A GRAND SUCCESS
Last Saturday Was a Red-Letter
Day in the History
Of Meeker
A GREAT PATRIOTIC DEMON
STRATION

Notwithstanding the unfavOrable
weather conditions, the great demon
stration, inaugurating the Third Lib
erty Loan, and the Red Cross drive
for Meeker and Rio Blsnoo county,
held In this town last Saturday, was
. great big success.
Owing to rain and snow Of several
proceeding days, roads In some places
were hub-deep In mud. Nevertheless
Oakridge park, the Mesa and Powell
park were we'll represented by patri-
otto citizens, all eager to take part
and render aid In the worthy causes
which called them out.
OF the 1000 Liberty Loan bonds
allotted to Rio BlAnco county, over
THIRTY THOUSAND were subscrib-
ed for on Saturday.
As the table below will show, near
ly FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS was
realized for the Red Cross fund. To
give . list Of oil the contributors to
this cause would take up about .
page Of THE HERALD, and Is many
names were lost by the committee,
we will not attempt to give the list Of
these generous and patriotic people,
which Of necessity would be incom-
plets.
The days demonstration started At
10 O'Clock by an impressive street
parade, which was lead by the Mod
ern Woodmen band, rendering In
spring music. The procession was
made up - follows:
A boy and girl, mounted on horses
covered with national colors, and cos
tuned in Continental regalis.
The Boy Scouts, In uniform.
Camp Fire Girls, In costume.
Small boys, In costume.
The Junior Red Cross, all In white.
Mesker Chapter Red Cross, In cos
tune.
Boys with banners bearing such
legends as: Buy Liberty Bonds"
"Give Service" "Plant War Gar
dens," "Hooverise," etc.
Niger Liz and her attendants.
The auction Of contributed articles
followed. and was conducted BY J. +.
Shuts In . very successful manner,
and was carried on for most Of the
day.
The dinner, which was good one,
commenced at II O'Clock, and the
supper started 1t O'Clock. It was
also = nne feed.
At4 p. m. addresses were made by
District Attorney Frank Delaney,
John r. Clark and Prof. ZuInwait.

ciated vocal selections.

To the large corps Of women and

the two big meals, dinner and supper.
much praise is due. No corps OF
women and girls ever worked harder.
The service was as efficient as In a
crowded public dining room or large

nobody had to walt an undue length
Of time. There were loads of we'll

One little chap IA Grinstead boy)
only had his jack-knife to give. He
gave 1t. And 1t Is safe to say that the
big fellows-such as John Schermer-
horn and Frank Sheridan-wills see to
It that the little fellow has a finer
jack-knife in place Of the one which
he gave to the Red Cross. This is a
sample Of the spirit that prevailed.
About the most interchangeable
worker Of the day was J. b. Legg,
chairman Of the committee to which
was allotted the work Of soliciting
for the Red Cross drive. Mr.. Legg
brought TO his work an enthusiasm
which meant nothing but success. He
WAS ably assisted by mis- lieutenants.
What made some contributions
bring the big money was the spirit of
give which animated many, who
when they bought something. would
say: Put 1t up and sell It again."
Thus things were sold several times
over.
