THE TlCHTWAO

Monticello Express: The few
people who refused to Join the
Red Cross and pay the dollar dues
because they had at some time
before made a little subscription
for that worldwide benevolent
enterprise are destined to lead an
uncomfortable life. They are 90
inc to be impOrtuned in the tu-
ture for subscriptions to help the
government and for various en-
terpriSeS destined to alleviate the
hardShipS of our soldiers. We
have not yet fairly started upon
the sacrifices expected of us. Ii
is going to be a distressing time
for the tiohtwadS, who have the
money, but who do not care to
give of it for the ameioration OF
human suffering. There is going
to be no rest for them. They
must not assume that when they
have driven a solicitor away or
blutted him out that they are then
sheltered from future impOrtunl-
ties. None of them Is going to be
missed on any drive undertaken
for home and country. Ii they
are grabbed and ugly about giving
they are going to have many OPP
portunitieS for showing their un-
happy dispositions to many differ
ent people. The ti9htwad should
be shown no peace. He should
not be permitted to let those OF
benevolent dispositions pay his
share of the burdens that should
be borne by all. Because a man
has gained the disposition of a
SCroo9e, that should not render
him immune from solicitation.
Do not pass him by. If he cannot
be Shamed he may at least be
tormented. Don't forget the
tl9htWad

in regard to community tight
wadS. AS the Red Cross is now
recognized by the Federal gov
ernment as a national institution.
the Ti9htWad upon a refusal can
now be arrested and dealt with
according to law. This is exactly
as it should be, and all loyal Citi-
zens should see that this is done
with the un-patriotic individual.
