of merchandise or articles of any
kind as well as to entertainments. "
FEDERAL LAW makes the misuse
of the name or emblem OF the Amer
ican Red Cross a misdemeanor and
provides a penalty of fine of $500
and Imprisonment up to one year.
Others not familiar with the ruling
would do well to remember this. The
reason is very obvious. Unscrupu-
lous dealers and others, not having
the interest of the Red Cross at
heart, could very well afford to di-
vide the profits just for the advan-
tage IL would give them in increased
business because of the name of the
Red Cross and the tendency OF the
people to patronize to the limit any
thing for the Red Cross cause. This
was not the case. however, with Mr..
Spangler. He has been very liberal
to the Red Cross and his offer to di-
vide the profits was made in the
same spirit of generosity that has
prompted his other gifts. He readily
understood when II was explained to
him, why the American Red Cross
could not permit its name and en-
blem, which is respected by all ex-
cept the Hun, to be commercialized.

The very fact that the farmer Is not
Immediately in touch with war makes
the danger more imminent. Russia

very little OF what the war over there

machine collapsed. Support our

Refugees Are Freed
Refugees are being sent back from
several towns after remaining in

occupation.
The two banks in the city were
looted by the enemy. Practically all
the houses were plundered. lnhab-

smashing thru heavy belts of barbed
