the home of John Carpenter.
The Red Cross greatly appreciates
the generosity of Mr.. Doe and the

Der for tables, and slab wood and of
Mr.. Aiken and others who are going
\ to draw the wood and move the be
llongings of the Red Cross to the

/ sympathetic people there are IN Iras-
burg and elsewhere, who are so ready
to give money or time or even them
selves for the church or nation. And

their natures. We must live with
them but it isn't easy.
Three more boxes are to be shipped
to Boston this week, two of hospital
lsupplies and one of dressings.
