ANOTHER RED CROSS DRIVE

Washington, d. c., May LIST, 1918.
To the Editor:-This letter is being
addressed to you in the interest of the
American Red Cross.
Shortly after Americas entrance in
to the world conflict the American
Red Cross, through it's War Council
appointed by the President, asked of
the American people one hundred mil
lion dollars, as their first contribution
to the War Fund. That War Fund
had been decided upon as necessary to
carry through the broad plans of Eu-
ropean and American War Relief on
the scale that their need justified.
The money contributed at that time
will have been all expended by early
this summr and the accounting of this
expenditure, audited by the Govern
ment, has been given the widest pub
licity.
In order that this tremendous work
of humanity may be carried on the
President has designated the week of
May goth, 1918, as Red Cross Week,
during which the public will be ap-
pealed to for another hundred mil
lion dollar contribution.
Every means will be taken during
that week to inspire and stimulate the
public to give and give generously to
this great need. 1t is as much mat
ter Of patriotism as the support of
our army and navy. The local Chap
tiers in every community will seek to
canvass each individual. There will
be the usual display and distribution
of posters and informative literature.
An advertising campaign for newspa-
pers has been prepared and will be
placed in the hands of all chapters
for underwriting in the local papers
yours included-by the business in
terests of each locality.

THE LAST APPEAL-BUY
AGAIN CAMPAIGN
MAY FOURTH

By request of the Treasury Depart
ment and to make our State and the
Eighth District-and st. Francois
county-lead the United States in the
Liberty Bond Campaign-and to dem
onstrate to the fighting boys from our
State that we are behind them right
I particularly urge that every sales
man and every member of the st.

ization work all day Saturday, May
4th, in the BUY AGAIN CAMPAIGN,
attempting to sell those who have al
ready bought additional bonds even
of only $50 or $fO0 bonds. Urge the
men to buy a bond for the wives and
children. Our people are 100 per cent
patriotic. They will do it. Many of
them will buy until it hurts. This is
what all of us should do.
Our sales up to Wednesday night,
May 1st, to 1884 subscribers were
1886, 10000, with $1,0O0,000.00 the
goal. $163,6O0 yet to sell. We are
going to make it but only with our en-
tire organization going top speed until
Saturday night. Let's stay in the

100000 with reasonable in
crease in the number Of purchasers
will win the Grand Honor Flag or
make the county that does win it know
that they have been in race. Let's
win it and bring this distinguished
honor to Southeast Missouri-and st.

Lastly, to all who read this appeal.
Don't wait for salesman, but go to
your bank or some salesman in your
community and subscribe for a bond
whether or not you have already sub
scribed. This will save time on the
part of the workers and thereby be of
double assistance.
