during the past several months, as
| is also true of other cities. Since
our country has entered into the war
the social side of life has become quiet
ings Red Cross work has been eX-
tensively taken up. During the sum-
mer months the women and girls of
our city have been knitting for the
soldiers and doing other work for
the benefit of those who have gone
to give their lives if necessary How
ever, with the coming of the fall sea-
son, the Ladies' Aid societies and mis-
sionary societies and other societies of
n
| again, and planning work for the COM
ing winter months. 1t is most prob
able that a great deal or time will pe
spent in continuing the Red Cross
work, which has been so conscien-
tiously carried on by our women and
girls during the summer.
