NUMBER 31 H RED CROSS ACTIVITIES HERE AND ELSEWHERE The ladies of tlie Red Cross wish to return thanks to the Elks for the splendid donation in the form of receipts from the enter tainment and dance Monday evening. Mrs. Uohn, chairman of the Chapter, has appointed Mrs. Sam E. Van Vactor chairman of the committee in charge of the membership drive. Old linen and muslin are still in heavy demand. Don't forget the Bazaar tomor row. Saturday, nor the big count ry dance in the pavilion the same evening. An appeal comes from the Red Cross headquarters in Paris for pumps with which to get water from the wells in the devastated districts of France, as an aid in getting polluted wells cleansed and supplying safe drinking wa ter to the people who are begin ning to return to their homes. The need is said to be very urgent. The Red Cross has opened a children's hospital and dispen sary at Evian, France, where American doctors daily examine and treat an average of 250 chil dren. Many of these children are arriving from behind the German lines and are in a pitia ble condition. Contagious di seases are prevalent. During the 'first week 2,400 children were examined, 1,900 of whom were between the ages of 3 and 13 years. A drive is now under way for 15,000,000 Red Cross members by Christmas and it will win. Most of the effort will be for memberships at $1.00 a year or 2.00 which includes the Red Cross magazine. There are 5, 000,000 members at present and the drive contemplates that each present member shall secure two' new members besides re newing his own membership by paying another year's dues in advance. Life memberships have been advanced to $100. Thrift Stamps on Sale. Charlie Notson, the young son of Mayor Notson, was the first applicant at the postoffice Mon day to purchase the new "thrift stamps" which were placed on sale that morning and the young man invested 50 cents in the new government securities secur ing two stamps. Charlie's cap ital for this investment was sec cured through the sale of an old and decrepit gun which he pos essed but being to young to shoulder the firearm and go to France he decided to turn his armament into cash and get be hind his Uncle Samuel as a fin ancial backer of the war. The stamps are on sale at the postoffice and all investors who have accumulated 4 00 worth during the month of January can, by adding 12 cents secure a war stamp worth $5 00. The war stamps are redeemable in 5 years and furnish a good investment for small savings.
