COMING EVENTS OF INTEREST;
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
for this district has been complet
ed with gratifying results, Sid Mil-
ligan, president of the Cottage
Grove I.ions club, announced yes-
terday. The roll call, with the help
of several organizations and indi-
vidua Is, had a much better re-
sponse than at the corresponding
period of last year and the ulti-
mac' results were probably due to
the war conditions and increasing
need for the millions said to be
star, mg in Europe. &<-President
Herbert Hoover, who has been aid-
ing the European relief work,
stated recently that estimates of
the number of people actually fac-
ing starvation In Europe and
China today had been raised from
twenty to thirty million people.
H. C. Schmelling. James Rod-
man and Sid Milligan composed a
committee from the Lions club
who canvassed the business dis-
trict and secured approximately
100 members. The work of can-
vassing the residential section was
in charge of Mrs. Arthur Jones,
who assisted by a group of ladies,
reports about 100 members, mak-
•ng in all a total membership of
200 with a fund of $200.00 secured
for Red Cross work.
