RED CROSS CAMPAIGN
FOR new MEMBERS
NOW IN FULL Swing

America, to your loyal borders
From Porto Rico to Snowy Nome,
Let a Red Cross candle in every win
dow
Mean a Red Cross member in every
home.
words, the purpose of the Red Cross
Christmas membership drive, which
began Sunday, and closes Christmas
eve. 1t is planned to have at least one
Red Cross member in ealh home in
this country, or in as many as may be
reached during this Red Cross drive
The Red Cross was an inspiration for
sermons in most all the churches of
the country on Sunday. The various
committees are now at work about the
city soliciting the new membership so
that a total of 100000 new signers
be secured in the country before
Christmas day.
The allotment to Dodge county is
1889, and to Jefferson county
S276. The drive is not for the big men,
berships, though no large subscrip-
tions will be refused-the idea is to get
large number of members, who will,
each year, at this time, renew their
memberships for the coming year.
The class of memberships asked for
during the campaign will be the maya
zine members, at 81, and the annual
members at 81. The committee asks
that every household have at least one
magazine member, SO that every one
who subscribes from the homes may
read the magazine and know just what
the Red Cross is doing at home and
abroad. The committee also asks that
those whose membership fees for 1918
are not due until some time during
the coming year, contribute the re-
mainder of the year and start afresh
with the Christmas drive, which will
pay the fee for 1918.
The Rev. William LAWN in his SER
mon Sunday morning at st. Demands
church urged his Pensioners to sup
port the Red Cross society. That it
was their duty to stand behind the
country; that they had to make sac
rif1ce even if not sent to the front;
that it was not only the duty of par
ents who had sent loved ones to the
front, to help, but everyone should do
their share. Those with true Christ
mas spirit must feel that it is their
duty to help those lover there" by
giving material support.

Music Dept. w. C. Had A Good
 Program

The Music Department of the Woman's Club met at the home of Mrs. R. c. Wente Tues day, March 27 with Miss Anna Bigger as leader. The meet ing was opened with roll-call members responding with se- ections from the Etude. The subject of the day was the com posers, .Dudly Buch and Sydney Homer, and the Artists Madam Nordica and Myron B Whitney.
 The sketch of the life of Dudley Busch which was read by Mrs. Elliott was most inter esting. The Merry Brown Thrush sung by Mrs. Frank Orr accompanied by Mrs. M. A. Young was we'll rendered. Where the Lindens Bloom and The Requiam sung by Mrs. Rit- tenhouse, were very sweet and impressive. Morning Land and Ferry Me Across The Water, were to be sung by Miss Anna Bigger, but owing to her cold she only sang one. Mrs. Elliott pleased the audience with her Banjo Song and Madam Nordi- ca's Prize Song.
 Mrs. Lees piano selections, The Pilgrimage, from the Gold en Legend, was most beautiful as also were the songs sung by Mrs. Wells: Sunset and Way Down South.
 Mrs. Sine read the life of Myron B. Whitney and Mrs. Robinson a sketch of Madam Nordica's life.
 Miss Bigger deserves much credit, her program was a big success, and all who took part in it did exceptionally well.
 About 25 members were present, and all thoroly enjoy ed the program. Williams has many talented singers to be proud of and the Woman's Club provides a way for us to enjoy them.

MY ARIZONA

There's western land that's fair,
 And the shines always there; 'Ils land that is the dearest have known, Where brown hills encircling rise And grey mountains kiss the skies,
 Oh that land is Arizona and my Home. Tell me of the Canyon Grand,
 Where those mighty forests stand, Tell me of the wealthy rancher and his home, Sing of mineral wealth that grows, Where the Colorado flows,
 o that land is Arizona, and my home. Tell me of land of health,
 Where there's every kind of wealth; Where there's life and joy and freedom yo roam, Where the deeds that men may do, Prove them noble, brave and true, Oh, that land is Arizona and my home. Tell me of land, where love,
 Strong in womans heart doth prove Best of all gifts to meath Heavens dome, Where her daughters all the while, Banish care with beauties smile, Sing of Sunny Arizona, and my home. Of this wild and woody vest One fair state love the best All it's mountains plains, and rivers very dry; But my love is stronger far, Since we've killed the Licensed Bar, In this lovely Arizona I'll abide; Tell it out both and far
 That the Nations Newest Star, Sheds ustre brighter far, than eer has shone; From the mountains to the sea, Join this happy song with me.
 Sing of Lovely Arizona, now my home.

DON'T SHIP SOFT CORN

The United States Department of
Agriculture has been advised that a
large amount of soft corn arriving at
large grain centers in the middle west
is in danger of spelling. Owing to
congestion of terminals at these points
railroads are unable to deliver corn
promptly to drying plants where it
can receive proper care. This corn is
especially liable to get out of condition
while being held on trade during warm
weather.
In order to prevent the spoilage of
such soft corn it is recommended that
until cold weather sets in farmers and
country shippers delay the movement
of such soft corn from the field unless
conditions at the point to which the
corn is shipped are such that the corr
can be given quick attention for con.
ditioning.
