Sattre Red Gross Doings.

Last Saturday evening at the home
of A. q. Gavle a parcel sociable was
held for the benefit Of the Red Cross,
and the dandy sum of $62.50 was
realized from the sale, and consider
ing the size OF the crowd it was Ger
tainly going some. Some of the Sat
ire scouts, including Ed Nordheim
and o. A. jacobson knew that it
wasn't customary for Mr.. Gayle 10
lock his chicken coop door, and they
soon had full blooded Barred Rock
pullet in the sale ring. By the way
the bids were coming in it certainly
gave the auctiOneer, Mr. o. J. FOyde
a chance to prove that ne WASH {
tongue tied. The pullet was sold over
and over again and when it was turn
ed down for the Last time it brought
the nice sum of $14.30.

me back to my work.
That is as it should be and it
shows your work must be of some
account What is it," asked Pri-
vate McGonegal.
Then the mechanic first-class from
the navy yard, man we'll educated
with the love of his special line OF
work that proves he has found his
right place. explained how he work
ed in the gun shops-where the men
were bending their best energies to
produce the most possible in a given
time. They all understood that time
on some Of the gun lathes was worth
500 an hour and that the man who
loafed was losing much for the gov
ernment. Generally, there was no
trouble with slackers. although now
and then "greaser" or nut
splitter" would try to break in to
keep out of the service at the front
for which most of the skilled work
ers were so anxious. The men in
the navy yard, who are not permit
ted to tight, were saving their money
to buy Liberty bonds and war saw
ings stamps. One young fellow in
the tool shop had subscribed for
$500 in Liberty bonds and had
paid up the entire amount.
Making a good gun. it seems to
me. measures up to more than one
mans usefulness IN handling it,"
commented Private McGonegal
That's skilled labor of the highest
quality"
Mechanic Hodgson agreed that
there were delicate operations con-
nected with gun-making when nickel
steel was SO susceptible to change of
temperature that one degree Of
change could produce an appreciable
expansion, when they measured
