party whose name appears will
enter actively and we can assure

Liberty Bond drive. This money
is to be used solely for the prose-
cution of war relief work as un-
dertaken by the Red Cross Asso-

SSre incurred and the money do
-nated by the people will go where
it was intended to care for the
wounded. infirm and distressed
soldiers and for the general re-
