OFFICIAL RED CROSS NOTES

HluSL shake US 10 Ine very 1OuHud-
tions. True we have given to oursel-
YES by buying Liberty Bonds, true
we have given to ourselves by buying
War Savings Stamps This is invest
ing our savings in the best bank in
the world, the Treasury of the United
States, and what we save will come
back to us with interest. What we
give to the Red Cross is our part of
the fight against frightfulness, and
we can do our fighting in the arm
chair in the security of our own home.
What we give to help to clothe the
soldier in the hospital, and in the gar
ments he wears when fighting, and
the surgical dressings we help to pur-
chase and to make, is after all a
small part compared with the sacri-
flee that the soldier is ready to make
that we, who sit at home, may be
free and unmolested by the unspeak-
able Hun.
The Needs Are Great
Every little bit helps, so try to
think of some way that you can, help
to raise funds to carry on the great
work of the Red Cross.
Some of our members are selling
their surplus vegetables, some are
making extra money with their nee
dies, others are giving small enter
tainments to raise funds.
We have quite list to publish
this week in our honor roll. GO thou
and do likewise"
