 One realizes the big work the Red Cross is doing when such earnest speakers as J. R. Brayer addresses ar audience. Mir. Brayer has spoken or several occasions in Flagstaff, but with no more forcefulness than when he addressed the ladies on Tuesday He has seen six months service over seas and expects to return quite soon He told of the great percentage of boys that would be lost were not the Red Cross so continually on hand in time of stress.
 His figures were staggering con- corning the amount of bandages used after a single battle. A thirty-mi' ute speech full of creditable successes attributed to Red Cross workers made the ladies present feel more conf. dent than ever that their work is a most important one.
 Donations still pour into the treas ury; one most welcome is sent in each month by Mir. Lowry of the Coconino Cattle Company, and this $5 each month represents what one is able to sacrifice for the good cause. l AHOlHcT .iHc uoHdtiOH was OHe dozen pair of beautifully knitted socks, sent in by the W. c.
