The Peter Hoffman sale on Thurs
day was well attended and things
sold we'll. Mesdames Geo. Doyle, P.
Rolling, F. Daniels, F. Wood and W.
P. Bossenberger served the lunch for
the Red Cross and cleared $36.15.
This makes over 500 that the ladies
have to turn in to the county chapter,
and they are hoping they can increase
it to an even $780, This has meant
a lot of work but every one is happy
over the sum earned. Nearly as
much was earned earlier in the seal
son and was sent in or used to pay
for membership in the Red Cross for
those unable to pay their own dues.
The VIM. Swatsley sale on Friday
also went off well. The Presbyterian
