CARS ARE. NEEDED
Red Cross Workers Make {
Plea for Assistance.
They Can Use Automobiles in
Transporting Materials.

The Topeka chapter of the Red
Cross wants to borrow the U.S. of six
Topeka motor cars to haul supplies to
the different units and return the
finished work to the shipping rooms.
The use of one car with a chauffeur,
one day of the week, probably from
one to two hours of the day is de-
sired, and six Topekans with cars and
drivers are asked to volunteer their
services.
There are sixty-five separate units
of the Topeka Red Cross chapter. All
of the supplies are purchased in
wholesale lots and furnished on re-
QUESTIONS from the headquarters at
Crosby Bros. Each week each unit
plans to do a certain amount of work
and to make requisition for the sup
plies. The materials are furnished,
and when the work is done the gar
ments must be returned to the head
quarters for shipment to France.
Now it is either get volunteers of
cars with drivers who can handle the
bundles or nire express wage ms to do
the hauling Hiring the wagons is
more than sufficient funds to furnish
supplies for the workers, SO it is de-
sired to obtain cars and drivers as
volunteers if possible.
just Few Hours a Day.
I'VE would like to have a car regis
tered for each day." said Mrs. j. J. Dill
Ion, jr. I'VE would likely use that car
from one to two hours each day. The
time we would use it could be easily
arranged to fit into the regular duties
of the driver so that it would not in
terfere with his work materially. All
that is desired is the use of the driver
and car for not over two hours a day
to deliver the supplies and gather up
the finished garments and bring them
to headquarters"

should communicate with Mrs Dillon
at the Crosby Bros. Red Cross rooms
and the day and hours to be utilized
by the Red Cross will be arranged.

therefore blowing into Russia as fast
as possible so that they can present
new victories" to their people to still
the growing clamors for peace. Re
ports here indicate that both the Ger

are less content than ever before to
be fed on victory such as the Ger

Must Break With Germany First.
The Austrian Socialists demands are
likely to influence Count Czernin's ex-
pected answer to President Wilson.
Czernin has already reflected the pres
sure under which Austria labors, and
this new sign of internal distress
doubtless will make him even more
conciliatory than before, it is felt here.
Peace negotiations! tho, cannot ma
terialize unless Austria definitely casts
aside her alliance with the military
masters of Germany.

CORA VINCENT ELLIOTT.

Cora Vincent Elliott passed away
at the Butter creek home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Tom Johnson early Tuesday
morning, May 7th. Mrs. Elliott had
been in failing health for some time
and last year made an extended stay
in Arizona, in order that a change of
climate might prove beneficial to her
condition. The change was only of
temporary benefit and for the past
several months she had been under
the care of Mrs. Johnson, who is a
trained nurse.
Cora Vincent Elliott was born in
Walla Walla, Wash, December 13,
1888 and was the second daughter
of G. w. and Elizabeth (Baird) Vim
cent. The greater part of her life
was spent on the old Vincent farm
on Butter creek.
She is survived by one living rela-
tive, brother, Waldo Vincent, who
lives near Lena.
The funeral was held on Wednes-
day at the Butter creek cemetery,
where the body found its final rest
ing place. Rev. H. A. Noyes of
Heppner conducted the services and
about 100 friends were present to
pay their last respects to this good
woman, who was called by death
while yet in the prime of life. The
deceased was not yet 35 years of
age.
