The Red Cross Christmas Rol

Quoted in Grant County the week
preceding Christmas. 1t is plan
ned to have every person in towns
of the county enrolled next Sunday
afternoon, Dec. 18th, and during
the week to enroll the folks resid-

however, that everyone will come
forward and enroll as members pre-
vious to the solicitors going out,
thereby saving much work for all
concerned.
As the peak of Red Cross achieve
ment will probably be reached in
1919 it would truly be a Cristmas
gift of the first magnitude to the
nation and to the world if the whole
people enrolled in the Red Cross

This is the aim and objective of
the forthcoming Red Cross Christ
