The Red Cross membership drive
in this town closed formally last
night, but there are some scattering
returns that probably will come in
during he week. so that 1t will not
be possible to announce the grand

amount reported to date is 1855. with
a prospect that there will be over 400
names placed on the membership list
of the Oakland Branch for the ersu-

created a little depression which had

tiringly for this result, and has been
