from November II to 1S. During
that period committees will be in
the various banks to collect member
ship fees.
Fifty dollars will be given by the
Red Cross to the Milk Fund establish
ed by the Parent Teachers Associa-
tion Of the North Side School and
the same amount to the South Side
School Association if it decides to
have such fund.
One of the important things in
connection with the drive is to let
the people of the United States know
what the organization stands for and
what it is doing. Of course each
chapter has is own special activities
but the organization as a whole has
definite program which may be
summed up as follows:
First.-Care for the men Of the
army and navy especially for the
former service men and women.
Second.--To extend the activities
of the public health nurse.
Third.--To be adequately prepared
for all emergencies and to do what
ever possible to prevent them.
Fourth.-To promote The Junior

The scratching was indiscriminate
and not reserved to any one party.
Senator Reed carried Mexico by on

ever accorded a Republican in the
history of city always overhelm-

Judge E. s. Can't won handsomely

lines,

were at least SO Republicans there
who voted the straight democratic
ticket. This seems 10 be tue in MANY
other places in the county.
A glance at the Ledger's election
table gives you the best insight into
the erratic manner in which the votes
were cast. There were no voting
combines formed in which to trade
candidates, but the individual cast
his ballot, it is apparent, with less
