In order to enable the American Red Cross to carry on its broad activi ; ties, ranging from service to the world war veteran to instant response in time of disaster, a membership of 5,000,000 should be enrolled, and in this year of 1928-1929 that is the goal set for the twelfth annual roll call, to be held from November 11 to 29, Armis tice to Thanksgiving Day. John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross at Washington, in calling upon the nation for 5,000,000 adult members, directs attention to the great expenditures required of the Red Cross for disaster and veteran re lief work, and for its many other ac tivities devoted to health preservation and improvement and to cutting down the number of accidental deaths, through life saving and first aid courses. "The Red Cross should at all times have a large reserve fund," Judge Payne stated, "because when disaster strikes, and this organization is called into instant action, there is no time to stop and raise funds. Dollars may mean lives, so we should have at all times a good reserve. We have been forced each year to draw upon our reserves, and we find that the de mands are increasing annually." Judge Payne pointed out that in the fiscal year of 1927-28, the Red Cross had extended aid in 66 major catastro phes in the United States and its insular possessions, and in 22 nations abroad. This does not include the West Indies hurricane disaster in Porto Rico and Florida, which oc curred after the close of the Red Cross fiscal year, June 30, 1928. The Red Cross expenditures for dis aster in that period were $16,544,- 258.87, of which approximately $13,- 000,000 was expended in the Missis sippi Valley for the flood relief work, i which came from a fund contributed by the public. More than $1,000,000 was expended in the St. Louis tornado damage, and more than $1,000,000 in New England. In both cases public relief funds were raised, although in New England the Red Cross contribu ! ted in excess of $500,000 from its own j funds for the relief work. In the ma i jority of the other 66 disasters, and in all of the 22 foreign catastrophes in which the Red Cross extended aid, the money came from its own re i sources. j The largest item in the annual bud- I get of the Red Cross is for its veteran | relief and work for disabled ex-service i and service men, upon which it ex i pended in this year $1,169,795. Every man and woman is asked by Judge Payne to join the Red Cross during the roll cafl period, to aid in these humanitarian enterprises. AN APPRECIATION FOR REV. M. F. MOORES I I I j The Reidsville, (N. C.) Review of a recent date carried the following compliment to Rev. M. F. Moores in its columns: "Rev. M. F. Moores, former four year pastor of Main Street M. E. church in Reidsville, now pastor of the First M. E. church at Forest City, was returned to the same charge again for the ensuing year. Mr. j Moores is among those ministers ' whose untiring efforts and labor of love among the people he serves give him a warm place in their hearts. As j a minister and a man Mr. Moores is | pure gold." During Mr. Moores' two years of work in Forest City he has also won as equally a warm place in the hearts of the people of his congregation and of the town. It was with genuine pleasure that the people of Forest City learned that he was to be re turned this year, and many are the hearts that are yearning for his re turn next year.

President Coolidge delivered a mes- j I sage on Decoration Day of this year | ; in which he pointed out the fact that 'no matter where a war might break out in the world it would be pre judicial to this country. War is simply lawlessness and destruction and the commercial in terests of the United States today are so widespread, our investments and 'trade relations are so far reaching 'that it is almost impossible to con j ceive of any conflict anywhere on ! earth which would not affect us in i juriously. ; The President also stressed the ! fact that the United States is engag ; ed in warfare only for the protection ! of American citizens. It is incumbent upon every nation to protect its own citizens. Unfortunately the plan of Wood row Wilson for a league of nations ! did not receive universal support. ; While this writer enthusiastically | supported Mr. Wilson's idea he holds ,no brief for any one plan. ! Equally to be approved are the ef- I forts of Secretary of State Kellogg ito conclude a treaty with European j powers for the complete outlawry of 'war. Just so we arrive at a stage of i civilization where war is not counten anced and glorified it makes no diff i erence by what route we get there. Mr. Coolidge also laid stress upon jthe best argument of the most in telligent pacifists, to wit, that '"the chief defenses of America lie not in her armed forces but in the in dustry, prosperity and patriotism of | her people; these are of far greater importance than preparedness. " i The same day at Thiaucourt, France, General Pershing addressed an audience where he said that "mil lions of graves cry out against war, and the big nations must show the way to durable peace." He continued that war threatened civilization because of the "fallaci | ous theory that war is an essential element in the national policy of a government," and an erroneous be lief that nations become great I through aggressive undertakings. General Pershing insisted that his tory disproves that the expansion of one modern civilized nation at the expense of the other can be perma : nent. ; "There would appear to be no long ;er any reason," he said, "why lead jing civilized powers could not agree I among themselves to the general principle of the elimination of war as an avowed instrument of nation- j •al policy." j It need not interfere with the | necessities of reasonable armament, 1 jhe said, "nor the fulfillment of con j sistent obligations." The day is coming when public j opinion, that final arbitor of destiny, j will rapidly turn against war.—Dr. ' Frank Crane, j j | Famous Cough j Prescription Contains No Chloroform or Other • Harmful Drugs The use of medicines containing ! chloroform or dope to relieve cough iing is dangerous and unnecessary.
