The RED CROSS ASK YOU
TO HELP

Have you ever lain in No Mans Land with a
shattered thigh and throat that burned with thirst?
Has your wife every begged food for her chill
dren and herself at the mess-kitchen of soldiers
camp?
Has your little son ever torn his mothers heart
with paintive cry, day after day, for food she
couldn't give him
Has your little daughter clad in ragged Dress
her only dress, ever shvered night after night in
the ruined cellar of what was once her home?
Has your city ever been destroyed-nay pow
dered, bricks, stone tmbers and all ground into
the dust that one scarce knew where street ended
and building began?
Tt is exactly such suffering that the Red Cross
is organized, here and in Europe, to relieve.
The Red Cross asks for One Hundred Million
Dollars as the least it needs to carry this work
Can you-dare you refuse to give to this work
and give till the heart says stop?
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1918-05-14

There is only one way to give to the Red Cross
give till your heart says stop. little contribu-
ton is only salve to pride.
This is not to say that contributions of only one
dollar or even of only one nicke, are not desired
and needed
For you to give So when you give $25--
for you to give $50 when you can give 500, or to
give 500 when YOU give $5OO-s to dodge the
heaviest obligation that this war has laid upon you.
For remember, this is not charity-this is a
duty.
This is not time to give because others give
This is time to give because others need
No man can tell you how much you ought to
give. Except this: that cover here" the need is so
great that only by cutting to the quick, only by
giving all that you think you can give and then
more--ony by giving not little of your excess but
much of it--only by taking from your own children
and from your wife and from yourself, can the needs
of the men who are fighting for you and the needs
of the children Of the men who have died for you
be met.
Ask your own soul how much it should be

Business Instinct.

The teacher was trying to impress
upon her class the necessity of regu-
lating the sinful human heart, and
to drive her point home she produced
her watch.
"Now, girls" she said. "yOu all see
this watch''-an assertion so obvious
ly true that there was no danger of
contradiction. "Now," she continued,
"just suppose for moment that 1t
did not keep correct time, that found
1t was willing to go any way but the
right way, what should do with it?"
There was the usual pause which
pupils indulge in because 1t fiatters
the teacher by making her suppose her
problem is very deep one, and that
her wisdom is, therefore, profound.
Then bright little girl held up her
hand.
"Please. MISS" she said, "you would
sell it to friend !"

husky Death Valley miners issued
from the Laredo bar and swung into

the Last Chance. This time they did

Everybody's knittin' now,
