 But there's a wiser way 10 argue. We have long since established the custom of clearing out our stock at the end of the season. It gives us space for bright, new goods, it furnishes the capital to buy them.

BACKING UP THE
BOYS OVER THERE
-W.S.S.-

The Red Cross Auction Sale last Sat
urday resulted in turning into the 10
cal Red Cross treasury s3375.35. When
our boys "Over There" hear OF it they
will feel a thrill of pride in the old town
for they will know. that they have not
been forgotten by the folks at home.
Among the notable sales of the day
was the Red Cross Quilt which brought
$4,000 and a Red Cross cake which
sold for s1S.
This auction was in charge of the
finance committee of the Red Cross
and they and their faithful assistants
surely deserve great credit for the
work
The sale was held on the court house
lawn. Early in the morning things
began to arrive and by the time the
sale opened at eleven o'clock, the front
part of the lawn and the entire street
in front, looked like a county fair
ground ready for an exhibit. Every
thing imaginable had been contributed
for the sale and most of it sold at good
figures.
Auctioneers Mccoy of Gooding, and
Clayton. of Jerome, donated their SER
vices for the occasion and their skill
and abilities as masters of their oc-
cupation was more than demonstrated
by the results. Shoshone people wish
to express their appreciation of the SER
vices of these two gentlemen. Bert
Bowler, Archie Bowler, Ernest Gwin
and Fred Gwin donated their services
for the day as clerks and they also
earned the thanks of the community
for the excellent manner In which they
performed their duties.
Those who have not yet settled with
the committee for their purchases at
the Red Cross sale Saturday are re-
quested to call at once at the First Ma
tional Bank and settle with ". H. Muir
ply.
