MANY LATE FOR
SUNDAY SERVICES

Except for some amusing incidents.
the act Of setting Hood River clocks an
hour ahead Saturday night passed off
without a furry. The rule was ob,
served by most all families. Some.
however, failed in the preeaution. and
a number Of families arrived at church
Sunday morning only in time TO hear
the benediction. Some made the mis-
take of turning the clock back an hour.
The saving of daylight hours is
greatly appreciated by merchants of
the city and their clerical forces, who
declare they will apply the saving in
increasing war gardens.

of the garments was 1919 pounds.
During the month of October Is napkins,

out. In November 1890 pounds of
excellent garments were collected and
were sent to the northern Minnesota

From the report Of Mrs. F. w. John

aph records which were sent to the boys
at Camp Dodge.
The total membership at the end of
the year was 1893. Out of 80 rural
schools in this part Of the county 90
had become affiliated with the Junior
Red Cross work. The treasury showed
a cash balance on hand amounting to
$46.9O Nov. 80.
Home Relief Service.
One Of the most important branches
of the local Chapter is the Home Relief
service section of which Adolph Meile
is chairman. The work of this COM
ittee has been very far reaching and.
Mr.. Meile stated that during the past
year they were able to straighten out
afeW cases where the allottments and
allowances for dependents of soldiers
had not been Forthcoming or had been
inadequate. The Home Service also
interested themselves in behalf of rela-
tives who had not heard from the soldier
boys abroad and succeeded in a great
number of instances in establishing
lines of communication. Also thru this
section it was made possible for people
residing here to receive word fro-i rela-
tives residing in alien enemy countries.
It also appeared that 25 women within
the jurisdiction of the local chapter had
filed out the questionaires for nurses.
1t was at this time that DR.. Stricken
called attention to the fact, that there
was dearth of nurses and that because
the requirements were not so stringent
as they used to be, there was afforded
an excellent opportunity for those who
decided to take up the profession. He
suggested to the people in the local
chapter to do every thing in their power
to assist in the matter of securing nurses.
DR.. Rev G. G. Holm, who is county
chairman of the Red Cross drive which
was started a week ago Monday, re-
ported that the work was progressing
very satisfactorily and that more than
1000 had signed up in New Ulm since
the drive had been inaugurated. From
the reports so far received from the rural
districts very satisfactory work is being
done there also and from present in
dications it would appear that the drive
will net nearly 1000 members.
A committee on nominations consist
ing of H. L. Beecher, Rev. C. G. Helm,
and Herman Held, reported the following
names and they were by unanimous
vote elected as the executive committee
of the local Chapter for the ensuing year:

Talking with his sister-in-law over
the telephone always annoyed Mr..
Brainard, but he was considerable
person and it occurred to him that she
might be waiting for these articles of
adornment. After a few minutes con-
versation he hung up the receiver.
They were not Grace's things, and the
only suggestion she had to offer was
that he find himself a wife to wear
them.
Mr. Brainard was annoyed. He was
always wishing for something to break
the monotony of his existence, but
now that the something had turned up
in the shape of this feminine war paint
he was vexed. AS he frowned down
upon the offending garments his eye
was caught by a small black leather
bag that lay half hidden by spangled
scarf What's this, Louis, did 1t come

Mr.. Brainard decided. "Repack the
