Red Gro. Beneii. Sale.

The sale held in Dolores Friday for
the benefit of the Dolores branch of
the Red Cross was q success in every
particular. About two hundred and
seventy-five persons contributed to
this sale, either articles to be sold or
cash. There were 30 many things
brought in Friday morninr .'st it was
impossible to sell them IN one ds y
so another sale was =. Saturday
dispose Of what was left over.
Every one knew that the money was
all to 60 to provide comfort for the
soldier boys. SO no one was trying to
drive bargain or caring much what .
thing cost. The usual good-natured.
don't-care spirit of tho prosperous
cattlemen, farmers and businessmen
of this town and vicinity was in evil
dence everywhere. and the genial
auctioneers, l. E. Padgett and J. E.
= Franklin, had to go some to keep up
with the bidding.
A boy came along who had only a
nickel but he wanted to give it to the
Red Cross. The auctioneer asked for
bids on the nickel and it was sold for
$l.35. One man told the solicitor that
he had nothing to give but dog and
two pups. The solicitor told him to
bring them on. The pups sold for
SIS. 90 each, but no one wanted the
mother and she was turned loose. w.
l. Myler bought Hobo Jim for SIG. 90.
but learning that he had no use for
such . refined dog he put him on sale
again and DR.. Lefurgey bought him in
for $500. Some of the rabbits were
sold several times. bringing good prices
each time. Four frying chickens,
donated by Miss Basiger, created an
appetite for delicacies in C. H. Rash
and and J. L. Trimble; Mr.. Trimble
eats the chickens at $3.50. Frank
Ritter bought the U. s. flag donated by
Mrs. Ordway for $500 and will donate
it to the Lakevista school. These are
just few samples, there are many
others that could be mentioned. A
few things sold for less than their
real value but most everything bought
all it was worth and more.
The pleasure of seeing the other
fellow pay good and plenty for what he
bought left some of our pleasure loving
sports with possessions they had no
use for; but then the fun was worth
all 1t cost. s.susss7s -. s--7s.sq ,~,s,.----s-
Charles Johnson collected apurse Of
over $500 for bucking contest. The
contest was pulled off and the money
placed in the Red Cross fund. =
The success of the sale was due to
the tireless work of the soliciting COM
mittee and the ready response of those
solicited. Not only did the committee
give much time in soliciting, but. they
were on hand the day of the sale and
spent their money freely so that things
might bring what they were worth.
