All who | had the pleasure of hearing his address pronounce it a most | masterly effort in behalf of the Red Cross work the organization | is rendering on the battle fronts of Europe. He reviewed the! causes of the war, the duties of the American citizens at home to provide for the men at the front and on the American ships. He told of the plans of the drive in| Idaho and urged that the citizens respond loyally to the call for more members, which means more funds to carry forward the good work. | | In most forcible language Mr. | You cau pay your taxes through this bank AN So7 y Y Cottonwood M & Elevator Co., L now fighting tiie yo". ~ satis 4 i that drove the German-Ame.- citizens from their native land to* this country of liberty and de- mocracy. He said the United States has given these people all) they possess and it is now their) duty to-defend the government| that has made their prosperity possible. | Mr. Weeks told the Cotton-! wood citizens that a responsibili- | ty rested upon them that no! other people could assume. He! said the time was at hand when | every citizen must take his place | in the support of the government| and the support of the organiza- | tion identified with the govern-| ment in the prosecution of the war. He reviewed the work of the Red Cross and said no com- munity can afford to withhold its turn from the battle fronts to condemn them for failure to as- sist in maintaining the efficiency of this great institution. Mr. Weeks told how the great inter-| ests of the country are giving their money and directing their men to give their time to the Red Cross work and other work which aids the government in| the prosecution of the war. It is the general regret of those, who heard Mr. Weeks’ eloquent patriotic address that every citi- | zen of Cottonwood and vicinity did not hear it.
