RED CROSS CAMPAIGN
Next Week, May 20 to rs. Set Aside
for the Grand Red Cross Drive
to Raise Another Hundred
Million.

The one hundred million dollar fund,
which was raised a year ago by the
American Red Cross Society for work
in the war zone has been now practi-
cally exhausted, and the citizens Of
the United States are being called up
on to supply another hundred million.
The week of Monday to Saturday next,
May 20 to 25 has been set aside for
this drive, and each county has been
apportioned its pro rata amount as it
was last year. Prowers county was
the only one in this section Of the
state that raised the amount asked of
it last year but all the counties have
become much more enthusiastic in war
work since that time, and it is be-
lieved that the valley will do its full
share in this drive.
J. z. Campbell has been appointed
chairman for Prowers county in this
campaign and has appointed lieuten-
ants for all sections of the county to
assist him in the work and every
thing will be in readiness for a
systematic and effective drive when
it starts on next Monday.
The suffering in the war zone has
been the greatest ever known in the
history Of the world and only the
wonderful work of mercy carried on
by the American Red Cross has made
the situation even endurable. This
with the great work of caring for the
hospitals Of the American army has
taken all of the big fund raised a
year ago, and our people will not hesi-
state to replace the funds and enable
the work to go forward along the
same lines.
The American Red Cross is the only
institution in the world today that you
can give money to and be absolutely
assured that every penny goes to the
most .commendabie charity work. 1t
stands out as the greatest work of
relief and mercy the world has ever
known and all citizens can have a part
in by meeting the solicitors when
they come with an open purse and
smile. Or, still better, beat them to
it, and hunt them up and give with
out being asked.

Green's" Slices" "tees," "putters,"

day evening meeting of the Golf As

nounced that it had been quietly but
effectively at work since General Good

Arthur Gordon ANNOUNCED that he had
already played around and that the

Of course that sum will be forthcom-

such as this. The problem really is
to get EVERYBODY into the work.
Let's don't let few loyal givers make

Remember that every cent given or
contributed to the Red Cross during
the coming campaign, goes into actual

is one case where 100 per cent of the
money given goes where it is intended
that it should go.

"OUR ANNUAL MEETING
AT LAMAR, COLORADO

"We call special attention to the
great meeting that we are planning
for Lamar, Colorado, July and 10th,
this year. We are inviting many OF
the leading men Of the southwest to
address the meeting. So far the speak
ers for the state of Colorado are:
Governor julius c. Gunter, Ex-GOver-
nor Alva Adams, Congressman Ed
Keating, Judge Lowe, president of the
National Old Trails Association; Hon.
T. ]. Ehrhart, state highway commits
sioner for the state of Colorado, and
Hon. Thomas lyman, warden of the
state penitentiary. Governors Will
liams Of Oklahoma, Capper of Kansas
and Hobby of Texas will also be in
vited to address the convention. An
effort will be made to secure United
States Senator Morris Sheppard Of
Texas for place on the program. Mr..
Sheppard is one Of the most eloquent
and graceful speakers in the United
States"
The interest of the people all along
the line Of the D-C-D is well shown
by the fact that in the past year the
various communities through which
it passes from Childress, Texas, to
Lamar have voted one million dollars
in bonds for improvements on the
highway in addition to hundreds Of
thousands that have been sent out
Of the regular county funds for work
on the road. The travel along the
road was big last year, the first since
it was marked out, but will be in
creased several times over this season.
1t is estimated by those in charge that
nearly a thousand cars will come for
the convention alone.
The list Of speakers, who have al
ready been secured. contains some of
the best known and most eloquent
public men Of the great southwest,
and more are expected to be added As
soon as they are able to makc definite
arrangements as to their future dates.

size by branch lines that are being at
tached to it until it looks as II all Of
