AMERICAN RED
CROSS NEED YOU
EVERY WOMAN IN MOUNT JOY
CAN AND SHOULD ASSIST
IN THE WORK RECENTLY
STARTED HERE.
Do you know that the population
of Japan is 40,000,000 and that its
Red Cross membership is 1,800,000?
Germany’s population is 67,000,000
and its Red Cross membership is
1,000,000. The population of the
United States is 100,000,000 and its
Red Cross membership is only 160,-
000. Are we, as good true Americans
going to trail other countries in this
work and especially at this time?
The Red Cross Society is the one
agency for relief commissioned by
the government in time of war or di-
saster. Red Cross nurses and doctors
go into the field; but most important
duties rest upon members at home.
In time of war the Red Cross must
equip and maintain field and base hos-
pitals; find for anxious friends sick,
wounded and missing men; transport
them with tender care to their homes;
collect, prepare and distribute sup-
plies.
In time of peace it must be kept
ready for immediate relief in case of
disaster. The necessity ror this was
shown in the Galveston flood, the San
Francisco fire, the Titanic wreck,
Ohio floods and eighty other disasters
In all of these the Red Cross provid-
ed immedaite shelter, food, clothing,
and care for the sick, dying, and
thousands of people temporarily de-
pendent—distributing more than $15,
000,000 in money and supplies.
Your Red Cross should have a mil-
lion members. It is mobilizing the
nation’s generous impulses, preparing
to meet not only the possible disas-
ter of war, but also the inevitable
disasters of peace.
The organization recently started
here held a most satisfactory and en-
couraging meeting last Wednesday
afternoon in the Council Chamber.
Mrs. LeCoq and Mrs. Smith were pres
ent from the Harrisburg Red Cross
Chapter, and explained details of the
work and gave much valuable infor-
mation. At this meeting, by a unan-
imous vote, the organization became
an auxiliary of the Harrisburg Chap-
ter.
The Harrisburg Chapter sends a
representative to Washington each
week, thereby keeping in close touch
with the work at the National Head-
quarters. Our Auxiliary will be
greatly helped by being affiliated with
a Chapter so well organized and ably
managed.
We wish to emphasize a statement
made by our visitors from Harrisburg
viz.: That all ladies who do not feel
able at this time to pay the member-
ship fee of $1.00, are not only cor-
dially invited, but urged to meet with
us each week and render all the help
possible in making the hospital and
other supplies so very greatly need-
ed. Your country needs your help—
needs it now.
Now that our organization is an
auxiliary to a Chapter one half the
membership fee of $1.00 is retained
by our Auxiliary to be used as de-
mands are made upon us.
Please hand your name and your
dollar, your ten or twenty to Mrs. H.
S. Newcomer, Mount Joy.

WORKMEN COME TO LAN-
CASTER TO GET BOOZE
Combinations of two and three
cars hooked together—in other
words, train service—will soon be
established on the Coatesville line of
the Conestoga Traction Company.
So great has the travel on this
branch line become that this means
will be used to overcome the conges-
tion. Four new cars of the pay-as-
you-enter type have been ordered at
an expense of $11,000 each and as
soon as they arrive the new service
will be started.

Guess Billy is About Right
In New York, the other day, Billy
Sunday made two remarkable ex-
pressions. He said that the moral
degeneration of America would con-
tinme until women dress more
modestly, and added: “A man can’t
look at a woman as she dresses to-
day and have prayer meeting
thoughts.” He is opposed to Dar-
winism for he declares if a minister
believes in and teaches evolution he
is a stinking skunk.
