Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 97, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 April 1919 — TO SELL PONY TO AID MOROCCO RED CROSS [ARTICLE]

TO SELL PONY TO AID MOROCCO RED CROSS

Walter Lynge, part owner of the Courier, was over from Rensselaer Saturday on business. Notwithstanding that he chooses to reside elsewhere, perhaps more from business necessity than from choice, Mr. Lynge regards Morocco as his home town, and while here last Saturday he made arrangements to sell a Shetland pony for the benefit of the local Red Cross. The pony will be sold on the street here tomorrow evening at auction, and half over $25 realized in the sale will be given to the Red Cross. This money will be used to put the Red Cross magazine in the public schools. Charles Martin will contribute his services as aucioneer and it is hoped that a large crowd will be present. Mr. Lynge recently made a somewhat similar proposition to Rensselaer and Will H. Ade, of this county, went over there to buy the pony. He made but one bid and got the animal, but it is hoped that a little more spirit is manifested in the sale here tomorrow evening.—Morocco Courier.
