RED CROSS PLANS
FOR COMING DRIVE
Questions on Fund Answered
by Committee-JameS
Kennedy Chairman.

Red Cross committee headquar-
tiers handed out the following for
publication Thursday morning:
Many questions about the second
Red Cross war fund are being asked
and since an understanding of these
points are very important to the
drive. they should be answered.
What is the Red Cross war fund
for is a frequent question asked.
The Red Cross war fund is a fund
used for war relief only. 1t is the
fund which maintains thousands of
nurses, ambulance drivers and am
balances, field stations. hospitals,
medical supplies, Red Cross trains.
and all the work done in saving the
refugee and strafed people in the
war zones. The war fund is for
the three big RS" of the Red Cross
military rescue, war relief, and re-
construction.
The question is, will there be a
membership drive following the
war fund drive. The membership
drive has been postponed until De-
cember upon advice from Washing
lOn lIldl the udllOlldA VI EdlilIdllOl
wishes all memberships to be an
nual memberships for the calendar
year beginning next December.
Those whose magazine subscriptions
run out in May or June should re-
new at once TO receive the magazine
continuously.
Contributions Voluntary
What am l expected to give? This
is a question which is wisely left 10
the individual. One should give
what he feels ne should considering
what he can give. Contributions TO
the Red Cross are voluntary. All
pledges and gifts will be published
The quota for Mishawaka is $4,000.
for Penn township. outside of Mish-
awake, $4,000; for Madison, $4,000,
and for Harris. S72S. The quota OF
the state was increased "a per cent
over last year. and the quota of the
county is so per cent more than
last year, so that the appOrtionment
of Mishawaka is 80 per cent more
than last year. Giving TO the Red
Cross is the real test Of a mans
loyalty. because the Red Cross is the
greatest of all war funds. Men may
differ in religion, and in politics and
business, but the Red Cross is the
touch Of humanity and mercy that
makes the whole world kin: it is
the one thing that makes US all
touch elbows just as they do in the
trenches over there. The Red
Cross stands for humanity. Anyone
who refuses to subscribe to the Red

reason on the back of the pledge
card where il calls for remarks.
When Will the drive start? The
drive will start Monday morning
throughout the Mishawaka chapter.
and by l. o'clock the $4,000 viii
be raised. Everyone is 10 expect
and prepare in advance for the call
OF the Red Cross worker Monday
morning No Red Cross worker is
TO take an assignment of territory
or work more than he can finish by
noon. and every worker who con-
sents TO make a canvass must do so
only under condition that he will
start over the top" Monday morn
ing not later than o'clock.
Another drive next Monday.
When are these drives going TO let
up? Who says that when all Amer
tea and the world holds its breath
now over the coming drive on the
western front? The Hun has been
driving against our allies and boys
over there for two months. and dur
ing the first week of the drive on
the 50-mile front as many as 90
traiLloads OF wounded were sent
back every day, and 1900 British
soldiers never were sent back. but
were left lying on the Somme bat
tlefeld.
\ Rare Privilege.
Why does not the government do
this work? The government can
not do the work although il might
appropriate the money. it could not
possibly do the work. The work is
done far better than the government
could do It Who wants the govern
ment TO do our work? The govern
ment cannot find time to do all it
has TO do now. Helping the Red
Cross is one of the rare privileges
that we have of helping win the
war
The Red Cross must be extrava-
CANT and inefficient to require so
much money for it's work. Where
does all the money go TO The Red
Cross war fund is 102 per cent eff
1cient. For every dollar collected
and put at interest, S1.02 is spent
for war relief None Of the leaders
of the Red Gross are paid salaries,
all Of them being dollar-a-year men.
The only salaries paid this side of
the water are paid for clerical help
and TO assistants. Millions of our
Red Cross war fund have been spent
with our allies in Belgium, France,
Italy. Great Britain and formerly
Russia. Why should we not invest
millions in the Red Cross work in
these countries to strengthen their
morale. and increase their fighting
stamina They have been fighting
out battles, and If we cannot do a
little Red Cross work for their
wounded soldiers and broken peo-
pie. we should be classed as Il bunch
OF clackers. We need them now Just
as much as they need us.
A meeting will be called in the
office OF James Kennedy, Friday
night, who is chairman of Penn

MARKET YOUR WHEAT
BEFORE MAY 18th,

State Food Administrator a. D. Will
son. in a letter dated March 23rd. again
appeals to us to be very conservative
with our wheat from now on until
after the new wheat comes in. He
points Ou that IF we are to send to the
allies what they have right to expect
of wheat -four to less than so per cent
normal. 1t looks now as though we
could have about pounds Of wheat
flour per month per person." He goes
on to say that there apparently will be
an abundance Of substitutes and that
mills are now milling barley. corn or
oats. Let us all observe the $3.50 rule
rigidly and all Of us cut down our
wheat consumption decidedly.
Mr.. Wilson states that the meat sit
uation is greatly relieved. We may
now use meat, except beef and pork on
Tuesday. wherever it will result in the
saving Of wheat. What is better than
potatoes and gravy? Use lots of them
they are abundant, dairy products,
eggs, and soon. fresh vegetables, are
plentiful.
The food administration has issued
orders to the effect that no one is to
receive more than 80 days supply of
wheat flour Bear this in mind and do
not ask your stOrekeeper for more than
that. The supply is figured at the rate
of 6 pounds of wheat -four per person
per month. If there are 6 in your
family, you will be entitled to 36
pounds of wheat -four per month. If
you now have more than this supply

WOMEN DEMANDING

New York.-An American buyer llv-
ing In New York who represents link
of retail shops that stretch across the
continent ard who is said to have
control over $1ZS,0O0,000 a year for
the purchase of women's clothes,
should be good authority on the buy
iSg power of the country. He Is. He
has gone over the entire situation as
1t confronts us, with the new year
and great war. Here is what ne
says:
1.-THE facts and figures which have
show that women in the country have
more money today than ever in our
history. Hundreds of thousands of
these women will be in a financial
position to buy the kind of clothes
they have always wanted, which. is
of the better grades, and garments
better than they have ever worm"
Now, mind you. This is the state
ment Of a man who represents that
vast merchandise that we find out
