make you a nice profit and you
will be repaid for your work.
But three boys will win prizes
and no one can tell which boy
will be the one to win. 1t will
depend on how good a pig you
can select to start with and how
we'll and carefully you feed him
and keep your records.
Il. F. Clayton has been selected
as the leader for the club and will
do all he can to help every mem
Der. The Agricultural College
will send monthly lessons. A
club room for the boys to meet in
will be provided. The meetings
will be planned so that the boys
when they meet will have a good
time.
Any boy between 10 and 1s
years who wishes to become a
member of this Pig Club can do
so by seeing any of the follow.
ing: f. F. Clayton, the leader;
either of the two banks at Jules
burg, or R. J. Dobell, secretary of
the Julesburg Commercial Club.
No boy need hesitate about
entering the contest because he
has no pig or because he cannot
get one good enough. Each boy
will be personally helped if he
desires in the selection of a pig
that will feed well. If he needs
money to buy pig, either of the
banks will arrange to loan him
money.
The first step however is to get
members and then to have them
meet and organize. After that
the matter of getting started on
the pig feeding will be taken up
and every boy who is willing and
in earnest will be helped if neces.
sary, so that no boy need hold
back?
Boys wishing to join should
see some of the above persons
right away aAthe feeding of the
pig should commence about the
first of May.

Sale of Doll Clothes

A sale of doll clothes and candy will be held at the city hall Fri day (tomorrow) afternoon for the benefit of the Red Cross. Tea and chocolate with the prop. CT accompaniments will be served from 3 to 5 for the sum of 15c, and it is hoped that as many of the people of Wrangell as possible will patronize the affair.
 The idea for this sale originat- ed in the fertile brain of one of a group of children playing to. gether one day last summer. The regular games had failed to inter lest and the suggestion Let's have-a sale and give the money to the Red Cross" was made and instantly approved by the rest. Gathering up such articles as were available on short notice, a stand was arranged immediately outside of the home of one of the children and a few things sold. The idea grew, and it was decided to hold a regular sale at some later time. With this end in view, the sympathy and ser vices of Mrs. Oscar Carlson were enlisted by the children and a pile of dainty doll clothes was evolved by that efficient lady from the scraps of material that came from everywhere. Inter- ested friends have promised candy and refreshments and the mothers of the little girls will give their assistance in a general way. Patronize the sale and help the Red Cross.

Do you want to have part in this? Come with your offering. It will make some one glad, if they never know the giver.

SCHOOL NOTES

The upper grades and High School are reading and studying an address on Prussianized Ger many delivered by Otto Kahn, a German American. It contains great deal of American senti- ment, is a fine example of Ameri- can diction and sets forth clearly the motives which compelled the United States to enter the war.
 The school received last week from the Commissioner of Educa- tion copies of the song Loyalty is the Word Today.' This song has been adopted by forty-two states and Alaska as a song for the public schools.

RED + CROSS NOTES

The war Council of the Ameri- can Red Cross is in receipt of the following statement from Secre- tary of War Baker and Secretary of Navy Daniels.
 Secretary Baker and Secretary Daniels wish the people of the country to know that under no circumstances do they want to discourage our good women from knitting or otherwise voluntarily providing through the Red Cross for our sailors and soldiers.
 On the contrary both Secretary Baker and Secretary Daniels wish it clearly understood that they greatly appreciate all the volun- tary efforts that are being made through the Red Cross to bring comfort to our fighting men, and thank the women of our country for this patriotic work. They request the newspapers to give the widest publicity to this ex- pression.
