WHAT YOUR RED CROSS DOES

Private Jean Fournan OF New York
is known as the "Red Cross man. at
the American Military Hospital No. 1.
where he is convalescing. A cross on
his back, the mark Of two pieces OF
shrapnel, will be lifelong scar.
An English manor house of Sc rooms
and surrounding group Of hutments
will constitute the largest American
Red Cross Hospital In Great Britain.
Beds for 800 American soldiers will
be provided. Some $50 beds are now
ready IN the buildings on this coun-
try estate, Salisbury court. near South
hampton. Timber for these buildings
comes from the estate Of 1873 acres, one
of the most beautiful sites in south
ern England.
In Greece there has been q great
deal Of suffering due to the mobilize:
tion of troops, so q Red Cross COM
mission sailed last month to admins
ter an appropriation Of $4,000 made
Cor this purpose.

WILL GIVE COMFORT KITS.

Because Of limited room on tho
transports the Army has now barred
comfort kits from the personal bag
gage OF soldiers. However, since
these have furnished such real
comfort and pleasure to our boys,
the American Red Cross Is arranging
Tor as large freight shipments Of these
as possible to be distributed through
Its Foreign Commissions. For these
have made universal appeal. One big
burly soldier boy was as pleased a.
punch over some simple puzzle that
had been slipped into the bag he drew.
Still another instance Is told Of 9
soldier boy who came from the trench
covered with CRIME and dirt and with
not even as much as toothbrush n
his possession. When he was handed
comfort kit with comb, brush and
even q toothbrush his Joy knew no
bounds, and he Immediately made 2
mental allotment from his next pay
day to Is to the American Red Cross,
which had proved his friend IN bis
hour Of need.

4 The Red Cross Christmas Roll

4 will stand for renewed hope and

4 How necessary, then, that the

Newport daily independent., 1918-05-20

Across the seas from every war torn nation in the Allied cause there comes the call for Red Cross help.
 It comes from soldiers who have grimly laced the gleaming bayonet steel and poison gas and screaming shells, and who now lie with parch- ing throats and throbbing wounds.
 It comes from soldiers sick with fever, pneumonia, tuberculosis.
 It comes from soldiers crippled, mutilated, blinded, who can no longer fight and must be trained for useful occupations.
 It comes from the underfed, shiv- ering, helpless prisoners in the Ger man prison camps.
 It comes from the little children orphaned, homeless, slowly starving day by day, by tens and tens of thousands.
 It comes from mothers in the pill laged zones of war whose hearts and souls have been made numb with horror.
 From all these millions of suffer ing human beings there comes across the sea the call for help-help that because of the frightful burdens placed upon our allies cannot be giv- on unless tt is provided by the Amer ican Red Crcss.
 Another hundred million is needed to "carry on."
 What will Americas answer be?
 There is only one way to give to the Red Cross-give till your heart says stop. A little contribution is on- ly salve to pride.
 This is not to say that contributions of only one dollar, or even of only one nickle, are not desired-and needed.
 For you to give $5 when you can give $25-for you to give $25 when YOU can give $100, or to give $1O0 when you can give $500-is to dodge the heaviest obligation that this war has laid upon you.
 For remember, this is NOT a char ity-this is a DUTY.
 This is not a time to give because others give. This is time to give because others need
 No man can tell you how much you

ought to give. Except this: that "Oyer There" the need is so great that only by cutting to the quick, on- ly by giving all that you can give and then MORE-only by giving not a little of your excess but much of 1t only by taking from your own children and from your wife and yourself, can the needs of the men who are fighting for you and the NEEDS of the children of the men who have died for you be met.
 Ask your soul how much it should be.
 Do not let the other mans failure to do his duty deter you from your obligation. His failure does not re- lieve you of duty. Be sure you have done what you should do, and then roundly condemn the other fellow for his failue. He will deserve your con- demnation just the same as you II had done as he.

MASS MEETING . CHRISTIAN CA0N
Speakers Tell of Work Carriedv By the Red Cross in COnvincinl
 Manner Last Night.

Not as large crowd q z 1 had been hoped for attended the mass meeting at the Christian church last night, but the lack of numbers was1 made up in enthusiasm for the Red Cross. The meeting was held for the. purpose of installing enthusiasm pre- paratory to the Red Cross Drive this week, and the service opened by a song, followed by scripture reading by Rev. w. B. Hays and prayer by Rev. J. w. Gardner.
 Jos. M. Stayton opened the speak ing program with few well chosen remarks, introducing Gustave Jones, the first speaker of the evening. Mir. Jones read the presidents proclaim ation which set aside this week as Red Cross week, following which he stated he had given his place on the program to Judge George Humphries of Salem. Judge Humphries delivered a convincing address and was enthu- siastically received by his hearers.
 Judge Humphries was followed by Major Campbell, who always delights his hearers in Jackson county, aN had much of interest to tell of thy work of the Red Cross.
 Dr. E. D. Brown of Batesville was the next speaker and his remarks were well received and deeply apprez ciated. Following Dr. Brown came. Claude M. Erwin, whose talk carried much to please and epthuse his hear CTS.
 The meeting was closed by A. T. Hubby, who explained few points concerning the campaign for funds here this week.
 Tonight a smoker will be held at the Hazel hotel, where the solicitors will meet and receive final instruc tions for their weeks work. No diff ficulty is anticipated in the work q securing Newport's quota, as thi city has always responded with wi and enthusiasm.

G. A. Hillhouse Will Sell Stock, Etc. For the Benefit of the American
 Red Cross.

Everyone who is acquainted with the persuasive powers of Hon. Geo A. Hillhouse know in advance that a goodly sum of money will be raised in Newport Saturday for the Ameri- can Red Cross, when he will conduct a public auction of pigs, etc., which have been donated to the local chap ter. MT. Hillhouse requests all per sons having stock or anything else to donate to the chapter to bring it in Saturday and place it in his charge.
 The honor flag which Jackson county won by reason of her enviable .over-subscription of the Third Liber- ty Loan will be raised either just be- fore the sale commences or immedi- ately after it is over.
 Undoubtedly there are many per sons in Newport and elsewhere in the county who will gladly donate some thing to the local chapter for public sale Saturday. Let everybody step to the front with something.

TWO CD BOYS GONE.

Wanted to know at once the where abouts of my two boys, Johnnie Har- low, aged IT, weight about no lbs, and very dark hair, and Jonathan Harlow, aged 12, weight about S5 or 90 lbs. and light hair. Both have blue eyes and are nearly the same height. We're last seen in Denmark, Ark, May 18th, 1918. Each had on a brown cap and blue overalls with bibs. Were never away before. l know of no good reason for their absence. Be- lieve that some malicious person has induced them to go away or that evil has befallen them. May be on a farm or with show They are needed very badly at home, as their mother is dead, and I am crippled. Have a large crop to tend, and 2 very small children and one baby to look after, and have no housekeeper. Anyone locating them do not mention this mo- tice to the boys, but try to keep track of them, or else hold officially, and at once write, wire, telephone, or send me messenger at my expense, and will surely compensate as far as am able. I am their father and live 21a miles west of Denmark, Ark. All city marshals or other officers, or any person please give this your quick attention. All other papers please copy and oblige.
