Gen. Winn, gave a short talk. Not like a soldier but from his heart and introduced the speaker of the morning, who gave a lovely talk. He has two boys in service and how proud he is that his boys are fighting for the right and for posterity.

This week is unusually hard. Exams but will do my best.

Your loving son and brother, Ernest W. Poe.

SOME REAL LIVE RED CROSS SALES
REPORTS OF SALES FOR RED CROSS THAT MAKE OURS LOOK LIKE PIKERS

We have been boasting of our loyalty to the Red Cross and the big prices paid for property donated to that noble order in this locality. A man recently from the east, who saw "General Pershing," or "Adam," the Red Cross calf sell for $65 last Saturday, remarked that the calf brought a small price, and to prove it handed the writer the following report published in an Iowa paper, telling of a Red Cross sale in a little stage town, of 200 inhabitants, off of the railroad, where a large part of the population are foreigners. The report follows:

Monday, March 25, was a Red Letter Day in the History of Fertile. Not until late Friday afternoon was it definitely known that the sale would be held Monday afternoon, but when the word went around announcing the date definitely everyone got busy and the result was that the sale was a success in every way.
