the BADGE OF HONOR.

There come times in the history Of the
Americ: u Red Cross when everything
is out go-Ghat is, lavish expenditure of
funds is made for the relief Of distress
OF many kinds such as hunger, loss of
homes, replacement of clothing and
housen0ld effects and working nipple
meat, lost through fire, food, hurricane
and the like.
Ma orally ouch lavish expenditures
could not he continued indefinitely un-
less there were periods Of replacement
Of funds; times when the Red Cross
treasury is reiitad a ter being emptied
for the relief of The distressed, in order
that it may meet the next ~demand-a
demand that may come without a mo-
mert's warning in any of the American
possessions or in any part Of the world,
for the heart of the Red Cross is as
big as the world and its helping hand
stretches far and Withholds not.
One OF these times of r~epleHishing the
Red Cross treasury is with US of st.
CroiX right now. The 1926 Roll is now
being called and it behooves every one of
US to do our little part, to say to the
Red Cross we are here again to do our
bit in order that you may do your great
work Of relief when the next great emer-
gency arises. For it stands to reason
that preparedness is the keynote of Red
Cross activity. 1t cannot wait to gather
up resources after the emergency has
arisen. 1t must be ready beforehand to
spend with generous hand the resources
already in the treasury.
So, now, let Us respond quickly to the
present call of the Roll and let US with
hold not cur little mite or our more liber-
al contribution, both of which are so ne.
cessary to the continued work of the
great Mother of the World.
The Red Cross button is a badge of
honor. Be proud to wear it.
