J. CRITTEDEN, State Chairman, East Lake cemetery Friday afternoon at four oclock, and Camp Wilcox, As ever in its hour of need, the Red Cross turns to you. Never in the world's history has 'any organization faced a heavier task than does the Red Cross now. Here and overseas, wherever the tides of war have rolled, the Red Cross has spread its "net of mercy Stretching forth its hands to all in need; to Jew or Gentile, black or white; knowing no favorite, yet favoring all. Ready and eager to comfort at a time when comfort is most needed.

Helping the little home that's crushed beneath an iron hand, by showing mercy in a healthy, human way; re-building it, in fact, with stone on stone; replenishing empty bins and empty cupboards; bringing warmth to hearts and hearths too long neglected. Seeing all things with a mother's seventh sense that's blind to jealousy and meanness; seeing men in their true light as naughty children snatching, biting, bitter but with a hidden side that's quickest touched by mercy. Reaching out its hands across the sea to No Man's Land to cheer with warmer comforts thousands who must stand and wait in stenched and crawling holes and watersoaked "entrenchments where cold and wet bite deeper, so they write, than Boche steel or lead. It's warming thousands, feeding thousands, healing thousands from its store; the Greatest Mother in the World the Red Cross. But with every day the need grows graver.

With every day the number of our boys overseas grows larger. Not only must the work of the Red Cross go on it must be extended. The meshes of that "Net of Hercy" must be finer. Soon, the Red Cross will again ask for help, for funds to carry on YOUR work of mercy. Will you help prepare the way? Not with your money now, for when the time comes you will give and give nobly as already you have given days and dollars, but help with your influence.

With your influence on the people around youfather, brothers, husband, sons--with the men you know, with the people whose hearts have perhaps have not been touched as yours. Talk the Red Cross! Preach it and its needs! For it rests with you who understand, and feel, to wake Walker County to a realization of what the Red Cross is, of what it needs, and why its needs must be supplied! Do YOUR duty now, and when, in a few weeks, funds are being solicited everybody will be ready to giveto "Give till the heart says stop."

Millions of women nave given their time and their energies to the making of relief supplies in homes and chapter work rooms throughout the world.

Thousands of specially men and women have put their personal services at the command of the Red Cross for its relief work in this country and abroad. School children have enrolled themselves for the very large service of which they are capable and the nation as a whole is responding in memberships. Within twelve months their number increased from 300,000 to over twenty-two million. Are you one of these? If not, why not? It takes millions to carry on the work of Red Cross.
