THE RED CROSS

1t has been allotted to Sharp
county to raise $4,000 for use by
the Red Cross during the war. The
entire nation is being called upon
to contribute to a great fund for
the use of this society.
Sharp county may not be able
to raise that amount of money but
all our citizens who are able to do
so should contribute literally to
this fund.
The American Red Cross is the
only organization in existence
which devotes itself exclusively to
the alleviation of human suffering
on the battlefield and elsewhere.
The work done by this great organi-
zation in caring for the wounded
and the dying is a great tribute to
the humanity of those who do the
work and those who contribute
their funds in that direction.
Whatever differences of opinion
there may be about the war there
can be none about the work of the
Red Cross. This war is inevitable;
that fact was settled by the govern
ment some time ago. 1t is just as
inevitable that there will be sick,
wounded and dying soldiers, and
perhaps some of these will be boys
from our own section. To care for
these is the one great work of the
Red Cross.
Almost any citizen can make a
small contribution to the Red
Cross fund, and money could hard
ly be spent in a cause more noble
and more worthy.
