Red Cross will launch its member
ship drive some time between Nov.
2 and II, these dates marking the
limits of the nation wide campaign.
why does the Red Cross need
mem bers? The war is over" Is
the first question which will be
asked. The local chapter gives the
answer in brief as follows:
Because: The actual war work
is still going on The Red Cross
will not desert the American SOL
diers, sailors or marines until
every one of them is released from
service. recovered from wounds,
and back in his place in the world.
Because: The Red Cross must
be ready to meet emergencies, dur
ing the coming year as in the past !;
the fight of last year against infiU-
enza may again have TO be waged
this year.
Because: Disease and death
needlessly MAIN and kill each year
far more men, women and children
than did the war, and Red Cross is
launching a tremendous drive 20
prevent this destruction of human
life. Red Cross nurses who bat
tied for the lives of the soldiers
will now turn their efforts towards
making the lives OF the people
safer and healthier. The health ex-
perts of the world are at work on
the plan, and Red Cross has the
organization with which to carry it
out. provided its members believe
that the public welfare is of the
same Importance today as it was in
war time, and express that belief
by reioining.
The Rock Island chapter has at
the present time over thirteen
thousand members; in the Novem-
Der drive it will seek to re-enroll
every one of these memberships and
to secure new ones as well 1t is
not seeking large sums of money,
but is asking, rather, for the per-
sonal support which enrolment as
a member carries with it. The
membership fee is only one 81, in
return for which those joining will
receive a 1920 button, a certificate
of membership, a window flag, and,
according to the words of q chapter
official. "a big sense of satisfaction
and pride in being part of the or
ganization which did so much for
our boys in war time and which Is
going to do such great things fof
ourselves in peace time

WORDS WHICH SHOULD RING
OUT TO-DAY

In speech in the United States
Senate in 1888, Daniel Webster spoke
these words which today should be
carried to the heart of every sower
of discord:
<'There are persons who constantly
c1amor. They complain of oppression,
speculat ton and the pernicious infiu-
ence of accumulated wealth. They
carry out mad hostility against all
established institutions. They would
choke the foundation of industry and
dry all streams. In country of UNI
bounded liberty they clamor against
oppression, In country of perfect
equality they would move heaven and
earth against privilege and monopoly
In a country where property is more
evenly divided than anywhere else
they rent the air shouting agrariank
doctrines In country where the
wages of labor are high beyond par
a1lel, they would teach the 1aborer
that he is but an oppressed slave -

there should be most rigid regulations

shall is constantly receiving reports of
fires which originate in this manner
and yet we doubt If many people re-
alize just how dangerous the opera
ton is For the individual who has
never had the matter brought to his
attention, there may be an excuse,
but with the garage man who knows
the danger of the practice, there Is
none A lighted cigar or cigarette is
also mighty dangerous proposition

ing filed, and yet there are thousands
who take the chance daily
