RED CROSS PIG CLUB

The county agent in Carroll county, Mississippi, started out last winter to combine pork pro- duction and Red Cross work. He tried to get 2500 people each to raise one pig to be known as Red Cross pig. 1n- stead of 2,500 members. he got 5000 in a county that has only 1900 voters. In September the club members are to send 5000 hogs to the St. Louis mar ket This will mean contri. button estimated at Sl0,000 to the Red Cross, in addition to more pork for the country and more money for Carroll county. A $25 registered pig is given each month as prize to the member whose pig has made the greatest gain.

1889, at Greeley Co., Neb. and died at
his home near Fenwick, Dec. IL, 1918.

one speaks a good word for him. In
matters of the soul, we leave it with

their loss, his wife, his father and
mother, four sisters, four brothers

RED CROSS is
/. TO DISTRIBUTE 200
CHRISTMAS BASKETS
DOLLAR AND A HEART CAM
PAIGN NOT MEETING WITH
THE SUCCESS 1T SHOULD

The local branch of the Red Cross
society are right on the job this year
and are taking hold cf the relief and
Christmas charities work in this city
and lot of the nscney which has
been donated to the work of the or
ganiZaion will be used right within
sight of your own home, according to
the plans which the. ladies are carry
ing out.
The real need of this work was
brought to the attention of the ladies
of cur Red Cross branch when they
decided to make their house to house
canvass for the enrolling of every
person in the city in the Christmas
Roll Call, as all person needs is
heart and a dollar. But at some of
the places the ladies visited they did
not have the dollar, although their
hearts were big for the success of the
canvass and they would have given a
hundred of the cart wheels If they
would have had them and it is to a
lot of homes where the people are de-
serving but in cifcumstances which
will permit of no extras fer the dinner
on Christmas, that the Red Cross
ladies are going to carry a basket of
something extra this Christmas and
incidentally it will bring right home
to us the real good which your money
dees when little of it finds it's way
into the treasury of the association
which has done so much for the relief
of suffering humanity throughout the
world.
The baskets will be arranged for and
filled by the following Red Cross COM
mittee. Mrs. Agnes Demorest. chair
man, Mrs. Verne Brown, Mrs. Bert
Rowley, Mrs. Asa Dorr, Mrs. Rose
Howard, Mrs. Fred Sanborn and Mrs.
Fred Boyer.
This grand organization, which has
taken such an important part in the
worlds work SENS especially fitted
for this home task and the fact that
they are handling it is an assurance
that it will be done right. The Red
Red Cross states that the baskets will
be placed where needed and that they
will foot the bills this year.
In spite of the fact that the Red
Cross society is known by all to be
greatest agency for relief in exist
ance at the present time, the ladies
whoN are making the house to house
Christmas Roll Call canvass state that
there are many who turn a feat ear
to the necessity of enrolling and re-
fuse to come across with the dollar
which would carry their membership
in the greatest organization of its
kind in the world today, for the per-
iod of whole year. In other words
these peoplehave no heart, but they
have the dollar and lot mere like it
and they are going to hang on to it.
Bedding has no reason for not being
able to return a 100 per cent member
ship other than the fact that some
of our people can not see the right
light and come across with the dol
lar, which might eventually find its
way to doing something which would
carry relief to the giver or to some Of
his dear ones at scme future time.

herself.
His letter is as follows.

LOCAL FLU BAN NOT
TO BE OFF FOR SUNDAY

In conversation with City Health
Officer Little we learned that the pro-

raised by Sunday are very small and
that it is doubtful If the ban will be
taken off to allow of Christmas SER
vices being held in the churches of the
city, although the flu was on the de-
crease and that a meeting would be
held by the authorities on Friday
night to determine further action in
checking the spread of the epidemic.
