Father Rice Tuesday Evening.

Every great nation of the world

in the warning countries when they
speak of the Red Cross they usual
ly mean the American Red Cross,
because 1t is so much greater and
more efficient that it stands in a
class alone. This is not to the dis

The greatest development of the
war, so far as this country is con-
cerned, aside from our military and
naval activities, is the Red Cross
society. From the beginning of the
world war the American Red Cross
has been doing a wonderful work,
but since the United States has
been drawn into the conflict, the
Growth of its membership and ac-
tiyities h been phenomenal.

years. 1t has taken all their money
/ for war necessities and their women
have been compelled to do men )
work in fields and factories.
So the burden of relief and mercy
has been laid on the American Red
Cross, and we must not fail to sus-
tain this burden. 1t takes work
personal service and sacrifice to
carry on this duty and the men and
women of America are failing not
in this respect.
1t also takes money millions of
dollars and they must be Ameri-
can dollars, because we are the only
great nation who can spare these
dollars. The call comes now for a
1 hundred million dollars for the Red
Cross and this is to be donated by
the people of the United States in
the week of May 20 to 27, when a
nation wide drive for funds is to be
made.
In Iron county the Red Cross
drive next week will be taken care
of by the National Defense League,
which organization is now being
perfected. This is the war chest
idea of taking care of all drives in
the county for war benefits. A re-
solution to adopt this method in
this county and to organize the Ma
tional Defense League was passed
at the last meeting of the county
board. l his week committees head
ed by the chairman in each town in
the county and by the aldermen in
the various wards i'll the city OF
Hurley have been busy taking a
census of the wage earners in their
respective districts. Efforts will be
made to get every person over 1t
years of age who is a wage earne'
as a member of the League. EacI
member will be pledged to donate
81 90 or more each month for the
various demands for war benefits
which may come up while the wal
lasts.
Following the completion of the
census every person in the county
will be asked to join the league anC
pledge to give S1.OO or more each
month. Each person joining the
league will be given a receipt eact
month for his donation, member
ship card and a button. The names
of the members together with theil
monthly pledge will be published
in the local papers, and those who
don't join will probably also b.
published. There should be NJ
slackers in Iron county. Every
wage carrier, salaried, professional
and business man or woman shoulC
join the league and do his or he
share in keeping up the good worl
being done.
The money collected each month
in the various towns will be turneC
