ADA COUNTY IN
line FOR RED.
CROSS DRIVE
Workers Solicit Member
ships With Good Results
Hope to Enroll Every
Man, Woman and Child.
"over the top"

"Over the top"
That is the motto Of the Red Cross
workers sent out from Ada county
headquarters this morning to enroll
every man, woman and child in the
county as members Of the great So
ciety before Christmas eve.
At every bank, hotel, apartment
store, in the postoffice and at the de-
pots. a swarm of workers were out
today soliciting the small entrance fee
for the American Red Cross society.
From the number of receipt books de-
manded at county headquarters, 1t is
a safe prediction that there will be
several thousands more loyal Ameri-
cans members of the society tonight
EXPECT GOOD RESULTS.
The big drive has just started. The
workers will not let up until every
person who can spare dollar is a
member. Chairman A. r. Cruzen and
Secretary Leo ]. Falk report that they
have the best working force ever as
sembled in the county for any cause
and predict phenomenal results.
1t does not matter IL one Joined the
organization some months ago, he Is
expected to Join again in the name of
home, country and humanity.
The workers report few refusals on
the part of those solicited and they
only come from those who appeared
unable to join and in these instances,
promises to join later were often
made.
LAUNCHED BY PRESIDENT.
This campaign was launched by
proclamation Of President Wilson, for
the purpose of placing the United
States in the front rank in member
ship in the Red Cross, and for the
purpose of putting the people Of the
United States directly behind the
Red Cross in its wonderful work of
relief.
All memberships secured in Ada
county will be turned in to the local
chapter Of the Red Cross. Half of the
membership fee goes to the local Red
Cross. and half to the national. Have
all checks payable to the American
Red Cross.
The intention of this campaign Is
to relieve all local officers of the Red
Cross, of this enormous detail, and
thus release them for other work
which it Is so important at this time
that they do.
BUTTONS TO MEMBERS.
A Red Cross button is to be giver
with each membership obtained. anc
the member should be requested II
wear this button continuously durinf
campaign week. Everyone not wear
ing a button continuously during tn
campaign must be solicited for mem
bership The fact that they have
button of the new type, now being Is
sued, denotes that they have alread.
Joined. However, there has just de
veloped a scarcity of buttons, and, un
less more buttons are received, W
may not be able to carry out this par
, of our program.
1t is intended that each worker b
supplied with a book of certificates
a supply of buttons, service flags, an
: gummed cross stickers. When an ap
: plication for membership Is receive
the person joining should be given
button, a certificate, a service flag. an
as many gummed cross stickers a
l there are members in his or her fam
l ily who have joined the Red Cross.

troubles prevented completing It,.
Under an order from the federal court

in by the state of Idaho. For the past
three years the state has been man
aging it. Some time ago a request
was made by the state that the gov
eminent take over the project. An
was passed to the appro-
priation bill setting aside 100000 for
that purpose. In the meantime the
government. through the reclamation
service of the interior department ad-
vanced funds for the making of sur
yeys, etc.
DISCUSS TRAILS.
The settlers on the project formed
an irrigation district and entered into
a contract with the government to
supervise the project. This is the
contract that the government has APP
proved.
The board also spent some time
discussing sheep and cattle trails fol
Washington. Adams, Gem and Valley
counties. The trail problem is one thai
has occupied the attention of the board
for some time. Trails are necessary
through the counties to reach the
ranges.
