RED GROSS ACTIVITIES

The local Red Cross chapter,
 with the advent of chilly days
 and the recent suggestions of snow, is taking on increased ac- tivity as the women of Williams realize the growing necessity for warm clothing for Uncle Sam's soldiers and sailors.
 Two meetings a week are now being held at the Reading Room, every Wednesday and Friday afternoon, at which ev- eryone in town who can knit or wishes to learn, should be pres ent. The materials used are furnished by the Red Cross to the experienced workers, and the beginners furnish their own cotton yarn and start on much needed tho less difficult wash clothes. The class has grown to quite a size and it is hoped that larger quarters will be- come a necessity in the near fu- ture. This is the inevitable outcome, as more and more the ladies in town feel that their cooperation in this work is act ually needed. In fact, they may consider themselves drafted for the help they may give. Ev- eryone is requested to attend the Red Cross meetings without waiting for a personal invita- tion from any of those now do- ing their "bit''. A box was shipped this, week containing complete sets of knitted arti- cles.
 The ladies are trying to buy a knitting machine for knitting socks. These may be had for $2O and at present $9 have been subscribed. Further do- nations would be joyfully re- ceived, especially if the men would become interested and give their money in lieu of learning to knit. The machine will knit l pair of socks per hour where two most experien- ced local knitters say it takes them 2 days per pair, doing it by hand.
 A class of the teachers has been formed for surgical dress ings work.

RACKET STURE RUBBED

The Racket Store was broken into and the safe blown open at 6 o'clock last Friday morning. Mrs. Matthews heard the ex- plosion and rushed into the store and unexpectedly discov- cred the burglar. Hastily re- treating, she gave MT. Ma thews warning and he fired four shots at the man, none of which took effect, the intruder escaping with several hundred dollars worth of jewelry. A small portion of the loot was recovered later in the day, but no clue to the identity of the robber was discovered. A num- Der of transients, beggars and tramps who had been in town disappeared immediately after the trouble.

COUNCIL BUYS
 GOLDF|ELD PLANT
Shipment to Be Made at Once :. Materials for Foundation and | Engine Room Being Rushed
 Should Be in Operation in
 Thirty Days or Less

At a meeting of the Town Council held Wednesday night, it was decided to purchase the practically new plant at Gold field, Idaho. A telegram was dispatched at once to MT. Stov- CT who has been testing out the plant and who highly recom- mends it, to make the purchase and prepare the plant for ship ment at once. The telegram al- so asked MT. Slower to give the dimensions of the room that will be required to house the plant, and the size of the bases that will be, needed for the machinery, in order that mater ials for these may be procured and placed on the ground awaiting the arrival of the plant.
 If the present weather holds, or if only light storms are ex- perienced during the next four weeks, the plant should be in operation within thirty days.
 The council is to be com mended upon having taken this decisive action that will provide the town with badly needed electric service in the shortest possible time and at reasonable cost. Again they have proven that they are worthy of the trust that the people have plac- ed in them.

intellectual Depre s si 0 n Among Children Due to Insufficient
 Food.

ROME. Sept. S.-Reports are reach ing the Vatican from diplomatic and ecclesiastical sources in Austria that he food shortage throughout the empire has become so serious that he effects of malnutrition among he people are causing the utmost concern. The intellectual depression among the school children due to insufficient food is rendering it prac tically useless for them to continue heir studies and it is probable he schools will have to be closed ,oon.
 As an instance of the high prices 'or foodstuffs. 1t is said, sack of flour costs $40 and pound of pork B. Fat is very scarce, and less han a pound in fifteen days is al lowed for each person. Owing to the lack of starch, nuns have been all horized to wear soft head dresses md hoods.
 The remedies so far adopted have proven useless. All the food avail ible is reserved for the army, and l general famine seems inevitable.
