RED CROSS GETTING
DOWN TO WORK AS
THIS REPORT SHOWS


The Tucumcari Chapter Red Cross
has realized that there is much to be
done and the members are filling the
work room each day and doing their
part to whip the Kaiser by knitting
useful articles and doing such other
work as Is required to make for the
comfort of the boys in the training
camps and in the trenches. The boys
from Tucumcari are loud in their
praise of the Red Cross. James Put
man, writing from Galveston SAYS:
Don't allow anybody to tell you the
Red Cross charges for sweaters or
any other service as fine sweater
was offered me today" James was
given sweater by his mother who
has knitted several for the local Red
