During all of next week and up until Christmas Eve, a concentrated (IToit will be made to enroll as large 1 a number as possible in this great nation-wide organization, honored in having as its national president the Nation's head, President Woodrow Wilson. Membership in the Red Cross imposes im-poses no obligations upon anyone, except ex-cept the payment of the $1.00 mem-1 mem-1 bership fee. Additional work will doubtless be undertaken later on, when the locnl chapter is properly organized, but this work is purely voluntary. It is expected of Cedar City, where all war funds have been so liberally supported, that at least 700 memberships member-ships will be obtained. The money you gave to the Soldiers' Welfare Fund is helping to make a clean environment for the boys in training and at the front. The Red Cross, supported by your membership, will follow the boys where the shells arc bursting, will nurse them when they are sick and wounded, will follow fol-low them into prison camps and will comfort them when they are dying.
