INVEST IN HUMANITY
BY JOHN OLIVER LA GORGE
Associate Editor. National Geographic Magazine

GUTTER Little Children to come unto me-" de-
- clared the compassionate Christ.
But never since He dwelt in flesh upon the earth
have there been many Little Children" in need of
compassion now.
There are the little Children" who have gone to
France for you and me and for Christendom and by
going have given their all Can you do less? Shall
you keep from your boy your neighbours boy that
which is symbolic of the Compassionate One by neg
lecting the call of the Red Cross Mother?
Then there the uncounted Little Children"
of our allies who have fallen wounded and Ill in de-
tense of their home fires Who but the Red Cross
Mother know the suffering, the anguish, of the
shell-torn, thrststricken soldier who lies upon the
ghostly bed of No Mans Land7 Will you deny him
the life-gving cup7
Think also of the Little Children" Of devastated
lands. Some are Little Children" in size and tender
years. Others, alas, are mature in stature and age
but none the less Little Children" in their helpless
ness-their abject need. Can we in plenty with
hold from them the bare bread Of existence? Can
we still inner voice with the thought that others
will bear burden when in our heart we must
know that there others?
The Red Cross helps one who does not need
help hundred times more than need the money.
Therefore, let give give until feel it, give until
it pinches. Then and only then we shall know that
we have indeed offered the Little Children" of the
war the tender compassion of q nation.

Esteemed editor and readers Of
the News:
Thursday, May 9th, | left Dali
las to visit my brother, T. S.
Bracken, and family for a few
days. At the usual hour of ar
rival Mr.. and Mrs. Bracken and
two daughters, Misses Callie and
Dorothy, met me at the station
The reason they came in such
force was to protect me from
any DESIGNING ones who might be
out looking for an easy mark.
My rescuers knew that one bleS-
sed with the good looks of their
bashful relative needed a good,
strong guard.
After attending to some bust
ness we all loaded into the ever
ready Brisco, and after a run of
a fe \ minutes we arrived at the
home of 7. S. B. Next morning
Mrs. B. Informed us that if we
expected to get any cornbread
and beans to eat some one had to
go. to mill. So corn Smelling was
in order. After noon T. S. B.
loaded the sack of corn on the
Brisco and he and myself started
to mill about ten miles away.
That was a new experience to
me, going to mill in an autOmo-
bile, but it was a success. We
went, got our meal and got back
before night. If we had gone as
| die when a boy it would have
taken all day to have made the
trip. whereas by the modern way
we got our corn and got home in
a few hours.
Saturday the Red Cross had a
sale at Arlington. Many things
donated to them brought very
good prices. | had to leave be-
fore they were half done, and
have not heard from there since,
so can't tell what they took in,
but presume they did we'll, judg-
ing from the start they were max
ing. They had everything from
peaches to a live hog. When
they would sell an article pur-
chaser would give it back to them
and they would sell it again. 1t
was the cash they wanted and it
seemed that everyone wanted
them to have the cash and the
more they got the better the buy
ers were pleased. E, eryone
realized what it was for and
wanted to holp the Red Cross,
for they are doing a noble work
in helping provide comfort for
our boys at the front and in the !
training camps. God bless the
