 Junior Red Cross Work.
 The Junior Red Cross membership of Emerson school are quite proud of their record this week. With enthu- , siasm and energy combined they suc- ceeded in turning financial deal that will net $40 for the local Red Cross.
 Under the direction of Miss Eliza beth Watkins, the domestic science classes gave a cafeteria supper at Emerson school last Wednesday eve ming.
 The boys and girls of the eighth grade worked untiringly in prepar- ing the manual training room for the occasion, with the result that over 200 people responded to their invita- ton to come and enjoy themselves.
 The menu was most tempting and served as it was by dainty Japanese maids, left nothing to be desired.
 In the kindergarten room was a vertible Japanese garden of flowers and lanterns and pretty girls, and here the classes had on sale dainty creations for feminine wearers and the manual training boys displayed more practical examples of their art.
 The parents deserve great credit for assisting the children in this venture, for the undertaking was a big one, considering it is the first cafeteria supper attempted in the school and given at time when many demands are being made.
 Truly the children were pleased at the response given it by the patrons of the school and the citizens of the town.

 One worthy contribution for the local Red Cross comes from five en- terprising and patriotic boys who de- serve most honorable mention. First we would name them and then tell you what they did: George Anderson, George Lamport, Bertram Mckinney, Charlie Erwin and Dick Hambley.
 These patriots were successful in obtaining some land from MT. Pollock and here they did their "bit"-even more than bit--their best--with f. nancial result of $50 realized from exceptionally fine potatoes.
 Keep these boys in mind for if at their ape they are willing to turn
