ON THE RED CROSS
i Editor News: Fot more than
two weeks there baa boon in tho
hands of J. M. Chase, an appli
cation blank to bo signed by the
citrons of Eaglo Vnlloy for the
purpose of obtaining a Charter to
form a local chapter of the Ued
Cross.
That this application is not be
ing signed as rapidly as it should
be must bo due to the fact thut
it is not generally known to be
here.
Now, tint our country is at
war, our Nation need us all
evor. man, woman and child of
us--and tho people of this vallov
should be quick to respond.
Alone, wo couUl do little, but
united with the thousands of
other small chapters forming the
National Hed Cross, untold bene
fit may be dorived.
Many of us would like to go to
the scenes of conllict to act
nurses or ronder whatever assist

organizations and do our "little
best."
My understanding is, thatasid
from assisting "our boys" at th
front, sickness, poverty and suf
fenng at homo are .also reljevet
by the Red Cross.
Looking at it from a purely self
jsh standpoint, a local Chapter
would form an association where
men and women might meet so
cially and benefit each other by
fn exchange of ideas if nothing
else.
In this solemn hour when on
country's fortunes are at stake
when all that she has stood for
and stands for, is jeopardized b

I am anxious to have the petition
filled as qdickly as possible, that
we may get to work.
Yours truly,

A TIME FOR BLINDNESS.
Tharo Is sometimes ri greator
charity in seeming not to seo
our neighbor's trouble than In
trying to relieve It. "Let mo
alonel" is the prayer of many a
torturod heart when tho curious,
the officious and the tactless
force the door of its place of
desolation, albeit they bring'
wlno and oil.
