Roll-Call of Whole Ameri-
can People to Take Place
From Dec. Is to 23-An
Should Be Members.
CHILDREN URGED TO Join
Membership Fee Is One Stand
by the Flag and Help In
This Great Fight for
Peace and Mercy.

"A Christmas Roll Call OF the whole
American people for membership in
the Red Cross will take place from
December sixteenth to twenty-third.
The Red Cross wants to give the world
notice not only that America can fight,
but that to the last man, woman and
child we stand four square for mercy,
honor and good faith among nations.
At the close of the Christmas mem
bership campaign Of 1917 there were
22,000,000 Americans enrolled in the
Red Cross. There are also 100000
members in the Junior Red Cross.
This year, both as a Christmas OBJ
servance and as renewal of the
nationwide pledge of loyalty, the Red
Cross will again put before every one
the duty of standing by the flag; for
the Red Cross in this great fight for
peace represents the whole spirit Of
what we have been fighting for.
Now that the war is over the Red
Cross needs this help from the Ameri-
can people as much if not more than
before. A great work is still to be
completed and new ideas for great
work in the future are now being
formed in the minds of the brilliant
heads Of this organization.
Many people have gained the idea
that now the war is over, all work of
a war nature viii be discontinued, for
what else can we do, they say TO them
selves and friends. But IL all the good
people of America and elsewhere act
ually knew of the great amount of work
yet to be accomplished they would not
hesitate to give their money freely
to cause that goes to help give
aid to thousands and thousands Of
worthy people.
In the campaign Of 1917 the Aneri-
can people did themselves well, but the
leaders are going to try aud make a
still better showing this year.
Every one in the United States
should be proud to have a member
ship in this great organization. The
membership fee is one dollar. Half of
this remains with the local chapter,
to be used for expenses and for re-
lief of our soldiers and their fami-
lies; the other half goes to the
National Treasury.
Children are especially urged to join,
no child should be without o member
ship, and it is hoped that the Junior
Red Cross win reach total Of ten
million members this Christmas.
In this great country of America
with its one hundred million people,
great things are expected, and the
Red Cross should number among her
membership at least half of these
great people.
The people of Kenosha mast come
forward and give their earnest sup
port to this great cause, as in former
years. Kenosha chapter of the Red
Cross is expecting a much larger per-
centage and membership thar last year.
The people Of Kenosha can do 1T. Help
your children to become members;
show them ways in which TO earn the
money in which to do it. Help the
cause in Kenosha or elsewhere.

Society and Club Life
They Also Served

KeDosha boys in the army at Camp
Taylor are coming home this week.
This is the message that comes from
Corporal William Meier there, but he
has not announced just how many Of
the boys are coming and who they are.
Kencsha has probably a hundred men
at Camp Taylor and it is expected
that number of them will be re-
leased from day to day until all Of the
men who have been in service there
have been returned to civilian life.
The Kenosha boys at Taylor have been
working hard since they went into
camp and they feel that there is 60
ing to DO some people who will att
tempt to disparage the part they
have played in the army and the war.
One Of them has developed as a real
poet and as an introduction to the
returning soldiers he has sent back
from Louisville poem which he de-
clares Is TO be the introduction of the
Kenosha boys on their return home.
1t is one Of the best poems that have
come from the environments during
the war. The modest Kenosha poet
who wrote il refuses to make his name
public but just the same here is the
poem:
WHEN WE COME HOME.
Wen soon be back from this terrible
war
Covered with honor and medals galore
Back from chasing the horrible huns
Back from the roar and crash of the
guns
Back from doing our duties 50 well
Regular heroes are we like hell.
Wen soon be back On the job again
Ont Of the trenches and cold and rain
Where we fought fierce battles against
the huns
Using our mouths instead of our guns
Back from doing our wonderful stunt
OF marking time on the Louisville
front.
Yes, wen soon be back from doing
our bit
Showing our courage and proving our
grit
Playing our part in the awful jam
BY eating our meals on old Uncle Sam
In fact, there is nothing could possibly
improve more
Our wonderful record of winning the
war.
We know what we IL face when we re
home once more
Hoy they kid us and josh US about
this war
And say we were soldiers Of peaceful
ways
Orr we IL hear all that for the rest
Of our days
And our only reply to the boys that
kid
Is By Gum, we tried, and that's more
than you did"

A Kind Response
Widow and Children Now Have Heat
Ing Stove Due to the kind Hearted
Action oS Some News Reader.

That Kenosha is filed with kind
hearted, Christian people, and that
they al read the Kenosha News, are
two self evident facts.
That they are kind hearted is evil
denced by the fact that every time an
appeal is made to them for some worthy
object they Immediately respond. That
these people read the News is evil
Idenced by the fact that these appeals
are published in the News and as soon
as the edition Of the News containing
the appeal is distributed to the people
things begin to happen.
A few weeks ago the News made an
appeal for funds with which to pay for
tho admission of a man suffering with
tuberculosis to Willowbrook sanitorium
and Immediately the funds were raised
and the nan is now receiving treatment
in that institution.
In the issue of Monday an appeal
for 8 stove for poor widow and five
fatherless children was made and the
paper had no more than been distri-
buted than three stoves were offered,
and these persons instead Of shivering
around cook stove In the kitchen are
now comfortably warmed in the living
room of their home. Before the stove
was received the family had only a
cook stove in the house and the whole
family was compelled to put in its
whole time in the kitchen to try to
keep warm by it.
