Wattles, Federal Food Administrator for Nebraska uiges every Nebraskan to consecrate him self to his government and thereby irako possible the early winning of the war. He says: "1918 will be the most important year in the history of the war. The fate of nations is to bo settled; the future of Democracy is to be deter mined; the divine right of kings to rule the world is either to triumph or fail. "What can I do for my country should be the question of every man and woman throughout the lund. "It is tho time for consecration on the part of everyone consecration of time and energy and effort conse cration of money and property con secration by sacrifice and service. "Sacrifice and service will be re quired of every one. Petty quarrels must bo forgotten; petty jealousies must be buried so deep they will never come back; struggles for pol itical power and prestigo must bo re legated to the scrap heap ofambitions, und that keen commercial sense of Ameiicans must bo adapted to tho winning of this war. "Wo must devote our lhes to tho all important work of preserving that wonderful gift which our forefathers established with their blood a free and Independent government." o Buptist Church Notes.

Harper and daughter, Miss Grace, spent Christmas week with his daughters Mesdamcs Wes and George Cordlo at Riverton, re luming home Saturday, Rew V. M, Harper, Pastor, All Americans at Home Must Back Up This Great Work Effectually Join the Red Cross Today. Tho American Red Cross has on Its hands one of the world's greatest and grimmest jobs. In order to do tho work, tho organization must have at once flfeen million members. It now has Ave million on the rolls and Is campaigning to secure the ten million nddltlonul members by Christmas eve. Every man, woman and child in this community ought to belong to the Red Cross. Being a member doesn't menu that one is expected to go to Europe,' enrry wounded soldiers oft the battle fields and nurse them In the hospitals. It doesn't mean that one need go to the devastated areas of France, or Bel-1 glum, or Poland, or Serbia, and glvo personal care to the starving, freezing, nuked, homeless women and children there. But It does mean that those of us who stay comfortably nt homo will do as much as We can in every way to back up the organization already at work "over there." It does mean that the men among us will contribute our bit to help our brothers lighting the cause of liberty In Europe. It does mean that the mothers among us will knit and sew for the wretched mothers of Europe und their pitiful babies. It does mean that our young women will show practical sympathy for the young women along the "western front" nnd In Serbia who have suffered unspeakable cruelties at the hands of bestial enemy soldiers. It docs mean that our children be made to understand the curse upon the children of Europe, nnd be taught to make some sort of sacrifice for the cause of humanity. It does mean that each of us will do what he can Individually to supply plenty of comforts for our soldiers lighting the enemy and necessities for the wounded in hospitals. Stricken Europe Is crying to heaven for relief, and Providence Is answering that prayer through the Instrumental ity of the American Red Cross. ' Now If It hod unlimited funds but only a comparatively few members, the Red Cross would bo unable to do the work before It. Thu first grrat need is for millions of members the sup port of the folks "back home." I to you know why our lads in the army and navy are acquitting them selves so creditably why they are amazing tho allies by their bravery, In telligence and enthusiasm? It Is be cause those lads are thinking always of .their mothers and dads and sisters and sweethearts and kid brothers. The same thing goes for the Red Cross. When all tho dads and moth ers and sisters and sweethearts and kid brothers In America show their In terest and sympathy for Red Cross work, as members of the Red Cross and as working members, why the Red Cross will cover Itself with glory for ever more. A year's membership In the Red Cross costs just one dollar. If onoi wishes to rend the Red Cross Maga zine for a year he pays another dol lar. Join now. You will never spend a dollar In a butter cause. The Red Cross button is a badge of honor. Wear one I ' Now Red Cross Asks You and Me to Do Our Part for Those "Over There" So We Must Join. In war-torn Europe today there nro millions of mothers nnd bnbles at tho point of denth from nctunl starvation. Winter