The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1918-03-22

Glen district, which stretches for
miles around. The building, itself is
an old blacksmith shop, distressing1y
we'll ventilated when the wind blows.
Last night we held our first Red
Cross event within it's weather-beaten
walls. One lone English sparrow ven
tured back into his habitual sleeping
quarters and viewed the fun from re-
spectful distance in the loft. 1t was
fun too, this auction sale. We sold
everything from a baby's bib to bag,
and when the accounting time came,
we found we had taken in sos from
the sale alone. In spite of the fact
that nearly every woman brought
lunch for two, we Red Cross nurses"
behind the "eat" counter did such
rushing business that we had to call
upon college graduate for first aid
in handling the steady stream of cash
which flowed in upon us. Coffee, sand
wiches, cake, punch and popcorn ball
Ql donated) netted us over $26 The
school children gave a nice little pro-
gram of music, reciataions and tab
leaus, and of course the whole affair
ended up in a rather amusing dance.
Last, but not least, is our Red Cross
quilt Perhaps you will be Interested
in the idea There are to be hum
orfh ,f
cred upon it in outline, then when it
is all pieced and quilted we intend to
auction it off to the highest bidder
as an interesting heirloom
We made a miniature copy of it on
large white sheet of paper, and col
ored it with crayons just as the fin
ished article will appear. The quilt
consists of red crosses upon white
background, with true blue" border
surrounding all. We placed our copy
upon the candy in the show case
where everyone could see and med
itate upon it before spending perfect
ly good money for scarce sugar. That
was only Thursday. By the time our
sdoings" was over Saturday night we
had taken in SIS for our quilt in cash
and subscriptions. So you see we
aren't slow. Neither are we espec
tally prosperous, but we don't stop to
consider that, when our money is go
ing into such a good cause as the Red
hac ~ q G
that we don't ask anybody for money.
We Just explain the mysteries OF the
quilt and "kerplunk" comes a dollar
down upon the counter. or best of all,
a five-dollar greenback. We have
50-cent and 35-cent crosses to sell al
so. but not a 35-cent one has been
taken. and only four 50-cent ones SO
far. and we have already raised three
fourths of the amount. Dollar domn-
ations seem to be the favorite. In
fact we have already taken in more
dollar pieces than we have dollar
crosses to sell, SO it looks as though
somebody would have to design that
mill all over again and turn every
35-center into an eagle. Are you ask
ing. "Was that somebody your 1t
was-and is. But although there has
been much midnight oil burnt in this
little homestead shanty of mine, and
many blunderings and mistakes made
IN its execution, the finished product
IS not SO bad to look upon, and every
