A Stronsr Pull Together for
the Red Cross Fund
Freeport Committee Hard at Work and Sure of Success
Chairman Elvin N. Edwards re¬ ports that Freeport i.s going "Over the Top" in the big Red Cross Drive for the Second War Fund. Freeport's quota is |11,103. The drive closes Sunday night, May 27. If everybody will take hold''2nd pull all together for the balance of this week there will be no question about the success of this second national Red Crosa War Fund.
Colonel Theodore Rooaevelt, chair¬ man of the Nassau County Commit'- tee, ^id in his Garden City and Port Washington speeches:
"The object of our getting together and working together on this Red Cross Drive is to put ourselves sol- idVy back of the men at the front."
Bishop Burgess, of the Cathedral of the Iiu;amation. in introducing Col- Roosevelt, said: „
"We pledge ourselves to the relig¬ ion of the service. We pledge our¬ selves to do all we can for a-good and holy cause. It is the cause of every well behaved country."
Mr. Roosevelt in one of his other speeches, said that the prime step of every American is the work of the army and navy but that of their work stands for the American people who cannot go to the front to fight but must back up the fighters with deeds and not words. Those deeds are rep¬ resented by what they do for the Government and what they do direct¬ ly to help the men when they are wounded and help the people who are suffering as a result of the war. He spoke feelingly in referring indirectly to the wounds of hia own son. Cap¬ tain Archie Roosevelt, when he said that eveiry parent would like to be at the battle front to pick up and care for his beloved one in the service, but that since the parent could not be at the front, the greatest parent, the greateat niothei- in the world "was tho Red Cross. ' We, said *he, would be poor Americaiw, sinful AmerScans, if we did not do our part.
iNasnau Couuty'a quota ia $300,000. There are approximately 120,000 in- habitanta in Long Isljpnd in Nassau County In the Snmmer time. If all were on ah equ|^ footing that would be $2.50 each. But iant Christmas when the. big Red Cross Drive for membership was made, it was shown that only 30,000 or 269V of the inhabi¬ tants joiited the Jled Ciosa and the price at that time was only $1.00. If ail of thoae 30,000 should contribute to the Red Cross at the present time, that would mean tbat eaeh should con¬ tribute 910 to raise the |3l40.000. utrned arounvl and came back '4nd
But there are aome who cannot giva more than ten cents, aome who will give 25 eenta, some o» eenta, and ¦onui 11.00, some |5.00.
tliere are scne who will giva |100, $500, $1000,
The qucBiion, however, is for each oAe to ftgiire out, flrst, whether he can do his Mhftre, whieh is 12.50. The
next question to figure is, how many shares for othet people are you will¬ ing to do? In the Red Cro»a_^jerrt- bership each member who actually joined had to do the work of the three other people, who were too lazy, too careless, too poor, too indifferent or too much of a slacker to join.
The question for every head of a household to figure out is, first, "I must do the share that belongs to my family. If I have three children and a wife, then I have five shares to take care of, or $12.50. There are other families too poftr tq do their share, and I must do their shares for them."
When a soldier is put in the front line to hold against an enemy attack and the reserves have not reached him, he says: "I must hold this line against all odd^. If there are two to one I must cut the two; if there are four to one, I must beat back the four; if there are ten to one, by the Etemal help I will keep them back until help comes."
We would all applaud that kind of an American soldier. >We would say that he was "true blue," that he was a hero.
Well, Americans at home who fight through the Red Cross to give band¬ ages and food and encouragement and real help to the soldiers at the front are fighting just as much for their country and the flag when they give ta the Red Cross as th^y would if they were on the battleship' shooting submarines or on land fighting back the enemy attack.
