property bags. 20 were to be for
warded by May l.. The workers at
the rooms beIng very busy with 9TH
or shipments. Miss Horning asked
the Junior Red Cross TO furnish
these bags. Not only were so made,

small personal belongings. ls
Five packing boxes. very well

The workers at the Red Cross
rooms we're surprised one day the
past week to discover two small
girls. quietly standing at the door
looking In. after apparently satisfy
ing their curiosity. they disappear
ed. but the next day returned as
quietly as the day before. THIS time
they ventured to address Miss Horn
ing and tell her they liked TO do
Junior Red Cross work. and after a
great deal OF pondering. one little
tot produced five cents which she
said she wanted to give to the Red
Cross.
This little gift prompted by their
knowledge OF Junior Red Cross work
which was received In our schools,
lays the foundation for a character
that win be 100 per cent patriotic.

talking with some acquaintance, he
stated that he refrained, with diff
Guilty, from throwing himself in front
of a moving automobile truck; that
something inside of him told him to
do it.
Captain Saunders is survived by
his wife, who was Miss Clara Craig,

John F. Tall, of Madison. He also
