Machine Is Damaged.
The automobile was considerably
damaged, although not as badly as
would be imagined by the thrilling ex-
perience Of its three occupants The
top and windshield were demolished
two wheels broken and the shell of
the radiator caved in The body Of
the car was not damaged and after
the broken wheels had been replaced
by garage men from Peru the ma

Children In Need
OF Proper Clothing

That many Marshall county school
children are being kept home from
school because they have not proper
clothing to wear, is the assertion made
by Miss Loretto G. Newman,} executive
secretary of the Marshall County Red
Cross, who is making an appeal to the
more fortunate in the county for cloth
ing for these pupils who should be at
tending school, According to the secre-
tary, this condition to a large extent,
is due to present financial conditions
and the poor crops Of the past year.
1t is the opinion of Miss Newman.
that many people are unusually near to
the border line of poverty and poor
crops means that they must be denied
many of the essentials Of the average
family. Present financial conditions
have left many deserving people dest1-
tute OF things with which they would
ordinarily be supplied.
The appeal Is made for worn shoes,
coats, dresses and other clothing that
would be useful to children from five
to sixteen years of age with the hope
that aid societies, farmers clubs and
individuals will prepare boxes of clean
and mended clothing for the use OF
those more unfortunate. Clothing Tor
adults and children not of school age
as we'll as infants will also be very &C
ceptable, according to Miss Newman
All such clothing or boxes Of clothing
should be sent to the Office OF the exc.
cutive secretary at the court house IN
Warren.

And by and by you'll make your club
A sort of happy sunshine hub,
