RELIEF AND AUTOMOBILES Ea'di Monday morning Red Cross flour is distributed in Green castle P is perfectly proper and fitting that this be done, but Monday morning we witnessed several people drive their automobiles to the west side of the square and there load their free Red Cross flour into the automobiles and diive away. We wondered where the automobiles came from and where the gas and oil on which they are run, comes from. Does the township have t»> supply this motive power also? The fart that many are dbing things they cannot afford financially, has been a contributing cause for the present economic condition of the country and according to loc-H conditions, when folks eome for Red Cross flour in their motor cars, conditions are not improving materially And this will continue as long as it is permitted.
