Books are at the banks and dim; store on the East and West Sides. Speed up the raffle so that some boy or girl may receive this pony as a Christmas gift. The committee appointed in Red Cross on arrangement and card party preparatory to dedication of service Sag is dismissed with a cheer in ap­ preciation of the eo-operation dem^ onstrated by the committee on this occasion. The poultry committees fran the various districts in the territory have failed to make report as requested. However, one little farmer giri, Miss Frances Peterson, turned in $10 to the Red Cross on Friday afternoon. This sum she received from the sale of eight chickens, thus making her promise good. She has the sincere appreciation of all and we are sure that her efforts will bring comfort and cheer "over there" and the les­ son she teaches is also impressive.
