Dance and Campfire Banquet With
Booths and Many Unique
Features Are Provided

In keeping with the sentiment of
Mobilization Day, September 9Th,
set apart as holiday for patriotic
demonstrations, the local Red Cross
Chapter will give a big dance on
Tuesday evening, September 4, in
honor of the men who have been
selected from Churchill county for
the great new American army. 1t is
nlanned to make the event the most
notable of its kind ever held in
Churchill county.
Those who attend this function
will have the satisfaction not only
of doing honor to men who will go
to the front, but also of materially
contributing to their relief and com
fort. This from the fact that the
dance will be Red Cross benefit.
and all proceeds will be applied to
the work of the local chapter. That
this work will require abundant Il
nancial support, will be seen from
the fact that the first request re-
eelved by the Chapter for supplies
calls for 100 knitted sets composed
of sweater. socks. mufller, and
wrlstlets, which represents value
of at least $3.50. II is hoped To
realize at least this amount from
the coming dance.
The affair will be in the nature of
a real farewell celebration. There
will be other diversions aside from
dancing A short progam has been
arranged consisting of patriotic
songs by L. H. Brigham and male
chorus. Comfort kits, prepared By
the Red Cross ladies will be pre-
sented TO each soldier. The present
alton speech will be made by Geo.
E. McCracken. Kits will be pre-
pared not only for the boys soon TO
go, but also for those who are al
ready in the services. Their names
win be called, and the kits will be
mailed to them.
Other special features will be n
vegetable booth, at which choice
products contributed by some of the
best farms in the valley, will be-ofs
fered for sale, and a fishing pool at
which those who like to take n
chance" can satisfy their curiosity
for ten cents. Then there viii be
liberty lemonade, cool and refresh
ing, on tap at all times.
Commencing at about 10 p. m.
camp fire" supper will be served
at 35c per plate. On the menu will
be sandwiches, pickles, baked beans,
coffee, cake and ice cream. The sup
per will be served at the Overland
Hotel.
General Admission to the dance
will be 800 for gentlemen. ladies
free. Everything will be free to the
soldier boys.
II is hoped that everything need
ed for this affair will be contributed,
so that practically the entire pro-
ceeds will go to the Red Cross. For
the fishing pond nearly everyone will
be able to send in some small ar
ticle worth from &c TO 25c Doubt
less there will be many amusing sur
prises. The refreshment committee
will gladly receive donations from
one and all From the menu IL will
be seen what is needed. The chair

BIG KNITTING TASK SET
RED CROSS CHAPTERS
Local Women Called Upon to Furn-
ish 100 Knitted Sets for Soldiers
Needs on French Front

The local Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross received a big hur-
ry-up order last week, when re-
quests were received from the di-
rector of the Pacific Coast division
for the immediate mobilization of all
members, non-members and sympa-
thetic volunteers who could knit to
fill an urgent order for 10000
knitted sets, consisting of a sleeve
less sweater, pair of wristlets, a
pair of socks and a muffler. The as
signment for the local chapter is
100 sets, to be delivered. il possible
by October 1st.
A new manual of instructions has
been gotten out and will be sent out
to each chapter in the division as
soon as received from Washington.
In the meantime all chapters are
urged to organize for the work by
learning who can and will either un-
dertake a share of the work or who
will volunteer to teach a class of
knitters. 1t should be understood
Red Cross job, but one in which ev-
eryone, whether a member of the
Chapter or not, is solicited to do
their bit"
oh x.yt1l dc
of yarn, IL ounces for the sweater,
two ounces for the wristlets, ounc-
es for the socks, and 10 ounces for
the muffler. The yarn may be pro-
cured from the headquarters at San
Francisco and will cost about 1920
per pound. The cost to the local
chapter, including needles will be
about $3.50.
Immediately upon receipt of the
order Chairman Kenny appointed
Mrs. E. L. Bingham chairman of a
committee to take the work in hand
and preliminary meeting was held
last Saturday to plan the method of
procedure.
Those who have undertaken the
work realize that they have a big
task set for them, but express con-
fidence that there are enough patri
otic women in the county, If they
can be located, TO finish the job in
the stipulated time. At all events
they are going ahead on the theory
that in the patriotic lexicon of the
Red Cross there is no such word as
cant"
1t is requested that anyone who
can knit or is willing to learn and
will undertake portion of the
work, will call on or address, Mrs.
e. L. Bingham, phone 1903 at as
early a date as possible.
Accompanying the order from the
Director John L. Clymer was a copy
of a telegram from the Red Cross
Commission in France setting forth
the seriousness of the situation in
view of the approach of winter, the
severity of which will be greatly aug
mented by the shortage in the fuel
supply and the exposed position of
"Our Boys" in the trenches. If the
work is to be of any practical value
it must be commenced and finished
Immediately.
1t is not necessary, or even desir-
able, that this work be done at Red
Cross headquarters, and hence any
one who can devote a few minutes a
day at home can be of incalculable
service in this noble work.
Let us hope that the good women
of Churchill county will respond to
this appeal in a manner calculated
to hearten our young men who have
been called to the defense of their
country by demonstrating that those
at home are ever mindful of their
comfort.

PROSPECTS G0OD AT HAYNES
 FUR BIG CROP STRAWBERRIES

Skagway visitors who were in Haines Sunday saw in the making what is expected to be the biggest cron of strawberries ever grown in Alaskas famous strawberry district. The acreage has been somewhat in creased over that Of last year, in preparation for wartime preserves and jams.
 One who has seen the Haines ber- ries, sometimes as big as eight inches in circumference, and smack cd his lips over their delicious fla Yor, can imagine that Tommy At k'ns and the soldiers of Uncle Sam wont need nothing else" should any of this jam ever find it's way to the front.
 When strawberries are mentioned in Haines, the first question put 10 the visitor is, Have you Seen Anyways plaoe?"
 c. V. Anyway Is the dean of the Haines strawberry growers. Some fourteen years ago he got from Jack Dalton at Porcupine the plants from which be started the Lynn canal berry industry. But, as he told the story Sunday, the present variety 's the result of an accident.
 Some six years ago, after a hard winter, Anyway found most of his plants dead. Besides the Porcu- pine berries he had been experi- menting with plants from Hood RiV- CT. The seedlings he found alive that spring are believed to have come from the crossing of the two varieties and are the origin of the present Haines berries.
 Whence the Dalton variety first cane, Anway said he did not know, further than that he was told that they had been grown in Haines by Billie Dickinson, one of the pioneers Of the disrtict.
 MT. Anyways ranch is on the road to Wells, about a mile and a half beyond Haines. Smuggling against the foot of the mountain, its three or four acres of cleared ground are bor' dered on two sides by the thick pine woods. On the side fronting the road is a fine mountain view across Chilkoot inlet.
 Eele MT. Anyway keeps bacherlor quarters, grows strawberries and ap- pies and this year, of course, spuds. Last year from one tree, the sec ond year it bore, he said he picked

1GO fine apples. He now has a few cherry trees with which he is exper- imenting. One of them Is in blos- som. He Is confident a good Alas ka apple will be developed and is optimistic about cherries.
 Though the summer is late this year, the Haines strawberries are now in bloom and some of the ear- ly varieties are expected to be ripe by the Fourth of July.
 Beside Anyway, who has about am acre of berries, other Haines grow CTS are H. A. Gibson, Jack Rath. Tim CreedOn, Sam Nixon, William HOlgate, s. Stride, George Hinch- man, John B. Peterson. MT. Peter son iss also experimenting this year with berries at Burners bay.
