NEEDS OUR UNITED SUPPORT
The History of the American Red Cross
Has Been One of Self Sacrifice
History, ancient or mcdei n does not n cord the deeds of another organization
like the American Red Cross. The work of this charitable organization is
just as important as thatif the men in the first line of defense, the fatality
list of the Red Cross in active operation on the field of battle is just as large
as that of the artillery or infantry. But unlike any other branch of the ser
vice, the Red Cross must be financed by the free-will offerings of the Amer
ican people.
Box Butte County Must Raise $7 000 This Week.
The Country Will Raise $100,000,000
What Are YOU Going to Give
The Boys will soon be marching away, the tramp of the
armed forces will soon be followed by the belching of
artillery fire; the American troops many ot them from
Nebraska and Alliance will be facing this blast which
has claimed countless thousands during the past three
yeare.
Thousands of young men have been saved by the untiring work of the Red
Cross iu the field and thousands of Nebraska boys will be saved. But to do
this work the Red Cross must have funds and the funds must be raised by
the people of Box Butte county, of the state of Nebraska and of the nation.
vAs a part of the great force that is to finance the Red Cross work you are
asked to contribute, one dollar, two, five ten, a hundred or as much as you
can afford. The funds arc placed in the hands of the treasury department
of the United States an official receipt is sent you direct from Washington.
.You can make your donation and play your part in this greatest of all wars
i ight here in Alliance by donating to the Red Cross.
sJb
Do it now, before the reports of the dead and injured are ringing in your
ears then t may be too late to save the young men who are going forth in
the faith that they will be cared for by your doaation.
