Local Red Cross Auxi liary
Making Progress
The Central Point Red Cross Auxili
ary is making progress.
At the reg

regular officers wera> elected at the
meeting held the week before.

quarters next Wednesday evening.
All members should bear this in mind
and come.

work of sewing. The first work under
taken will be the making of pillowslips
and sheets. 'Ihe women who want to
help with this work must come prepar

Courtship”
The caste of the coming play, ‘ ‘ Facts
and Fancies of a Colored Courtship,”

ing progress with the work of learning
their parts. There have been three
rehearsals already. The next rehearsal
will be on Friday evening, at the Y.
M. C. A. Rev. M. C. Reed, the author
of this wonderfully humorous play, has
been directing the work of the re
hearsals.
The date set for the play is Wednes
day evening. May 9. Those who have
witnessed the rehearsals say this play
is one o f the best amateur productions
that they have ever seen. The play is
one humorous succession of laughable
and ridiculous incidents and remarks,
the wit nearly always coming at the
unexpected moment.
The fourth annual convention of the
Oregon Cattle & Horse Breeders’ Asso
ciation will be held at La Grande, Ore.,
April 24-25, 1917.
All stockmen are
invited to attend.

The death of Dr. J. P. Hearst,
in Saint Ignance, Mich, formerly

who used to know him. Those
who knew him best feel the loss
of a true friend, for he was a
man well liked.
During his distinguished career
he was sent by his denomination
to Japan as a lecturer and
missionary, where he served nine*
years. In hissojeurn in the little
