EBEN WELCOMES COLT "ToPsY" YOUNG
Eben Whitcomb of Citypoint has big black
colt Topsy, sired by Tonolu. which is attracting
fully as much attention and winning as much
praise did Fourth of July Jack, sired by
Island Prince and owned and broken by Eben's
brother, Merle Ray. Jack was two years old
the fourth of last July, while Topsy on the
ninth of last July completed her first year of
equine existence. Topsy was broken by Eben,

no rival, unless it may be her half brother
Jack. All last summer Topsy did her share
of work on the farm, blowing, moving
raking hay and hauling loads, and she also
did her share of the family driving. Last

In AID OF THE RED Cross. The tea and
musical given in Memorial Hall, Friday after
noon and evening, for the benefit of the Red
Cross work in stricken Italy, was the success
the object deserved and the proceeds of the
affair, which amounted to 500, were sent the
first of the week to the Society's headquarters
in Portland. The movement was started by
the Guild of the North Congregational church,
and the Union of the First Parish (Unitarian)
. church, and their efforts were ably seconded
by many of the ladies in other denominations.
Everywhere most generous response was
, made to appeals for cooperation. The use of
Memorial Hall was given by Thomas H.
Marshall Post G. A. R., the use of piano was
given by Mr.. E. S. Pitcher, with free trans
portation for it given BY the truckman. The
grocers, and fruit dealers, the milkmen, w. E.
: Hamilton, florist, and many others, were most
generous, and it was this practical helpfulness
that helped materially toward swelling the
: sum total of the proceeds. Memorial Hall

and sailed peanuts were served. The pourers,
were the wives of the clergymen assisted by
several others, and the young ladies who
served were gowned in white, with the
Red Cross badge on their left arm. No
