The Wabasso Standard of last
week states that the report that went
out that the Wabasso Red Cross auc-
tion sale totaled in the neighborhood
of $1,000 was a mistake. The re-
ceipts from several sources had been
estimated too high before the affair
was settled up. The receipts from
the auction, raffies. dinner, dance,
| etc, amounted to S3, ,53S and at an
evening meeting subscriptions were
taken up amounting to $1,170.55. The
| fact that the people of Wabasso
| community "dug up" SO handsomely
Fafter their sale is very much to their
credit The total receipts, there
fore, after paying for the automo-
bile fell below Morgan's, by something
over Morgan Messenger.
WANTED TO BUY:-Good cooking
potatoes. Call Gallea Bros, IS.
