In this third annual roll call will not

One of the features of the Armis-

carried out by the Young Women's

mission had a taxicab IN line, deco
rated in the tri-colors and carving

local membership up to what it should
be. While this clean up plan reflects
in no way on the work already done,
there are places where the solicitors
have failed to find people at home, or
where the arguments have not been
strong enough to reach the people.
and 1t is these places where this
"mopping up" squad will go.
"As If anyone needed an argument
to join the Red Cross" one person
said today.

Country Districts Show Well.

Reports from the country districts
and from the various towns in the
Keokuk chapter jurisdiction show that
the people in charge Of the drive in
these places have been diligent. Take
Belmont, for instance, where it really
means some work in order to cover
the entire neighborhood. and there
were thtrty-one memberships turned
in from them. Primrose turned in 116,
Melrose 25, Summitville and Hickory
Grove 81, and Donnellson with par
tial report is showing $50 members.
With such good reports from the
county and rural districts, where soii-
citing is twice as hard and inconven-
lent than in the cities, because OF the
fact that houses are scattered, the
local officers urged that the Local
committees redouble their efforts and
go after the many subscriptions which
should be made.
Homes which last year had one hun
dred percent, many of them this year
have only part OF the members e..
rolled 1t is such things as this that
make the local chapter officials plan
strenuous drive to clean up at the
close of the campaign.
