Evening Republican, Volume 59, Number 81, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 April 1917 — Room Donated to Members Of The Comforts Committee. [ARTICLE]

Room Donated to Members Of The Comforts Committee.

James Shaffer, owner of the K. of P. building, 'has kindly consented to donate his vacant room, first door east of the Princess theatre, to the members of the Comforts Committee of the Navy League, for sewing purposes, until he has the room permanently rented. There are about one hundred members in the local order, who will help to see to it that our navy boys are supplied with needed articles of wearing apparel. The chairman of the local order states that anyone caring to donate money to purchase yarn may do so at either Montgomery’s newstand or B. F. Fendig’s drug store. If sufficient money cannot 'be obtained in this way other means will probably be resorted to, but it is thought all of our citizens will gladly respond to such a noble undertaking.
