ONE DOLLAR.

The American Red Cross Society started it's Christ
mas drive today The purpose of the drive to renew old
membership subscriptions and obtain as many new ones
possible The society expects the money obtained from
this campaign will be sufficient with what it now has in
the treasury to carry it through the coming year without
further solicitation of funds.
The membership fee for an adult is one dollar, no
more and no less and to quote an ancient MAXIM "Its
cheapness recommends it," In fact dollar is little
to pay for the privilege of being enrolled as member Of
this great organization that the average human being feels
almost ashamed to offer it. e.
The labors of this kindly mother of mankind dur
ing the need not be reheased They written
millions of grateful hearts What is perhaps less well
appreciated is the amount of civilian work to which the
society has broadened out as the resuo its war actv
tes The Red Cross has, matter of fact become
of the most effective agencies in the various branches of
social service which this country can offer.
For the sick and suffering, the poor and needy at
home well abroad this society will labor with
abated energy in peace it has in war. That these
heroic abo may be carried on unhampered by any petty
financial strngency should be matter of principle to
every American 1t costs just one dollar for every in
dvdua to show his appreciation of and pride in belong
ing to this greatest agent of humanity Never before has
a dollar bought SO much.
There should be stampede to obtain this bargain
in mercy and hepfulness.

 ALCAZAR THIS WEEK
Gigantic Two Hundred Thousand Dollar Production With Multi
 tude of Climaxes

Theater-goers of 10 years ago will re- member what gigantic sensation the
 stage production of The Whip" was. Thousands must have since wished the story could be told in motion pictures,
 and to those thousands it will be inter- esting news to learn that this has been
 done. The result is one of the biggest sensations in motion pictures ever pre- sented. The production will be seen at
 the Alcazar theater all next week.
 The picture cost over $20O,000 and re- auired eight months work by an expert
 and staff of assistants with an all-star cast of seasoned motion picture artists
 It was tremendous task to present this wonderful story in all it's exciting real ism. yet there will be none who will deny it is well done.
 The Whip is not a production with few big scenes, but multitude of tre mendous climaxes following one another
 ia rapid sequence from the beginning of
 the production to the last foot of film. The hunt scene with 200 dogs and a hun dred daring riders tearing across country. leaping stone walls and high fences; the wild ride in the racing auto with it's brakes damaged over the steep and sharp turning mountain road; the explosion and total destruction of the car, with it's occupants pinned under the burning wreckage; the horror of two girls locked for the night in the Chamber of Hor- TOTS in the Eden Musee; the wreck of the Saratoga express while travelling at the rate of 75 miles an hour: the exciting race for fortune while thousands of spectators storm the course. are but some of the many gigantic thrills that fill the production of "Fhe Whip"
