A SHIP OF RESCUE
Always Travels In Troubled
Waters and Answers Every
Cry of Distress.
REST OF WORLD (S TOO BUSY
Christmas Roll Call Gives Every On
a Chance to Take Part In
Rebuilding Our Broken
World.
The Amerlrnn Red Cross Is perhnpe
like nothing so much as a stanch mid
loynl ship In n storm. It goes Its uny
with senses tuned to cntch nny cry for
help. And when that cry comes. It
drives Instantly and without fear
strnlght to the pluce of distress. In
flood and Are and rilsnstcr. Just n the
ship braves the perils of tumbling
seas nnd hnr.ardous rescue work. And.
again, like the ship. It STANDS BY
till those endangered are helped to
safety.
Meanwhile the rest of the world,
husy with Its own problems, hurries
home dnrliwt these times of storm and
stress, and draws down the blinds.
At lenst tltnt Is the way It hns been
In the pnst. But now comes the Christ
mas Roll Call. And It Is a privilege,
not a pest. It has no preferences. It
plays no favorites. It makes no ex
ceptions. Jt summons every man,
woman and child In the country. It
holds nut to each one the blessed op
portunity to ride on every Red Cross
ship of mercy, to speed with every
Red Cross train of relief that encir
cles the earth on their errands of
mercy.
The only way for anyone to escape
the possibility of some time having to
accept CHARITY from the Red Cross
Is to become ONE with the Red Cross.
For terrible calamity may come to us
all. The money wealth of the Belgians
was as nothing when they were stripped
of clothing and food. And thr,t feel
ing of oneness with the organisation
that our men on the other side have
had during the war was not merely a
great, hut was the GREATEST, factor
In enabling the Red Cross to give the
efficient aid thatjt did.
Let ns remember what Mrs. Mar
garet Ialng, canteen worker In France,
told about our boys who came out of
the hospitals without money:
"Sometimes they would be able to
make up a few cents between them,"
she said, "and sometimes they did not
have anything. They would hang be
hind those who could pay. And they
would look at the food so wistfully
that It made one fight back the tears.
The only way we could get them to
take what they needed nnd craved was
by saying: 'You know, boys, this was
all paid for by your own people at
home.' Then Immediately their nttl- j
rude would change and they would
ay i 'Why, yes, my mother' or 'my sis
ter gives to the Aed Cross.' And then
how they would pitch In."
We are proud, we Americans. We
do not want something for nothing.
AJtd here Is our glorious, opportunity I
to take the rest of our nation by the
band, and with all pride and dignity In-'
sure ourselves of our own help In time .
of adversity.
j i
This Christmas Roll Call gives every
one a chnnce to be a "Dollar Man." i
And most of us can be one right at
home. For by Joining the Red Cross
now nnd paying the dollar we become
as actively engaged In the great work
as If we were giving all of our time
0 It. We are merely making our dol-1
lar substitute for those of us who are
too busy to give all of our time to the '
Red Cross. I
"Onie of the great achievements of
the Red Cross have been told over anrt j
over, until the facts may seem old to
you. But on this occasion they are
worth telling again. We should not
forget, for Instance, how the women
of this nation, like our first Colonial
mothers, turned suddenly Into great
manufacturers and made garments and
applies worth $30,000,000 last year.
Nor let us forget how $111,000,000 was
sent Into the devastated countries dur
!tK the time while men and women,
giving their time for nothing, went
with those dollars to see that they ,
were ued In the way they were most
needed. And the American Red Crose
sent medicines and anesthetics to the
hospitals of France when they were j
almost unobtainable, so that our boys ;
and their allies might have some re-1
lief from the torment of their wounds, I
and a chance at ultimate recovery. I
Tin rt are so many things to tell ;
that It Is Impossible to spread the
whole story In this limited space. But
each worker will know. For the let
tan that have come from the boys In
the camps "over here" and from the
fields "over there" have been full of
the reasons. Ask the mother of any
boy who was Imprisoned behind the
cruel lines where food was scarce even
for thj enemy army, but who got his
20 pounds of biscuits, pork and beans,
cocoa und other good, wholesome
things, every week.
The roofs are at hand everywhere.
The reasons are manifest. Everyone
should In ciiiiie a member of the widest,
best and holiest crusade the world
has ever known. Membership In the
Red Cross should be more universal
than taxes; as universal as the public
school, public opinion, or our own pub
lic government.

A Happy New Year

To you our friends and neighbors
we wish the greatest of
CHRISTMAS JOY
Returning peace has brought its cheer to every
heart and home. To the boys in the service let us
all send out from our hearts a thankful message
wishing them Happiness on this Christmay day.
The fanners of the country have indeed, great cause to be happy. They
have, by their loyalty to the task allotted them, made it possible for the armies
of the Allied forces to free the world from despotism. Their share of the cre
dit due is a large share and they are happy because of the fact that they were
able to preform so great a duty. They have, at the same time, prospered
some more than others of course, but all have shared the prosperity that has
come to us all. Those who have seen the advantages of proper organization
have been the gainers and they urge that you join with them. Why not now!
The Farmers Union Co-operative and Educational Association is made up
of the farmers who have gained through organization. It extends to you the
best wishes of the season and an invitation to become a member. The succesa of
the past is the best recommendation that can be offered.
