J. J. Law|er Largest Giver to Red Cross Stamp Sale.

’ J. J. Lawler, one of our largest land owners, has again evidenced the fact that his heart is equal in size to his pocketbook, by giving $25 to the Red Cross Stamp fund which is being raised in this county. Mr. Lawler never fails to respond generously to every worthy call and it would be well if more persons o£ ample means would follow his example. In these days there are constant calls for help for many worthy causes but none that are more worthy than the sale of * Red Cross Seals, the proceeds of which are used to combat the great white plague, tuberculosis. It. has been shown in the examination of the men for the national army that already a great number of cases exist. Three years of Canadian experience shows that one out of every eight soldiers returned from battlefields and cmaps returned from battlefield and camps will be returned on account of tuberculosis. ■ These men must be cared. for in their home state. Tuberculosis is the scourge of the armies of this war. To make the world safe for democracy it is necessary to make it unsafe for tuberculosis. Let others give generously; do not wait to be urged, everyone is busy. It is as much duty to see them as it is theirs to see you. The stamps are on sale in all business places at Red Cross headquarters,or from any member of the following committee. Mrs. Oran Parker, Mrs. E. C. English, Mrs. E. J. Randle, Mrs. L. E. Barber, Mrs. J. I. Gwin.
