RED GROSS SUPPORT j. j.
FROM MINERAL CENTER

The splendid spirit that carried
them "over the top on the reserva-
| tion in Liberty bond drives, Red
Cross drives and other drives while
the war was on has not been slack
ened by the cessation of hostiities
as was clearly attested by the result
of the basket social for the benefit
of the Red Cross, given recently at
Linnelrs hall, Mineral Center.
The hall was donated and every
thing, practically, was donated, the
total expenses amounting to the
small sum of $3.50. The net proceeds
of the event, which have been turned
in to the Red Cross, amounted to
$94 CO.. There were baskets galore,
all trimmed to the queens taste; and,
they say, the way the boys bid on
them at the sale was simply a cau-
tion. One man,-he was married
man though-who put 5-spot in his
jeans that evening, thinking it ample
for any emergency, was heard to say
that he felt like a piker before the
sale had gone very far. Maybe pros
pective customary May-day events
had something to do with the liveli-
ness of the bidding, for one young
man who, it is reported, has been
smitten by the shafts of Cupid, en-
countered cruel competition when
ever he entered the bidding. But it
would not be fair to the good folks
of the reservation to intimate that
this was the principal cause of the
success; because, as stated in the be-
ginning, they have habit there of
going over the top gloriously, and
it's a habit that gives their neigh
bors Of the county reason to be
proud of them. It's the spirit that
has helped Uncle Sam to give good
account of himself in the late un-
pleasantness, and that is good
enough reason why this acknowledge
ment of the benefit on behalf of the
Red Cross cannot be considered ex-
travagant.
