year Curley Brown spent $4,000 to

and Brown split the gate receipts

his track and expressed a willingness
to resume the ball games, the players

RED CROSS NOTES

The Kimberly schools have prom
ised to fill fifty comfort pillows and
to do this we must have every scrap
of soft cotton, linen or wooden goods
that can be secured to cut into bits
for a filling. These pillows are nee
essary in the ambulances.
The sewing classes have made one
dozen bed shirts and they are now
planning to make at least one lay
cite.
The layettes must include wooden
shirts, which are very dear at pres
ent, so they are making these shirts
from wooden underwear if enough can
be given. Won't you look through
your worn suits and send us what
you can spare?
Last year we turned in two dozen
wash rags and eight pairs of bootees.
