GENEROUS RESPONSE
TO CLOTHING CALL
Tide Of Garments For Belgians
Flowed Steadily In For
Work Of Relief
IA BOXES; 2 BBLs. SHOES

Annapolis has never shown greater
interest nor responded more heartily
to any appeal than it did in the re-
cent Red Cross drive to collect cloth
ing for the Belgians. and no workers
have ever been more faithful than
the committee appointed to solicit the
things or the motor messengers who
day after day brought in their cargo.
From the time the doors at Red
Cross headquarters opened on the
morning of Monday, September 23.
until late in the afternoon of Monday,
the 3Oth, the tide of incoming gar
ments rose and rose until the MEM
bers of the committee who were there
day after day to receive and sort and
pack almost cried for help. But they
were more glad than they could ex-
press TO have it so.
Money as well as clothing was Civ
en-, and through the generosity of the
local merchants many useful things
were purchased at small cost.
Thirty large Red Cross packing
cases containing clothing were shipp-
ed, also two barrels of clothes, and
fourteen boxes and two barrels of
shoes; all the clothes were strong,
serviceable, and in good condition
while some of the shoes We're prac-
tically new.
The chairman and committee for
the work extend their thanks to all
who so generously responded to the
appeal, and particularly want to thank
the members of the County Auxiliar-
les, who accomplished so much on
such unayoidably short notice.

CHOPS 6,2o7 CORDS OF WOOD
Wisconsin Man Did It in Thirty Years
Work and Claims a
Record.

Clinton, visa record in wood
chopping is claimed by l.. ]. Haugen,
fifty years old, who lives near this
place. Up to the opening of the pres
ent numbering season he chopped 6,207
cords.
He is a Norwegian. During the sum
mer he works for farmers about the
county, but as soon as the first signs
Of winter are apparent he shoulders
his ak and starts for the timber land.
He figures his chopping career from
the time he was twenty, since which
he has averaged two cords a day dur
ing the chopping season.
The following statistics inevitably
follow: If 6,207 cords were placed end
to end they would extend nearly nine
and one-half miles. If piles one on top
OF another they would be more than
four miles high. At present prices that
wood is worth $4,000

tain that Idaho will take every event
she took last Saturday and probably
add two more firsts. Richmond, who
lost the 220 by less than two feet, is
relied upon to take first in hat event.
Idaho lost the broad jump by an inch
and the discus throw by a foot and if
either of these three events go to Ida
no and she holds her own in the 9TH
ers, the meet will be won by our team.
The relay team will be stronger next
Saturday than it was last Saturday
here. The prospects are very bright
for Idaho to take the meet next Satur-
day.
