What better chance have YOU to obey
the words of the Golden Rule than to
GIVE GENEROUSLY TO
THE RED CROSS?
If YOU were on the battle front—
wounded, burning with thirst, crying aloud
in pain; or if YOU were a refugee in the
war zone—weak, hungry, with clothes in
rags and no roof above you head — would'nt
you want the healing, comforting hand of
THE RED CROSS
to come to your aid? Wouldn't you?
Think it over—and give now—and gen-
erously. Sacrifice a little—so that you may
help do unto others as you would have
others do unto you!

Roy A. Miller Sues
For $40,000 Damages
The suit of Roy A. Miller of
Lawson, against the Northern
Texas Traction Co., went to trial
in Dallas Tuesday.
Mr. Miller, who is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Wes Miller of Law-
son, was run over by an Inter-
urbay car at the station in Dallas
last year, losing a leg and being
otherwise injured.
He is suing for $40,000 dam-
ages.
The business men of Mesquite
are donating their advertising
space in the Mesquiter this week
to the Red Cross. Every one
of these ads carries a message
to humanity—a message to you.
Road them—every one of them.
In order to give publicity to
the Red Cross drive, which be-
gins Friday, May 17. this week's
Mesquiter is printed nearly a
day ahead of time.
As a part of the Red Cross
program for Saturday afternorn,
three airplanes from Camp Dick
are to be here and give exhibi-
tion flights and landings, so that
the people can get close up view
of the machines, also the Camp
Dick band. Fifty cadets from
Camp Dick are likewise to be
here and they will give an ex-
hibition dpill on the public
square, and the band will give a
concert.
Hon. Cullen F. Thomas, one of
the most gifted and eloquent
speakers in Texas is to deliver
an address. The committee in
Dallas wanted to send us some
other speaker, but the local com-
mittee insisted on Mr. Thomas,
because it is always a treat to
hear a man of his ability.
These features are in addition
to the parade and auction sale,
mention of of which is made
elsewhere.
Hester's Show Warne
Not To Come Here
Hester's show, billed to be
here hext Monday, has been
warned by Mayor Lawrence and
Health officer Hudgins not to
come to Mesquite, for the reason
it is said that smallpox has ap
peared at other places following
performances given by them,
and it is believed that this dis
ease is prevalent among the peo-
ple connected with this aggrega-
tion of entertainers.
Rev. J. T. Luper Has

mediately after the tirst Sunday

No steps have been taken as

Till Your Heart Says Slop!
Of course you are going to GIVE. There isn't a
really true American who can refuse the Red CroBS
appel for funds. BUT HOW MUCH IS THAT GIFT
GOING TO BE?
Are you going to consult your pocketbook or bank
book as to the amount? Or will your HEART tell you
how much?
If you pocketbook says "Five Dollars", isn't there a
still small voice ways down deep in your heart that
says '"TWENTY"? And won't you feel better—really
happier—more like the fine upstanding citizen you try
to be—if you heed your heart rather than your pocket-
book?
Isn't that God given, heart-full feeling that comes
from a good deed generously done—from a little real
sacrifice—worth more to you than anything the few
paltry dollars can buy?
Be honest with yourself? You know it is!

SO GIVE—FROM YOUR HEART
the still small voice tells you to stop!

Thousands of Sfricken Men and Women
Thousands of Helpless Children
Are Now Depending on
THE RED CROSS
American generosity has made the work of relief
possible. American generosity has got to finish what it
has begun. This help cannot now be withdrawn. We
must insure the Red Cross for another year. If every
American gives $1, the work will go on Many American
cannot give $1. Perhaps YOU can give $2, or $5 or $100-
If you can, you should. No more crying need for Chris-
tian charity has every existed.
Do Your Share and The Red Cross
Workers Will Do More Than Theirs.

Dear Mama:
Will write you a few lines this
eve, as I am chasing around
town. "You can't guess who I
have been-with this eve. It sure
did surprise me to meet him. It
was Bro. HutTstutler, the
Methodist preacher, who used
to preach at Mesquite. He is
Chaplin in 343rd P. A., but I
have to salute him, He holds
services at the Y. W. C. A. to
night. I think I will go and
hear him preach. I guess we
will take him to France with us.
How are you all these hot
days? I am all right but am
working pretty hard. I am go-
ing to try to get a pass to come
home, if I can.
Will close, with love to you.
Your son,

I will be an old man the 10th of

like I could whip a whole regi
ment of Germans.

The Red Cross
of Mercy
OR THE RED FLAG OF SHAME?
ALERICANS MUST CHOOSE
The work of the Red Cross is a work of devo-
tion and inspiration. Wherever the Red Cross
goes soldiers are infused with a new determina-
tion that Liberty must live. The Red Cross is a
beacon light of human Liberty and peace.
It is the duty of every man, woman and child to
work for and contribute to this great cause.
