THE WAR
By Jack Taggart
This fall marks the third year that
the great conflict'has been going on
ervice. The second day he
was wounded and death finally re
sulted from the wound. Why? Be
cause there was no Red Cross to fur
nish the attention necessary to re
store him to health. You must help
make a success of our Red Cross. Sup
pose this boy was yours, buried you
knew not where just because of your
failure to help this cause. They need
money badly now. Do your bit and
don’t be a slacker. Help our ener
getic and determined young women
of Dnnlv county.
