rubbish and cleaned things up in fine
shape. It certainly made a great i'm
provement in the appearance Of the
place.
The w. A. r. club had weiner roast
out in the woods near Lake fremont
on Tuesday evening Of last week and
it was some roast. Had you been out
side a building anywhere within a
mile you could have heard shouts of
merriment and smelled those weiners
and coffee There was an abundant
supply Of fine sandwiches and each
lady was allowed the privilege of
roasting as many weineraas she could
eat or get her elbow neighbor to dis
pose of. The evening was ideal for
! the occasion, quiet, with bright moon
light, with just enough snap and crisp
ness in the air to give one keen
appetite for hot coffee, while the
cracking of the burning twigs and
bright flames gave a feeling of real
comfort. The members expect to have
their suits soon and will be out on
full dress parade. The club extends
thanks to Herman Stendahl for furn-
ishing spits to use for roasting
weinefs.

If anyone has doubted the patriotism
of our citizens they should have been
at the Red Cross sale last Friday and
witnessed how generous they were in
Offering bids after having donated
large amounts toward making the sale
success. Here and there were groups
Of men buying and rebuying articles
offered for sale. AS long as it was
for the Red Cross and would eventual
ly aid in downing Kaiser Bill they
seemed to care nothing about the
price, thereby proving their loyalty to
the cause. The fancy work donated
is worthy of special mention, being >of
a splendid variety, beautifully dis
played, and sold for a good price. In
fact everything sold we'll, so we'll that
Zimmerman feels justly proud of the
showing made, as the crowd was not
nearly so large as expected owing, no
doubt, to the fact that great number
Of farmers were in the fields. The pro-
ceeds from the sale, including bas-
kets, Melted $836.36.
The Red Cross ladies encountered
quite a difficulty last week in not be-
ing able to enter the church. It APP
pears that the key had been left with
someone who was out of town that
day, and the ladies were seriously
handicapped for a while. However
one brave member decided she could
effect an entrance through the window,
which isn't more than five feet from
the ground. By the united efforts of
several others she ably accomplished
the feat, although it did require some
hosting, as Mrs. Foley is not a light
weight. Possibly the fact that she is
a member of the w. A. R. club and has
been doing some hiking had something
to do with the agility displayed in
that undertaking.
