MONEY.
There is 110 let-up to the need
for money for the Red Cross.
Each Red Cross branch should
have a financial committee and
every proper expedient for raisi-
ng money should be utilized.
It is reported that at school dis-
trict No. Ill, near the Sac and
Fox Agency, the district council
of defense has adopted the plan of
taking voluntary contibutions at
each meeting, and that an acre of
ground has been set aside for the
raising of cotton to be sold for the
Red Cross, the work to be done
by volunteers.
These suggestions should be ad-
opted everywhere. If you will
cut slots in the tops of glass fruit
jars, past red crosses on the sides
of the jars and place the jars in
hotels, stoi'i dennis and at other
places where people congregate,
you will find yourselves well re-
paid for the c-tfort.
At Chandler a subscription list
has been sign-, d by business men
and others,* pledging definite mo-
nthly contribution. This should
be done at each branch and should
include farmers in the respective
communities.
If you have not been persuaded
heretofore of the need for greater
effort, the horrible battle now be-
ing fouget in France should con-
vince you. No matter how much
