GLENDALE
Appeal OF the Ned Cross

CleIy 10 Jue puDllc dJ large, 10 ralSt
ten million of dollars to aid those
who have been unfortunate enough
to suffer by the recent drought.
People in parts of twenty-four
states are suffering and their cry
comes to us s'for help.
The response to this appeal should
be universal, and the money to
meet the wants of the society should
be contributed by those who are able
to pay.
At this time there are so many of
our people out of work and in need
themselves, otherwise they would
be glad to help in this great cause.
The farmers at the present time
can pay but little; and it remains
for those who are employed to pay
as much as they can, and then the
wealthy men of the nation should
make good any deficiency which may
exist.
The people of the world and es-
pecially those who reside in the
United States owe a debt of graft
tude (Which can never be repaid) to
the Red Cross Society for the won
derful work they have performed at
different times for the relief of
those who stand in need.
In war, flood, famine or any other
calamity the representatives of this
great society will be the first upon
the ground to offer relief to those
who suffer from any of these ex-
treme misfOrtunes.
Delaware's share of the quota is |
fifty-five thousand dollars, which |
should be raised easily without
bearing too heavily ON the working |
people who are employed.
The appeal of Messrs. DUPONT,
Townsend and Scott to the people of
Delaware, is bearing fruit and soon
the amount will be raised.
Delaware always stands in the
forefront when it comes to raising
money to help those in need.
Lagrippe
Influenza in mild form seem to
have afflicted many of our citizens

therboards succeed i'll subduing the
