GIVE TO RED CROSS

Morgan county's quota for the
Red Cross War Fund is $4,000. The
drive is now on and all contribu-
tions may be left at any of the five
banks of the county. The Red Cross
is people partnership in time of
need. 1t is patriotism in action to
give to the Red Cross. The miser-
les of war cannot be measured by
quotas and mathematical yardsticks
nor personal conveniences. The
president, the American people and
our fighting men expect much OF
us. An avalanche of giving now
will help the Red Cross to deliver
the goods.
Morgan county went over the top
in 1917 and 1918, and we can do it
again, if everybody heartily and
willingly give of their means.
