Local Red Cross Aids.

The body Of Marvin Arbogast, q
Highland boy, whose death in Akron
Ohio, was reported by our Crabbot-
tom correspondent last week, was
brought to his home cemetery for
burial after considerable delay Incl
dent to the heavy expense of ship
ment. The father, Jerry Arbogast,
who is a man of limited means, re-
quested that the remains of his son
be sent home but was unable at the
time to advance transportation char
ges. The body was held at Akron
for several days awaiting the requir-
ed guarantee, and ~an Arrangement
was finally made whereby the neces-
sary amount-$150.00- was assum-
ed by an uncle, a brother and the
Highland Red Gross Chapter, and the
remains of the unfortunate young
soldier boy reached Stanton on the
following day and were conveyed
from there to Crabbottom by a local
motor truck. i.
Young Arbogast was attracted to
Akron by the inflated wage scale
prevailing. there, but became ill be-
fore he had gone to work, a victim of
The flu scourge.

In conjunction with the campaign

Continuing Mr.. Wheeler says;
with fresh beef selling nj prices
ranging from forty to seventy'five
cents per pound retail, cooked corned
beef, at twenty-five cents per pound
can wholesale costs about .one.fourth
of the fresh meat price, on cooked
and boned basis. It's relative value,
as compared to fresh beef such az
porterhouse, round and sirloln steaks,
and chuck and rib roasts, can be
readily seen Wneu II IL u'"'i aN''~

Unless conservation Is practiced
the city Is talking Of making the
rate so high that families will be
forced to be saving with water.
