W ait to be Canvassed
The co-operative store committee
held a meeting Thursday night with
a large crowd present. A car of
coal has Just been received and sold
for $11 a ton, considerably under
local prices. A car of sugar and a
car of feed is en route and nearly all
sold. The store Is to be opened about
the 1st of December.
The ladies of the Home Bureau
were the guests of the commulty
club of Hermiston Tuesday afternoon.
A delightful time was reported and
dainty refreshments were served.
The Umatilla ladies felt that they
learned some things about Oregon
that they didn’t know and the feeling
of good felowshlp was an Inspira­
tion. They plan more such visits for
the winter. The ladles attending
were: Mcsdames Nugent, McFarland,
Renick, Llewellyn, Cast, Paulu, Bur­
nett, Davis, Cherry, Lambert, Ed­
wards, Sutton and Rinehart.
Mrs. Mary Jones who has been
quite ill ot St. Anthony’s hospital is
much better and will be home on
Thursday. She was operated on and
is under the care of Dr. Gale.
On Saturday night quite a large
bevy of friends gathered at the home
of Mr. and Mra. Allen to spend the
evening. The time was pleasantly
passed In games, dancing and re­
freshments were served at a late
hour. A very enjoyable evening was
reported.
The Red Cross drive In Hermiston
will begin on December 1 according
to II. E. Hitt who is in charge. This
is the Thursdoy following Thanks­
giving.
Buttons for Sale Now
Last year Hermiston gave $408.50
to the work and It Is hoped that the
city will do at least as well this year.
Mr. Hitt says that while the regular
drive has not opened he has the but­
tons at hlH store and that the books
are open for subscriptions now. If
people will conie in and get Iheir
buttons before the drive opens a lot
of work will be saved the commit lee
as It Is a big Job to hunt everybody
op.
A committee 'will bn appointed
within the next few days to make
the canvass. They will take cars
where necessary and will cover both
town and country. Mr. Hitt wishes
to emphasize, however, that people
can save the committee a great deal
of needless work If they will conie to
the store and get (heir membership
now.
Work is Important
The Red Cross is now taking care
of several thousand victims ot
wounds anw gas in the late war. It
cares for the needy everywhere and
goes wherever there are floods, fires
or other disasters which make out­
