They discussed their studies with an
almost unbelievable enthusiasm. They
even referred. with stiff smiles, to

RED CROSS DRIVE
TO GET UNPAID
FUND PLEDGES

About $4,000 in unpaid pledges to
the last war fund drive of the Amer
ican Red Cross must be collected by
the Imperial Valley chapter before
November l, according to the instruc-
tions received from the national head
quarters in Washington.
All this week has been set aside
as the period for payment from The
delinquents. To minimize the COM
mittee work little solicitation will be
done and those who know themselves
to be delinquent are asked to go to
the Red Cross headquarters and make
arrangements for prompt payment.
An endeavor will be made to col
lect every dollar outstanding, as the
war demands on The great humani-
tartan organization have been increas-
ing with the increased burdens fall
ing on America in the winning of the
struggle and caring for the people
of the reconquered portions of
France.

lest government conservation request

This measure of economy is urged
in instructions received from Wash

3-cent stamp be used instead of three
1-cent stamps; 10-cent stamp in
of five 2-cenl stamps, and so on.
The result of observance of the re-