Byron C. Goiild, who presided at the big Roosevelt meeting last Sun¬ day in Port Washington—and who in the Red Cross Christmas Drive made the highest record in the County for itiembership while he was chairman for Port Washington—said: "When you bought liberty bonds you did not g'lve anythinji: to your country, you merely bought the greatest and soundest security in the world. You can "give that Liberty Bond to the Red Cross, tliereby making your mon¬ ey do double duty. The $100 with which you bought the Liberty Bond will ie used by the Government to finance the war and then you give that Liberty Bond to the Red Cross and the Red Cross will use it to fin¬ ance the relief work for the soldiera and sailors who are fighting your battles." '
The Red Croas asks you to give your money to its bank of war ser¬ vice until you leel the sacrifice. The boys who go across give everything— home, loved ones, comfort, success in business or profession—everything^ You merely give some of your moneyi Unless you give enough to feel cramped, unless you give au rauch that y»u do not Mee where you can raise the money to pay the claim, you are not making the aacrifice which the Red Cross work deserves; you are not doing yourself justice; you are not acting in n way worthy of j^oar Anieriean citisenship; you are not do¬ ing your part in tbia war for democ¬ racy for liberty, humanity and .jas- tiee.
It is not how little you can give, or what yoor ^are of ,giving may be the real qoestioii U laavi mjich can
and before they started aw.iy a^ain gave a "Rah, rah, rah, Freeport," which .mr.du us fee! .vccd. (By the way, it is the spirit of those boys, our Aniercian boys, enthusiiUitic at work ,r play, that i:i p-oi'if; to win us the war, and save the world from a trans¬ fer of Hadei to earth with the Kais¬ er as dictator.
The Women on Duty Saturday night, Mrs. .A. P. Uavis- .icn, chairman of the Ladio.i' Commit¬ tee, served refreshmeiTLs ut Head¬ quarters, assisted by Mrs. Goldman, Mrs. Nutt and Mrs. Plump and JJrs. Hartmann, and the Misses Henrietta Terry, Florence Wells and Bessie Smith.
Sunday night Mrs. S. F. Pearsall was jn'charge, assisted by iVfts. Hart¬ mann, Mrs. J. .\. Sutphin. Mrs. E. L. Watkins, Mrs. Averill .Marlow and Miss Jane Rider at the piano.
On Sunday we invited our guests to come down and participate in the Red Cross parade Monday night and many of them agreed to do so, so in¬ stead -of sending our extra cakes over to the hospital, the small crowd not requiring them all Sunday night, they were kept and the boys invited to "chow" with us again after the pa¬ rade, when we had about a hundred of them visiting us. The commit¬ tee frofh Sunday night held over in service again, with the active help of Mrs. Davisson.
Entertain Your Boys
Sunday moming several parties drove up and took groups of soldiers out for auto rides, and they were surely appreciated.
Sunday evening several others did the same thing, one in particular taking several of our guests back to camp. You who have autos can give your soldier lads a good treat by this little attention.
We can also supply more soldiers for dinner or supper Sundays if you will just fone or drop around at the club rooms.

All of the money does not have to be paid at once. The first one-fburth payment is due July Ist, the second one-fourth is due August 1st, the third September 1st, and the last pay¬ ment is due October 1st, 1918.
Whatever you decide you can give now make that only the first quarter¬ ly payment. Give four times as much as you think you can pay now and then sacrifice, if need be, in order to give an equal amount on August 1st, September 1st, and October Ist.
Summer residents, who spend their Winters in the city, or south, are ur¬ gently reque-'ted by the County Chair¬ man, Mr. Roosevelt, to make liberal contributions in their County. They use the roads, the police protection, they have all of the advantages of the beautj/ul Summer homes in Nas¬ sau County and the County Red Cross organization is entitled to their con¬ tribution.

258 Stars in Service Flag
A new service flag for our village was flung to the breeze, without cere¬ mony, Monday afternoon, talking the place of the one in use before.
The new flag has 258 stars against 220 in the old one.
The committee plans to alternate the two flags. For ins^nce the one taken down will be-kept for about a month and then put up again with as many additional stars as are requis¬ ite at that time, in turn replacing the one now up
