Membership Drive Proving Interest
Still Lively in Great Relief
Organization.
RED CROSS CAMPAIGN

That the close OF the war has not
caused the people to lose their interest
in the work of the greatest humani-
tartan organization ever organized by
mankind was demonstrated in the
membership drive which started here
this week. All elements seemed to
combine to interfere with the work.
The depression caused by the terrible
flu epidemic was combined with the
biggest snow storm here for several
years and a spell of real winter wealth
er, and yet in spite of that fact the
few members of the committee able
to get out on the first afternoon of
the drive secured 242 members for the
Prowers county chapter. This has
been largely added to since and the
impossible to start the house to house
campaign which will be made later in
the week. II is expected that Lamar
will show over 1000 members and the
rest of the county as many more, and
we believe the figures will be reached
from present Indications. Remember
that your assistance is needed just as
bad today as ever and in some re-
spects even more. The territory of
our allies which has just been liberated
as well as portions of the Turkish pos
sessions in Asia are in a condition of
misery and starvation never before
heard of in history. and only the ex-
pcnditure of millions under the merci-
full care of the Red Cross will save the
suffering millions of people there.
These people have committed no
crimes except such as oppression has
driven them to. They were our active
allies when possible and always
in sympathy. and we. who were for
tunate enough to escape the clutches
Of the Hun and Turk beasts, owe it
n our less favored brothers to relieve
as far as possible their physical suffer
ings.

The Red Cross Ready for Peace

THE following has been telegraphed by the
War Council of the American Red Cross to each one
of the 1857 chapters:
"On February 10th, last year, nearly six weeks be-
fore the United declared National Red Cross
Headquarters advised its chapters to prepare for war
That which has followed in the record of the Red Cross
in helping to win this and to relieve the suffering
growing of constitutes something of which every
American citizen has right 10 be proud Every Ameri
Red Cross worker must feel of gratitude in
having had share in it all
"The moment is to prepare for peace.
Until peace is really here and soldiers home there
be relaxation in any Red Cross effort incident TO
active hostilites.
But even with peace let suppose that the
work Of Red Cross is finished Millions of American
boys are still under arms Thousands of them are sick
and wounded Owing to the shortage in shipping it may
take a to bring boys home from France.
whatever the time, protecting arms must be about
them and their families the whole period which
must elapse before the normal lie oil peace can be re
sumed.
Our soldiers sailors enlisted until the Com
mander in Chief tells them there is no more work for
them to in the Let every Red Cross member and
worker-and this means both men and women-show
our retaining soldiers and sailors that to for their
health welfare and happiness we are enlisted Tor no less
period than they
.The cessation of war will reveal a picture of misery
such as the world has before, especially in
the many countries which cannot help themselves The
American people will expect the Red Cross to continue
to act their agent in repairing broken spirits and
broken bodies Peace terms and conditions will
how best minister the vast stricken
areas which have been narrowed by and for this
of the heart and spirit OF the American
people must continue to be mobilized through the Amer
lean Red Cross.
"On behalf of the War Council we accordingly ask
each member of splendid body of workers through
out land to bear in mind the solemn obligation which
rests upon each to carry on We cannot abate
efforts in spirits. There will be
abundance of work to do, and specific advices will be
given at the moment of peace let Red Cross
worker fater.
"Our spirits must now call us show that not the
roar OF the blood of alone directs
activities but that great people will continue to respond
greatly and freely to its obligations and opportunity to
serve"

signs were displayed for the first time
since the war started, and London
took on a strange night appearance to
us who had seen the city only rs a

and melting and showing again each
day. The moisture amounts to enough
already to more than equal winter
irrigation. besides the benefit Of the
snow covering the thousands of acres
of winter wheat in both the irrigated
and dry land sections. There have
been only few SHOWS in the history
of this valley equal to the combined
snowfall of the past week, and there
is no present prospect Of letup. This
time too there is only a small frac-
tion of the stock on the range to be
hurt that there was at the time of
the big storm in 1912.

