ANOTHER GOOD INVESTMENT

A7E paid out some Red Gross money a w while back. Paid it out---and forgot it. That's how much it hurt Might not be bad idea to take a look at what that money has been doing.
 That money went, dollar for dollar, where it did full days work, wherever it was.
 Three cents of it may have had the honor of disinfecting with iodine the three torn wounds of an American soldier on the French front. Or it may have had the less noble re- sponsibility of pinning warm flannel belly band around six-years-od Antoine out back of Noyon.
 No use,---we can't figure this Red Cross task in cents worth.
 There's the whole path of ruin from Bel gium to Switzerland, just to visualize one thing at a time. If your Red Cross money went there it very likely provided pots and pans, food and clothes, beds and blankets, for the repatriated people.
 Three years ago these people were pros porous and contented- seH-respecting, steady, saving, hardworking, everyday, srrall-town citizens.
 Now they have the "earth under them and the sky thern''--not one thing else.
 It's for you to say whether this great work of mercy shall stop.
 It's for your voice to say whether your Red Cross shall falter now or sweep onward, greater and more elpful than ever before.
 And it's your dollars that must answer.
