In addition to the above we have received $46 cash, dona- ted by friends, in addition to the amount taken in for membership. For our New Year ball Tuesday night 96 tickets were sold and $20 worth of punch, making the total proceeds $117.45 and net proceeds | $69.55, the expenses being $47.90. |The “watch” card party with re- _freshments given in the I. O. O. F. jhall Monday night was also a | splendid success, netting for the | Red Cross $19.75. The total ex- |pense for this party was 25c¢ for parer plates. An error was made in the last |issue in stating that Oscar Asker |had contributed $40 to the Red 'Cross. It should have read Loui Asker, instead.
