as many as five hundred, and had
succeeded, so far, in collecting thirty.
With the news that upwards of a
thousand boxes will be expected of
them (and they are determined not to
fail the national society in this or any
other request), comes the necessity OF
making plans 10 IurnlSh the nuhper

The board meeting of the society
will be held Wednesday. when ar
engagements will be-made to rush the
work for the boxes. Each box will
cost between dollar and a dollar
and a half. Every one who can do
so, is asked to furnish one or more
boxes complete, and from those who
cannot give the amount for the entire
box, a contribution of part of the
cost is asked. Sums as small as
nickels and dimes will be welcomed
and it is suggested that all the school
children give a penny each.
Contributions may be left at the
Red Cross work rooms, and anyone
who can assist in any way is asked to
call Mrs. Alvarado NJ. Fuller, of Van
