It will be necessary for the candidates for the Athletic football team to turn out for practice if the team 'is to be a success, and with the material at hand there is no reason why it can not be a success. So we would like to see all candidates report at the cigar store Wednesday night between 7:30 and 8:00 o’clock for practice, so the team, can be prepared for Sunday’s game.

A message was received yesterday stating that an operation had been performed for appendicitis on Miss Nell Meyers and that she had rallied in a very satisfactory manner. Dr. English, who accompanied Mrs. Meyers to Madison Monday, arrived home today and brought a very encouraging report. Miss Nell had been operated on at 9 o’clock Sunday night and seems to have got through in the very best condition. Mrs. Meyers will remain with her daughter for a few days or until all danger is past.

The American Express Co. has made a very generous offer to aid the American Red Cross Society during the European war, and will furnish money orders without any charge for all sums that are sent to the Red Cross Society. Money is greatly needed to alleviate the terrible suffering incident to the war and the society is making an earnest appeal for aid. Probably there are some readers of The Republican who will be glad to contribute and the money can be transmitted free of cost through the American Express Co. to the treasurer of the American Red Cross Society. Mrs. O. K. Rainier left today for a visit at Chalmers and Brookston. At the latter place her brother, Jim Price, is quite poorly. He has been an invalid for several years.
