| lar, or two dollars, or whatever
amount you wish to give for the
membership you take out is put to
work for you in variety of ways.
1t cares for the sick and wounded
men Of the army and navy at the
war base.
1t provides for the families OF sail
ors and soldiers.
It secures employment for men dis
abled in the service of our country.
In times of peace it relieves dis
tress caused by disaster to cities,
towns and villages.
Joining the Red Cross does not
mean that you are expected to go to
the war front.
Red Cross members do not assume,
any financial obligations other than
the payment of small annual dues.
The memberships of millions of
patriotic men, women and children
all over the land make possible the
benefcent relief work upon which the
army and navy man and his family
may depend.
The membership dues help to care
for victims of catastrophes in times
of peace.
These are just a few OF the things
that Keokuk people can do when they
join the Red Cross chapter here
Some have the mistaken idea that it
means actual service. 1t most assur-
edly does not, since only trained
workers are used on the war fronts
by this society

APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT
State Editorial Association at Topeka
Meeting Complains of the High
Cost of Paper.

Topeka.-The Kansas editors, at
their annual meeting here, sent an
appeal to President Wilson asking him
TO take an interest in their behalf and
secure for them immediate relief from
condition that will result in a sus-
pension of half the newspapers Of
Kansas if permitted to continue six
months longer. This action was taken
at the request of George W. Marble,
Of the Fort Scott Tribune, who repre-
scented the Kansas press recently be-
fore the trade commission at Wash
ington, when it was investigating the
print paper situation
That 'the jobbers of news print
and job stock are in a combination
and are extorting excessive prices
from the newspaper publishers" was
charged by Marble, in an address be-
fore the Kansas State Editorial Assoc
citation. Mr.. Marble, who recently at
tended the federal trade commission
hearing in Washington and who made
round of the news print mills in an
endeavor to secure paper for twenty
five daily papers in Kansas, said he
was expecting daily an announce
ment of the institution of criminal
proceedings by the department Of jus
tice against manufacturers and job
bers." He said he had been unable to
secure ton of paper from the paper
mills he visited or to get quotation
on a single car load for the Kansas
dailies.
Mr.. Marble charged that the jobbers
| are in a combination which prevents
them from selling print paper at less
than 51z cents per pound, although
many of them are taking the output
of mills under contract at price little
| in excess of 2 cents.
The Editorial Association concluded
| its annual session here by the cleo
| ton of these officers: President, Her
| bert Cavaness, Chanute; vice-presi
dent, Click Fockele, LIE Roy; secre
tary, o. W. Little, Alma; treasurer
| Clark Conkling, Lyons.

GET RESERVE FLEET READY

Philadelphia, Feb. 3-Ships of the
Atlantic reserve fleet at the navy yard
here are being loaded with supplies
and overhauled by mechanics in antici-
patton of orders to put to sea. Jackies
and laborers were loading supplies on
the swift scout cruiser Prairie, while
stevedores carted stores into the bat
tie ships.
There are seven battleships of the
second line at the navy yard here. The
fleet is under command of Capt. John
Hood, and while some Of the warships
are only partly manned, it is believed
that enough sailors can be brought
from the naval training stations with
in a few hours if orders to sail are
received
