sP1LLv1LLE.

The Red Cross auction sale held here
Saturday, Dec. Is. 1917. proved great
success, the totul receipts for the day
ard evening amounting to over $500.
MIR. Goodno, of DEBORAH acted as auc-
tioneer. Many articles were sold and
resold, and brought goodly sums. A
fine silk United States flag. made and
donated by the ladies of the Red Cross
brought $l35. 90 alone. A cake given
by the domestic science class of the
public school auctioned at the supper
table, after it was divided among those
eating at the supper table, sold as high
as Sc slice, bringing altogether the
sum of $l28. A goose was repeatedly
sold and given back to be resold and
thus it brought $47.50. A tiny Scotch
Collie pup was sold for $l4. A goat
which had been previously sold at Red
Cross auction in other towns brought
$11.5O A hat that WAS sent here from
Calmar was bought for $3.50, and we
understand that the lucky buyer of the
| hat will dispatch it to another town to
serve for like occasion. The entire

occasion by playing appropriate selec-
