To Open Purse Strings

An appeal is being made to all citi-
zens of Kandiyohi County for the
benefit of the Red Cross organization
in our County during the two weeks

vassed thoroly by solicitors in an en-
deavor to enlist under the banners of
the worlds greatest humane society

county. This is large task but can
be done.
What It Means
1t means that every citizen must
acquaint himself with what the Red
Cross stands for and what it has done
for the people in Kandiyohi County
lts~plans for the future must also be
| known.
1t means in the second place that
every citizen must contribute and en-
roll according to his sincere estima-
ton of our Red Cross manifesting his
support and thanks for the humane
and merciful work OF the Red Cross.
| Our Debt to Red Cross
People of Kandiyohi County! A
glimpse merely at the record of the
Red Cross in our County will give you

fuse to aid in it's further endeavors
you have failed in vital part of your
| citizenship demands. The Red Cross
has worked tirelessly for the welfare
and benefit of the people of the coun-
ty and its reward should be great.

Miss 1nga Imsdahl, our Health |
nurse, need not be introduced. Her
work as the direct representative of
the Red Cross carries her to every
part OF the County to give assistance
and advice. Her work typifies the
purpose and good efforts of the Kan
diyohi County Red Cross.
During the past years private citi- !!
zens gave special benefits and contri- |
buted the proceeds to the Red Cross. |
Inc interest has run high. It should !
continue to do so and even ascend |
still higher.

give aid to the ailing and destitute.

IN this respect during the next year
will bring further praises.
The Home Service department will
continue to give help to needy fam
lilies. Child labor and delinquency
are matters within it's powers.

In view of the above pointed facts
which we have not colored as they
surely deserve it is apparent that ev-
cry citizen in our County has a pri-
vate duty to perform. He must show
his appreciation and do it gladly. |

one. REMEMBER THE DATES.
