Grattan Grange

Up to the present time the war has
been going on with very little help
from Grattan, but last Thursday even
ing Grattan Grange woke up and
struck blow at the kaiser that will
oblige him to add another submarine
to catch up. They gave box social
and fifty-three boxes were sold at auc-
ton by Tom Bookey, bringing the
grand total Of $4,000; one box went
over the tip at $3.50. Several who
were unable to be present sent their
money in later and something over
$4,000 will be sent at once to the
Y. M. c. A.
A good program was given, the adj
dress by Rev. Ellis, being especially
fine, surely everyone went home with
better understanding of the Y. M.
G: A. and deeper love for dear "Old
Glory"
Arrangements were also made to
take up Red Cross work. The Grange
will open their hall for the work and
ell ladies are welcome.
The next meeting Of the Grange
will b Inhalation 81 o0Icrrn. VIII =
