would be accomplished if all the la

of supplies could rapidly be filed and
shipped, if each lady in town would
go to the Red Cross sewing room on
Wednesday of each week and take out
garment to make.
The boys and young men OF the
town did quite a "bit" last week,
when they got up basket ball game
between the students of the Graded
School and the town team, and gave
half of the proceeds to the local Red
Cross chapter The teams were COM

young to be in the draft, or those
who have not yet been called to the
colors; and they volunteered to do this
ervice to 'help winI the war;"
The ladies who sew and and knit,
and the young men who had part in
the ball game are by no means the on
ly patriotic citizens of Colum bia, as
some of the children have done their
part in rather an unusual way. The
primary room of Lindsey Wilson, at
the suggestion of their teacher, Miss
RhoduS, made an offering to the Red
Cross, of the money that would other
wise have been spent on their Christ

children deserves mention, as does al

that the hen must take her place
among those who are helping to win

and the city jewellers who are helping
on backyard scale, to make sure that
the hens opportunity will not be neg
