RED CROSS NOTES
To Members of the Red Cross anC
Our Friends:

To Members of the Red Cross and
Our Friends:
You gave day after day of hard
and conscientious work to the AM
erican Red Cross during the
stormy, trying days of the war.
Many of you worked uncomplain-
ingly ten and twelve and even
eighteen hours day, week in and
week out. You did it spontaneous
ly under the pressure of the mom-
ent, and the energy and enthusi-
asm that always goes with war.
Then when the fighting stopped
and your continuous service was
not needed you took the rest which
you so well deserved and had de-
cidedly earned.
Now the Red Cross is again ap-
pealing to you, but appealing to
you in peace for the great work
of peace. Work which must be
done without blare of trumpets
and the rattle of drums, but which
must be done and done as vigor-
ously and as we'll as the war work.
The Red Cross appreciates your
weeks and months of war efforts,
and asks you for one further
slight sacrifice. But it is asking
far less of you now, than it did
in the days of the war. 1t is 60
ing to ask everyone of our MEM
bers to renew their membership.
And it is going to ask all those of
our friends who are not members
to join us, and be one of our great
Red Cross family.
The Red Cross campaign will be
conducted during the period, Nov.
End to 11th, and the object of the
campaign is to obtain the neces-
sary funds to Garry On" until
each and every one of Our Boys"
are safely home and assured of
that opportunity for happiness
which is the birthright of every
American.
For example, did you know
that:
There, are 10000 soldiers still
in the hospitals of the country /;
that the Red Cross is serving
them?
An appropriation of $2,1OO, 900
has just been made by the Red
Cross to carry on its camp SER
vice?
Approximately 100000 soldiers
and soldiers families are being
cared for each month by the Red
Gross?
Two hundred ten thousand has
just been appropriated to continue
Canteen service until the end of
the year?
Red Cross commissions are op-
Grating among the sufferers of %
countries?
The government has turned ov-
er to the Red Cross more than
S10,000,000 in food and medicine
for distribution overseas?
One million eight hundred
thousand has been appropriated
by the Red Cross to combat the
spread of typhus, which is claim
ing thousands in Siberia?
The Red Cross aims to provide
every community with Public
Health nurses to forestall such
calamities as the influenza epi-
demic?
The Junior Red Cross is under
taking the alienation of suffering
among hundreds of thousands of
European children?
CAN YOU FORGET THAT
There are thousands and thous-
ands of soldiers still in service
overseas? That the Red Cross is
serving them? Then how about
those 10000 chaps that are keep
ing vigil on the Mexican border.
The Red Cross isn't forgetting
them either.
Really, now, does it look as tho
Red Cross work and responsible
ties are over?
Join the Red Cross, November
2nd to IL, 1919.

VIM. Tripp, who was charged
with assault and battery upon H.
J. Teller, was tried before Justice
Rule on Tuesday at the court
house. The defendant plead
guilty to the charge and after
hearing the evidence the court
sentenced him to pay a fine of
$500 and costs. The defendant
claimed that he was unable to
raise this amount of money and
was committed to the county Jail.
A petition has been sent in to
Judge S. w. Johnson asking that
he be released upon the payment
of the costs. The petition is ask
ed for on the grounds that the
county commissioners object to
feeding him and paying the costs,
particularly in view of the fact
that the fine imposed is excessive.

The Freshmen reception was
certainly a grand occasion and
everyone present enjoyed a most
delightful evening. In the first
part of the evening, games of all
sorts were played, while the lat
ter part, was devoted to dancing.
Prizes for the games were award
ed to Earl Daley, Mr.. Zumwalt,
and Mable Poole. Most delicious
refreshments were served which
were prepared by the Freshmen
girls. We give the Freshmen
credit for being good entertainers
and wish to thank them for the

growth that would have tended to aid
the progress of the flames. The laborers
complain that they are not allowed to take
home their working bills on which ac-
count they were unable to cut down much
OF the canes that might have been saved.
La Grange is expected to start crop or
