than gold and
the possession of one win remind the
purchaser that the country has trusted
| to the integrity of its people for its
finances and will teach every boy, and
girl and adult that as individuals they
are helping in this war in which we are
involved by furnishing the means to
defend the flag of their country.
Therefore, / am asking you to make
the necessary arrangements and to give
| it thorough publicity so that when this
loan will be offred by popular subscrip-
! ton that our people, through you, will
