Echoes of the Red Cross Campaign
In North Dakota and Other States

For some reason Kief, N. D., wa
overlooked by Red Cross drive work
ers until Dec. %. Then a delegation
Of business men from the town hap
pened to visit Anamoose, the near.
est large town, and came back tt
Kief inspired with the. desire OF put.
ting their village on the Red Gross
map.
They called meeting that even
ing. Three speakers from AnamOose
one who could speak in the German
language, another Russian and the
third English, drove fourteen miles
in a driving blizzard to address the
meeting. Enthusiasm waxed high
Before the meeting closed a Red
Cross auxiliary was formed with 75
members, nearly a third Of the
towns population. A peculiar char
actertstic of the Kief organization
is its division into the three ma
cannot understand the language of
the other two thirds.
Red Cross service flags in the
windows of business houses at
Saltwater, Mimi, furnish excellent
proof Of the intensity Of the mem
bership drive there. Two of the
largest firms in the city boast 100
per cent efficiency, every employe
being a member of the organization.
Practical demonstrations of sur
giCal dressings making was a feat
ure of the membership campaign at
IBemidji, Mimi, last week. The dis
play window at one of the stores
was donated for the week and free
instruction was given to any wO-
men interested in the work.
Many Victimized.
At Bozeman, Mont, members of
the Red Cross membership drive
army encountered some opposition
were working for the white Cross. IS
These solicitors sought donations,
leaving in return small articles like
tooth paste, pencils and the like.
Under the impression that they were
giving to the Red Cross many per-
sons were victimized. The Red Cross
has no connection with any such or
ganization as the white Cross" So
far as is known the white Cross"
is a private organization, formed
for individual profit.
Rev. j. Fontana, clergyman at
New Salem, n. D., indicted by the
federal grand jury charged with
seditious utteranCes, attempted to
prove his loyalty last week by ask
ing permission to organize a Red
Cross auxiliary at New Salem. Since
the Red Cross is a patriotic organi-
zation and the clergyman is under
indictment for sedition the pernis-
sion was refused.
Girls in the home economics de-
partment of the Aberdeen, S. D.,
high school completed shipment Of
Red Cross articles before beginning
their Christmas vacation. Then, on
the first days of their vacation they
enrolled as membership solicitors for
the Christmas drive.
Forty high school girls at Duluth,
Mimi, obtained more than 5000
Christmas memberships for the Red
Cross during the drive in that city.
The girls were formed in squads and
covered the downtown stores and
Office buildings. Their company was
said to be the best organized in the
entire army of Duluth workers.
Red Cross workers at Hibbing,
Mimi. sold Christmas trees this year
TO raise funds for their local chap
Ter. The trees were donated to the
Red Cross by husbands of the wo-
men workers and found a ready
sale.
