YOUR DOLLAR AND MY BOY
I want to thank you, friend.
You must know, the heartfelt grati-
tude of a father with an only boy.
He went with the troops and I was
proud.
But I've had many a heartache
since.'
They say hell pull through now all
right because they found him just in
time.
Did your dollar bring my hoy back
from No Man's Land ?
Did your dollar take the stretcher
so close to the thick of the firing?
Did your dollar bring him the water
he "pleaded for in his delirium ? '
Did your' dollar bring him back to
the base hospital where they gave
him almost a mother's care ?
" I want to thank you ' if : it did for
your dollar has- given me hick my boy
it has brought him' back to me out
of No Mall's Land, where many sons
are going where' many will remain.
Can' I say this to you my friend?
Surely, I can if you are a member
of the Red Cross Day. No field ser
vice is required. Count- this the
chance to do your bit for this coun
try must have two million members of
the Red Cross $100,000,000 i sub
scriptions. President Wilson, himself,
is president of the Red Cross and asks
that one million men ' enroll their
names as subscribers to the Red Grass
at $1, $2 $5, $10, $100, $1,000
$10,000, or $100,000.
He does not ask that you do any
thing else but pay your subscriptions
and then if you wish to secure 10, 25
or 100 new subscribers, do so if you
can. No further service in the field or
elsewhere will be required. '
In this hour of the nation's and all
the world's need, every American who
loves his country and his fellow men
asks: "What can I do? Where can I
help?"
For stalwart youth the path r of
duty is plain. Our country and hum
anity need men-to fight and die for
them. Yet of our 100,000,000 only a
small fraction now and hut a tithe at
most, or worst, can thus serve. For
. all :: who cannot enlist to seek "the
great prize of death in battle" or who
are not needed in those ranks, as yet,
there is another enlistment. It is un
der the banner of the Red Cross.
Enlisting there alL old or young, man
or woman or tender child, can proudly
say: 1 '
"I am serving humanity and my
country."
"I am deserving well of the Repub
lic." "Fight or give" is our battle cry!
This is Red Cross week and we ask
that you do this by becoming a sup
porter of the Red Cross. - Send , your
cash or your check today $5, $10,
$100, $1,000, $10,000 or $100,000 give
to your very utmost. ,
SHOULD MEET FREQUENTLY
There should be a 1 farmers' im
provement club in each neighborhood
a club that is broad in its scope
and purpose. This club should hold
regular meetings, with music and rec
itations by the young folks," and there
-should be talks by farmers on live
topics and papers and ' general dis
cussions and debates on farm ques
tions. And it might be-well to 'in
clude an old time spelling match
now and then and' to play some of
the' old time games folks used ' to
play. And, the "men who run the
stores should have an improvement
club in town. They should 'meet' to
gether to discuss" business questions,
that we may have better 'merchants
and better clerks, that useless ' waste
may be eliminated, that we may have
better stores and hetter prices, and
better service to the buyer. ' And the
farmer in working out the problems
of the farm, should have the co-operation,
the sympathy and the friend
ship of the merchant; and the mer
chant, in working out the problems of
the store, should have the co-operation,
the sympathy and the friend
ship of the farmer. And then, back
of the farmers improvement club,
and back of the merchants, improve
ment club, there should be a general
community club, composed of all the
business men of the-locality,- both
town and country." And this commun
ity club " shocid meet ' frequently for
the consideration of community ques
tions. It should give community enter
tainments in the winter should sup
port a community chorus should see
that the " town band is given 'proper
encouragement, and should ' get . be
hind every - good movement - that
might add to the social life of the
people; In the summer there should
be community picnics and , base ball
games' and . fairs and frolics and fun
for., everybody. Community - better
ment does not mean just keeping the
money - at " home it means - making
country life so pleasant that all the
young- folks will want to stay at
home. - - - '

Wa-Keeney People Give Credit Where

.People of , Wa-Keeney who suffer
with weak kidneys and bad backs
want a kidney remedy that can be de

Keeney people.' Here is a case:
H. E.- Tripp, of Wa-Keeney, says:
"My back often felt as it would break
in two and the pain nearly, drive me
wild. 'Gravel has also caused great
annoyance. Whenever I have these
attacks, I use Doan's Kidney Pills and
they are the only medicine that does
me any good. I advise all sufferers
from kidney trouble' to give Doan's

"Don't Advertise and Go Broke"
Startling figures relating to fail
ures in business and non-advertisers
were given to the Cincinati Ad Club
last week by Jesse M.' Josephs, of the
Josephs Advertising Agency. In his
address -on "What Should a Store
Spend for Advertising?" Mr. Josephs
said among other things: "Figures I
obtained from a financial agency
shows that out of all the failures in
a large American city during the year,
86 per cent of the firms had hot spent
a dollar on advertising," 14 per cent
of the firms spent about $50.00 a year
apiece; not one had really advertised.
Judicious advertising is founded ' on
facts, figures and research." I want
to warn you not to stand 'still in advertising.-
If you dont advance every
year your business is slated 'for the
grave." " . ,
