CARNIVAL NETS
LARGE SUM FOR
THE RED CROSS
Report of Treasurer Shows That the
Receipts Exceed Six Hundred
Dollars.

There is much elation in Red Cross
circles as the result of the success
of the carnival which was held at
the Lescure store last week under
the auspices of the local branch of
the Red Cross society. AS previously
announced, the receipts were ST.
002.S0, to which later was added a
donation of IS, making a total of
$1,027.80, gross. The expenses,
which include the cost of goods sold
on commission, were $357.75, leav-
ing net balance for the Red Cross
of $670.05. This is regarded as an
especially good showing, in view of
the fact that the town was partially
under water at the time the carnival
was held, and many residents were
prevented from attending.
The ladies are very grateful to
Mr.. Paul Lescure, whose offer of
the use of his store, made the car
nival possible. Mr.. Lescure prac-
tically vacated the place during the
three days that the ladies were there,
turning the store over to them, as
we'll as bowling alleys, shooting gal
lery and other features which con-
tributed largely to the success of the
undertaking.
The ladies in charge of the affair,
all of whom worked hard to insure
it's success, were as follows: Mes
danes Schaeffer, Ellenson, More, M.
E. Smith, Love, Cooney, Craig,
Flower, Landwehr, Slippern, Law
renee, Schmidt, Southworth, Old

Misses Queenie Russell, Thora Slip
perm, Elizabeth Foster, Liverson,

vented number from being present.
The ladies received valuable assist
ance from the boys of Co. B, from
Mr.. Vachon, of the Lescure store,
from Mr.. Flower and others, who
helped arrange the decorations and
in clearing the store after the car
nival. The materials for the soft
drinks were donated by Mr.. Max
Smith, and tie ingredients Tor the
ice cream were supplied by numerous
ladies Of the town. And the bust
nessmen supplied the carnival with
goods at cost, TO be ;iSed as prizes
for the wheel Of fortune.
The winners of the prizes returned
them to the ladies to be disposed of
again, and in that way made It pcs
sible for the receipts to be sHe'lcd
to a considerable extent. Among
those who assisted in this manner
were: August Johnson, Mrs. M. E.
Smith, John DENIS, Knuc Holland,
]. H. Flower, M. Boulais, VIM. Papa
dupolas, Frank Carey, Theo, Thomp-
son, Mrs. Waechter and Mr.. John
son. ...-. IT,. r.. -

and DR.. j. H. Bowen brought in
substantial sums through the medium
of auction sales, and paddles, which
also helped materially to swell the
receipts, were provided by Mr.. W. I.
Packer. The large attractive Red
Cross sign, which hangs from wire
stretched between the Arctic and the
Cooney hotel, and which signifies
when there is something doing in
the Red Cross line, was generously
by Anderson Bros &
Nerland and the firm of Cooney &
Cooney donated a quantity of to-
bacco. Assistance, in various forms,
was received from many others, to
all of whom the Red Cross ladies
are very grateful.
