Two unsuccessful attempts had pre-
viously been made to pull off the

was a secluded beach on Long Island
Sound. While the men were fighting
furiously the tide rose and at the end
of the eighth round the water was
above their knees. The ring was
then moved TO a dryer spot, and the
terrific combat continued Reagan
wore long spikes on his shoes and
accidentally cut a deep cash in the
Nonpareils legs. The ring was changed
to a third site, and the battle was
carried on there and concluded. Rea-

STICKING TO THEIR JOB

Now that the war is over, we are
wondering what our war institutions
are going to do. We are especially
interested at present in the Red
Cross. The work of this institution
has doubled since the closing of the
war. A large order for more sweat
ers has been received in Boston for
the first installment of sweaters are
wearing out and our boys who must
stay oyer there for some months yet,
must have sufficient clothing in the
cold weather Besides clothing our
soldiers, the Red Cross is clothing the
women and children of the afflicted
countries. The extent of our Red
Cross work is almost unbelievable
the other day l overheard a CONVEX
sation between two soldiers from
over there. One said, pointing to his
knee. Il have new knee-cap here
put on by the Red Cross in Switzer-
land" SO large is the extent of our
Red Cross work. Let us continue to
give our most hearty support, for the
Red Cross workers will stick to their
job until their work is completed.
