ABILENE SENT CHRISTMAS
BOXES TO BOYS IN FRANCE

The local Red Cross has shipped
over 200 Christmas packages to St
Louis, and from there they will be
sent to the American boys in France.
The local chapter intends to send
more later to the boys in the United
States. Company H at Camp Doni-
phan will not be forgotten. Anyone
wishing to send a package to any of
cur soldiers may notify either Mrs.
G. A. Case or Mrs. R. B. Gemmill
The Salina Red Cross chapter fear
ed that Abilene would not send any
Christmas packages to France and
had 1t all figured out that she would
be responsible for $50 packages. Abb
lene has shipped that many and in
comparison to the population of the
two towns has sent again as many as
Salina. Today was the last day that
Christmas boxes could be sent to the
boys In France and reach in time.

when he rounded the corner on South
Buckeye avenue. Gary was driving
the car at fairly good clip and had
six passengers besides himself, four
girls and two boys, He was going
south on Buckeye and started to take
the curve where the road turns. The
two front wheels were torn off and
the car rolled into the ditch to the

farther, it, with the occupants, would
have been thrown into the creek from
a steep bank None of the occupants
received severe bruises or was in

This amount was given to Mrs. G.

as he wished and the apportionment
was as follows: Seniors, $17; jun
Tors, $1l.15; sophomores, $16.65;
freshmen, $15.15.

ABILENE TO GIVE $3.50 TO
THE DENTAL AMBULANCES

At meeting of the Abilene den
lists last evening, it was decided tina
the $3.50 for the dental ambulances
would be raised The purpose Of
these ambulances is to take care OF
the soldiers teeth at the training
camps and after they go to France
Fifty of these ambulances are being
formed and each will cost $4,000, OF
total of 900.
At first the Abilene dentists in
tended to give the money themselves,
but will not do so until DR.. B. E.
Kelly, who is going to Kansas City,
looks the matter up. 1t may be that
the money is to be collected by states
and II this is true, the Abilene dem
lists wish the money to go to the
state before it goes to the headquar-
tiers at Kansas City If enough
money is raised in the Y M. G. A.
it is probable that this
money will be taken from that fund.

acre OF ground ever since we have

we're caught They received a SEN
tence of fifteen days confinement and
$40 fine each. ! didn't happen to be
one of them, however.
This certainly is a tough coun-
try, dusty most Of the time. 1t is
quite warm now We don't receive
good eats here and if it weren't for
some boys that go to the canteens
ard buy stuff for us, we would be
pretty hungry all the time. There
