organized in the four south townships

have been proven false and without the

eleven o'clock Chairman R. r Peddicord
Of the second Red Cross drive reported
that Hobart had given half as much
again to the Red Cross the second
time as was necessary.
The town has contributed $500 and
its quota was only $1,000. As Hobart is
only a small place and furnishes Gary's

one that delights its patriotic business
