RED GROSS DRIVE GETS UNDER WAY Local Funds Go in With New Britain's Quota MRS. INGRAHAM IS DEAD Tabs To Hold Whist Party Tonight
 
Tabs To Hold Whist Party Tonight Small Fire Burns Truck Mems Bible Class Mecting-Other Notes Of Interest.

The annual drive for members in the Red Cross started today and will continue until Thanksgiving. The local drive comes under tho Cross. The quota Of New Britain has been raised from three 10 s50oo and the local people are ex- pected to do their part in anncxing this sum. There will be no special subscription for the Connecticut river relief fund. This is being taken care of by the National branch of the Red Cross who also took care of the Mississippi river relief.
 The Red Cross fund in Washing ton Is very low because of the big drains on it's treasury caused by the floods and an appeal is being sent out throughout the country. It has been decided that fifty cents Of each subscription will be set aside for the National branch. The balance of each subscription will be used by the local chapter Of the Red Cross. In other years 1t has been the habit of many people to denote a certain sum in one lump as the family's Of fering to the Red Cross. This year it Is hoped that each member of the family give his quota separately so that the National branch will beno- fit by the contributions.
 Berlin has always responded 10
 
 and is expected to do their share this year. Local men will be ap- pointed to take care of the drive.

AS 443 439- Proper Flying of Flag.

1 The question which agitated the , merchants about the center of the town a year ago has arisen once more. and they have been deliber- | ating as to the proper method of | flying the flag on Armistice Day. The Herald has been asked to settle whether the proper procedure Is 10 fly the national emblem at half mast until noon and then raise 1t to the top Of the staff or 10 fly 1t at full mast all day.
 Although there Is some slight dis agreement, the accepted custom is to fly the flag al full mast during the entire day, this being called for in the United States army regula- tons. The half-masting is done on Memorial Day. which is 4 day of mourning. and the World War dead are remembered at that time along with those who fell in previous wars. Armistice Day. observing the joyous end Of q conflict, is a day of jubilation and the flag should be flown proudly from the top of the staff throughout the day.

"WOrld'S Funniest
Man" Plays at
american Theafer

Will Rogers, "the worlds funniest
man. will be in Spokane Saturday
evening at the American theater.
Packed houses have turned out for
the cowboy humorist up and down the
Pacific, throughout the country, in
fact He is the American of the hour
with his witty comments on every
thing and everybody of Importance.
VIII Rogers program will be divid-
ed into three parts. The first will be
about his trip abroad as the "unof-
ficial ambassador" the second about
everything and anybody of interest,
and the third an exhibition of his rope
twirling tricks with an accompanying
monologue.
Will Rogers wouldn't win any prizes
at a beauty show, yet he graced the
stage as a star in Ziegfeld's follies for
five successive seasons in New York.
He's been bringing his fun to the
provinces" the last two years.
A brisk advance sale of seats for
Saturdays show has been reported by
John H. Happy and Joseph w. Ripley,

Frank Millions Mite Club Follies
Comes to New Hippodrome 1heater

Special attention has been given to
the musical numbers with Frank Mil
toms mite Club Follies," which opens
at the Hippodrome theater for an in
definite engagement starting March
9th. The clever young ingenue
is the same Louette Milton who has
received international publicity for
the remarkable range of her voice.
This voice with its range from mans
baritone through the complete scale
to several tones above the highest re-
corder soprano note of any opera sing
er, is particularly unusual in view of
the fact that its possessor is also the
claimant of many beauty and flapper
contests in the east which were won
quite without the aid of her vocal abil-
ity. This bill will be the last oppor-
tunity for the west to hear this re-
markable young woman for several
years as she is already engaged for
the 1929 season by one of the lead
ing grand opera companies. No less
than five managers of big eastern re-
vues and operettas, including Flo
Ziegfeld's casting manager, VIM.
Brady, and others have been bidding
for her services during the past sea
son. Other musical features include
Babe" Robinson, Eddy Pages Comedy
Four, Lillian Bessant of the widest
and meanest blues, the belong sisters,
Jack Finerty, Jack Buckley, late of
the Raymond Hitchcock company, and
20 beautiful chorus girls.
