DONATIONS FOR RED
CROSS SALE GROWING

During the past week :hc list of
donations for the Red Cross sale
to be held on Friday, February %,
has been greatly increased, and ii
now looks as though by the time
set for the sale arrives, if the clip
set this week continues, it will be-
a big success. This does not mean.
however, that there is at present
any where near enough articles
promised to enable the committee
IN charge to do credit to an affair
of this kind, nor will the present
list bring i'll the required amount
to keep the force Of loyal sewers
and knitters supplied with suffici
g., ent materials to enable them {,
keep on with the good work. Thc
average person does not realize how
much money is required to keep
branch such as Wahpeton and vic
Unity boasts of, supplied with mat
eria]s, and in order that the pub
lie may realize the extent of their
.]abors and the amount Of money
expended. we will publish in next
weeks paper summary of the Ell
tire work and expenditures of the
branch:
While it is true that the pass
week has shown a 100 per cent in,
crease in donations, yet the com
mittee is compelled to appeal for
a list that will out number the pre-
sent contributions several humid
red per cent, and it is hoped that
the articles will continue to come
in. Those who intend to make any
contributions to this worthy und-
ertaking are requested not to wa.
until the last minute, but to phone
or write their intentions so the
committee can make proper adver-
Using of the sale. 1t does not
matter what you give, anythin%
will be acceptable from Il loaf OF
bread to threshing rig, and the
more articles there are to be sold,
the more money will be raised TO-
clothing, hospital supplies, etc, for
the boys who are even now carry
ing the Starry Banner of the y.
S. A. to the first line trenches in
France.
Get the spirit GIVE. Give
something-if you can't give Il
COW, give calf. If you can give
a calf, give a pig. Ii you can t
give pig, give a chicken. Any
thing will help-but give the COW
if you can. We have got to have
big live articles and small articles.
The small articles are coming in
very satisfactorily, and so are the
big live ones but we would like to
have them come faster in order
that this undertaking may be a
success. So during the coming
week let us indulge in the spirit
of giving" and boost the list an
Their 100 per cent over all. Our
neighbors from the country did
good work during the last week.
and we hope to have them continue
with more contributions.
Next week we will publish Il
complete program. and it being
Washingtons birthday. and a hol
ilay. it is our desire. that pvcrynue
from town and county. lay asid"
their work and plan for an after
noon and evening in Attendance at
this event. and ;elp make it ii sue
