RED CROSS ROLL CALL
FOR CHRISTMAS WEEK
American Public Asked to Respond With Uni
versal Membership.

Is your name written there? Wherel
On the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call,
Of course.
Beginning with Red Cross Sunday,
December Is, the entire American ma
ton will be given the opportunity dur
Ing the week Of December 16 to q to
line up for all those errands of mercy
that the bright Red Cross against
the white background has come to
symbolic.
This Is in no sense a call for funds
1t is the annual call for service. Ev-
cry member Of every household, from
the grandfather to the nursery, should
be represented on the Red Cross Serv-
Ice Flag. Only dollar memberships
are being asked for, and these are for
the calendar year Of 1919.
Everywhere throughout the four
teen Red Cross divisions the week will
be celebrated as a rededication to per-
sonal service and self sacrifice. No
matter what may be the immediate task
ahead, there are bound to be increas-
~~Ae uSAhohu0 lhuuC OIl luc nCO SIOSS
during the coming year. and every
American, whether here or in foreign
parts, has his part 70 play.
Through the Divisions every Chap
ter, and through the Chapter every
Branch and Auxiliary will spread the
Red Cross Message and endeavor to
enroll every person in every COM
munity. Already the membership in
this national organization has grown
from some few hundred thousand in
1915 to more than twenty millions since
our own country entered the world
war. There are no limits set for the
1913 Christmas enrolment Every
American everywhere is the hoped
for goal.
Programs subject to local conditions
will be arranged for the week, based
on suggestions worked out by national
campaign managers at Headquarters.
On Roll Call Sunday the Red Cross
message will be preached from every
pulpit, and all church meetings will
arrange special programs Of Bed Cross
activities.
With the cooperation Of local art
lists, every community will be deco
rated with Red Cross posters. Pastors
will be used on all packages sent out
from the stores during Roll Call week,
and the movies will show films pictur-
ing the various Red Cross agencies at
home and abroad "For All Human
ity" shows scenes taken on the actual
battlefield. There will also be Wo-
mems day, club programs on Red
Cross, special exercises in the Red

NO FIXED QUOTAS FOR 1919.

So great is the faith Of the American
Red Cross in the American people that
no quotas have been assigned to Red
Cross Chapters for the enrolment of
members in the Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call. Universal membership is
the goal. Chapters are limited only
by the number Of people In their ju-
r:sdictions. The Roll Call will be fin
ished only when every available per-
son, without regard to age or sex, has
been enrolled. Children may Join only
through the Junior Red Cross Auxilia.
ries, and their membership dues are
twenty-five cents a year. The chief
aim in enrolling is not to raise money
but to increase the membership. Spe-
cial emphasis Is laid upon the regular
membership at $1.O0 per year, but priv
ilege will be given to enroll a. Con-
tributing Member at $500, Sustaining
Member at $1,000, Life Member st
5000 or Patron at $4,000.

Cross workrooms, Employees day
(when special tribute will be paid to
the contribution made by the laboring
mani, the week ending with q general
Cleanup" day, when every person in
the community not yet enrolled Will
again be personally solicited for mem
bership.
1t is believed that some time during
the week at least one performance Of
the masque, "The Roll Call" especial.
ly written by Mr.. Percy Mackaye, with
stage settings designed by Robert Ed
mond Jones, will be given in every
community. This has but twelve
speaking parts and is arranged espe-
cially for community presentation.
with men, women and children in the
pantOmime parts. 1t can be given
either elaborately or very simply, as
conditions warrant. In it's dramatic
theme 1t expresses the emancipation
of the human spirit from tyranny
through the humanizing agency Of the
American Red Cross. Copies Of the
masque, as we'll as directions for cos
| tuning and incidental music, can be
secured at Red Cross Headquarters in
every town and city.
One Of the most novel and interest
Ing features Of the campaign promises
to be the One-day and One-Hour plan
Of enrolment. This consists of divid-
ing the community into units Of one
hundred houses, the idea being to have
sufficient workers to canvass these
homes practically simultaneously,
sort Of "home stretch" distributing
the work among many with q mini
mum of time consumed by each.
The official uniform worn by Roll
Call workers will be cap and arm
brassard. These are to be made of
red flannel and small paper circle In
white will carry the Red Cross EN-.
blem. This uniform will serve both as
protection against the INSCRIPTIONS and
as an aid to the workers themselves.
Corporations, business firms and IN
dustries will be supplied with 1909,
Service flag.
There will be no Christmas sale Of
tuberculosis seals this year. Instead,
the Red Cross has made a direct ap-
preparation of $2,5O0,00O for this work.
and ten seals will be awarded each
person who joins the Roll Call as
reminder of the very important work
being done by the National Tubercu-
loSis Association.
Wars may come and wars may 60.
but the Red Cross goes on forever.
VIII you not be among the first to
place your name on the 1919 member
ship roll?

2EPLANTING THE
WAR FORESTS

England and Scotland are pre-
Iparing to replant forests which
have been cut to provide war
supplies. They are not waiting
until peace is concluded, but are
doing it now. Never before have
those countries been so bare Of
timber. Hunting ranges and
sprotning grounds have been
sacrificed to supply munition
factories at home and armies
abroad. The old forests were
primarily ornamental and incl
dentally useful, but those which
are now being deliberately pro-
vided for will be primarily use
full and incidentally ornamental,
says Robert H. MoultoR in the
January Popular Mechanics Mag
azine.
In the United States we are
not in so much need of tree
planting as they are in the Brit
ish Isles. But there are two kinds
/ of timber which the war demand
has greatly depleted, and they
are kinds of much Importance
locust and black walnut.
There is another point to be
considered in the planting Of
these trees: They can be grown
on sandy tracts of land which
are now considered Of no value,
and thus reclaim this land.
An excellent illustration of
what can be accomplished in the
way of reclaiming useless land
through the planting Of trees
has been carried out during the
last six or eight years by resi-
dent of Whiteside county, Ill. In
these years he has accomplished
the seemingly impossible task Of
turning some 70 acres of sand,
formerly as barren as the desert
|of Sahara, into a flourishing for
lest. Nor is that all; for this for
lest, acting as a sand binder, has
been the means of saving other
fertile acres from the inroads Of
the drifting sand, the total re-
suit being that the farm has in
icreased several times in value.
The sandy tracts, which, before
being planted to trees, were prac-
|tically worthless, are now worth
anywhere from $50 to 500 an
acre- - -
