YOUR RED CROSS CALLS
ROLL ARMISTICE WEEK
Membership Rather Than Mon
ely Is Asked to Complete
War Relief.

Red Cross Chapters. branches and
auxiliaries in the Northwestern Div
ision, comprising Alaska, Idaho, Ore
gOn and Washington, will participate
in the THIRD RED CROSS ROLL
CALL November to November II,
Armistice Day. The American Red
Cross, the greatest relief organization
in recorded history. the modified
heart-action of the American people,"
will engage in no more drives" for
huge sums for war relief, but will
continue its annual roll-call, which is
simply the occasion on which the
American people express their belief
in the ideals and work of the Red
Cross by enrolling as members. "All
you need is a heart and a dollar"
For five reasons, say the leaders Of
the Red Cross, this THIRD RED
CROSS ROLL CALL should enroll
every loyal and public spirited Ameri-
can citizen among the millions of mem
bers of the organization that served
our boys at home and overseas, saved
the morale of France and Italy in our
early days in the war, relieved the
millions of refugees. fed the starving
babies of Europe, saved whole nations
from determination, stood as next
friend to those families in America
whose dear ones were in the service
threw its tremendous resources into
the fight against influenza dealt with
great national disasters of flood and
fire, and now carries on to do its part
to serve America and to make the
war worth having been won.
These five reasons are:

The Red Cross button is the most
widely worn button in the world.
Thirty million men and women and
children in the United States now
wear this emblem of countless good
deeds accomplished. For the third
year in America comes universal op-
portunity to wear it.
There are many instances of how
this button, bearing upon a white
background a tiny cross, has been
worn and treasured. One morning in
a distant northwest county, a man
whose ruddy, optimistic countenance
was clothed with ruddy beard, asked
the Red Cross chairman if he had an
other button like the one he wore

or Naval hospitals, the American peo-
pie still give cheer, comfort and serv-
ice through their Red Cross.
In certain portions of the Old World
the American Red Cross still feeds
and clothes the undernourished and
ragged babies, cares for the aged and
the infirm, and assists the people of
these disease-ridden, ADMINISTRATION,
war-ravaged countries to organize
their own resources. Since the sign
ing of the Armistice, this work has
steadily declined, but it is not by any
means fully completed.
2. The Red Cross is the Disaster Re-
lief Agent of the American People.
The speed and efficiency with which
the Red Cross met emergency needs
at Corpus Christi illustrated the value
of nationwide Red Cross organization.
In case of disaster, whether it be for
est fire in the Northwest or a great
Mississippi Valley flood, the first eff
fective relief will hereafter come from
nearby communities, working through
their Red Cross Chapters.
8. In Case of Epidemic Local Red
Cross Organization Is Indispens-
able.
During the influenza epidemic, Red
Cross action and cooperation saved
three thousand lives, because the Red
Cross was fully organized in every
community in the United States.
Against a possible recurrence of in
fluenza this winter and against dan
ger of epidemic in the future, con-
tinued universal membership in the
Red Cross is essential

operation.
The American Red Cross is still an
emergency organization. 1t must be
realized that there is such a thing as
a continuing disaster: 100000 babies
under one year of age die every year
because of ignorance; thousands OF
mothers die unnecessarily in child
birth; it is still possible for an cpl
demic like the influenza to take a toll
within a compass of few weeks five
times greater than the losses of oul
nation in a year and half of war
hundreds of thousands OF people II
the prime of life die in the United
States every year from wholly pre-
ventable diseases. This is nothing
short of a disaster which is continu
ing one and will be permanent unles

5. America Has Set the Pace In a
World Red Cross Movement.
The League of Red Cross Societies
of all nations has been formed through
the inspiration of the Red Cross
achievement of the United States.
This League has no executive power
whatever over the Red Cross of any
nation, but will extend into every ma
ton the benefits of national, volun-
tary Red Cross society on the Ameri-
can model, to deal with problems of
health and child welfare and to cope
with the relief problems that are so
pressing over so great part of the
earth's surface. Through these organ
izations many nations will meet their
own problems which woeld otherwise
be appealing to America for relief and
assistance. The United States, whose
people have shown the world how thus
to rise out of despair into hope, must
keep the Red Cross banner floating
high. The success or failure of this
great world movement of practical
idealism will depend largely upon the
manner in which the American people
answer the THIRD RED CROSS
ROLL CALL.

Iron County Member OF Legislature
One OF Best Known Legislators.

Hon. p. O'Brien, editor OF the Iron

Der Of the legislature from Iron
county, is one Of the best known and
most influential members in the legis-
lature. This is Mr.. O'Brien's third
term In that body and he is generally
conceded to have an excellent insight
into legislative work.
He is very popular with his fellow
members and one OF the most widely
known men in the legislature. Mr..
O'Brien has been given several Inn
portant committee assignments, the
most important being his appointment
to the chairmanship on the insurance
committee.
Owing to the great distance which
the state capital Is from Iron coun-
ty Mr.. O'Brien, like other upper penin-
sula members, Is unable to get home
often during the session.
He says that he expects to make one
visit at least to Iron county durinf
the session. Saturdays and Sundays
and most OF Mondays are tiresome
days for upper peninsula men at Lans-
ing as the legislature generally ad-
journs Friday night to convene the
following Monday night, so that the
legislators have three days of idle
