RED CROSS MOVES
TO NEW ACCOMMODATIONS IN
ELKs' BUILDING.

MANY hands make light work" 50
! The task OF moving TO the new quar-.
ters in the Blks' Building was easily
accomplished on Saturday morning.
~. r. McGreEor kindly loaned his
truck and Two men. Members of the
Red Cross Board assisted and the la
dies in charge of the various depart.
ments did their part.
The local Red Cross were fortunate
in their former quarters and were
most kindly treated by the officers
and members of the Commercial Club
which donated the use of rooms and
furniture Like all other war en-
terprises, the Red Cross work has
grown Orders came to add gar.
ment department and Home Service
office, so it was necessary to have
more room. The Elks offered to
finish and arrange the lower floor OF
their building to suit the needs OF the
Red Cross. This offer was accepted
and all departments of the Red Cross
work are now nicely accommodated
at the Elks' Building. two blocks
south of the court house. The tele-
phone number is the same as former
y-121G.
In response TO a call for furniture,
desk and bookcase have been pro
yided We still need mirror for
The CLOAK and chairs; either
dining room chairs, those extra ones
in your attic which you use only for
parties, and which you will not need
during war time, or some from some
lodge or club room or Sunday school
which will stand vacant till those on
your honor rolls return. Loan them
TO the Red Cross which is working
for these boys. Folding or straight
chairs win do. Paste your name on
them and they will be returned to you
when YOU need them. We need at
least four dozen. Phone 1910 about
them. A Red Cross committee have
arranged for a rest room and first aid
station in the automobile display room
at the Fair, This space was donat-
ed TO them by the auto men Of the
city.
Mcneil Brothers have loaned al

The Italian in "Spad" a French ma

his machine gun at the same time.
One of the Germans. the pilot, was
wounded in the head, lost control OF

him in the back mutilating him ter

Such gameness as he showed was in
keeping with his make up When they
put him on the litter he jollied the
fellows about keeping things going

his injury Its a terrible game, the
