cottage that night feeling that he was
closer to Meta than ever before.
He assayed to trace the origin Of
the poem next day. Taking Gyp with

neared the hide-out Of the tramps he
darted towards II. Erick DOane was
seated under a shady tree, writing.

RED CROSS SHIPS
 GOODS FUR CAUSE

The local chapter of the Red Cross made shipment of goods recently to their headquarters in San Francisco, consisting of 123 knitted garments and 219 hospital garments. The shipment was made under the direction of committee composed of Mrs. E. E. Kirkland, Mrs. Sims Ely and Mrs. Gar ret Schuler, chairman.
 Soldiers kits completed for the month of August total 153 and have all been distributed to the local. boys leaving for training camps. Sixty more kits will have to be completed soon for the boys leaving in September. These could be made at home if taken out in lots of a dozen or more. Material for the kits will be available at the Red Cross office by August .24, and the completed kits should be returned by August 27. :,
 Materials for refugee garments are on hand in sufficient quantities, thel t being only a lack of workers to con- plete the garments. This work can either be done in the Red Cross shops or can be taken home. A quota of 2,500 socks. 500 sweaters and 50 hel- nets has been assigned to Maricopa County so it behooves local knitters to begin work as the quota must be filled by October first. Enough yarn is on hand at the local Red Cross office to supply all workers who apply for the work
