Charity Board to Give. Benefit Picture at Star.

The charity board has arranged with the Star theatre to give a benefit picture next Wednesday, March 21. “Sunshine Mollie” will be produced with Lois Weber as the star at 2:00, 3:15, 4:15, 7.-00, 8:16 and 9:15 p. m. The board has had less calls than any previous year and no long cases of illness. The H. C. L. makes the bills grow fast and we have been unable to help that. The Fi Fi fund with some donations of cash (which is the sweetest, purest charity) provided for our needs until early in February. A generous response to this benefit and a like one Some time in April at the Princess, we are hoping will bring us through the year without having to ask anyone tor money. With the county hospital, the factories coming our way, and ttie wisely generous gift of our late citizen, Benjamin Harris, the outlook for little use for a charity board seems good.
