ENLIST FOR THE WAR
Not everybody can go to the
front in France to fight for his
country. Everybody unable to
serve in the army, however, can
enlist in the Red Cross. There
is important war work for all
the men and women of America,
and for youth under or over
military age, right at home. No
age limit bars enlistment in the
Red Cross. It is the great or
ganized force through which
every one not on the firing line
may play his part in the war for
Liberty.
The chance to become a re
cruit in the greatest army ever
mobilized to relieve human suf
fering, as well as to lighten the
burdens
and
enhance the
strength of the fighting men, is
presented to all by the Red Cross
Christmas membership campaign
In the week before Christmas it
is planned to add 10,000,000
names to the Red Croas rolls,
and already fifty thousand re
cruiting booths have been opened
throughout the United States to
receive enlistments. It is plan
ned to make membership in the
Red Cross almost as universal as
citizenship. To that end it is
proposed that the way shall be
made so open that no one can re
main an outsider through lack of
proper invitation.
Here is an opportunity to show
the 1917 Christmas spirit, as well
as to get into the war work that
summons all patriotic Americans.
President Wilson, in an appro
priate prase, has proclaimed that
"Red Cross membership is the
Christmas spirit of action,” Let
the men and women of Ameriea
make that sentiment ring like a
cathedral chime throughout the
land on Christmas morn.

probably more characters are weak

gendered by such a process than by the
vanity which follows the silly brag

to help a child toward perfection as is
its parent, yet it surely leads to an
avoidance of the moments alone to

Don’t correct the child before others.
Never mind if a well meaning relative
does say: "My dear, I am surprised
that you do not show more force of
character. Your children are suffering
from a lack of discipline.” Pass the
matter over until you and the small
offender can have it out alone. If the
circumstances are such that it cannot
be passed over take him out of the

The greatest thrift movement in the
history of this country now appears to
be making considerable headway. The
American Savings Bank association is
giving much time and energy to this
thrift campaign and offering especial
encouragement to the new depositor of

Women, children and
young wage earners are being particu
larly sought as depositors by banka all
over the country. Parents are urged
to start small bank accounts for their
children, to teach them thrift, since
the habit of saving does more than
build up a bank account; it builds char
