This is one of the questions that has been interesting the leaders in the great Red Cross drive for $400,000. There are nearly 100,000 children of school age in Ore gon and they are," or soon will be out of school for their summer vacations and the Red Cross committee is confi dent that these thousands of young patriots will be able to make a splendid showing in gifts to the Red Cross if they exercise a little more energy and perseverance in work ing for the great relief movement. If the school children of Oregon averaged only a dime apiece they would swell the Red Cross fund by a mag ni ficont suin of over $3,000. If they averaged but a nickel apiece, the grand total would be between $1,500 and $2,000. How important the pennies arid nickels and dimes may be in the alleviation of suffering and misery among the wounded on the battlefields of Europe, where the Ameri can soldiers will soon be doing their bit to help win the Support The Government! At this critical period in our history our manufacturers are offering their mills, and our young men are offering their services to the United States Government. Do your bit by subscribing to the Liberty Loan. This bank can furnish Bonds in denominations of $50, $100, $500 or $1000. You can pay for bonds in installments. Come In and Talk It Over V'l'" '! , La Grande National Bank war, is shown by some figures prepared by the Red Cross. , For example: ""'. , ' , ." ' j One c.ent. will buy iodine to disinfect a wound; ,.' , , . J One cent will buy enough gauze for one dressing; A nickel will buy a bandage; Eight cents will pay foi' a temporary splint; ' ' A dime will provide chloroform for an operation. Twenty-five cents expended as above may save a limb or a life of a wounded soldier. Every man, woman and child in the state can do some thing in this gigantic Red Cross Campaign. There will be many of those who are not circumstanced so as to be among the heavy givers, but there never was a movement in the history of philanthropy which offered such abund ant opportunity for the high and low, rich and poor to join hands in the common cause as is presented by the American Red Cross. The humble penny, the modest nickel and the bright little dime, each can and does do a definite practical thing toward the work .that is before us to do. The child's mite and the rich man's millions will I each be received with equal welcome and each will serve flic same degree of ei riciencv m the lied Cross work. O "Do a good deed on Fathers' Day" is the slogan of fered this year by the founder of the movement, Mrs. John Bruce Dock! of Spokane, Washington. The woman who seven years ago attracted nation-wide attention by suggesting the annual observance of a day set apart iii memory of our fathers, now urges the doing of one kindly act on June 17 this year in special com memoration of Fathers' Day. In this connection Mrs. Dodd suggested that each person choose for himself the nature of the kindly deed, bearing in mind the thought that the deed be something which would meet with a father's hearty approval. The third Sunday in June was selected as Fathers' Day. when the movement began in 1910. In Spokane red roses are worn on that occasion if the father be living white roses if he is dead. Special sermons are delivered in the churches, ministers taking as a favorite subject the ex ample of the father in the'parable of the Prodigal Son. "This year, with our country plunged into the horrors of war, it seems most appropriate that we should bear in mind the great deeds of our fathers in former crises of the nation and do some kindly act to signalize this remem brance," says Mrs. Dodd in her appeal for a continuance of the anniversary celebration. "If in doubt as to just what act would best typify your reverence for your father, T suggest that the Red Cross work, so broad in its scope, would meet the hearty approval of any father." U HELP THE RED CROSS "Buy a Liberty Bond and give it to the Red Cross." H. L. Corbett," chairman of the Oregon Red Cross com mittee, thus advises those who have been hesitating wheth er to help the Liberty Bond or Red Cross $100,000,000 emergency war service fund. "A Liberty Bond is just as good as money to the Red! Cross campaign," continued Mr. Corbett. "This is one instance where one sum will help to its full value two vit any, important national needs. ; .. .( ' - m-'. .. -.! .vcr a "Buy your Liberty Bond how and have it ready foi Red Cross week, June 18-25." . The great importance of the Red Cross campaign to national welfare is stressed in a letter written personally by President Wilson to Lyman L. Pierce, western manager of the Red Cross campaign. "You and the western members of the finance commit tee of the Red Cross War Council, Messrs. Miller, Corbett,. Crocker and Phipps, are about to undertake a great public service. The enterprise which you will present to the leaders of the business and professional life in the west 3s at this time one of the most important contributions to the country's welfare which any patriotic citizen can make. "Will you not convey to the patriotic citizens of the west my very earnest hope that they will deny you no ser vice which they an render?"
