WILL We HELP
THE RED CROSS?
Organization Right Now Keeping
:: Millions Of Destitute Men,
Women and Children
Alive in Europe.
tM Americans at Home Must
/ Back Up This Great Work
!: EtfectualIy-Join the Red
/ Cross Today.

The American Red Cross has on its
hands one of the worlds greatest and
,grimmest Jobs. In order to do the
work, the organization must have at
once fifteen million members. It now
has five million on the rolls and is
campaigning to secure the ten million
additional members by Christmas eve.
Every man, woman and child in this
community ought to belong to the Red
Cross. Being member doesn't mean
that one is expected to go to Europe,
carry wounded soldiers off the battle
fields and nurse them in the hospitals.
1t doesn't mean that one need go to
the devastated areas of France, or Bel
GUM, or Poland, or Serbia, and give
personal care to the starving, freezing,
naked. homeless women and children
there. /.
But it does mean that those of us
who stay comfortably at home will do
as much as we can in every way to
back up the organization already at
work 'over there"
It does mean that the men among
us will contribute our bit to help our
brothers fighting the cause of liberty
in Europe.
It does mean that the mothers,
among us will knit and sew for the,
wretched mothers of Europe and their
pitiful babies.
1t does mean that our young women
will show practical sympathy for the
young women along the western
front" and in Serbia who have suffered
nnspeakable cruelties at the hands Of
bestial enemy soldiers.
1t does mean that our children be
made to understand the curse upon
the children of Europe, and be taught
to make some sort of sacrifice for the
cause of humanity.
1t does mean that each of us will do
what he can individually to supply
plenty of comforts for our soldiers
fighting the enemy and necessities for
the wounded in hospitals.
Stricken Europe Is crying to heaven
for relief, and Providence is answering
that prayer through the instrumental
ity of the American Red Cross.
Now If it had unlimited funds but
only comparatively few members, the
Red Cross would be unable to do the
work before it. The first great need
is for millions Of membership sup

The same thing goes for the Red

daughters were admirers of Haydn's
music, and as the young woman was
soon to be married he made bold to
ask that the composer write a rninuet
for her wedding. Kind Papa Haydn
consented, and in a few days the man

afterward Haydn was surprised to
hear this same minuet played under
his window. On looking out he saw a
band of musicians, forming ring
around large OK tastefully decorated
with flowers Soon the butcher came
