1116 GREAT WORK
THE AUGUST QUOTA OF THE CASS
COUNTY CHAPTER LARG
EST YET.
WILL SEND LARGE SHIPMENT
This Chapter, Largest In State Hav
ing Nov Twenty
Branches.
From Friday's Daily.
Just a short time since there was.
another lied Cross branch organized
making the twentieth of the Cass
County Red Cross, it being one lo
cated in the vicinity of Rock Eluffs.
During the hot days of the sum
mer the ladies of the Red Cross, not
one but all of them, were working
like beavers at the rooms, the weath
er was not too hot, or the rooms too
crowded, but what they put in the
time, and it was not alone here but
throughout the whole county, they
did their part.
And to look at the piles of com
pleted new work, garments, surgical
dressings, and knotted work, such
as socks, sweaters, robes, for the
convalescents, and garments for the
refugees in both France and Bel
gium, it would astonish one to see
what they have done, the room
which they are using for a store
Toom is piled high with the goods,
ready for shipment, a portion of
them packed and in boxes, while
others are still awaiting for the
packing. The ladies would like all
who are interested in the work, and
all are, to come and examine and
see what has been done. Not that
they are wanting to receive praise
for the same, though they are de
serving of much commendation for
their faithful work of love, but that
the people rray know just what is
being done, and that the Red Cross
ladies in this county are loyal to
the charge placed upon them.
The work is immense, and while
the days were hot. and the tasks
arduous, the ladies one and all, have
worked With a determination to get
the work out. and is the only thing
which enabled them to do as they
have done. The labor, was one of
patriotism and love, it was for the
brothers, the sons, the cousins, and
for all Americans who are over there,
a? well as a feeling of love for the
onpresfpd cf Belgium and France.
The ladies have done a work, which
will last as a memento of their love,
for justice and right, though the
years to come. With the coming
month, there will be an election,
and at that tim? the ones holding
the offices will not be candidates for
re-election, but will want the places
filled by people cf good executive
ability, and who can take the work
i:p, where those who have been most
interested, have so noble pushed it.
Those who are now to go out of the
office, feel that with the expiration
cf their terms, some one else should
f tep in, assume and direct the work
of this chapter.
While so feeling, they are well
pleased with what they have been
r.ble to accomplish, and are more
than willing to assist in any way to
make the work more successful in
the future than it has been in the
past. Come every one who can, and
see the work accomplished, and get
a vision of what there Is to do, and
' do all you can for the cause, the most
pressing af this time.
