Red Cross sale, and with the COM

on all the details of the big program,

any public venture in the entire his

Rain or shine, hail or hurricane,
the sale will be held as scheduled, out
of doors at the corner of Third and
Main streets, and nothing that the
elements may decide to do will
dampen the ardor or chill the enthu-
siasm of the thousands of loyal and
patriotic bidders at the mammoth
Red Cross auction. In fact, if rain
should come, so grateful would the
entire community be that thousands
would cheerfully take thorough
soaking for the good the moisture

Real al ucky Bones

One Of the most precious posses
sions Of an officer in England, and one
which excited much curiosity during q
recent short leave, is an ordinary wish
bone which he has had mounted In gold
and carries about with him as mas
cot, it having already, he AYERS, once
saved his life.
1t appears that while near the front
line In France he was enjoying a rare
meal Of doubtful chicken with a couple
of brother officers, and was just about
to try conclusions with the wishbone
with his opposite comrade when IL
slipped from his plate and dropped
under the heavy oak table the three
had managed to secure from a ruined
farmhouse for their barn billet. No
sooner had the Birmingham man got
under the table to grope for the bone
than the barn was reduced to debris
by a couple of direct hits frep1 enemy
airplanes.
The other two officers were killed
outright, but the stout table saved the
third from any material injury. The
wishbone was firmly clasped In his
right hand when he was dug cut Of the
ruins.

Iii Profteers In Meat.

Queensland, New South Wales, has
found a way to get cheap meat. Its
policy, inaugurated by the Queensland
labor government in November, 1915,
is now past the experimental stage and
working well. Convinced that exploit
tation was going on con grand scale, !"
and finding every attempt at price re
striction met with bitter complaints
from dealers, the government decided
to test the situation itself, and set up
state butcher shops. After two years
and a half of operation, reports the
staff correspondent Of the Montreal
Star at Queensland, the price of meat,
which had increased 100 per cent in
war time, under private control has
been brought down ''to figure equal
to what it was before the war, plus
difference due to legitimate causes.

cents q pound when the first state
