Red Cross Notes .

A Basket Social was given at Hull
N. D., Friday last, for the benefit
of the Red Cross.
Mr.. Graham, Spanish war veteran
spoke on personal Red Cross exper-
fences. Mr.. Graham is an excellent
speaker and inspired his audience
with his lecture.
One feature of the evening was q
beauty basket which sold at $21 90.
The total sum raised was $40. so.
This clearly shows that the people
of Hull are indeed entering upon Red
Cross activities with enthusiasm.
Mr.. Graham will again speak at
Hull Thursday next, at which time
Mr.. Cameron, Of Linton, will also de-
liver talk on Red Cross work. At
this time Hull will formally organize
a Red Cross branch. Everybody is
cordially invited to attend.
