War Fund Campaign Will Close Monday Evening

The drive for the Red Cross war fund will close with the meeting in Gillam township Monday evening. There will be a meeting at Fair Oaks tonight and another at Parr Sunday night. When the campaign is over every loyal citizen of good old Jasper will have just cause for rejoicing. Those who cannot go are sending their money. The oil on East Washington street near teh B. Forsythe residence, is very thick and automobile drivers henceforth had better be unusually wary dr they are liable to take a spill. It is almost an impossibility to turn the comer at this place without having the ear skid. One car, whose owner we have not learned, had a rear wheel broken off this Saturday morning when the car skidded, the rear wheel breaking before it could be righted after hitting the curbing. Friday a car belonging to a local physician who had a patient in with him at the time turned completely around as it was rounding the corner and the doctor was not driving very fast either.
