Give to The Red Cross

In day or two alter these lines are read, the
drive lcr the American Red Cross Second War Fund
CT 500, 900 900, and Taneys quota Of Sails, will
be over, and we will know whether Taney county has
sustained its reputation for being on the night side.
With the thorough organization Of this short drive, we
believe that there will be no doubt Of the issue.
In the last days OF this drive, this appeal is made
You bought Liberty Bonds, people Of Taney county,
and did your part we'll. It the patriotic thing ior
those to do who could possibly do So and you did it,
You loaned your money that the government might
provide food, clothing guns, ammunition, ships,
aeropanes and all necessary things for the fighting
man. I, was not only patriotic, but good invest,
ment and a safe one.
Now comes another phase OF this terrible war.
We have provided for the equipment Of our brave
fighting boys but the care OF the sick, the wounded
aud the suffering oil the soldiers who fighting our
battles is entrusted to the American Red Cross which
is supported by the voluntary contributions Of patri-
otic Americans. While the money is guarded and
checked up by the government, the work is entrusted
to this society.
1t is as unpatriotic to leave our boys without
proper care in their times Of need as is to send them
into the fight without proper weapons 1t as much
ones patriotic duty to contribute to the Red Cross
it is to buy Liberty Bonds One who has bought
bonds when the government needed the money does
but half his dutyor less than half for he eventually
gets his money back with fair nterest he does not
also contribute 10 the Red Cross
Let US not evade ouf duty because we bought
bonds Let it not be said Of US, that we will not
contribute dollar to the boys who are making it
possible for our dollars be worth something to u.s.
unless we can see it coming back with large part
OF another with it. Our boys drafted lor cur ser.
vice; Why not volunteer our money! Do not let it
have to be drafted too. Be patriotic; be generous be
just aud do your part, while it is yet day.
Yours Ior Victory,
