President Wilson’s
Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call Message.
The White House,
Washington, D. C.
, Nov. 26, 1818.
To the American People:
One year ago twenty-two mil
lion Americans, pby enrolling as
members of ttijc Red Cross at
Christmas time,fsent to the man
who were fighting our battles
overseas a stimulating message of
cheer and good will. They made
it clear that our people were of
their own free choice united with
their government in the determi
nation not only to wage war with
the instruments of destruction, but
also by every me ms in their pow
er to repair the ravages of the in
vader and sustain and renew the
spirit of the ar\ny and of the
homes which tTey represented.
The friends of if • American Red
Cross in Italy, Belgium and France
haye told, and w*jl tell again, the
story of how the ked Cross work
ers restored mOrade in the hospit
als, in the camps* and at the can
tonments, and wl Ought to be very
proud that we have been permit
ted to be of service to those whose
sufferings and wjhose glory are
the heritage of humanity.
Now, by Ggrace, the Red
Cross Christ§i|£i|essage of 1918
is to be a message of peace as well
as a message of fjgood will. But

peace does not mean that we can
fold our hands. It means further
sacrifice. Our membership must
hold together and be increased
for the great tasksrto come; We
must prove conclusively to an at
tentive world that America, is per
manently aroused to tfie needs of
the new era, our Sid indifference
gone forever.
The exact nature of the future
service of the Red Cross will de
pend upon the programme of the
associated governments, but there
is immediate need today for every
heartening word and for every
helpful service. We must not
forget that our soldiers and our
sailors are still under orders and
stilj, } have duties to perform of the
highest consequence, and that the
Red Cross Christmas membership
means a great deal to them. Th#
people of the saddened lands,'
moreover, returning home today
where there are no homes must
have the assurance that the hearts
of our people are with him in the
dark and joubtful days ahead.
Let us, soa’ar as we can, help
them back to faith in mercy aijd
in future happiness. • l
As President of the Red OTqss,
conscious in this great hour of the
value of such a message from the
American people, I should be glad
if every American would join the
Red Cross for 1919, and thus send
forth to the whole human family
the Christmas greeting for which
it waits and for which It stands in
greatest need.

Bellah Puts Up.
Hon. W. A. Bellah has “come
across” handsomely and presents
The Weekly a couple of 10-pound
rutabaga turnips, and a third not
quite so hefty. Consequently, the
title of Champion Turnip Raiser
of Henry county is justly trans
ferred to him. He states that he
has four acres with plenty others
fully equal to the 10-pound speci
mens. • So if any one doubt the
correctness of this weight, just
drop around to his little patch and
get a sample.
