A FINE GIFT TO RED CROSS

J. J. Lawler Donates a Find Two-Year-Old Heifer. J. J. Lawler of Chicago, who owns several thousand acres of land in Jasper and Newton counties, has presented the Rensselaer Red Cross with a splendid two-year-old black heifer weighing about 1,000 pounds for its sale next Saturday. If about a score of other wealthy men would follow Mr. Lawler s generous example and donate something of about equal value, the finances of the local Red Cross would be well taken care of for some time to come. There are a good many people in Jasper county who could cover Mr. Lawler’s gift to this worthy cause and never miss it, and it is possible that some of them will do so. At least it is hoped that they will.
