RED CROSS BALL AT ILKS TEM
PLE PROVES FITTING CLIMAX
FOR THE SUCCESSFUL DRIVE
FOR FUNDS DURING PAST WEEK
It was truly a numerous tad a cos
mopolitan crowd In attendance at the
Rod Cross ball last evening. The num
bers In attendance and the test with
which everyone entered Into the spirit
of the affair was certainly Indicative of
the unity of purpose actuating this
community In the Red Cross drive.
The music waa excellent, and a feature
of the evening not only to those trip
ping the light fantastic, but to thoae,
voluntarily, on the aide lines.
Altogether It waa an enjoyable culmi
nation of one of the moat successful
Red Cross drives In the atate, and as
ususl Its successful Issue, In a very
large measure, Is directly attributable
to the Indefatigable efforts of the
ladles.
Different parts of the county were
veil represented In the assemblage.
I
F0R
Have ou ever stopped to think that
these boys who are offering their Uvea
to our country are going In your atead
Just as truly aa tho you had geen or-
dered to go and one or them stepped
out to take your place and let you stay
at homer For tbla la your Rgnt just as
much as theirs' and only the accident
of age, perhaps, has relieved you from
the service they are assuming. Maybe
you are still tbla side of 41. If yon are,
and have no pbyalcal disability, then
ou are right now under aa much obli
gation to offer yourself aa any of these
others are. The army will accept vol
unteers between the agea of SI aid 41
just aa freely as It la accepting boys
from II to II. What right have you
to hold back and let some other fellow
do your fighting for youT What reason
can you offer that would not oe just as
good a reason for the otaer rouow w
give? But whatever your reasoa may
be, you can at least honor the boy who
Is going la your atead by observing
this Memorial Day In the spirit asked
for by our president, and a splendid
start for the day would be to go down
to the morning train aadaee these lads
off show them you appreciate what
they are doing for you.

JBLIC THAT
MISTAKES WERE UNAVOIDABLE,
AND WILL BE CORRECTED
To the Public of Klamath Ceunty:
Many complalata have been received
at these headquartara alaca the publi
cation of the Yellow List which have
not bad our attention,, on account of
being absent. It waa to be expected
that some mistakes would occur. In
a work of this magnitude and with the
number of cards and number of work
ers, it Is surprising that there have
been so few. Our oftsce force spent
almost the entire time since the close
ot tbo campaign on May 4th. checking
and rc-checklng thla Ust, and we have
endeavored to correct every error call
ed to our attention, and will continue
to correct errors aa they are called to
our notice, and give aa fall publicity to
the correction as haa been given to the
publication of the .list In some In
stances report cards have not reached
headquarters from the precincts, in
others we have discovered duplicate
cards In the fllea. We have aaked each
precinct captain to check carefully the
Hat In his precinct, and promptly re
port all errors, and we will be glad to
have others call our attention to the
matter when they discover an error,
The cards will be in our possession
for some time before being turned over
to the government, and we desire to
correct all mistakes and apologise for
making them, as we have never claim
ed to be Infallible, but have done the
best we could under all the circum
stances. Blncerely,
CHARLES J. FERGUSON.
