American Red Cross Must Ha,
500. .0OO. 600 On

Knowing that each and everyone
wishes to do their part in helping to
raise the second hundred million dol
lar American Red Cross War Fund
which we must raise in order to save
all the lives possible while winning the
war, we at home must do our full du-
ty. Wishing to make a fair and just
assessment that would work no hard
ship on anyone, your committee after
due and careful consideration have
decided to ask all those having wheat
to pledge ten cent per acres of all
their wheat to this America Red Cross
War Fund. Thsi pledge to be paid
October 1, 1913. This figured on a
basis of ten bushels yield of wheat
per acre would amount to a half of
one per cent. on the dollar at the pres
ent assured Government price, those
who are not wheat farmers should
figure their donations on the same
oasis and be as liberal as possible as
all must do their full part in helping
to sustain the American Red Gross
in their great work of mercy.
Solicitors will call on you during
he week commencing May 20th.
Please do your part promptly and
we'll, your donation will help save
many lives, so please be liberal and
encourage the solicitors in every way
POSSIBLE as they are not only spending
their time but their money as we'll.
Very sincerely,
H. J. PENNEY,
Manager War Fund Campaign
