EVERY FAMILY'S
EVERY MEMBER
RED CROSS UNIT
Nothing Short of 100 Per Cent
Membership to Be COnsid-
cred in Roll Call
ARMY STILL IN THE FIELD
Red Cross One Organization
Whose Work Does Not End
With Close of War

Every family a Red Cross auxiliary
and every member Of every family a
Red Cross unit is the goal for which
the Christmas roll call of the Red
Cross will strive in Burleigh county.
Burleigh hopes to treble it's present
membership, and reports which are
coming from rural districts would indi-
cate that this aspiration may easily
be realized. Bismarck, of course, will
do it's part, as it has in every call
that has been made upon it.
The Red Cross is one organization
which does not desIobilize when war
ends It's work is never finished.
Wherever there is need for mercy,
for charity, for succOr the Red COss
is ready, as ready in times OF peace
as in times of war. Burleigh county
people share this knowledge with 9th
er American citizens and the Christ
mas roll.cal1 will find the mready.
Regan on the Job.
Chairman A. S. Garnes OF Regan
gave an inkling Of the sentiment
which exists outside of Bismarck
when he called up b. r. Jones, county
chairman, last evening with request
for more supplies. Last year. said
Mr.. Garnes, "our total membership
was a trifle less than 100. This year
we're not going to be satisfied with
anything less than 300.
r. A. Tracy is general chairman for
Bismarck. He has hammered togeth-
er the finest machine that has ever
gone out on a capital city war work
canvass. There is no limit, 70 what
! such an organization can achieve. 1t
would not be safe to even suggest a
maximum for the Bismarck roll call.
Chairman Tracy isn't making any pre-,
dictions. Any goal that he set would
be showed under early in the game.
That has been the history Of every
Bismarck drive. H.
