TMA8 ROLL CALL?
Washington county
made a fairly generoua re-
sponse to the call for Christmas
membership in the Red Cross
and more than 8,000 citizens
have paid their dollars for 1910
this is far from universal mem-
bership, when we consider that
the population of the county is
28,000. All who are not wear-
ing 1919 buttons are urged to
attend to this impoi-tant duty
immediately, and help old Wa.sh
ington county win the hag of
fered by the state division to
the county in our class that re-
ports the greatest percentage of
its population enlisted in the
Rod Cross.
This county has responded
splendidly to all the heavy de*
mands made by the war, and has
gone triumphantly "over the
top" in every patriotic cam-
paign. Shall we fail now?
Shall we disregard the last call
that wo may ever hear from the
Red Cross? Surely not.
We can and should make it
universal membership. Without
question there arc thousands of
persons in Washington who are
financially unable to contribute
the single dollar needed for Red
Cross membership, but it is also
undoubtedly equally true that
I'mmi arids of others are amply
able to pay many dollars "with-
out making any sacrifice what-
ever, and to these the committee
looks for the money that will
make the county 100 per cent.
h "u could make no better
Christmas jrjft t., your p0„r and
needy neighbor than to present
him with a Red ('ros« member-
ship.
Only two more days of the
campaign remain, and we have
much to do,in tho#e two days,
Shall the appeal from division
headquarters, and from our lo-
cal chairman, who have worked
untiringly in this drive, go un-
heeded ''
Stop wearing your old 1918
button. It Is out; of date and
"Hess you own the 1919 emblem
you have no right to wear any
Red Cross button at all, (Jet
your 1919 button right now
and wear It.
We all know that the cessa-
tion of hostilities has not les-
sened the needs of the Red
( rtm, and unless we answer
this appeal, we have failed to
meet our obligations to our suf-
fering allies and our boys over
there.
Make yourself a Christmas
present of a 1919 button right
now,
van-
civilization,
this struggle, lose it
after all? Will humanity,
through greed and self-seeking,
forfeit the freedom It has fought
for, and return into its' old
bondage to selfishness and cyni-
cism and international distrust?
If it does, then generation to
come will pay for its folly. i
But whether we fall back for j"a Athenn;
another aeon into the shadows ''HH"
and forego the prize of all our
suffering, or by the clear light
of this revelation go forward to
a yet greater redemption, for
one moment at least., in the
weary centuries of error, we
have caught the gleam of fair
white city,
For that vision and its prom-
ise, brief though it be, it is
worth while to have lived, and
if so be, to die. For we have at
ast looked into the world's
ared heart, and know its se
cret- a greet heart but a way
ward one, a spendthrift of
strength, prodigal of suffering,
but hitherto a miser of its love.
And once more it stands at
the parting of* the long, long
way,—Red Corxn Magazine,

Texas girls with sweethearts
n the A. E. F. may derive some
comfort from the statement of
Beaumont soldier just home
rorn France. Without real
oubt of their lovers' loyalty,
i he average girl probably has
found it difficult to wonder just
what would happen did her
sweetheart find a French girl
more to his liking, with propin-
liiity to add to her charms over
the girl in far-off America. To
remove ibis lingering doubt, if
t existed, we are glad to note
the Beaumont boy's statement
hat there are very few Amori-
'ans marrying French girls,
even it he did givy as a reason
Um fact that niK'h murritigttK aru
most difficult because of red tape
required by French laws. A
Yank must send back for a birth
certificate and a health certifi-
cate, and "by the time the docu-
ments arrived he prolxably
would be up at front or billeted
a long way from his love vows
and (horrible dictu) talking to
another girl." Denton Record

Don't wear the old Red Cross
button, please. By not wearing!
my at all folks may be charita-l
bio enough to think you would
join if you had a dollar, but any-
>ody can spot the old button and
if you wear it they vill think
you are deliberately cheating.

THE BELLS OF CHRISTMAS,
1 he bells ol Christmas what
new message do they bring to
US? Will they at last "Ring out
the false, ring in the true" Gl-
are (hey as before merely the
noisy heralds of trade, the voic-
e.s of illusion? The world that
amid its travail hears them,
chiming above the din of strife,
holds in its own heart, and hands
tho answer.
Mankind stands nearer today
to the achievement of its own
salvation than it has ever stood
aince Time began. Hy its own
efforts and self-sacrifice it has
come to the very tnreshhold of
the Kingdom toward which it
has always been faring.
In this incredible hour the
lines of color, the hatred of race,
the barriers of creed and dogma
art> dim; the day of Babe! re-
cedes. Men are moving with a
common purpose^~to win for ev-
ery people, whether great or
small, its just heritage of "life,
liberty, and the pursuit of hap-
piness". These years 0f con.
flict have told us what it was
hard to believe, that at heart hu-
manity is nobte. It is only now
that it has found itself.
The final issue of this great
struggle rests with us, with ev-
ery man and every woman ev-
The end is visible,
battlements of
hajre been
to their fall. And
To the tightwad: A dollar
invested in a Rod Cross mem-
bership is not necessarily fatal.
Take an anesthetic and the op-
eration may Ih> entirely pain-
less. (iwrni M. Bailey in the
fiotiHton lout.
Another reason why a man is
different about the Red Cross
membership is, he doesn't car.
a cent if a soldier sutlers with-
out attention or a French baby
starves to death,—Gtwffc M
Hailey in Houston Post.

Marksville, U.-Mr». Alice Johmon,
of lhl» place, writes: "For one year 1
differed with an iwful misery in my back
and aide*. My left aide was hurting me
all fhe time, Hie misery wae lomethini
awful
1 could not do anything, not even sleep
it night. It kept me awake most of the i
night... I took different medicines, but;
nothing did me any good or relieved me
until 1 took Cardui...
I waa not able to do any of my work
tor one year asd I got worse all the time,
waa confined to my bed off and on. I got
to bad with my back that when I stooped
down I was not able to straighten up
igaln ... I decided 1 woilld try Cardui
that Age's ... By time 1 had taken the entire bottle
j / was feeling pretty good and could
itraighten up and my pains were nearly
ill gone.
1 shall always praise Cardui. 1 con-
tinued taking it until 1 was strong and
well." If you suffer from pains due to
'emale complaints, Cardui may be just
what you need. Thousands of women
who once suffered in this wiy now praise
Cardui for their present good health.
