THE LOYALTY MEETING

A good sized crowd attended the Pat
riotic Mass Meeting at Neider's hall
last Friday evening. J. V Quinlan
presided. A fine talk was given by
Rev. A. l.. Buytaert on Liberty Day.
Principal G. P. Junkman gave short
but good address on Ideals of Liberty.
Atty. Paul Winters of Shawano was
the speaker of the evening Atty. Win
ters, although of German descent, has
devoted considerable of his time to
patriotic work and gave very good
address and was given close attention
throughout the address. He reviewed
the causes that led on to the war and
showed that everyone was loyal, or dis
loyal that there could be no middle
way. He gave reason after reason
why all should be loyal and support
the government. A vocal number by
the teachers made a hit with the
audience and they were forced to re-
spond with an encore.

RED CROSS DRIVE
TO START SOON

Practically every chapter in the state
is organized for the Red Gross drive
which will open in Wisconsin on May
20 and continue through May 27. There
are sixty mine chapters in the state,
and in many cases these are the same
organizations as have been engaged in
war work since it's initiation. In many
cases, too, the organizations are better
than in the last drive because some of
them have become permanent, with
organizations reporting to the chapters
from the townships and villages.
Wisconsin's allotment in the drive
will be 81, 500, 900 with $700,000 of this
allotted to the city of Milwaukee.
The needs of the Red Cross are too
well known to be chronicled here. The
good the Red Cross does is worthy of
repetition over and over again. There
is no end to it. Ask any of the boys
who have been cover there"-they
know, and they are glad to tell The
Red Cross does the constructive health
work when "our boys" are sick or in
jured, other agencies look after their
well-being when their hospital days are
over. But it is to the Red Cross that
they make their first plea for health.
Mothers and fathers with boys at the
front know this, and, while it would
seem 70 be the duty of those who have
not given one of their own to be the
first subscribers to Red Cross, it is in
almost every case, the parent who is
the first to give. This is because the
parents know-and you know and
know.

that the publishers have been over

statements made about soaring prices
of paper, ink, labor and equipment.
