Red Cross Notes

Tardy Omaha shoppers need not
worry about their failure to buy
Christmas gifts in October. The
best gift is to be available the week
before Christmas. There is an I'M
limited supply, and there will be no
difficulty in purchasing. The cost
is only~$1.
This gift is membership in the
Red Cross, and it is a gift to the
Omaha boys in the army and navy
as we'll as to the victims of war in
all countries. These men will inter-
pref an overwhelming enrolment of
the people as members in the Amer
lean Red Cross as guarantee~of con-
tinued service of a kind they have
leyhed to value highly.
The Red Cross Christmas roll call,
December 1923, will afford the OPP
portunity to buy this gift, and de-
livery will be made without fail on
Christmas eve in a cablegram to be
sent to General Pershing announc-
ing the united support of the ma
ton for the Red Cross policy.
What finer Christmas gift can
Omaha send? Added to every other
city and the rural districts, the en-
rollment here will make a total that
will rekindle hope everywhere peo-
pie are suffering.
Our 100000 soldiers in France,
our sailors on the high seas and
the men in training in this country
should know beyond a shadow of
doubt that they will receive every
thing-absolutely everything-in the
way of Red Cross service until the
last one is mustered out. A funi-
versal response to the Red doss
Christmas roll call will give them
such assurance. ....
If possible Omaha should enroll
every adult the first day, December
l6. At any rate. the task must be
finished before Christmas eve.
