Red Cross Benefit Nov. 18th

Because Of the general reluctance
openly expressed by many Of our
townspeope about attending public
gatherings even after the ban has
been lifted, it has been deemed ad-
visable to postpone the Red Cross
Benefit still another week TO Novem-
Der 18th. Unless conditions should
fail to improve, there is no reason
WHY the entertainment should not be
given before a crowded house at that
time. The expenses incurred by the
Red Cross during this epidemic have
been heavy. Money is required to
meet them Add this need to that
of our army and you have another
reason for buying ticket early.
By Nov. 18th. all fear of influenza
should be over. To help you forget
the depressing conditions of the last
month. attend the big vaudeville
show Nov. 18th at the Opera House.
More particulars published later.
Reserved seats will go on sale,