is nt hand. Yet they are rag ged and homeless. They arc diseased tuberculosis, dysentery, skin affec tions, fevers nro ravaging them. They arc widowed und orphaned nnd broken with grief. In order to protect Amerlcn nnd save the liberties for which the allies have been battling three years, our own Inds are over there now, fighting and dying so thnt you and I and our wives I and our daughters anu Dnmes may noi suffer unspcnknblo cruelties at the hands of enemy savages. Now then : The people of America, through their Red Cross, have under laken to right the hideous wrongs tho Teutons have done to noncombatants In Europe, so far as It Is possible to do so. It means building thousands of homes, providing food, clothing and caro for millions, conducting hundreds of hospitals on a large scale and thou- pands of medical dispensaries. It is (he biggest peace job tho world has ever seen. But that Isn't all not by a long shot. The American Red Cross has a colos pal war labor to perform. It must es tablish and operate hundreds of lnrgol military hospitals of various kinds fori nur own armies and those of our al lies. It must provide necessities and comforts for the fighting men and for the noble women who are nursing the wounded. In short, It must do every thing possible to take some of the curse out of war. This work is already well under way. Our Red Cross Is helping all the stricken people on a great scale. Our Reil Cross must not fall down in the Job. You and I are responsi ble for the success of the enterprise.' Df course we can't go over there, nndj leuiuuy oiuiii nouses aim teen :ho hungry and clothe the naked and uirso the sle':. Rut we can back up he great machine already In tho field mil at work. What ran we do you nnd I? : Well, first of all wo must be mem-' Dors of the Red Cross. At this wrlt- ing the organisation needs millions more of us on Its muster rolls. Wo rompnso the army at home support ing the nnny In the field both peace ful armies. At home here we form rhnpters and circles that furnish cloth ing and hospital supplies for soldiers nnd civilians In Europe. We must provide funds. We must show direct, Intimate, personal Interest In what the Ited Cross field organization Is doing. We must knit und sew and save and give. Right now the Red Cross Is cam paigning forl 5,000,000 members. Fif teen million members by Christ ians Eve Is the slogan. One year's, membership costs one dollar. IJy pay-j ing an additional dollar the member! pets the Red Cross Magazine for a' year. , Every man, woman and child In this1 community ought to ho wearing a Red; Cross pin on Christmas Day. Every father should make each of his chll-! iren a Christmas gift of a Red Crosa jiembershlp and explain to tho youngsters the meaning of the present. THE AMERICAN RED CROSS IS MAKING FRIENDS FOR ALL ETERNITY Bleeding, ragged, starving, freezing, homeless, sick Eu rope gave utterance to a cry of misery and 6orrow and des pair, and the American Red Cross has answered It In a magnificent way. In binding the wounds, clothing the naked, feedlnglthe hungry, housing the homeless, nursing the 6lck, it is rending Europe to America by tics of friendship that will' last through tho ages. The Red Cross Is shipping Into Paris dally 300 tons of food, clothing, hospital supplies, etc. Much of this Is used Immediately. The surplus goes Into a 100,000-ton warehouse for emergency and against the day .American soldiers will ctart fighting on a larne scale. When emergency comes, the Red Cross Is ready. During the recent enemy drive Into Italy the Italians appealed for help. Within two days our Red Cross had sent 45 carloads of food and supplies from Paris. The Red Cross has established In France a factory for the construction of artificial limbs. Within the last few months it has supplied hundreds of French soldiers with wooden legs. Whatever the Red Cross uses must come from America must come from generous American hearts and willing Amer ican hands. During November the central division of the Red Cross, comprising the states of Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska, sent to France 600,000 surgical dressings, 285,000 knitted articles and 335,000 pieces of hospital linen. Yet It can't do enough because it hasn't half enough members. You Ouglit to Belong to the Red Cross. Your Help Is Much Needed Memhership Costs a Dollar or Two Dollars for a Year No More. Be a Patriot Join Before Christmas Eve. 1 WtVWCTMKIM VtfVV-V-V.VV.V.VAV.V.VAV-V.V-V.V.V.,,liVAV-VVJV
