. TBS. ' I Report of the Condition of the Mr. Willis narber came over from ? (allow last Monday and has been. & ' r "A great net of thirty drawn through am ocean of unspeakable pain". How Was the Last War Fund Spent? I IT is a fair question and it is fairly answered in the detailed and itemized reports that have been pub lished in the newspapers of every town and eity of the land. You never saw it? Then ask at the nearest Fled ; Cross Chapter, or write, for the Red Cross wants you I to know where your money went. ?f They say that Red Cross supplies have a way of coming through on time. Italy surely has found us not wanting in prompt ness when her great trial came. And Roumania they said no allied nation could get through to help her dire need. But the Red Cross found a way. It's not always a cheap way "Needs must" j, costs money. But did you give that money to be f saved or to saw lives? Are you not willing to pay five dollars or fifty to bring something of comfort to a war racked, tortured mortal who but for you would surely die? And of one thing you may be sure. Not one penny of that Hundred Million has gone for anything but War Relief; In the Red Cross there is no high salaried bureau cracy; no extravagant administration expense. All of the higher officials and nine-tenths of the workers are unpaid volunteers. The cost of raising and collecting the last War Fund was about one-half of one per cent., more than covered by the banking interest on the money. K; I't Your Red Cross needs another hundred million to lighten just a little of the awful loatf of misery "over there. Your share is all that yqu can give and then a little more. Will you hold up your end? Contributed to the Red CroM by The First National Bank of Buras it I. J m The Times- Jierald I Has Tfc Uiimi CirUlt Of A ( Kkntay CowaJr- SATUSDAY. MA Y IS.

That's, how much it 1 urtj Might not be a bad idea to have a look at what that monej has been doing. That money went, dollar fofj dollar, where it did full day's work, wherever it was. Three cents of it may have had the honor of disii fecting with iodine the three torn wounds of an American! soldier on the French front Or it may have had the 1 noble responsibility of pinning a warm flannel belly-banc around six-year-old Antoine out back of Noyon. No use, we can't figure this Red Cross task in cents worth. There's the whole path of ruin from Belgium to Switzerland, just to visualize one thing at a time. If your Red Cross money went there it very likely provided pots and pans, food and clothes, beds and blankets, for the repatriated people. Three years ago these people were prosperous and contented self-respecting, steady, saving, hard-working. everyday, small-town citizens. Now they have the "earth under them and the sky! over them" not one thing else. u It's for you to say whether this1 great work of mercyl shall stop. The Red Cross is yours, just as our Army and Navy are yours; yours to support with the same fervor and loyalty that leads you to the bottom of your purse fof Liberty Bonds. It's for your voice to say whether your Red Cro5 T 11 U 1 . l i t snaii ictiiei now or sweep onwara, greater ana more neip ful than ever before. And it's your dollars that must answer. i CONTRIBUTED TO Tr E RED CROSS BY THE BURNS CASH STORE!
