need the protection from the cold sea
fogs. Remember it casts $1.00 to be
a member of the Red Cross, but it
costs nothing to be a volunteer work.
er. Cannot every woman in Glasgow
be a member or a volunteer or both?
A patriotic movement has been in
a%ugurated by the residents of the
south bench and of the north bench.
They will hold two market days when
they will bring in their products to be
sold for the Red Cross. A chicken,
some eggs, a roll of butter, a bottle
of cream, a bushel of wheat, some po-
tatoes or other vegetables, or any
other fresh farm product will be very
acceptable and the Glasgow house
wives will be glad to purchase any
thing that is brought in. The date
for the south bench sale will be a
week from Saturday, September 8.
The date of the north bench market
day will be Saturday, September Is.
Remember these dates and be on hand
ready to edo your bit" The place
of the sale has not yet been decided
on, but will be announced later.
Mrs. D. S. Williams has turned in
to the Red Cross chapter, a pair of
knitted sox, and is busily at work
on the second pair. Mrs. Williams
is also on the knitting committee and
anyone desiring information about
this important department is asked
to confer with her.
The box of completed garments is
rapidly being filled and before long
will be sent on it's errand of mercy.
The ladies who have helped in filling
this box are entitled to a great deal
of credit for they have been few. The
old saying "Many hands make light
work" was never truer than new when
work" was never truer than now when
that the second box will be filled more
rapidly and through the cooperation
of many more women.
The goodly sum of $71.Q0 has been
deposited to the credit of the local
Red Cross by the Tampico people who

August 18. Their work is very much
appreciated and thanks is extended to
! the young people who arranged it, to
5 the musicians who contributed great
2 ly to the success and pleasure of the
evening, and to all who attended and
helped to swell the sum for the noble
cause. This sum will go far toward
: purchasing much needed materials.
