BIG DRIVE WILL
END TOMORROW
OVER $500 ON HAND OF BOUN-
DAIRY COUNTY'S QUOTA OF
RED CROSS DRIVE
MANY DISTRICTS TO HEAR FROM
klOckmann District Gives Total of
Five Hundred Dollars

The various precincts of Boundary
county which have made reports on
the Red Cross drive, have contrib
uted beyond expectations and Chair
man A. j. Kent is confident that
when the drive is closed Wednesday
night of this week, Boundary coun-
ty will have gone we'll over the top.
From the reports now in over
$500 of Boundary county's appor-
tionment of $2500, has been raised.
Of the money now subscribed 1856
has been raised in the country dis
tricts by the committees who went
out last Thursday. A committee
composed of Mrs. Wales, Mrs. H. ].
Monks, Mrs. Boileau, Mrs. Geo.
Causton, Miss Loretta Lynch and
Miss Vera Jones, is in charge of the
Red Cross drive at the mill of the
Bonners Ferry Lumber Company and
have reported collections of over
$500 so far. The committee APP
pointed to go to Kloclmann will not
make this trip as Chairman Kent re-
ceived word Sunday from A. Klock-
mann, president and general mana
ger of the Idaho-C Continental Mining
Company, to the effect that Klock-
mann precinct had gone ahead and
conducted its own campaign and had
secured $500 for the Red Cross drive.
This is a record to be proud of and
the people of Kloclmann are to be
congratulated upon their display of
patriotism. Chairman Kent has as
surance also that about $400 will be
secured from the camp of the In
land Paper Company at Addie. Mes
srs. Voshmik, Bottum and Cowen
visited the A. c. White and Tormey
hn1s !.
and secured $16S and Messrs. Rich
ardson, Henry, Henderson and Hol-
linger secured S87 at Naples. J. G.
Bush secured over 500 at Eastport.
Chairman Kent made an effort
to secure credit for contributions
made in this county by employees of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, the Spokane International Rail-
way company and the Great North
ern Railway Company but was not
successful, he having received tele-
grams yesterday to the effect that
these subscriptions were turned over
to the federal reserve districts and
would not be apportioned to counties.
The drive will close Wednesday
night, May 10Th, and Chairman Kent
desires that all committeen, en- hav-
ing receipt books turn these in
promptly the evening of May 10Th,
in order that he may report to state
headquarters promptly.
Mr.. Kent states that he has re-
ceived a total of $107.70 from the
Red Cross ball. game last Friday.
He is greatly pleased with the work
done in making this event a sue
cess and states that special praise
should be given the women who took
active charge of the arrangements
for the day.
The members of the graduating
class of the high school also con-
tributed handsomely to the Red
Cross drive and their total subscrip-
lions amounts to $75.
Everyone in Boundary county is
urged to do his or her share to make
the Red Cross drive a success. If
the committee failed to see you mail
your subscription at once to Roy
Voshmik, treasurer, and a receipt
will be returned to you. If YOU
can't go across, come across. MANY
are sacrificing necessities as we'll
as Injuries in their efforts to helm
win the war. H. L. Shively yester-
day told of an old lady whom he
solicited to give to the Red Cross.
She had a dollar and had planned to
use it to pay her railroad fare so
she could visit her daughter. She
gave the money to the Red Cross,
however, and remarked that she
would put off her visit until she
could scrap together another dollar.
This is the kind of patriotism that
counts.
