GERMAN SOCIETY DONATES
TO RED CROSS.

The German-American So
ciety Of Power county has
again demonstrated its patriot
ism by making a donation to
the local Red Cross chapter Of
all the money in its treasury,
amounting to $685.. The So
ciety was organized about a
year and a half ago for social
purposes, and had large
membership. It was planned
to hold annual picnics, and one
largely attended picnic was
held at Warm Springs in 1916.
The society remained active un-
til relations between this
country and Germany became
strained. Feeling that its mo-
tives might be questioned the
members voted TO discontinue
the holding of meetings The
money donated to the Red
Cross, which came in the form
of a check signed by 5. Z.
Kramlich, was what remained
in the treasury when the hold
ing of meetings was discOn-
tinued. The members Of the
society subscribed literally for
the first issue Of Liberty Loan
Bonds and are well represented
in the second issue.
