Red Triangle League.

The Red Triangle League work has started we'll in this county. Cadet w. A. Smith and myself went to Readland Tuesday night, Eudora Wednesday night and Lake Village Friday night. At Readland we were greeted by a large crowd at the school house. even though it was stormy and looked like a cyclone was on its way
 At Eudora the Baptist Church was packed to it's limit and over sixty joined the League. At Lake Village, while raining, the folk came to the court house and filled the room two thirds full A nice crowd greeted the speakers. Over sixty gave their names as members. We feel sure there will be more than five hundred members in the county. Those who have heard Cadet Smith, or who have read somewhat about the League, talk it to others and let us keep the fire burning
 We want every League in the county to secure a tabulated list of all men in the service, their whereabouts and their condition. so that members of the League. or the officers, can write to them and inform the boys of our inter est in and our plans for them
 The membership fee of $l 00 can be paid to Rev. Clark Sims or myself as county chairman, until We get the com mittee which was appointed out at work for the League
 This is a great work and as necessary and patriotic as any work of the Red Cross, or any other branch of the ser. vice. This work directly affects our boys mentally, physically and morally and concerns them not only now. but when they return from the war So let every man, woman and child join this League and talk to others about this great and noble work

THIS IS The TRUE
RED CROSS SPIRIT
A Little Story With a Big
Thought in 1t.

A month ago the Red Cross chapter
In Bay City, Mich, received u hurry
up call for $50 dunnage bags. Troopi
were about to move, and through an
oversight their equipment was not
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within 48 hours. request
for help was sent over the town. and
the stores were searched successfully
for the right materials. Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrOoms to help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years of age, each eager to lend
hand and do something for the boys
who we're going to the front. All day
long the fingers of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after bag received the last stitch un.
til scores we're piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman experimenting the making Of
the bags counted those completed and
announced that II every one of the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished in time for
shipping by evening. Two crestfallcn
little girls, the little sisters, were watt
ing for her at the door as she de-
parted
Red Cross Ounnage Bags.
I'VE are awfully sorry, ma am" said
the older OF the two, but we can't
come back tomorrow. You see tomor-
row we have to" And, without fin
fishing the sentence, she looked back
wistfully at the pile Of bags.
1T is too bad you can't come back"
said the superintendent, "but l want
to thank you, and we all thank you,
for the work you've done today. You
two have teen wonderful help, and
that pile of bags wouldn't be nearly so
big If you hadn't been here Good
night"
The next morning when the super
intendent came down to unlock the
workrooms for the day she was aston
tshed to see the two little girls stand
ing in the cold by the locked door.
"Oh. I'm so glad to see you'll" she
said. Il thought you said you couldn't
Gomez"
"Oh. we knew those Red Cross bags
just had to be finished for the SOL
diers." exclaimed the little one, with
glistening eyes, "and we got up at
three o'clock this morning and got the
washing done earlyl"
