The ladies of the Improvement

in general for the generous contri-
buttons to the rummage sale held
last week. They are especially in
debted to the local papers for the
extensive advertising done through
their columns; to Mr.. Jensen for
the use of his building free of charge
and to the other store keepers who
in spite of the inroads the sale
was making in, their various de-
partments graciously loaned their
brooms, pals, etc., to aid the
housekeepers who had turned store
keepers for the week. The sale adj
ded the goodly sum of $195 to the
League treasury. After the wind

put in the bank for safe keeping
until next spring when it will be
used in whatever way will add
most to the good of the city.
