Fifty per cent of tho monoy re ceived for annual duos, stays In tho homo chapter for local work, such as fighting tho recurrence of tho In fluenza epidemic last year. Klghty por cent of tho money for contribut ing memberships at $5.00 and sus taining memberships at $10.00, stays at homo. Ono contributing member ship Is worth eight annual member ships to tho local chapter, and ono sustaining Is worth 10 annuals. Harney county may not need theso additional memberships, and op timistic spirit hopes that It will not, but msfortunes can never be fore seen, and should thoy be noeded to fight another epidemic or to rellovo actual physical distress op suffering thin winter, the local Hed Cross chap- tor should bo prepared. Aside from the local needs, and Harney County chapter's finances are somewhat lew, the broad human itarian principles of the American Rod Cross should prompt a genorous response Whon tho last shot was fired by the contending armies on the Western front Just a llttlo moro than two years ago, the Hed Cross began Its greatest work.
