£E» CROSS WAR FUND CAMPAIGN
Red Cross drive will begin on Monday and F^reeport muat raiae ten theueand for this important work; that is Just a little over one dollar fc every man, woinan and child in this Tillage, and after all, it is little enough for aa lo do.
The Red Cross is the real Angel of Mercy in thia war, and stands out above all this cruelty as a shining ex- ' ample that in tbis war all the humani¬ ty has not been squeezed out «f the world.
Elvin N. Edwards has been ap¬ pointed by Colonel Roosevelt as the chairman of the second war fund drive, and the time is so short that it ^.. is almost impossible to plan, careful¬ ly, a full working organization.

The meeting did not see fit to authorize the pur¬ chase of a phonojrraph which the school has been enjoying for some time. This is felt generally in the village to have been a mistake and to be a retarding of the progri.'ss of the schuol as a plionograph toduy is a necessary part of educational equip¬ ment. The motion to purchase was lost by three votes. However, the phonograph will remain in the school as public spirited citizens arc contrib¬ uting to keep it there. If anyone wishes to help, Mr. James Emery will gladly receive the gift. The plan or¬ iginated at the dinni r table of one of our Merrick hume.-; and Mr. Emery' was asked to take charge of th" mat¬ ter. Mr. Emery is Clerk of the local School Board.
