A Birthday Letter to the Vi
las County Chapter of the
American Red Cross
Meaty and Shows You
Your Duty.

The following interesting letter
to c. H. Wiegand, secretary OF
the Villas County Chapter of the

tribute to the members of that
society, insomuch that it is

ments of the boys, who when
sick or wounded in the fight for
democracy in France. are able to
be ministered to by the Ameri-
can Red Cross = the greatest
humanitarian society in the
world.

ured testimonials so eloquent of the
spirit Of service which awakened in
our land in April 1917-tell us that

the cry for help and, banded together
as followers of the cross thev went
to the rescue-the same month that
General Pershing and his bows sailed
away to a blackened and saddened
land, to a battlefield for us.
The great work that is being accom-
plished by the Villas County Chapter
is doing much to legalize our right to
be known as truly great people; as
