Mobilize for Peace

The armistic has been signed, but
the Red Cross is waging war that
knows no armistic-a war aginst dis
ease, unhealthy living conditions,
starvation-an the lingering poisonss
of the past.
The Red Cross asks you to hold
fast to the ranks; to carry on in the
work of restoration; to keep the faith
with the widows and orphans of the
heroic millions who died on Europe's
Calvary that you might live. Are
you going to sign on armistice before
this war is over?
The Red Cross has never been con-
tent with temporary makeshift meth
DDS of relief-the work must be done
well or not at all, and this work of
war relief has only just begun.
Worldwide distress has followed in
the wake of this war. The Red Cross
needs workers as never before. 1t
needs your heart, pour brain, your
hands-could you devote them to a
better cause?
The third Red Cross Roll Call will
be held November I'd to 18th. The
goal is 100000 members. There
is need for the immediate services OF
900, 900 volunteer workers to enroll
them. Are you ready to answer the
call? Then sign up for volunteer
work at your nearest Red Cross local
Chapter and mobilize for peace.
Attention Voters
wish to say I stand for good roads
and especially for schools, and solicit
voters with this understanding. |
wish to make no false promises to
any voter. This announcement is
made because I might overlook some
one in my canvass, and want all of

have large appropriations. Kansas
is spending $4,000, N .ssachuSetts
$4,000 and other states smaller
amounts. The South Carolina wo-

Letters, sent out under plan
devised by the War Camp Commun-

words from home folks TO reach the
injured boys after they arrive on

those lads who can to visit them at

of the severely wounded, they call
on the men in the wards, carrying
cheer, home papers that are avidly
seized, and flowers or fruit.
