CLOTHING NEEDED BY CHARITY BOARD

Help This Worthy Cause by Getting Out the Things Needed and Telephoning About Them. Several members of the charity board will eanvass the town in automobiles next Saturday morning for donations of clothing. We are beginning to have calls for shoes and clothing and all persons who have anything to give’are requested to have their donations ready by 9 a. m. Saturday. -Please- be- generous -and -do-not confine-your giving to things that you nor anyone else can use -ok —Articles -that are outgrown or out of style that might be of use in some way to the doner should be sacrificed, for unless the giving costs "your something it does you no good; even if it does help “the other fellow”. The board is often embarassed in its giving by the lack of needed articles. Do not fear that help will be given where it is not needed, for every case is thoroughly investigated before help -hr given and only the worthy receive aid. Just now we have a call to help a family of seven children who have scarlet fever, one of whom has died. As all the clothing they now possess must be burned. It may be readily seen that with the already great expense of sickness, the family is in great need of ready to wear clothing. Please see that all articles donated are mended and are clean. It will be impossible to call at every house and if you- have anything to give please call any member of the charity board and they will call Saturday. Silas Swain had a good night’s rest last night and was somewhat better this morning, indications being fnuch more favorable than they were yesterday. Dr. S. O. Barwick will be asked to resign as president of the Elkhart humane society because of alleged attacks on his daughter. Dr. Barwick declares he chastised her for insolence. - -■■■ 1 ■■■- V N. B. Hough, of Jamestown, N. Dak., called at The Republican office today. He moved to Jamestown three years ago and has enjoyed very good success farming and prefers that country to this and will return there after a visit here. His wife has been here most of the summer visiting relatives and will return with him. Mr. Hough says that the corn crop is the best this year ever raised in North Dakota. Wheat was a fair crop, averaging from 10 to 26 bushels to the acre.
