THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT
IS EASILY OBTAINABLE
You need not Worry about your
failure to buy Christmas gifts in October.
The best gift is available
now. There is an unlimited supply
and there will be no difficulty in purchasing.
The cost is only one dollar.
This gift is membership in the Red
Cross, end it is a gift to the Chesterfield
county boys in the army and
navy as well as to victims ofwar in
all countries. These men will interpret
an overwhelming enrollment of
the American Red Cross as a guaraI
tee of continued service of a land
I they have learned to value highly.
The Red Cross Christmass Roll Call
December 16-23, will afford opportunity
to buy this gift, and delivery
will be made without fail on Christmas
Eve in a cablegram to be sent
to General Pershing announcing the
united support of the nation for .tip*
Red Cross policy.

Our two million soldiers in France,
our sailors on the high seas and the
men in training in this country should
know beyond a shadow of dOubt that
they will receive everything?absolutely
everything?-in the way of
Red Cross service until, thp last one
is mustered out. A universal response
to the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
will give them such assurance.
If possible Chesterfield should enroll
every adult the first day, December
16. At any rate must b? finished
before Christmas eve.

4 THE RED CRO88 ROLL CALL. 4
4 8
When "the greatest mother In 4
4 the world" calls the roll t}ie 4
4 week of December 10-US the 4
4 hope of the American Red Cross 4
4 is that the answer for the entire 4
4 American people will be: "All 4
4 present, or accounted for.** 4
4 It will be the occasion for
22,000,000 adults and 8,000,000 4
4 children to renew their member- 4
ship and for all others to Join.
4 One happy slogan of the roll call
4 announces that "all yon need Is 4
4 a heart and a dollar." 4
4 Why does the Red Cross at
Christmas conduct a member- 4
4 Bhlp campaign t Because It unites 4
4 the people In an Intimate way 4
4 with the organization they hare 4
4 supported so magnificently. In 4
4 other countries one of the most 4
4 Impressive things about the 4
4 American Red Cross Is the size _
4 of Its membership, attesting 4 m
truly popular approval. 4
4 This Christmas, when our
country la out of the deep waters +
of the war, every dollar paid for 4
4 an annual membership In the 4
4 Red Cross will be a direct 4
4 Christmas gift to our land, air 4
4 and sea forces and to thoss who 4
4 have felt the sting of war In I t
way that we In this country 4
4 have not experienced. The mtn
Istratlons of the Red Cross will 4
4 be as good a substitute for 4
4 Christmas at home as can be 4
4 furnished under the clreuro- 4
4 stances. 4
4 The women of Amerloa, see- 4
4 Ing in the Red Cross an exteo
slon upon a universal scale of 4
4 the mothering instinct, will be 4
4 quick to answer "Here" to the
roll call, because service and 4
4 sacrifice are womanly qualities 4
4 and they are Red Cross quail- 4
ties.
President Wilson, as president 4
of the American Red Cross, 4
