RED CROSS ROOMS TO
CLOSE FOR SUMMER

On June 1st., the sewing rooms at
the Red Cross headquarters will be
closed for the summer. In no sense
does this mean that the Local Chap
ter is disbanding. It is only that the
actual production of the sewing rooms
will be suspended until September 1.
With the completion of 100 refugee
garments today, there will be only
80 hospital garments in the work
rooms. 1t is the aims of the super
visors to finish these by June LIST. No
further quota will be issued until
fall.
Miss Ida Hafford, State Execu-
tive Secretary of the Red Cross, who
was in town Monday, said, "The wo-
men of the State have made a won
derful record. Il is the desire of
Headquarters not to. call on the wo-
men during the summer months so
that they be rest from the strenuous
work which they have done so I'M
selishly during the period of the war
and come back in the fall refreshed
and ready to finish the work of recon-
struction."

characters, Mrs. g. H. Stowe.

few have ever done more for their
church than she; we know that her
influence will be greatly missed.
Third-We as members extend to
the bereaved family our most heart
felt sympathy, but would say to them
"Weep, not as for one without hope"
Our loss IS her eternal gain.
Fourth-That copy Of these reso-

and copy be furnished to the local

Hatch MANY Chicks.

A produce company at Harrods-
burg, KY, put in a mammoth incuba-
tor this season to test the demand
for baby chicks in that territory. Al
though the first hatch is just now off,
the demand for day-old-chicks has
been greater than the supply. The
manager of the company writes: :
sit looks as if next year we will
either have to give up this work or
put in larger machine"
{ It would appear from the above
that the baby-chick business had
great possibilities in Kentucky.

Warrington Planted Trees.

The visitor at Mt. Vernon is al
ways struck with the wonderful va.
riety Of trees and shrubs which the
father of his country planted with SC
much care. All this planting shows
quite plainly that he enjoyed the
beauties of nature; but he seldom
commented on them, at least in his
diary. On April day when the shy
young leaves were making the world
over again, he wrote in his diary:
"The flower of the Sassafras was
fully out and looked well-an inter
mixture of this kind and Red bud
conceive would look very pretty
the latter crowned with the former
or vice versa"

WOMAN JAILED
At KEYPORT
BraWI in Government Row"
May Cause Borough to Clean
Out the Place

Keyport. Mar. 3rd. AS the result of
a "brawT' in the building on Maple
Place commonly known as Govern
ment Row" Emma Cooper, colored,
was sentenced to ninety days in the
county Jail, sentence being given by
Justice of the Peace Isaac N. John
ston Saturday morning. The row took
place on Friday night when it is al
legged that one of soldiers now act
ing in capacity as guard at the Nor
gan plant was hit over the head by
presumably a bottle and the sum Of
fifteen dollars taken from him.
The soldier became much incensed
over his fleeing it is said, and from
what the authorities car ascertain be-
gan to make things lively by throw
ing stones through the windows of the
building. Deciding that he had been
o unfairly treated the soldier came
to the business section of the borough
and made a complaint to the authori-
ties n altho IL is said, he could not
prove who had hit him a search re-
suited in the arrest of the Cooper wo-
man. The soldier failed to explain
why he, a white man, was in the com.
pany of colored people and in pro-
nouncing sentence against the colored
woman, Justice Johnston also took
time to reprimand the soldier and
warn him to keep away f~aa the build
ing.
Government Row" has long been
an y sore to the people of the bor-
ough. The building is in a dilapidated
condition and it is said that conditions
existing there are such as to demand
the immediate action of the borough
authorities. Several years g the
Keyport improvement Association
made a desperate effort to have the
place cleaned up but without avail.
Recently the place had become
more and more d~isreptable looking
n not only that the character of
the occupants has been such that
neighbors rave complained, among
them being Mr.. Bozart, a former sta
ton agent here who made his recent
complaint to the Mayor, DIR. o. c. b.
gardus. Mayor Bogardus said that
the borough was certainly responsible
for allowing such conditions to exist
there and he therefore reported that
H. Vreeland the owner of the place
be summoned to appear before the
council where he should be given to
understand that the character of the
occupants must be changed. Mr..
Vreeland will probably appear be-
fore the meeting of the council on
March 10th.
