The man behind the publicity be

most earnest and most capable of Un
cle Sam’s talented $l-a-year army.
When it became apparent that the
United States government had need
for men of affairs to direct the vari
ous activities of the Red Cross Mr.
LaBeaume volunteered his services.
George W. Simmons, manager of
the Southwestern division or the Red
Cross, complimented Mr. LaBeaume
highly upon the fact that, he was a po
tent factor in the tremendous success
of the membership campaign of tho
Southwestern division. Mr. LaBeaume
says:
“The remarkable results achieved
in the Southwestern division during
the, Christmas membership campaign
are due in no small measure to the
loyal support of the press. Newspa
per proprietors and editors through
out the division have given generous
ly of their space. The results show
that chapter publicity directors have
been on the jump and have kept Red*
Cross enthusiasm at fever heat. Every
man, woman and child who took part
in this campaign nr*st feel a glow of
satisfaction and pride in the con
sciousness of work well done. It Is
the continuation of this spirit which
will bring victory to the cause for
which we are fighting. Even though
the campaign is technically over, we
urge you to keep up the good work.”
POWER OF THE PRESS.
The power of the press largely was
responsible lor the splendid showing
made by the Southwestern division of
the Rad One in the big Christmas
mrmbenUy campaign. The South
west was given the task of getting
1,112,000 new members. Al * result
of the splendid publicity campaign di
rected by Louis LaBeaume of flC
Louis and the businesslike organisa
tion effected by John L. Johnston and
George W. Simmons, chairman of the
campaign and Southwestern manager
of the Red Cross, respectively, this
district got nearly three times its
quota of members, leading all the oth
er 12 divisions of the Red Cross in the
United States.
Mr. BaBeaume very properly gives
proper credit to this newspaper and
other newspapers of the Southwest for
the1’ splendid results obtained in the
campaign.
In these times, when self-abnega
tion is absolutely necessary In every
walk of life, it is a pleasure to record
that the newspapers of the Southwest
are doing their share to help win the
war. In the campaign just closed the
newspapers contributed their valuable
apace to the cause, while Mr. Sim
mons, Mr. Johnston and Mr. La
Beaume contributed their services
and their time.

| There was an old fellow named Gamp
Who purchased a War Saving Stamp;
Said he with a grin:
“This will help us to win
And put Kaiser Bill on the tramp.”
DO IT NOW.
A hospital ship with 500 sick and
wounded torpedoed and sunk without
warning by a U-boat on Jan. 4. Buy
War Savings Stamps and stamp out
that kind of stuff.

There was an old fellow name Stift,
Who purchased a stamp they call

Said he: “It will count
In the total amount;
So I’ll give Uncle Sammy a lift.”
WHAT THE
CROSS
IS DOING
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO
JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP.
Junior Membership has developed in response to an earnest
desire of pupils in many states to render patriotic service in this
time of need. It was natural that the school children should wish
to become a part of the great Red Cross movement for war relief.
Planned and administered by educators, Junior Membership can
not fail to be of value in vitalizing the work of the schools, while
their total product will be of great service to the Red Cross.
The following important facts should
be generally known:
1. That the organization was formed in
response to a demand from schools.
2. That leading educators all over the
country are advisers to the organization
and its activities.
2. That President V/llson has Issued a
call to all school children and teachers to
join in this patriotic work.
4. That junior membership is open to
all boys and girls of school age attending
public, private or parochial schools, or
attending other organized educational
centers, but only to such student bodies
as a whole.
5. That Junior membership is open to
grades In the school, providing the school
contemplates complete organization later,
but not to individual pupils.
6. That Junior membership Is granted
when a sum equal to 25 cants for each
child in the school has been contributed
to the chapter school fund or when the
school Is pledged to prepare Red Cross
supplies or engage in other Red Cross
work approved and supervised by the
Red Cross chapter.
7. That all money raised is to be spent
for materials which will be used by the
school for Its Red Cross work. No part
of the school fund Is used for local Red
Cross expenses, and no part goes to
Washington.
