With the inception of the Third
Red CroM Roll Call. Sunday, Novem-
ber 1. the opening day waa observed
aa “Rad Croae Sunday" in thousands
of cburchas throughout Missouri. Kan-
sas, Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma,
and a vast force of men and woman
workers began the task of garnering
Red Croee memberships tot tbs coming
year.
Clergyman, in pulpits of all deaoml-
uations, referred to the humanitarian
attributes of the Red Cross in sermons
prepared especially tor the occasion
and Red Cross tributes. In some In-
stances, augmented the usual mornlrt
and evening devotional services.
Preliminary reports reaching cam-
paign managers la each state indicate
an Increasing volume of interest In the
drive that augurs well for Its'success-
ful conclusion. The quota for the
Southwestern Division Is set at 2,000,-
000 members, while the nation-wide
campaign has for its objective the
attainment of 20,000,000 members
Officials in charge of the drive expect
the Southwestern Division to exceed
its quits by 500,000, and state quotas
have been assigned on this basis. The
quotas follow: Missouri, 700,000;
Kansas, 400,000; Texas, 800,000; Ar-
kansas, 200.000; Oklahoma, 400,000.
The opening of the drive found the
Red Cross organization, which slowly
has been mobilizing for months, ready
for the job in hand. In manner that
recalls vividly the war-time enthusiasm
of a year ago uniformed women work-
ers magically have appeared In each
city, town and county, to solicit mem-
b< -ships. A house-to-house canvass
is now being carried on.
Women Workers Re-eniiating.
Croups of women whose services
were rendered so generously during
the war have re-enlisted. Canteen
workers, nurses and nurses' aids,
motor transport corps workers, ffurgi
cal dressing workers, knitters and
gament workers, all are* asked to
extend their efforts again to the ut-
most to help establish the Rer Cross
firmly upon a peace basis.
Thousands of clubs and fraternal
organizations will observe a “Red
Cross” day during Roll Call week by
special lunchr" ", di ners and meet-
ings, at whlcj speakers will tell the
story of the Red Cross and its future.
In many cases motion pictures illus-
trative of its work will be shown.
Former Fighters Help.
Returned soldiers, sailors and ma-
rines have enlisted in large numbers
to assist in the campaign, grateful for
work. This permission applies to all
provided for them by the Red Cross.
As members of the American Le-
gion add as individuals, thousands
of returned “Yanks” and “gobs” will
become volunteer canvassers for Red
Cross memberships during Roll Call,
up to its close, on Armistice Day,
November 11. In some places veterans
of the world war are directing the
campaign. All such workers will be
in uniform. .
Permission has been granted to all
present and ormer lied Cross work-
ers to wear their regulation Red Cross
uniforms while engaged in campaign
work. This permission applies to all
nurses, foreign service workers, field
service directors, cat.teen, motor
corps and chapter workers.
One of the most remarkable mobili-
zations of speaking talent that has
ever volunteered for an effort of this
kind will go Into action for the dura-
tion of the drive. Former American
ambassadors, high Army officers,
Cabinet officials, a flying squadron of
Red Cross overseas nurses and other
workers. State Governors, members of
Congress, clergymen, editors, business
men, returned fighters and e?ei. labor-
ers, will speak In behalf of the Red
Cross during Roll Call week.
Qeneral Pershing to 8peak
Foremost among those who huve
volunteered is General Pershing. Oth-
ers are Former Ambassador to Ger-
many, James W. Gerard, and former
Ambassador to Turkey, Abram I. El
kus. Attorney General A. Mitchell
Palmer has consented to give what-
ever spare moments he has to mak-
ing Red Cross appeals, and other
members of the Cabinet are being call-
ed upon.
Women of national prominence are
out on speaking tours for the Roll
Call, notably Miss Mabel T. Board-
man, of the Central Committee of the
American Red Cross, Mrs. Larz An-
derson, of Boston, and Dr. Esther
C. Lovojoy, of Portland, Oregon.
Red Cross nurses, many of them
decorated for bravery overseas, are
speaking in * the interests of the
peace time health program of the Red
Cross.
An aged negro wfcman of Mesquite,
Whose son, an Americai soldier, was
killed in France, sent $5 to ihe Dal-
las Salvation Army. The money waa
mailed In a letter from J. C. Rugel,
chairman of the Salvation Army cam-
paign in Mesquite.
After her son had been killed and
while the mother was waiting for the
Governemnt to provide her with In-
surance, the negro woman borrowed
(10 from Mr. Rugel for her living ex-
penses. Thursday, having received
her first Insurance payment, she
gave a (5 bill to Mr. Rugel as a
part payment of the loan. He de-
clined to accept It and told her
to forget about the loan, hut she
Insisted that she wanted to pay her
Just debts. *
Then they decided to give the (5
bill to the Salvation Army..
"You gib It td ’em. and I'll put an-
other one wld it,” the said. "Them
people done my boy right when he
waa flghtln’. Ebery time he write ha

To Our Friends
‘In thejiour of distress and
sorrow you have been with us;

you, would not express what is
in our hearts. We only pray
that our lives lived among you
may be ones of service for you,
and that through all the years
vou live you may have blessings
rich and rare for all the gladness
you gave us.

Turkeys Stolen
R. N. Brown, a former Deport
citizen, who resides two miles
south of Bogata, had thirty tur-
keys stolen from coops at his
home Tuesday. The family was
in town at the time, and upon
tlieii return all the birds were
gone. He had cooped them up
to put on the market for Thanks-
giving, and they ware worth
about $100.
Later — Since the above was
put in type the turkeys have re
turned home*"and it is thought
the thief got "cold feet.”
