Times, Libby, Mont. 1 It is said that efforts arc be ing made in St. Johns to dis credit the noble work of the Red Cross workers, on the part of one or two individuals. It is said by these evil disposed persons that some of the con tributions are not being used for the purpose in which they aro intended. Any person hear ing such rumors should en deavor to llnd out the origina tor and report the cases at the Rod Cross headquarters. As a matter of fact the strictest ac count is kept of all contribu tions made for Hcd Cross pur poses, the government being very particular in keeping lab of these contributions. It is to be deplored that any one should be so malicious uh to spread re ports that would tend to dis credit or dishearten Red Cross workers. It is certain that if the government apprehended anyone grafting or diverting thttiiu contributions from the Mource in which they are in tundud would be dealt with without mercy, as should he the case.
