The Winneshiek County Red
Cross Pig Club is growing ih leaps
and bounds and by the looks of the
large number of pigs already do
mated fair sized train-load will go
out of Winneshiek county next De-
cember to the Chicago markets.
The farmers and town folks are re-
spending in fine shape. Solicitors
have been appointed in practically
all the townships and in a short
! time now the names of all who give
a pig to this worthy cause will be
known and printed.
Just before going to press today
1 Treasurer Bear brought us great
list from Calmar and Sprin ngfield
twp. The town of Calmar and the
east half OF Calmar township sent in
81 names, and School Districts No
"A and and all of Sec. 33, of
Springfield township sent in "a
names, making a total of S5 pigs
given, which is certainly great for
! those communities. The names will
be published in our next issue.
The idea of the club is simply
| that whoever wishes to can give a
/ pig, feed it the rest of the summer
and fall, and then deliver it to De-
corah to a committee who will re-
ceipt for it and see that all pigs
are shipped to market and sold.
All proceeds to go to the Red Cross.
Below will be found the names Of
those who have already donated
Spigs.
