The lands are appraised at prices

the timber on each tract alone is suf-

The local association, which has Tor

also successfully given a benefit enter
tainment at the Orpheum and held
several teas that netted sums supply
ing large amount Of raw material

The association calls attention to
the fact that an average Of 10000
dressings daily are sent out from the
distributing center in Paris to 1888
hospitals, and more hospitals are being
added to the list every day. The Paris
center is depending upon America for
one-third OF the above mentioned sup

other war relief associations feel that
they are improving the situation which
will soon face our own American SOL
diers, as we'll as responding to the ter
rible need of aid for the wounded of
every European nation involved. Re-
cent bulletins from the Paris distribut-
ing center note that sometimes as
many as 10000 wounded are brought in
to the hospitals which 1t supplies, as
the result of only a single battle.
