There has in the past week been a great many changes in real estate in the village. We un­ derstand that Mr. Walter Fairburn has purchased the dwelling on Main ; street from Mr. J. W.

Keyes and the dwelling of the Neilands estate in which Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Walker reside. Mr. Frank -Coleman purchased the dwelling of Eacrett in which Rev. and chardso-n reside and Mr. Hoodiesum, of Chiselhurst chased the dwelling in which and Mrs. Wm. Dabus reside-. from such sales. There has never been any set-up whereby monies re­ ceived through the sale of Red Cross goods can get back to the Red Cross Society. If Red Cross articles are sold it is not with the sanction of the Red Cross, and somebody is trying to do harm to an institution whose sole motive is to assist our soldiers in every pos­ sible way in the discharge of the serious duties to which they have dedicated their lives. We would urge our people not to be moved by these reports. Please report these things to any Official of the Red Cross and effort will not be spared to trace these rumors down to their lair.
