DRIVE FOR MEMBERSHIP FOR FOURTH ROLE CALL IS ON. ♦ An army of more than a million men and women, boys and girls is "putting over" the Fourth Roll Call of the American Red Cross in Lake Division—Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. This great body of workers includes members of 300 active Red Cross chapters in the three states, boys and girls of the Junior Red Cross, Boy Scouts, thousands of American Legion men and members of many business add civic organizations. Reports to Lake Division headquarters in Cleveland indicate that last year’s membership will be far outdistanced and the present goal of 1,500,000 will be easily reached. Orders for 1921 membership buttons and other supplies have swamped Four Roll Calf headquarters. Before the supply of buttons was exhausted, making nevessary S. 0. S. calls to other divisions, 1,700,000 had been sent out to chapters. - The printing plant at division headquarters has engaged an extra force to supply emergency orders for receipts as a result of underestimation of Lake Division’s response in the Roll Call. In a number of cities Red Cross women workers are enrolling members on the street cars while automobile enrollment booths are being utilized in many rural communities.

FEVERISH FODDER FOR FRESH FOOTBALL FANATICS

Mr. Parker and his celebrated troupe were at it again last evening. Even some of the ancient city fathers are becoming interested, for all of the street lights were turned on and the large light used by the band in giving concerts during the summer months.was placed in front of the’ court house for the benefit of the Parkerites. —o— The team is made up of a collection of high strung youths with as many imaginary ills as a group of Dowieite ladies at a quilting bee. < —o — Mr. Parks of the backfield used Mr. Bott’s telephone last night to inform the coach that he would be unable to be present at the workout on account'of sickness. Unless that gent recovers his art of shimmying, when he carries the ball he’ll be a lot sicker Sunday evening. A 280pound cattpgulting tackle connecting with a 133-pound backfield man isn’t generally conclusive to perfect health on>-the part of the latter. —o— "■ Some stormy petrel sitting in the amen corner arises to ask where the Rensselaer players are to get the numbers for their sweaters in the Michigan City game. They’re going to get them the same place they get their orange colored perseys. —o•— / "Pansy" Ross was again present at the rubbing table last night. He ia about as useful as a pair of tonsils. When it comes to presenting an Annette Kellerman form to the public’s gaze, John Robinson leads the procession. He .is a perfect fifty-' six and looks so cut below the knees. The Kentland management is gumshoeing the universe these days in an effort to corral all of the high grade gridiron talent that is loose in these parts. Kentland folks will be so unacquainted with, the players that take the field for Kentland Sunday that many of them will, no doubt mistake the Rensselaer team for their own team. , The front page of the current issue of the Kentland Enterprise is filled with football lore. Even Kentland seems to be becoming civilized. ... r The procession to Kentland will start about eleven-thirty o clock Sunday morning. The cortege will return about five o’clock. A pair of Kentland gumshoe artists passed through here last evening en route to Medaryville, so they reid. Evidently they are on the trail of the Guild brothers. Local fans might have tipped the pair off to the fact that the Guild boys were visiting in the southern par- . state, but they didn’t • It is reported that a Kentland representative was in Morocco Thursday for the purpose of securing five of the Mororeo playeM for the Sunday game.

Mr- Parker’s, (we call him Mister because his wife insists), flock of invalids is constituted of the following: Royster, broken collarbone; Parks, too, many tonsils; Beam, spavins; Phegley, a cough-syrup cold; Louis Putts, a delusion of maladministration ; “Pus” Collins, Brookitis; Newton Henry, overwork; Babcock, a broken blood vessel in the right arm; “Tiny” Thompson, overeating; Owen Simons, injured hip; Eigelsbach, a poor quality of toe nails.' In speaking of coming game, the Kentland Enterprise says: “Rensselaer has played with some of the best teams in the states of Indiana and Illinois, and have won all of their games to date, with the exception of last Sunday when Kentland held them to a scoreless tie. Last Sunday’s game was pronounced by veterans to have been the fastest, cleanest and best game played in this locality in years.” It is said that Kentland merchants are looking with disfavor’ upon the action of the Kentland management in procuring outside players with which to defeat Rensselaer. The merchants are of the belief that if Kentland cannot produce her own players she had better stay off the football field; and say that even if their team is victorious that Kentland can claim very little credit. —Oh— Warren T.

JUDGE-ELECT WILLIAMS IN NEW ROLE SUNDAY

George A. Williams of Rensselaer. Judge-elect of the circuit, filed the pulpit at Trinity church Sunday evening, being the fourth speaker in the series of Sunday evening talks by laymen, being given at that church. Mr. Williams talked on law enforcement, applying the lesson from the national government down through the various state, county and local subdivisions and into the home. He expressed the conviction that the degree of one's patriotism depended on the support given the government, and deplored the seeming inclination of the people to evade responsibilities and deny governmental and home control necessary to civilization. The speaker stated that the greatest progress of this country was made during a period when respect for authority was paramount. Mr. Williams is a pleasing speaker and drew his conclusions admirably. He was accompanied by Mrs. Williams.—Kentland Enterprise.
