Thirty members were pres­ ent. Sunday's game netted $29.40, mak­ ing a total of |75.81 for the three games. " A supply of garments will be ready for shipment the first of next week. They are sent in dozen lots. Members sincerely appreciate the efforts of the business men who have enriched the treasury by their well patronized baseball games. Letters to Mrs. N. J. J us ten and Mrs. T. J. Walsh from our soldier boys were read at the meeting Fri­ day. Many other appreciations were announced. v Light brown and silver grey yarn has been substituted for the khaki and the knitters are hard at work. :No amateurs will be supplied until the rush order is filled. A committee of five were appointed to arrange for a benefit movie show 'to be put on the latter part of this month. The date is permanently set, when every theatre in the United States will give a benefit for the Red Cross. Mr. Smith is, as usual, in line and will donate one evening's re­ ceipts. Particulars , will be given Out in these columns when the com­ mittee reports. Important A story is being industriously cir­ culated to the effect that sweaters, socks and other articles knitted for the Red Cross are being sold either to the public in stores or direct to the soldiers. Harvey D. Gibson, general man­ ager, American Red Cross, has di rected us to issue this notice to each chapter in the central division, deny ing this story vigorously. No article whatever, either knitted or otherwise made by Red Cross work ers turned in to any Red Cross chap­ ter, branch or to auxiliaries, or to any Red Cross supply warehouse, are sold either to the soldiers or to any shops Mr. Gibson warns that if any will­ ful case of this sort should come to the attention of Washington head­ quarters, the charter of the Red Cross chapter or subsidiary organization sanctioning it would be immediately withdrawn with full publicity. Should it transpire that any actual instance of the above character occurred wherein an individual sold articles after their having been turned into the Red Cross, such action would be clearly in violation of the fundamen tal law of the Red Cross and we would take vigorous steps to prosecute the offender. It is also true that any case of persons oth^r than those acquiring the right pior to January, 1905, us­ ing the name or emblem of the Red Cross, to assist in the sale of mer­ chandise, is a violation of the pro­ vision of the federal criminal law and the offender will he reported to the United States district attorney for prosecution. , ^ - Bruce D.

Risley, former McHenry residents, will be'of interest to his many friends here. Henry enlisted in the First So. Dakota Cavalry on April 2 last. The letter: "Some Where" in Missouri, Sept. 15, 1917. My Dear Mother and Father--I am writing on the train as we left Sioux Falls at 3:00 this p. m. They gave us a big send-off, a lunch at the Auditorium and all the rest. This is the anniversary of the cavalry. It was organized a year ago today. You remember I enlisted on April 2. We were mustered into federal service on June 21 and I am sending you my papers--an honorable discharge from the national guard into the United States army on Aug. 5. • We stopped at Omaha and received our pay this morning. Took our morning exercise between Omaha and Kansas City and had dinner at Kan* sas City. Then we stopped at Em­ poria for a half mile run; again at imy, N. Mex. The scenery was cer- jtainly great. When we arrived at Deming we had to walk two miles to Camp Cody. There were two square i miles of cavalry tents. There is an ndian troop here |ind twenty-six other troops besides ourselves, who number about two thousand. I surely like this country. We are on the edge of the great tiesert and there are great giant cactus as tall as trees, and little, tiny ones, too, and bull lakes, rattlers, • lizards and centi- peds in plenty. We have our streets all graded and the grounds ai'fe the best in the regi­ ment, so they tell us. We had a six­ teen mile hike today and yesterday some of the boys got another vacci­ nation. I have a book of views for you of the scenery along the Santa Fe. Al­ so a big picture of our camp and one of my bunkie and myself. He is a good fellow, but quite a bit older than and I have to write his love letters as he cannot write English, altho he has a good education (Norwegian). Our horses came in the other day, but they have not been issued yet. There was a little real western play here last Sunday, but I could not go. There was some riding of outlaw horses and bulls. One of the men in troop B won $75 for the best riding. We have fine meals here and a Y. M. C. A. building, where it is always quiet. There is a victrola, a piano, magazines, candy and stationery free and also cards of the places of in­ terest. There are a lot of new troops com­ ing in--an average of four train loads per day--and from three to six troops per train. We have our camp all done now-- cool shower baths, electric lights and our infantry drill ground, and we also have the best officers and colonel and major you ever saw. 1 like this life No. 1. I want to come back and see all the folks, but will surely make my home in the West. Some of the boys get pretty lone­ some and they never get a letter or hear from anyone, so if you know any nice girls who would correspond with them they would appreciate it won­ derfully. I received the box of eats and they were great It pretty near spoiled me. Please write often and tell me all the news. Affectionately, Henry. Troop C, 1st S.. Dak.
