The good people of this community onco more com

and gifts..
Ours Is a prosperous community. None of us Is IJkely to
suffer this winter for want of food, clothing or shelter, though
high prices and certain forced economics will make us real
ize the United States Is at war thousands of mlle3 away. A
few of us who have given otir boys to the nation may Jo.se
them. But generally specking, we shall feel perfectly
cccurc, and when We stop to think about It, we shall thank
God more cr less heartily for his blessings.

German savr.cso. Now these people are homeless, hungry,
naked and sick. At least half of them have tuberculosis,
with scarcely a fighting chnuce for life. The whole of Franco
Is making unheard of sacrifices to save the nation.
Poor little Belgium io a wreck a dying wreck. Her
small army hao been practically exterminated. Her boys
and old men have been shpt down In cold blood by tho
kaiser's heroes. Her daughters havo been dragged Into
slavery worse than death. Her babies havo been Impnled
on bayonets and nailed to barn doora by playful Teutonic
soldiers. About all that Is left of Belgium Io her deathless
spirit.
And Serbia. Serbia Is now but a name In history. A
nation become a slaughter pen and charnel house. A peoplo
wiped clean off the earth.
What has been said of France applies equally to Italy,
Roumanla and Russian Poland.
Europe hno been a hell of suffering and grief for threo
' years. What have the last threo years meant to tho United
States? Prosperity and peace.
Today all stricken Europo Is uttering that age-old lamen
tation, "Out of the depths, Oh Lord, havo I cried unto Thee; ,
Lord hear my voice." And the American Red Cross Is tho
Instrument through which Provldenco Io answering the prayer.
The Red Cross Is "over there" now, performing a labor of
mercy and paying a debt of fellowship on a scale never before
known. But It must havo your help and mine In order to
carry on Its vast enterprise In the name of humanity. So
tho organization Io campaigning tho nation for 15,000,000
members.
Every man, woman and child In this community ought
to belong to tho Red Cross. Tho membership fee Is S1.00.
Another dollar brings tho member the Red Cross Magazine
for a year.
Every $1.00 or $2.00 membership helps Just oo much to
back up our American boys In khaki helps Just so much to
tako the frightful curse from the lives of millions of home
less, starving, freezing, diseased mothers and babies In dev
astated France, Serbia, Belgium, Poland and Roumanla.
Tho finest Christmas gift you can make Is a Red Cross
membership. Don't fall to como across by Christmas evel
