parade OF the battalion of the so-called foreign
legions," so that their own people may see hos
quickly and effectively they have made into first
class fighting men. Later in the afternoon there
will be competitive drill between the Slavic

The National Bohemian Alliance and the War

Der of interesting numbers TO the program. Slav
ic dances by girls in native costume, nativs

The South will raise more winter wheat than

all the winter wheat grown in this country. Tex

Throughout the West and Northwest to the

HEART AND A DOLLAR.

Your heart and dollar. That is all the Red
Cross asks for. Just one dollar for annual mem
bership in the Red Cross. 1t is not much to ask,
and it is consecrated to the cause of humanity.
Just one dollar. But that dollar stands for
your love for the Red Cross and for humanity.
This is not drive for great sum of money.
1t is just what the Christmas Slogan stands for,
A Heart and a Dollar. That is all the Red Cross
asks for.
Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United
States Public Health Service sees plenty of wor1
a head for the American Red Cross despite the
approach of permanent peace. In this connec-
ton he says:
AT no time since the American Red Cross be-
gan ministering to war-stricken world has
there been more need for it's services than at
present. Providing our soldiers and sailors with
the little comforts that cannot be supplied by
the Government, work which has always taken
precedence over every other Red Cross activity,
is as necessary now as before hostilities ceased.
tn American people justly proud of their
Red Cross and the way it has looked after the
comfort and assisted in protecting the health of
the country's fighting men. They will expect
the Red Cross to continue this care without re-
taxation of effort until the last man is back at
his own freside. Furthermore one cannot think
OF the devastation in Europe without the con-
viction that our Red Cross will have to con-
tlnue It's relief operations over there"