up right into the face of Bowser the
Hound. Poor Jerry. After all his trials
and troubles was this to be the end
Do you wonder that just for second
he was too frightened to move? Then
he did the thing that all his life he
had been in the habit of doing In times
of danger-he dived. At least that is
what he tried to do.
Alas! The water was barely deep
enough for him to swim, and diving was
quite out of the question. He merely
bumped his nose on the bottom, and
bumped 1t hard. Bowser the Hound
saw at once that for the first time in
all his life he had found Jerry Muskrat
where he could get at him.
Bow, WOW. WOW. Bow, wow! Wow,
WOW, WOW, VOW! -oared Bowser, dane
ing along the bank in great excitement
and threatening to jump down on
JerryS back.
Jerry squealed with fear and ran as
fast as he could where he could run.
and swimming as fast as he could
where he had to swim. Splash. Bow
ser had jumped down in the ditch right
at Jerry's heels. Then barking and
ye1ping he started after Jerry. Poor
Jerryi If ever there was frightened
Muskrat he was that enc. Not only
was he frightened but he was almos.
without hope. What chance had he
against such a great fellow as Bowser
the Hound? Moreover. he was getting
out of breeth and tired. Suddenly greas
anger swept over him. II he must be
killed he would at least die fighting.

Jerry Bluffs Bowser the
Hound.
When you are In q place that's tight
At least pretend that you viii fight.


No matter IL you know right down
in your heart that you haven't a
chance in the world just pretend that
you are not afraid. This kind of pre-
tending is called bluffng. and quite
as often as not 1t fools those who see
it. Now to look at Jerry Muslkrat you
wouldn't think that he could or would
bluff. But it was by bluff and moth
ing else that he saved himself from
Bowser the Hound, and to this day
Bowscr doesn't know it.
You remember how Jerry had start
ed along the drainage ditch across
the Green Meadows on his way back
to tho Smiling Pool. from which he had
places in that ditch there was water
enough for jerry to swim. When he
couldn't swim he ran For the FIRST
time in days his heart was light. He
was on his way back to his beloved
Smiling Pool. Though he might not
find any house left there he knew that
he could build another house, and he
is no more afraid of work than Is his
cousin, Paddy the Beaver, who. as you
know, thinks work is the greatest
pleasure in the Great World.
Being down in that ditch Jerry was
not afraid of being seen by any Of his
enemies who might happen to be abroad
on the Green Meadows. It didn't occur
to Jerry that he on his part couldn't
see them IL they happened to be about.
Somehow the water in that little ditch
gave Jerry such a feeling of confidence
that he forgot all his worries and trou-
bles. 1t wasn't deep enough to protect
him at all. but he didn't stop to- think
Of that.
SO, running and swimming. Jerry
hurried along toward the Smiling Pool
and quito forgot that there was any
body in all the Great World to be
afraid Of. You can gpess what q dread
fu1 shock It was to- Jerry to hear Q
loud snin just above him and to look

He whirlsd and with his back TO the
bank he faced Bowser.
Now Bowser was very well acQuaint-
ed with Jerry's no-account cousin. Rob
Der the Brown Rat, who lived under
the barn. Always Rcbber had run Just
as jerry had been doing. So when
Jerry whirled about and drew back his
lips. showing a wicked looking set OF
teeth. Bowser Was so surprised that
he stopped short. For the hrst time
he realized how much bigger than Rob
Der was this member of the Rat family.
Before he could make up his min9 what
to do Jerry jumped straight At him and
bit him on the tenderest part OF his
nose. Bowser yelped and fell cvsrbaek-
gard. Hastily he scrambled TO- naS
feet and up on the bank. Then he look-
ed back Jerry Muskrat was giAE1ng
up at him as II he were minded to co1ne
up after him. which. Of course. he
wasn.e Bowser barked and barkeA. but
couldn't quite make up his MIND 20
fump down in that ditch again. He had
been bluffed by Jerry Muskrat.
