fact, the whole atmosphere of the
city vibrated with patriotic enthusi-
asm. 1t would not be practical to
name all who Wed in the effort to
show genuine sentiments of patriot
ism, generosity and mercy. 1t would
be unjust not to mention the untir-
ing and intelligent effort of Mrs. A.
H. Pracht, who for weeks has devoted
practically all of her time and energy
in the organization and carrying for
ward the Red Cross work.
Maxine Pracht, the granddaughter
of Max Pracht, a Grand Army veter-
an, recently deceased, sold flowers at
the depot, to travellers, to the amount
of $40, which she donated to the Red
Cross. Say, boys, don't you see how
anxious the girls are for the welfare
of the soldier boys? Who would be
o Stacker in such presence?
There is no doubt that the people
are at last awake to the situation.
Last weeks work has been worth
more than hundred millions of dol
lars to the great cause of humanity
that is now stirring all Of the world.
The prayers of all civilized people
are ascending every minute, every
where, for the downfall Of military
autocracy and the establishment of
universal democracy. The most i'm
portant moment has arrived and the
psychological effect being produced
all over the world is one of the great
est factors for the accomplishing of
the supreme result.
Notice.
The executive committee In the |
Red Cross campaign, just finished,
asks all who have bills to itemize
them without delay. AS the Red
Cross headquarters in the Elks block
will only be open part of the time,
bills may be left at any Of the banks
in the city and they will turn them
over to the executive committee.
Please present the bills at once as
the committee is anxious to be as
prompt in meeting its obligations as
the Ashland public was in its splendid
response to our appeal for subscrip-
tions.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Notice.
II was the earnest effort of the
executive committee, through the ef-
ficient services Of tho soliciting
teams, to give every signle person in
this city and vicinity an opportunity
to subscribe to the Red Cross. It
was big task and undoubtedly some
people were overlooked. Be assured
that this was not Intentional, and we
ask those who were not solicited to
please call at one of the banks of the
city and make their subscriptions.
The banks will receipt to you If your
subscription is in cash or will accept
your card agreeing to pay on the de-
ferred payment plan. A subscription
made any time this week will mean
just as much to us as If you had been
seen by the solicitors Please attend
to 1t promptly,
Executive Committee.
The executive committee has a big
task on its hands to tabulate all re-
turns. Professor Briscoe has this
work under way, so it will be done
promptly and efficiently. AS soon as
possible the executive committee will
prepare and publish full statement
showing total subscriptions, what
amount was in cash an6 amount in
pledges, and all the information that
We think will be of interest. We are
still too busy closing matters up to
make acknowledgment for the splen-
did support given this cause. We will
do so later.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
