Lincoln county boys will bo included
In tho next call. The board will meet

Giro nnd Giro Cheerfully.
Thoro will probably bo somo men In
North Platto who will object to con
tributing to tho Red Cross drive on tho
basis formulated by tho executive
committee and may rant nnd swear
and got hot under tho collar. Thoy!
will question tho right of any commit-1
teo to designate the amount of money
thoy Bhall contribute, but Tho Tribune
would advise against becoming over
heated. The Red Cross is a part of
tho war tocpense which has been del-,
gated to the general public to, boar,
and it must be borne. The man who'
fails to contribute according: to his in
come or earning capacity hacks loyalty
to tho boys who arc in the Bcrvlco, for ,
it is for the comfort and welfare, of tho
nen who are in service that theso
Red Cross funds are raised and dis
bursed. Tho government asks that
thcSo fnnds bo raised, and if you fail
to respond to this request you are a
"slacker" and not ono , hundred per
cent loyal.
The basis outlined by the commit
tee will not pinch anyono; it is rated
according to incomo, "and it can bo
pa'Id in four ttionthly installments,
which makes it all the less "burden
some. The baslg has been made on such a
per centago that insures raising tho
sum that has been apportioned to
North Platte, which is $5,500.
