RED CROSS STORE SELLS
ALL SORTS OF THINGS
Everything From Clothes Pins to
Evening Gowns on Display at
Salvage Shop.

With clothes pins resting lin a
drawer with bundle of neckties,
gingham aprons hanging from the
same rack with beautiful evening
gowns, other articles of wearing ap-
parel, kitchen utensils, garden tools
and bedding shown, the Red Cross
store recently opened in this city, is
offering some of the "best buys" ever
seen on the business row.
Many gowns have been disposed of
and it is claimed that they were "ab-
solutely new. positively up to the
minute in style, color and trimming" !"
Some little fault in the fit of the
waist or the fact that the skirt didn't
hang just right caused the original
owner to turn the gown over to the
Red Cross for the store.
Mrs. F. A. Wilson, who is manag-
ing the shop, has not entered into the
used car game yet. but admits that
there is no limit to- the goods or
stocks to be handled in her store.

MONTESANO PLAYS
LOCAL. HI SATURDAY
FOURTH BASKETBALL GAME TO
BE STAGED ON OLYMPIA
FLOOR.

Olympia Highs fourth basketball
game on the league schedule takes
place on the local floor Saturday eve-
ming when the Montesano aggrega-
ton, which lost to Aberdeen by 8
points week ago. invades the local
gym. There will be fast prelimin-
airy to this game, between a couple
of lively midget" teams.
Last weekend the local High team
broke even, losing to Chehalis by 2
points Friday evening, and putting
it over on South Bend Saturday eve
ming by points. The score in the
first game was 1913 and in the sec
ond. 23-19. Two other league games
were played last weekend, Montesa-
no losing to Aberdeen and Centralia
winning from South Bend by points.
Every league game SO far has been
hotly contested and all seven teams
see mevenly matched, though Cheha-
lis gives promise now of coming
out with high percentage at the
end of the season.
In the game at Chehalis last Fri
day Olympia's defense was excellent,
but 80 was that Of Chehalis, and the
local forwards could not get loose
at all. Loose refereeing also made
the game rough one.
The game here Saturday night was
a fine exhibition of basketball. Fast
playing, unmarried by any rough stuff.
featured the game. Reynolds, for the
locals, proved the most successful
basket shooter, with five baskets from
the field and seven on fouls, to his
credit, total of II points. Stentz
showed good form, particularly in
the latter part of the game. Bullock,
Hempfiing and Koeing were almost
unsurpassable on the defense, forc-
ing South Bend again and again to
shoot wildly and lose the ball.

rian, states. Her annual report
shows that 1869 new borrowers
have registered the past year. which
makes the registration from Septem-
ber, 1917. to present date 1854.
Although handicapped financially,
for the appropriation for the library

years and expenses in many instances
have almost doubled, the report
shows that good work has been done
during the year and the library con-
tinues to grow in popularity. 1t cir
culated 29,255 books during the
year, an increase of almost 5000
over the previous year.
Because of the high prices and
limited funds it has been unable to
buy as many books and magazines as
previously, but the books purchased
have been of the very best class and
total 427; received by gift, II; trans
ferred from rent collection, 81. and
purchased, 375.
The reading room is open to the
public and books and magazines are
circulated from 10 to 6 and to 9

PROGRESS IS SLOW
IN ]. v. ". TRIAL
CLASHES BETWEEN ATTORNEYS
FREQUENT-JURY NOT SE-
LECTED YET

The little Grays Harbor town of
Montesano. where the l. w. w. Ar
mistice Day murder trial started this
week, achieved the center Of interest
for the Northwest especially. and the
whole country, when the task of Sc
lecting the jury to hear the case was
begun last Monday.
49, So far only seven or eight Jurors
have been selected, out of venire
of several hundred. and none of
them permanently. Whether this
port of the procedure can be COM
pleted this week and the trial start
ed in earnest next Monday. is doubt
full. though attorneys on both sides
Profess the hope that it can be ac-
complished.
Frequent clashes between the
states attorneys and George Vande-
veer, representing the IL 1. w. WIS
on trial for murder, have marked the
proceedings this week. Likewise
there have been clashes and tilts be-
tween vandeveer and persons he has
been examining as prospective jurors.
These indicate that it is not only 60
ing to be a stubbornly, bitterly
fought case, but long-drawn-out as
we'll. vandeveer says it will take
eight weeks.
When the case came on for hear
ing Monday morning. Vandeveer
made another effort to get change
of venue to Tacoma. as he has done
several times in the past month. Su-
perior Judge Wilson of the local
court. who is presiding at the trial,
denied that motion. Again Wednes-
day Vandeveer made a motion for a
change of venue, citing the difficulty
in obtaining a jury and various news
paper reports as reasons, and again
the motion was denied.
Naturally. the trial is attracting a
big c rowd. Besides women, there
are q large number of men wearing
soldiers and sailors uniforms. 1t
was announced Wednesday that a
"jury" composed of IL American Le-
gion men chosen from posts through
out the state will attend the trial and
listen to all testimony in the case.
This decision was reached by the
American Legion posts after it had
been announced all over the state
that the labor unions of the state
would send Jury" to listen to the
case and return their verdict to the
members of the various unions.
Likewise the American Legion will
return their "verdict" to the state
posts. Neither one of the "juries'
will be authorized juries in the court
room and their verdict will have no
bearing on the case. They will mere
ly return their verdict" to their or
ganizations.
One Of the verbal bombshells
thrown into the courtroom came
Wednesday when Vandeveer, attor.
ney for the defense. hurled: II wish
Mr.. Abel to be barred from this case
because he is hired by the lumber
interests"
''That is lie," thundered Mr.
Abel.

Valdosta, Ca, Oct. 29.-Although

outcome MERGERS line could not
