Denounces Chain Letters.

In spite of previous announce
ments that the American Red Cross
does not approve the chain-letter
system of raising money, and that
it has never authorized any chain
letter promoters to use the name of
the Red Cross in any way, letters
of this nature are in circulation and
many copies of them have been for
warded to National Headquarters
for explanation.
The American Red Cross reiter-
ates that no chain-letter project has
its approval. While some of these
schemes may have been started in
good faith, mention of the Red
Cross is not warranted. Red Cross
members, and the public in general,
are warned that there is no assur-
ance that donations in response to
any chain-lettcrs will reach the Red
Cross treasury, and are urged to
pay no attention to such appeals,
whose sincerity is always omen to
doubt.
Aid to the American Red Cross
should always be furnished through
recognized channels, if the doner
wishes to be assured that his gift is
to reach the object intended.

er and all feel repaid for the effort,
This money will help meet the ex-
pense of the 2nd. so lbs. of yarn
for soldiers outfits.
The Chapter extends its thanks
to Mr.. Hackworth for his generosi-
ty in furnishing his store room for
the supper.

Hog Killing Weather.

We had some real cold Novem-
Der weather Friday, Saturday and
well into the first of this week. 1t
affored most excellent time to
kill hogs, and many did take adj
vantage of the occasion and butch
cred them. No fat hogs should be
shipped from home to kill when
there is a home market for all the
cured meat they will make. 1t saves
the freight both ways, and gives the
profit to the farmer who should
have it.
