HAPPENINGS IN THE JAGIC Cm Cudahy Packing Company Makes Red Cross Donation Through Branch Plants in Various Cities. The Cudahy Packing company has made its Red Cross donation through its various plants and branch houses, located in 105 different cities, instead of subscribing a lump sum through the general offices located at Chicago. M. R. Murphy, general manager, says this was occasioned by the smaller cities requesting that the com pany make its donations through the local plants and branch houses in view of the demands made on them. The company concluded that it would give better satistaction in tnis manner than by contributing in a lump sum from the Chicago office. Cudahy Boosts Enlistments. M. R.
