Soldier Welfare Fund Being Raised
THE ONE LARGEST
SUBSCRIPTION IN
Lee County's Biggest Single Gift to
the Red Gross War Fund Comes
From jackson
Township.

The one largest single subscription
in Lee county to the Red Cross war
fund came from Jackson township, out
side yesterday.
The solicitors entered a house and
saw little girl on a bed with part OF
her body motionless from infantiie
paralysis. Her mother said they
wanted to help, but are renters and
poor and had no money. and so could
give nothing to the Red Sross.
The little girl with the notionless
limbs and the pinched face ON the bed
softly called her mother and whis-
pered in her ear and the mother soft
" replied. Then the woman with the
worries and the poverty and the
paralyzed little girl went over to a
bureau and got purse.
She upturned the purse over the
hand of a solicitor and shook out Of it
into the Red Cross war fund sfxfy-six
cents. She apologized that it was all
they had.
The solicitor said he would can it a
dollar, so the little girl on the bed
could have a badge, and the child
smiled wistfully. She said she wished
it had ben enough to get her the Red
Cross magazine. for she did want that
very much to look at in her bed. That
evening when her father came home.
he hunted up another dollar from
somewhere and took it to the town
ship chairman of the campaign. The
little girl will get her Red Cross maya
zine despite all red tape regulations
applicable to other people. and she has
her name written in big booksas the
largest single subscriber IN Lee county
to the Red Cross war fund-she and
her parents are the only persons who
gave all the money they had to the
war work fund.
