The annual Red Cross Round Up starts at the Hill Ranch next Monday! Last year's round up was a whoppin' big success. The ranch hands rounded up the dogies faster than a pony can flick a fly from his flank. After just two days on the range thqre was hardly a maverick left for the pretty little gal rustlers to gun-totti- n' corral. We hope that this year's round up will be as big. The American National Red Cross is a big outfit with a big job to do.

Of course, the Red Cross does a heap of other good things for all of us ranch folks besides helping those of us who get dry gulched. If each good deed done by the Red Cross was a grain of desert sand, it would take a good sized chuck wagon and a twenty-mul- e team to haul them all away.
