$2.00 Per Year January 1 1
The editor has long deferred a raise in the subscription price
of The Frontier, but the time has come when the raise must
be made in order to make both ends meet. For the past year
the price of everything that enters into the production of a
newspaper has advanced, the postage rate more than doubling
last July. In order to meet this increased cost it becomes
necessary to increase the subscription price to $2.00 per year
and it will become effective January 1, 1919. Most of the
weekly newspapers of the state have advanced their sub
scription price within the past year, to meet the increased
cost of production. We had hoped that it would be un
necessary to increase the subscription price, but we find that
it is impossible to produce a paper at the old rate of $1.50 per
year and make both ends meet, hence the raise.
We will accept renewals and back subscriptions at the old
rate of $1.50 per year until January 1, when the price goes to
$2.00. Subscribers who desire may pay five years in ad
vance at the present rates, but will not accept subscription
for a longer period at that price. Our readers are asked to
take due notice of this matter and get in with their sub
scription before January 1 and save fifty cents a year. It
Ig will be to your advantage and we will be satisfied.

Red Cross Christmas Roll Call.
During the week of December 10 to
28, will be held the Red Cross Mem
bership Roll Call which is, in reality
the annual membership campaign.
With the close of December 1918 ail
Red Gross memberships, except life
expire. The Roll Call is to be held
not only for the purpose of renewing
the expiring memberships but to ob
tain new ones as.well. Walter W.
Head, Vice President of the Omaha
National Bank has been chosen as the
State Director of this Roll Call for Ne
braska. He has already opened of
fices, adjacent to the other state Red
Cross offices, in the Farnam building
in Omaha and entered actively into
the work. He is at present engaged
in selecting Committee Chairmen in
the various towns in the state and ex
pects to have the list of their names
ready to announce by the end of the
week.
Relative to the Roll Call Mr. Head
makes the following announcement:
“In calling upon the people of Ne
braska, who are members of the Red
Cross, to renew their membership I
am confident that not one of them will
fail to do so. I am equally confident
that those who are not already mem
bers will take this opportunity to join.
In the various drives that have gone
before, Nebraska has made an enviable
record. She stands at the top and
forefront of other states in the union
in this respect and is going to keep up
the record. Our slogan for the coming
Roll Call is. “EVERY MAN, WO
MAN AND CHILD IN NEBRASKA
A RED CROSS MEMBER.” That
means a one hundred per c£nt mem
bership. I knew that we can do it
and we will.
The continued need rf T.’.*l Cross is
best expressed in a message tele
graphed to us from National Red Cross
Headquarters which reads as follows:
“On February 10, last year, nearly
six weeks before the United States
declared war, the National Red Cross
Headquarters advised its chapters to
prepare for War. That which has fol
lowed in the records of the Red Cross
in helping to win the war and to re
lieve the suffering growing out of it,
constitutes something of which every
American citizen has a right to be
proud. Every Red Cross worker must
feel a sense of satisfaction in having
had a share in it all.
“But even with peace, let no one
suppose that the work of the Red
Cross is finished. Millions of Ameri
can boys still are under arms; thous
ands of them are sick and wounded.
Owing to a shortage of shipping it
may take us a year or more to bring
our boys home from France. But
whatever the time, our protecting
arms must be about them and their
families over the whole period that
must elapse before normal peace life
can be resumed. Our soldiers and
sailors are enlisted until the comman
der-in-chief tells them there is more'
work for them to do. Let every Red
Cross member and worker, both man
and woman, show our soldiers and
sailors that to care for their health,
wealth and happiness we are enlisted
for no less period than they.
* “The cessation of hostilities may
reveal a picture of misery such as the
world has never seen before, especi
ally in many countries which cannot
help themselves. The American peo
ple will expect the Red Cross to con
tinue to act as their agent in repair
ing broken spirits and broken bcsiies.
Peace terms and peace conditions will
determine how we can best minister
to the vast broken areas which have
been harrowed by war and for this
great act of mercy the heart and
spirit of the American people must
continue to be mobolized through the
American Red Cross.
“On behalf of the War Council, we
accordingly ask each member of our
splendid body of workers throughout
tne land, to bear in mind the solemn
obligation which rests with each one
of us to carry on.
“We cannot abate for an instant in
our efforts or our spirits. There will
be an abundance of work to do and.
at the moment of peace, let no Red
Cross worker falter. Our spirit must
now call us to show that not the roar
of cannon, nor the blood of our people
alone directs our activities, but that
a great people will continue to respond
greatly and freely to its obligation
and opportunity to serve.”
