PEOPLE RALLY ID RED CROSS
 AID IN REMARKABLE FASHION
Gifts of Value Besides Cash
 Are Given to Mercy Cause by Patriotic People of Great Salt River Valley

Red Cross workers interviewed yes terday were one in their expressions | of gratitude to the people for the gen | crous support of the great war cause | for which they are laboring this week | Gifts of money to the fund were larger | and more numerous yesterday than the l two other days of the drive. Workers in the suburbs. especially 1 those contiguous sections inhabited l largely by the Mexican people. reported l generous offerings. In the city, several unusually large donations were re- ceicved. Reports from valley and other towns in Central Arizona Chapter were equally as encouraging as those from the workers in Phoenix.
 Gifts of articles suitable for auctions we're received. Among these gifts was fine heifer and another was an old clock dating back to the days of the American revolution. This property will be sold to the highest bidder later in the week, the money to go into the fund.
 A record showing has been made by Alhambfa, where one committee alone saw 16 people and secured s595 in sub scriptions. This will be a hard record 10 beat anywhere. Every subdivision of the county and every part of the area under the Central Arizona Chap ter is now actively engaged in the sec ond war fund drive, with one excep- tion but today this one district will be taken care of and work going on.
 The Bond Auction
 There are still a few bidders on the bond auction who have not yet turned in their S5 or $10 subscriptions, and the auditor is anxious to close this special feature in order to take on other re- ports. It will be appreciated if those who took part in the auction will send in their checks this morning.
 Red Cross Donations
 Another donation of great interest took the form of a copy of the Ulster County Gazette of January, 1900. This relic contains a report of the death of President Washington, and will be of fered by auction some time in the near future together with a lot of other valuable articles and relics which have been received by the Central Arizona Chapter
 number of other donations of live stock were made today and referred to Auctioneer Dave Goldberg, who is planning for a big Red Cross auction little later on, some time after the war fund campaign is closed.
 Intensive Campaign to Begin
 The work on the special list of 1000 is pretty well completed, and now everyone will start in on a campaign which will be so intensive that no one in the city will be overlooked.
