¥ VOLUME 26. NUMBER 21. COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1918. COTTONWOOD CHRONICLE $1.50 PER YEAR. , RED CROSS DRIVE GREAT SUCCESS Nation, State and County All Over the Top. Latest reports are to the effect that the nation will raise at least $160,000,000, having gone away over its quota of one hundred million dollars the first day of the drive—last Monday, 20th. Idaho’s allotment of $300,000 is over the top, as is Idaho coun- ty’s quota of $8000. As usual, Cottonwood district, embracing Winona, Greencreek and Keuterville, with its allot- ment of $3100, went over the top with a crash the first day of the drive. Up to noon today the to- tal subscriptions amounted to $3367.50, with a promise of-con- siderably more before the drive ends tomorrow evening. Greencreek and Winona have ‘always been classed—even by the people residing in those localities —asa part of the .Cottonwood district, their natural trading point. Therefore our people hope that no one would be_ unreasona- ble enough to try to find fault be- cause our soliciting committees see fit to work in those territories. However, those places are given full credit for their subscriptions. In the present drive, so far Green- creek has donated $386 and Wi- nona $455. The allotment for ® each place was $300. No exception should be taken to Cottonwood’s activity in solic- iting subscriptions before the + opening day of the drive. This has been encouraged and prac- ticed all over the United States, and thousands of places had their allotments made upa week or two before the opening day of the drive.

Following are the Red Cross al- lotments for Idaho county as made by County Chairman Brown | of Grangeville: | Grangeville iicn.3scss8% Cottonwood. . : White Bird.

The bank deposits and general wealth as well as population of Grangeville is approximately 2.5 times that of Cottonwood. There- fore the allotment for Grange- ville should have been something like $6,500 instead of $3,500. The fact that the Cottonwood allotment was placed at only $1,000 less than at Grangeville may be construed as a compli- ment, and proves that the Grange- villers have the utmost confidence in our ability to raiseany amount they see fit to name.

It brings a full week of splendid entertainment, music and lectures for less than ten cents a number. There are 26 big events during Chautauqua week. Your season ticket admits you to every one of them. Single admissions amount to over $6.25, so you make a genuine saving of almost a five dollar bill in buying on the sea- son ticket plan. Should you at- tend only four leading numbers (and you surely will not miss these) New York City Marine Band, Shubert Serenaders, Henry Warren Poor’s War Pictures and you will still save money by pur- chasing a season ticket. Then, too, single admissions do not assist your committee of loyal citizens who are bringing the Chautauvua to you.
