MORE FOR RED CROSS
Since the last report of the
Red Cross War Fund, contribu
tions have been received raising
total to $2,517.05. Among
is a gift of $230 from the
and staff of the Adams-
Miilis Corporation. This is a
noble gift. It ought to be an in
spiration to many others to go
and do likewise. The Farmers
Federation is starting a deposi
tory for old metals. The accumu
lation will be sold from time to
time, and the proceeds turned over
to the Red Cross. This is a fine
service. Send your “junk” to the
Farmers Federation!
