Letters Sent Over State Yes terday Telling of Details
 of Campaign

Plans for the Red Cross bull sale to be held here on July have been com pleted and the local committee yester- day sent letters to each Red Cross chapter in Alabama explaining the plans and purposes of the sale. Local bull clubs are being organized and the indications are that the sale will be a. most successful affair and the Red Cross benefit therefrom to the extent of tens of thousands of dollars. The following is a copy of the letter sent out yesterday:
 Here is the opportunity for your local chapter to increase its maintcn- ance fund by very considerable amount and also to do your county an immeasurable service
 "F. I. Derby, of Ward, Ala, has been successful in securing from various patriotic breeders all over the United States fifty high class registered Short horn bulls. These bulls are to be sold at auction at Birmingham July 3, the gross proceeds of the sale going to the Red Cross
 Dean Curtis, of Ames, Iowa, will judge the bulls and they will be sold in order as judged. Proceeds of the sale of the grand champion bull will go to the local Birmingham chapter of the Red Cross. Proceeds from the sale of the others will go to the local chapters of the counties in which the purchasers live.
 The purpose Of this letter is to urge your local chapter to begin immedi- ately organizing as many clubs as pos sible for the purpose of purchasing these bulls
 The more bulls bought in your county the larger will be the fund for your local chapter and the greater benefit to your county from the improvement to your live stock.
 These clubs can be formed among your farmers. stock growers and patri- otic citizens, and each club should raise fund for the purpose of bidding ia this sale. The disposal of the pulls after purchase, will be left entirely with the clubs.
 AS to the quality of these bulls, no better assurance can be given than to say that they have been inspected and approved by field representative of the American Shorthorn Breeders as sociation, the strongest organization of it's kind in the world
 Remember there are sonly 50 bulls Don't let your chapter and your county lose. Get to work enthusiastically for the good of both. Any additional in- formation you may need will be Dromptly supplied by us."

COUPLE HELPS RED CROSS
In MEMORY OF TWO SONS

San Deigo. Cal, Aug. 3.-Recently
at local Red Cross headquarters two
elderly people appeared before the
secretary and asked for two member
ship cards in the names of their two
dead children.
The man explained falteringiy that
their children had been dead for
almost thirty years and during that
time a bank into. which they had put
their small coins for saving had never
been touched. The old couple had
never intended to remove the money.
But the Red Cross needs this
money to help our boys win this war"
said the old gentleman. II know my
boys would be at the front IL they
were alive"
