zone. W ill you do your part? A r e you ready to take up your share o f responsibility?
D ecide n ow w hat your subscription w ill b e— make it large enough to represent a real

Tw o Campaigns in One
In order to conserve time and effort, the Cottage Grove Red Cross Branch
“ d riv e " for war funds, for the fiscal year 1918 1919, has been combined
with the national ‘ ‘ drive’ May 20 to 27.
A local " d r iv e " is necessary at
this time as the Branch and its auxiliaries are out of funds and the work
must not stop.
Subscriptions to the local fund may be paid in full with
subscription; or part cash and balance in twelve equal monthly payments
beginning June 1; or all of subscription may be paid in twelve equal monthly
payments beginning June 1, 1918.
IM P O R T A N T —The National Red Cross must lw supported first
Alter
you have made your subscription to the National Red Cross war fund, then
make your subscription to the local Red Cross Branch fund, to be paid within
a year.
CONTINUOUS RAISING OF FUNDS PLAN N E D TO BE E LIM IN
ATE D —It is hoped that sufficient funds for the Cottage Grove Branch and
auxiliaries will be raised during the present " d r iv e " in order that further
local Branch Red Cross "d r iv e s " for funds during the coming fiscul year,
June 1918 to June 1919, may not be necessary.
