BIG RETURNS FROM THE RED CROSS
CHRISTMAS DRIVE
FULLER COUNTS' REPORT NEXT WEEK
Indications are that Beaver county
will go over tho top In the Ited Cross
Christmas Drive. Reports on hand
show that we have subscribed seven
teen hundred dollars and many of
the districts are yet to "be heard from.
Loyal workers who aro making the
house to house canvass all over tho
county have been rlglit on tho Job.
We must exceed twenty-live hundred
dollars If wo are to vxeeed the quota.
County Chairman L. "L. Shaw advises
that he is receiving reports with ev-
ery mall and hopes to have complete
returns from Denver county by the
last of the week. Tho Christmas
drive has given very man and wo
man In Beaver county the opportun-
ity to do their "bit. TIiobc who hnvo
refused to Join indicate either that
they do not care what happens to tho
sons of their neighbors or that they
actually want ouf soldier boys to suf
fer and die that the Kaiser may tri-
umph. Tho men under 31 now in
France and tho training camps have
already earned the Tight to know
what all men over 31 aro doing to
help them win this war. Thoso of
thorn who return will demand to
know and will turn to tho member-
ship records of tho Red CrosB Chap-
ter in their home community as tho
most definite record of thorn; who
were willing to do the minimum If
no more. And whnt will these -vet
erans think of thoso whose names aro
not found there? If your name Is
not written there you had bettor 'do
your bit nt once.

PUBLIC WARDED AGAINST AT-
TEMPT TO HOARD
An order has been sent out by
Stratton D. Brooks Federal Food
Administrator for Oklahoma warn-
ing the public against attempting to
hoard flour sugar and other com-
modities which Is In pan:
"The excessive purchases ot flour
and sugar will create at once an artl
ficlal shortage which will make It
more difficult for those unable to
purchase In large quantities. Defin-
ite orders have been Usued to re
tailers to the effect that tho salo of
flour should be limited to 100 lbs.
and tho sain of sugar to 11 lbs. and
the request has been made that all
customers purchasing moro than this
amount by distributing their pur-
chases over various Btorcs bo
promptly reported to the Federal
Food Administration for Investiga-
tion." The people of Beaver county havo
not been given generally to attempt-
ing excessive hoarding but some
have tried to "hog" more than their
allotted share. All such will take no-
tice that this uractlco will not be ner-
-. u.
mltted In the future Ilopiember
100 lbs. ot flour and 11 lbs. ot sugar
is the limit. Don't try to "hog"
more. If you do you'll pay the pen-
alty. The retail merchants have no
choice In the matter. They can sell
you only the maximum amount and
you cannot buy tho same commodity
from other merchants at tho same
time without laying yoursolt liable.
Keep this In mind. There Is plenty
for all it it Is not hoarded and board-
ing will not be allowed.

Stock Selling Scheme
IN a few rdays a stock peddler will call on yon. Watch ut for
him. He will try to unload on you some stock in queer cor-
poration. The corporation it called the American Red Croat
and he'll tackle you for a membership. The prlce is small; only
dollar or such a matter. And ihe will tell yon in his oily tongue
about the dividends.
But dont you be fooled!' There will be no dividends except in
brotherhood and if you get into the corporation you will be stuck
for assessments. Lord Man the .assessments will come in thick and
fast before this war is over. Your heart will be wrung time and
again by the seed of our soldiers; by the hunger and want in the
families of ourisoldiers; by the disease and famine in Europe. And
while of course the assessments are voluntary they will come and
come and come. And you will have your choice meet them or
harden your heart. If you meet them your life will grow. Deny
them and your hank account will grow. Take your choice. Deny
them or pass them. The assessments are before you and if you buy
4tock in this corporation your whole life's destiny will hinge upon
the way you handle that stock.
And it Is a curious stock in this: The dividends as hereinbefore
stated are-in human brotherhood. From all over the earth wherever
men and women and children are in want and misery at home in
France in Italy in England even in Russia will come to America
during this war and forever after this war the deep sweet abiding
gratitude of those whom we have saved and succored. We are feed-
ing ithe starving through this corporation and they will not forget
it nor their children's children. We .are healing the sick the
tubercular the undernourished covered with sores and filth. We
are housing the homeless In the devastated area of Belgium and
France and Italy and the agents of this corporation are gathering
up the good will of humanity in bales and shiploads and are pouring
it back into America.
Now don't you want your share? Don't you want some of
these dividends? In other ages when peace shall come permanently
to this world shall come because America sowed in this great war
the seeds of good will where Germany sowed the dragon's teeth of
hate men too old to fight and women who could not go into battle
will say "I was a member of the Red Cross. Here is my member-
ship. It is a certificate from the herald's college of my nobility.
You children and all of yours for generations may know that in the
great Peace Corporation I was an investor. I drew my dividends
in brotherhood. I paid the assessments that came from my heart. I
am proud that I joined."
In a few dayt the stock peddler will call on you. Watch out for
bim. He will try to sell you something that will make you bigger
and better and kinder; something that will sting you for dividends
something that will make you or break you in the real game of life.
Watch out for that stuck seller. Don't let him fool you. If.
you become a stockholder in his corporation it will cost you your
heart's best aspirations your mind's best plans and much exceed-
ingly much of the work of your hands. And all you will get out
of it is your country's everlasting glory and your own soul's comfort
and content. So when that stock peddler comes around beware.
Don't let him fool ybu.
