RED CROSS
LOVER The TOP"
Marion Subscribes ST.
800 Over Its Appor-
tionment.

Marion county has gone over
the top with its apportionment of
Red Cross funds. Its share was
originally, $1,000, but was reduc'
ed to $4,000. The response OF
the people who are in sympathy
with the Red Cross aims was ov-
erwhelming, and the result was
$1,000, or $1,000 more than was
asked. And any number OF those
donating money are ready to dou-
BILE their subscriptions, and it's
all to help the boys" "
Marion countians will never
forget their boys" at the front,
and especially so when consider
ing the conditions under which
they left their beloved homes
Now that they have been taken
"our boys" must have supplies
with which to fight and Red
Cross aid when stricken. And
the people of Marion are going
to look closely to these two points
whether Ethey have actual rela-
tives on the firing line or not, for
all "the boys" are their boys. "
The employees of the Sequat-
chic Handle Works have done no.
ply in the matter, for we are
told that not a man has failed to
contribute, either by signing the
pledge to give four dollars, or by
agreement to give the results OF
his labor for one day.
