TO AWARD HONORS.
The committee on awards of the
Red Cross asks that all ladies who
think they have put in sufficient time
in the Red Cross work rooms to de-
serve the decorations which are to be
given, meet at Crosby Brothers Red
Cross rooms at one-thirty on Thurs
day.
There is only a specified time given
to this work and all awards must be
in by February %, so those who do
not come Thursday may not have an
opportunity to receive their credit.
Topeka has always been at the head
in Red Cross work and it is only fair
now that they receive their rewards.
The committee hopes to meet with a
large number of these ladies on Thurs
day.
