Richards voluntary membership
roll for 1919 in the Red Cross has
now passed the 100 mark, but this is
a mighty poor showing for district
of this size and doubtless is accounted
for by the fact that many who wish to
join have simply overlooked the mat
ter. Call at the bank or the Advo-
cate office and leave your subscrip-
ton membership fee of $1.00 to help
the good work along.
Miss Laura Long who is confined
to the hospital at Kennewick with the
influenza is much improved. Miss

cry.

resume her teaching.
Richards quota in the Armenian
Relief fund drive has been set at Sl60,
the amount based on the population
of the district. A careful analysis OF
the situation here shows that if each
family on the project would donate 20
cents to this worthy cause our quota
could be raised. 1t would seem that
this is very small amount to ask
from people who are as prosperous as
the farmers hereabouts, especially as
the funds will be used to assist peo-
pie who arc literally starving to death
The proclamation of President Wilson
asks the people of the United States
to raise thirty million dollars for this
cause and surely we will not be behino
with our reasonable quota. Furthe,
particulars in regard to the drive ane
where to make payments will be giver
in these columns next week.
