Under the slogan Every School q
Red Cross Auxiliary and Center foI
National Service" the Junior Red
Cross has perfected plans for the en-
rollment of every school child in the
United States as a member Of a Red
Cross Auxiliary, the date Of the cam
paign being from Lincoln's birthday
February 12, to Washington's birth
day, February %.
The Junior Red Cross is q branch
Of the American Red Cross through
which every school in America Is CIV
en- the opportunity to carry on author
lied Red Cross work by forming q
School Auxiliary, upon the payment
Of twenty-five cents membership fec
for each pupil enrolled in the school
or by a pledge Of satisfactory service
in Red Cross work. 1t Is the only
agency which is approved by school
authorities to enlist the children In
patriotic work during the war. All
other organizations must work through
the medium Of the Junior Red Cross
whose services have already been re
quested by the. United States Food
Administration and by the War Saw
ings Stamp Committee, Of which
Frank A, Vanderlip is chairman.
The schools. however, are not the
only units in which School Auxiliaries
may be formed. The other educationa
units which have been recognized al
suitable centers In which to organize
Junior Red Cross work are AgricuT
tural Clubs, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire
Girls. Night Schools, Sunday School
classes and such authorized educa
tional centers as may be properly or
ganized under the supervision of the
local representatives Of the Red Cross
Chapter. ......
The United States Department o.
Agriculture has already offered to use
the Agricultural Clubs for Junior Rec
Cross work. Every child who is en-
rolled In School Auxiliary is entitled
to wear a Red Cross pin, although no.
considered regular member Of the
Red Cross. ....

Calls esfs Wrath on "Wuliish Huns"
and Brings Cheers From Members.


Rev. Billy Sunday, now in tie

opening prayer 10 the House of
Representatives instead OF the
regular chaplain, and for the
first time in history the members
cl eered and applauded the invo-
cation.
Billy's prayer was as follows:

Father. we thank Thee and re-
joice that through faith in Thee
and Thy,Word this government
was built upon that foundation:
I'VE thank Thee that the COM
pact signed in the cabin OF the

for democracy, liberty, freedom
and the right to worship Thee ac-
cording to the dictates of our
own conscience.
"We thank Thee that as q ma

claim to the world our continued
belief in Thee, stamping on our

"Thou knowest, o Lord, that
we are in q life and death struggle
with one OF the most Infamous,
vile, crazy avaricious, blood
thirsty, sensual and vicious ma

pages OF history.
Thou knowest that Germany

kind enough tears to make an
other sea; that che has drawn en-
ough blood to redden every wave
OF that sea; that she has drawn
enough groans and shrieks from
the hearts OF men, women and
children to make another noun
I'VE pray Thee that Thou will
make bare Thy mighty ann and
beat back that gr, at pack OF
wolf.h Huns whose fangs drip
with blood and gore. We pray
Thee that the stars in theircour-
Ss may fight against them.
"We pray Thee that Thou wit

 In addition Co his other work, Ru- dolph also acted as salesman until 1912, and then he hired J. C. Jayne 10 help him out and in 1913 he hired a third man for this work. In May, 1913, Rudolph moved from the Wash rngton street place to 316 East Adams, mto a building 50x13S. About year later it was found necessary to make an addition 10 the shop, and another twelve months found another addi- ton necessary. The present building is COOKIES feet and with the gallery represents about 30,000 square feet of tloor space

 growth of 421OO square feet in eight years
 Mir. Rudolph early recognized what has since been unquestionably ac- cepted by every business man in the country. that the Ford car is the best car Go buy, irrespective of cost, de- sign or principle.
 Every essential feature is a stand ardized part, approved and recog- nized as the topmost development in modern automobile construction. Of course. simplicity and mechanical per lection has had a great deal to do with the record of the sales of Ford cars in the Salt River valley, but back of each Ford sale is the Rudolph ser vice organization, with the interest of every Ford owner as its policy. Ser vice has become a much used but greatly abused term.

 But go down tonight and find out for yourself. The inspection of the establishment will be worth while and there will be plenty of amusement during the evening. The Riverside Park management has virtually turned the park over to MT. Rudolph. Here his guests will have everything their own way. For those who wish to dance the floor will be theirs.

CAPABLE MEN HELP
 RUDOLPH; BUSINESS
 RUN ON FORD BASIS

Ed Rudolph has gathered about him an organization of men of indispens- able experience, men who have grown from the ground up in the Ford business, and these are the men who are putting into Ford service in the Salt River valley, the best that their life experience has produced.
 That is why the Rudolph Ford agency of Phoenix dominates the en- tire field of automObiledOm in this valley. It rests squarely on value received. the result of accumulative experience gained by years of prac- tical service.
 DORE AN ABLE MAN
 r. J. Dore. assistant manager, re- gently came to Phoenix from the Los Angeles branch of the Ford Motor company. MT DOre has been with the Ford company for several years as chief clerk. auditor and installer of Ford systems.

 hicles. before he finally decided to handle these tires. They proved their quality to Ed Rudolph personally he did not take the other fellows word for them; this, not because he doubted, but because it is his policy to try out everything himself before offering it to his customers.
 Mir Dore showed something like an investment of S2O,OOO in Ford parts alone, when he took The Republican man through the building. Another big item exhibited was accessories, this stock being worth about $20.000.

quisite to real maintenance service is stability. To give the right kind of service an agency must have not only the financial, but the moral ability to insure the fulfillment of it's promises.
 The Rudolph idea of service, (and it goes with every article sold from his establishment,) is an intelligently directed cooperative effort to make every article sold. give as near 100 per cent efficiency as it is possible for human effort to accomplished make every buyer satisfied in having bought from Ed Rudolph.

SIMPLICITY

The chassis of all Ford cars are the same-only the bodies are different This concentrated effort produces only the few hundred parts of one mode and so escapes the costly mistakes and expenses which inevitably follow the scattering of efforts in the pro- duction of thousands of parts foI many or yearly models. We thus ef- feet a tremendous economy-in buy ing manufacturing and selling-be- sides in the after service that follows the sales.

The ratio of production is better than one to one comparing the Ford output with the aggregate production of the nearly two hundred other fac tories, one to one against nearly two hundred.
