URGE ALL PLEDGES
Be PAID At ONCE.
Red Cross Officials Appeal To Cidsens
Who Promised To Support Chap-
tcr's Work.
UNDER CONTINUOUS EXPENSE
Sufficient Amount Allowed In Patri.
OTIS Fund To Sustain Work After
March l.

Local Red Cross officials today Is
sued an urgent plea to subscribers to
the sustaining fund asking that
monthly pledges be paid to March l
as follows:
"Since the announcement Of the
Patriots fund. designed to take care
of all such contributions in support OF
the Red Cross many signers Of the
monthly pledge card have believed
that monthly payments should be at
once discontinued, even before the
date Of operations Of the new fund.
1.-THE Red Cross must, however. have
continuous financial support that Its
production Of bandages. dressings and
comforts may go on unhampered. 1t
must receive such support uninter-
ruptedly up to March 1, at least. Dur
ing January the chapter produced 81
900 hospital garments and 1,40O
knitted garments. The materials for
these articles cost several thousand
dollars. The chapter undertook the
production with the assurance that
the sustaining fund carried certain
support. 1t is highly necessary for
the welfare of Red Cross work in this
city that the loyal citizens who pledged
themselves to its support, fulfill their
promise by bridging the gap until the
Patriots fund is operative.
Unbroken Record.
"The Red Cross is confident that
with this need clearly in mind, no
February pledge will go unpaid. The
record of Rock Islands splendid CO.
operation with the Red Cross will 90
unbroken."

HE'S DEAD

Gus Collins, cOlorcd, and known
around town as the "trick niggcr"
and "root worker" died in Naming last
week. Notwithstanding he was seen in
his coffin, and buried as all human be-
ings are, there are great many col
ored people who believe Gus still
lives. 1t is told that when he was be-
ing laid out he turned over and looked
into the face Of those preparing him
for burial. 1t is also said that col
ored preacher took the place of the
regular barber, and started to shave
him, when again he rolled his eyes up
at him. The Rev. decided it was NOV
ing day with him, and while he was
told the speed limit was 30 miles per
hour, he hit the track at a pace that
would make Ralph De Palmer asham-
ed. It's true Gus was a freak, good
magician and slight of hand artist,
but he is dead and cannot return. So
those that are still worrying about his
departure need fear him no longer
he has gone to stay.
