TURTLE BRINGS
$40 AT EATON
RED CROSS SALE
Believe Total of $4,000 Is
Cleared at white Ele-
plant" Sale.

EATON, %, May 6.-While complete
returns of'receipts from all sources
are not yet obtainable, it is estimated
that the community sale held here
Saturday afternoon for the benefit Of
the local branch of the Red Cross will
show total of $4,000 or more. Just
before the local banks closed at
o'clock a little more than $4,000 was
deposited. The sale closed at 10
o'clock at night. after opening at one
o'clock in the afternoon.
Seven auctioneers "cried" the sale
from an immense platform at Main
and Maple streets and in the room at
the corner of these two streets.
Articles of every description was in
cluded in the sale from live stock.
household goods, farm Implements and
produce down to chinaware silver
ware and fancy work, and about every
thing else that one could name. The
variety was wide and quantity still
wider. Probably one thousand or
twelve hundred people packed the
street to watch the "doings" and par
ticipate in the bidding
Many articles bought were turned
back to the Red Cross and resold In
this manner a live turtle was respon-
sible for bringing in about $40. A
single egg went the rounds until it
brought in more than 500. There We're
endless instances of freak bidding Of
this nature. There was a sprinkling
OF antiques among many of the differ
ent kinds of articles sold, but they did
by no means bring fabulous prices.
Something like 500 was realized
for the Red Cross from a dance given
in the armOry in the evening.
Not long after the sale opened, an
aviator from the aviation field near
Dayton sailed over in an airplane. 1t
was the signal for spell of lusty
shouting.
A half dozen or more soldiers from
Camp Sherman were sent here for the
sale, upon request of the Red Cross.
The sale was undoubtedly the big
gest event Of it's character staged in
Preble county for the Red Cross. The
money from the sale will be expended
for supplies for the local branch of the
county Red Cross organization.

Mrs. Cyril P Wood is in receipt of the following letter from Mrs. Cecil H. Clegg, secretary of the Alaska Com mittes for The Fatherless Children of France:
 Fairbanks, Alaska, March 22, IS. My Dear Mrs. Wood:
 Mrs. Joe Smith has given me your name and says she is sure you will be able to help us in arsusing interest for the relief of the French war orphans. Knowing that you have small children of your own, we feel sure that this work for the children abroad will espe- cially appeal to you.
 We aren't going to impose upon you to the extent of asking you to repre- sent Iditarod. l have already written Mrs. c. R. Peck. of Flat, asking her to accept the appointment. We DO want your vicinity to adopt at least ONE CHILD, to help us (as Alaskans) to support 100 orphans. We have already assigned 55 in three months, and ws find it comparatively easy to obtain the $365 necessary for one year. Just fancy, only TEN CENTS ADAY That hardly has any meaning to an Alaskan child. Fairbanks children are support ing their respective orphans by differ snt methods--saving tinfol, cancelled stamps (for the dye) and doing odd jobs at 5 cents an hour. The value of their cooperation cannot be over estimated, both as to our committee and to them selves. And the loyal support we are receiving. and have received, is most encouraging.
 We know that you and Mr. Wood have been very busy with the Red Cross work, but can't either or both of you help little for the fatherless chil- dren? Have you any suggestions to offer us? Yours cordially,
 MRS. CECIL Fl. CLEGG.

Noble Work of Organization

The manhood of France is dying to defeat militarism. On the battlefield is buried the splendid promise of her young sons. If the old France, forced into this conflict and spending every ounce of energy and manhood in the struggle, to give birti, to new Franco, worthy inheritor of her splendid achievements, her children must be reared into young generation of strength and promise.
 No greater work can be done for France than to give these children the chance of which their fathers death has deprived them, Their plight is an emergency which must be met imme- diately, for neglect during one or two years of the physical, mental and moral welfare of the child cannot be repaired later.
 Over 130 years ago France came to

BARTO'S BIG BATTLE

Roy Barto, who for several years was forest ranger at Ketchikan, had narrow escape from death in the Phil ippines, according to letter received by w. H. Babbitt, forest ranger, now stationed at Ketchikan, says 8 newspa- per of that city.
 Barto's experience consisted of 8 battle with a python in which he was awarded the decision. His account says:
 "I was going along sizing up bunch of extra fine mahogany timber when l suddenly found myself in the embrace of huge snake, which began drawing me swiftly into a large cavity under the roots of tree. Without stopping to consider which end was sliding on, I got busy with my bolo and sliced off what proved to be about five feet of the tail end.
 "But my troubles were not over; the snake changed ends, and I thought it was all off. But by that time one of the native boys came up and handed me my 35 automatic, which he had been carrying for me through the brush. On putting the two ends together we found the snake 10 be 30 feet long in the clear.'

ALASKA LADIES DOING SPLENDID
 WORK FOB FRENCH WAR ORPHANS

Will you help my little ones?" In it's mothers home 5 10 keeps child l day. 300 keeps child month, 3650 keeps a child year. Subscriptions may be paid by the year, quarter or month, and child will be assigned upon pledge of a years care.
 Every cent of the money sub
 scribed goes to the child. Ex- penses are met from voluntary do-
 nations for that purpose The work is carried on through local committees, each of which is provided with list of French children. Upon receipt of your pledge and first pay ment, the name and address of child will be given you. As these children are "adopted" their names with those of their "adoptors' are returned to our French committee. Payments are made quarterly to the mother or guardian of the child, by postal money order bear ing the name and address of the Amer icaa donor.
 Every war orphan Of France who is certified to be in need and who is being brought up in his own home is eligible 10 this help.
 With every quarterly allowance is sent letter from the Paris bureau ex- blaming the friendship of America and instructing the child or it's mother to write letter of acknowledgement to to the American benefactor
 Through this personal touch we
 are building up between the two
 peoples lasting and unbreakable
 friendship.
 You will often be asked how you may be sure that the money will reach the children. The safeguards are: First, the character of the American and Trench committees; second. the fact that every payment is made on govern ment postal orders that remain on Ale and are open for inspection, and third, and above all, that the children and the donor are put into personal cor responderce so that if the child should fail to receive it's remittance the donor would be notified by the child or it's family.
