RED CROSS AGENTS ARE BEING SOUGHT Plea for Support in Fourth Roll Call Made. “The peace time program ol the American Bed Cross, probably the most farreaching In the history of this organization, and one that contemplates service benefiting, directly or Indirectly, every man, woman and child In the United States, can not; be carried out unless the people extend their support by enrolling as members during the fourth roll call." This message was brought to the conference of Indiana chapter roll call directors at the Claypool Hotel by Dr. S. 3. Brewster, of Lake division headquarters, Cleveland. Speaking on “The Relation of the Fourth Roll Call to the Peace Time ProTram of the Red Cross,” Dr. Brewster sketched the stupendous task faced by the Bed Cross, both abroad and In the f'nlted States. Telling of the work of the Home Service Section In handling the cases of 781,282 ex-service men. he emphasized the vastness of this task by declaring thpt to have shaken the hand of each man aa he passed by would have taken 13,021 hours, or three years of 240 working days a year. “Last year we spent $1.47 per capita to protect hoga from haying beg cholera and the enormous sum 'of 29 cents per capita for public health,” was one of Dr. Brewster's graphic comparisons. He then added: “But the great American Red Cross is going to help change that disgraceful record 1” H. B. division roll call director, outlined working methods for the membership driye Nov. 11 to 25 and conducted a round table discussion ot suggested modes of procedure for various conditions to be met by the chapters. MrS. Harrison Ewing, head or the Junior Red Cross department In the Lake Division, told of the remarkable growth of the Junior Red Cross since It entered on an era of international usefulness In 1317. The chapter representatives displayed keen Interest In Mrs. Ewing's portrayal of the part the Junior Red Cross Is performing in cooperating with the United States Bureau of Education In the promotion of Instruction in civics In the schools.* Mrs. Ruth Mougey Worrell, author of “The Red Cross of Peace,” the pageant to be produced all over tbe country during the membership enrollment period. Impressed on the directors the vital role the pageant will play In explaining the transition of the Red Cross from a wartime to a basis. The Indianapolis conference was the first of three called fer the States constituting the Lake " Division—lndiana, Ohio and Kentucky.

McCray in hi / official capacity as assessor and proceeded to make out the assessment sheet for 1919, by asking the necessary question of Mr. McCray and from his answers, making the assessment sheet. “Affiant states tjiat in answer to the amount of Liberty bonds said McCray owned on March 1, 1919, McCray told said affiant that he owned Liberty bonds to the amount of SIB,OOO, and that affiant, lu writing in said amount on said assessment sheet, erroneously wrote In said assessment sheet, the amount, $1300.00, instead of the amount of $18,000.00. which said McCray at the time said he owned. “That said Warren T. McCray owned Liberty bonds on March 1, 1919,- to the amount of SIB,OOO 00, according to the statement made by said Warren T. McCray to-this affiant, as assessor ns aforesaid. “That affiant wrote in the assessment sheet of said Warren T. McCray, for said year 1919, by error, that said McCray owned Liberty bonds on March 1, 1919, to the amount of $1,800.00. “Affiant states, that when his sttentlon was called to the error ho wont to the office of the auditor of Newton County, Indiana, for the jarpose of making the correction in said assessment sheet and upon examination found that the correction had already been made.

It 1* noted hers Ahat while McCray said In his sworn statement that he replied to the'question, “How many Government bonds did you purchase during ’the war!” that ths assessor in his affidavit said “that In answer to the amount of Liberty bonds'said McCray owned on March 1, 1919, Mr. McCray told affiant that he /owned Liberty bonds to the amount of $18,000,” Probably the attempt to correct Mr. McCray's Liberty bond record on the eve of a political campaign would not have caused so much comment here bad it not been for the fact that ths Discount and Deposit Bank of Kentland, of which Mr. McCray is president, - trails'! the other Newton County banks In responding to the Government's financial appeals during the war. Figures published by the Seventh Federal Reserve Bank district show that when the Government was preparing to inaugurate the third Liberty loan drive the Discount and Deposit Bank subscribed to only $2,000 worth of treasury certificates of indebtedness.
MoCRAT BANK LOW BUYER. The bank took SI,OOO worth of the issue on Feb. 27, 1918, and another thousand on April 22, 1918. - At the same time the Kent State Bank, McCray's financial competitor In Kentland, took $20,000 worth of the certificates. Other banlfs In Newton County were liberal subscribers to the same issue, according to the Federal Reserve report. The first National Bank of.Goodland took SIO,OOO of the Issue; the State Trust and Savings Bank of Goodland, $5,000; the Citizens State Bank of Morocco. $3,000; the Farmers’ State Bank of Morocco, $2,500, and the bank es Mt. Ayr, $3,000. At the time of the third drive the banks were hard pressed at times available money, as the Government demanded the actual money. In the fifth and last Liberty loan crusa'fle, however, the banks taking treasury certificates of Indebtedness simply put up their subscriptions as col.-teraJ to the Government. On this drive, months after the war was ended, the Discount and Deposit Bank, outdistanced all other Institutions In Newton County, taking $106,000 of the Issue.

His Holiness ' Pope Benedict XV. Indorses £hg Autoftkuid YOU, like everyone else nowadays, want yonr home to have good music in it and your family to derive all the pleasures aud benefits therefrom. The main question to decide is : What instrument will give you the high musical perfection you ought to have, and yet be purchasable at a moderate price ? Cardinal Gasparri has written: “His Holiness Pope Benedict wishes to .express his high appreciation of the AUTOPIANO apd confers upon The Autopiano Company the title of Official Purveyor to His Holiness, with the right to display the Coat of Arms of Ilis Holiness in conjunction with the trade mark of the Company.” Surely this is high enough authority und strong enough indorsement to satisfy the most doubtful. When you consider that not only a moderate price will*buy it, but that convenient terms of payment can be arranged, your decision should be the AUTOPIANO. Steinway & Sons 40 North Pennsylvania St.
