at Mitchell by the high school girls
under the direction Of Supt. ]. e.
Lindsey and the boy scouts under the
leadership OF Scout Commissioner Ra-
Der. The scouts will leave at every
house in the city an envelope in which
contributions to the Associated Chari-
ties may be put. The envelope will
then be put in the window in a con-
spicuous place. Two days later the
high schools girls will call to collect
the envelopes, stopping at only those
houses where envelopes are in the
windows. The Associated Charities
here has been without funds for more
than two years and it is believed this
method of collecting funds will re-
lieve their needs. Ii successful the
same method will be employed every
year.
What is going to become OF the
$4,000 in the treasury of the Moody
county Red Cross chapter? The Of
ficials OF the northern division at Min
neapolis have asked that the money
be turned over to them at once, but
the local officials Ct the chapter do
not intend to send the funds to Min
neapolis unless they are compelled to
do 10, asserting that the Red Cross
is not . war relief organization alone,
but IL a relief organization for all
calamities. Consequently they argue
that the money should remain in Elan.
dreau to be used as necessity may
demand. The outcome OF the contro.
versy will be watched with much in
terest by other chapters. some OF
which have even larger amounts in the
treasures than has the Moody county
organization.

sale dealer. the price of eggs on the
Sioux Falls market dropped so per
cent in a period of three weeks. Three
weeks ago the price was Sc cents per
dozen, Wholesale. while today the price
is % cents wholesale. AS many eggs
now are coming to market as usually
are received by April. The only thing
which 1t is believed would cause an
other increase in prices is q p~rotracted
cold spell. One firm in one day re-
ceived 10000 cases of eggs, and as
eggs will not be fit for storage for
about two months. they must 60 into
immediate consumption.

county is to have a new court house
is being discussed in Huron and the

Quate for the needs of the county and
