IVIORE ABOUT OUR SI�YEBWABE
Besides the richness appearance, silverware is really the most
economical to purchase, for it is p'actioably indestrucltable, you buy
it only once in a life time, and the first cost is not appaling either,
now a. -days.
Improved methods of manufacture have eheapened it surprisingly
and designsget more and more attractive. Come in and let us
help you select, the gift you are looking for.

REDR
C OSS NOTES
A Unique;. Experiment in Inter-
nationalism
The cross of red on a field of white
emblem of the Red Cross, the Ameri-
can Stare and Stripes with the
British Union Jack, flew side by
side, . and representatives of Cana-
dian and American Red` Cross Socie-
ties were present for the opening of
a branch of the International Blood
Donor Clinic at Watertown, N. Y. on
May 24. Trim navy uniforms of the
Canadian Red Cross blood donor
nurses was in pretty contrast to the
varied uniforms of the American
women. "Over a hundred years
ago the people of these two countries
shed each other's blood in bitter
warfare; to -day they unite to give
their blood together to send it to
war that •men and women may live,"
Clinton's, next Blood Donor Clinic
will be on Tuesday August 1. We wish
to urge you to keep your appoint-
ment.
