DE MOTTE RED CROSS SOCIAL AND BAZAAR A SUCCESS

The Republican is indebted to Mrs. E. M. Fairchild for the following report of the Red Cross social and bazaar held at DeMotte last Saturday afternoon and evening: The Red Cross bazaar and supper held Saturday afternoon and evening was an enjoyable affair as well as a financial success, resulting in $210.07 net being realized. Everybody helped and a smiling crowd filled Hart’s spacious hall to overflowing. The lines were soon cleared of garments, and many useful articles made by the women and girls of the vicinity. And the supper, yell, it was like the historical plaater of Jack Spratt and wife, but not until all were filled. If DeMotte was slow in waking, for which we should not be abused, we were only. following the watchful waiting policy of our President. However, we are ell surely trying to do our bit now.
