RED CROSS DRIVE
To START MAY 70
Apportionment For County
Has Been Increased, City
Quota $4,000.

Because Of the addition Of three
townships. Harris, Madison and
Penn, Mishawaka's apportionment
in the next Red Cross drive which
starts May 90 and will continue TO
May 81. has been increased to 500
600. This is also due TO the fact that
the state quota has been increased
"a percent since Indiana came into
recognition as a plus Red Cross
state. The allotment for st. Joseph
county is 100000.
The quotas were made up by a
Joint committee Of the South Bend
and Mishawaka chapters and were
based on population, the population
basis for the county being approx
mately 81 per capita. Such items as
assessed valuation of real and per-
sonaI property and bank deposits
were also taken into consideration.
The Mishawaka apportionment is
the total amount to be raised in all
the territories covered by the chap
ter and its auxiliaries.
Quotas for each Of the townships
are as follows: Penn. outside Of
Mishawaka. $4,000; Harris, s72S;
Madison. $4,000. and the city II
Mishawaka, $4,000. The quota of
Mishawaka last year was $4,000
and the increase for the county is
80 percent. The townships are some
what newer Red Cross territory.
hence their appointments are
made smaller than their population
and real and personal property
would indicate their natural quota
TO be.
Horton Made Chairman.
The various chairmen Of commit
tees with their assistants are being
appointed by the local chairman, d.
w. Horton. who was named by the
state war fund director. Charles r.
Coffin of Indianapolis. Headquarters
will be located in the vacant Eber-
hardt store building at 121 Lincoln
way f.
A year ago the nation raised the
first Red Cross war fund Of $780,
600. 900. That amount has all been
used up in the tremendous work the
Red Cross has been called upon TO
do. To keep up the great work Of
war rescue, relief and reconstruc-
ton for the morale Of our allies and
our own lighting men. the second
Red Cross war fund will be launch
ed Monday. May 20. Pres't Wilson,
who is also the president of the Red
Cross. has called upon the American
people for the second fund OF $780,
600. 900. knowing that the response
q no hall
ing.
The Red Cross war fund is an in
violable fund. Every penny of every
dollar goes only for war relief, and
I the care OF wounded soldiers. The
Red Cross war fund IS one hundred
and two percent efficient. For every
dollar paid in and put at interest
s102 has been spent for war work.
Not one cent OF this sacred fund can
be used for campaign or any other
/ expenses.
The war fund is the working fund
/ OF the Red Cross. II is the main
tenance fund for hospitals, nurses
care of the wounded, and relief OF
starved women and children. and
/ the reconstruction OF devastated
| lands II is a fund which mothers
all the great causes OF mercy in
volved in the war. Every man
should give TO the Red Cross war
fund until his heart says stop. be-
cause the Red Cross stands in the
place Of a mother on the battle
| fields OF Europe.

BILL TO ABOLISH TAX
RECEIVERS IS LOST

ATLANTA, Ca, July 188.-Afterr
long discussion of the bill of Culpep
per Of Meriwether, providing for the
adjustment of the Office of tax re
ceiver in the various counties, tn
bill was lost yesterday in the house.
This was one of three bills of gener-
al interest, the others being the bill
providing for the election of superio
court Judges and solicitors by tn
individual circuits, and that bill re
curing all adults to work or figh
already passed By the senate. TIL
bill about the election of judges wa
tabled, and the work or fight'' bill
was carried over until Wednesday
morning, as it developed that severa
amendments would be offered, ant
that long discussion was probable.
One of these amendments woulc
make the bin apply to all strikers.
Joe Hill Hall, Of Bib, the champion
objector of the legislature, sugge
that the bill was unconstitutional
thereby provoking the retort tina
ito Joe Hill Hall all bills are uncon-
stitutional."
Another bill in which there will b
general interest was that introduces
yesterday providing for the doubling
of pay for members of the Assembly
That the legislators are feeling the
high cost of living is very apparent
because the bill asks that the perdien
pay be raised from 81 to So for thu
members and from 81 to $12 for thu
speaker of the house and the presiden
of the Senate,
The absent voters bill now pending
will be made a special order Of tn

HARRIS CONFIDENT
OF HIS NOMINATION

ATLANTA Ga, July 18.-William
Harris returned yesterday to Atlanta
after visit to twenty counties in
middle and south Georgia, and he
was full of confidence as a result of
his visit.
He declared that Howard hasen't a
chance to win, and that if he with
draws from the race, the votes of one
hundred and fifty of the counties of
the state will elect Harris himself.
Mr.. Harris said that from the be-
ginning he has conducted his race on
the highest plan possible, has indulg-
ed in no mudslinging as Howard has
done, andStha the people of the state
have indicated there preference for
himself. He said also that Howard
is only serving Harrdwick's Interests
by fighting the ch0iceS OF the people.
Friends of Mr. Harris contend tina
Howard canEo, carry twenty-five
counties in the entire state, and tina
Farris will carry every county in tn
first, second, seventh and eleventh
districts; not lose more than two in
the twelfth. nor rcre than three in
the fourth district. They concede a
loss of possible three in the eight
district, and two in the sixth; and
expect Harris to carry every one in
the third district except Shaw's home
county.
According to Harris supporters, the
race has now developed to the point
where Howard is negligible factor.
Mr.. Harris himself says that the
people of Georgia have awaken to the
Importance of the senatorial race, and
loyalty and patriotism by voting for
them. 2 q, ss& {

NO SUFFRAGE FOR
GEORGIA WOMEN YET

ATLANTA, Ca, July 18.--The Geor
gia Legislature has not yet reached
the point where it is willir to grant
suffrage to the women of the state;
but it is leaning in the right direction.
This was proven yesterday when Re-
representatives. Ball, of Newton and Nc
Brory Of Schley, introduced bill in
the house providing that women may
become deputies to clerks of the city
court.
1t is believed that sentiment in ia
vor of suffrage for woman is GROWN
in the state legislative body, and the
splendid achievements and service
women along the lines of war wor'
may result in he granting Of the vote
at an earlier date than could hav
been expected a few years age.

not consistent with the needs Of the

Another thing urged by the board
is that foreign purchasers be Undue
