We desire to commend those who are so unselfishly working for the Red Cross in this campaign as well as have continuously striven to do what they could in this direction all along. Yesterday at their room a large number of the membership were eagerly working, doing" what they could in making, arranging and packirg thing3 for the shipments which ere to go forward soon. Along the streets we noticed the ladies working, and the streets themselves shows of their having been there. Most every business house told of their presence, some cards telling of the advertising, urging to join the society, which is good, while others which have small crosses on, indica tion how many have already joined these are more affective in their solicitation. 3 Do your Xmas shopping early - in the day. It's much easier. Fur Caps for Gift Giving!
