Pouring Forth Our Earthly Treasures
For Treasures That Are Cody.

no dreams Of a day when we might pour forth this wealth
and treasure for treasures far more godly.
1t is today Our privilege to do this, without reserve,
unstintingly. And it is Our privilege to see this wealth
and treasure 60 forth halowed by it's own great purpose
for it expends itself not for selfish gain nor mean adj
vantage, but that men throughout the world may herein
after dwell in peace, secure in the knowledge that the
life, liberty and happiness given them by God, may not,
at the whim Of some perverted human agency, be ruth
kssly snatched away.
The Tabor independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1913-19??, 1918-09-19

And SO as you inscribe your name upon a subscrip-
ton blank for Liberty Bonds to-day, your hand po,ms
forth the treasure Of the land, which returning will bring
back with it forrfod the treasures Of Heaven, life, liberty
and happiness, and the gratitude Of men saved from
servtude and degradation.

But life, liberty and happiness are
above all these. They are the possessions Of Heaven
which God alone bestows, and only He may ~rightfuly
take away. \
So it is fitting and natural, when a ~sangunary power,
conceived in cunning and nurturad upon blind Submissive
ness, challenges the very right Of God, that the world
should turn in wrath against such ~blasphemy.
The Tabor independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1913-19??, 1918-09-19

Wealth and treasure are this lands possessions. We
are proud to think that this is largely so because the divine
principles upon which life, liberty and happiness are
~predcated have been in diligence and good fortune Our
earnest precepts.

TO RED CROSS MEMBERS.

Mr.. Editor:
In order that all our Red Cross
members may understand why
we have not been able to get lit
erature for additionalchapters in
the county, | wish to publish the
following correspondence after
explaining the occasion for the
first letter. On Saturday two
weeks ago Mr.. T. r. Philips of
Star told me he had not been able
to secure the literature for or
ganization of their chapter.
II wrote at once to Mr.. Lep-
pert asking him to forward the
literature to Mr.. Philips. He
wrote me in reply the following
letter:
Miss Meddie L. Robinson, Vice
Chairman, American Red Cross,
Brandon, Miss. Dear Madam:
We have yours of January 18th
advising us that Mr.. H. H. Bull
lock has been elected as your

changed our records accordingly.
We note your recommendations
in regard to Star, Miss, and in
this regard wish to advise that
it is the policy of the Division to
create branches of existing chap
tiers in Counties where chapters
have already been established.
By assembling the products of
the work room of these branches
at a central point, and making
one shipment of the lot, a con-
siderable saving can be effected
TO the local organizations. Also
fhere will be a saving to the Di-
vision in administrative supplies
In order that Star may be Off
cially organized as a branch of
YOUR chapter, we are enclosing a
complete set of forms for this
purpose and would request that
when you have organized this
branch you return one copy OF the
certificate of organization to this

we have outlined, and with best
wishes, / beg to remain,
