Red Cross Seeks $100000 More for War Fund
The local finance committee appeals to Washington residents to keep gifts flowing to the Red Cross war service fund as the drive remains about $100,000 short of the $500,000 pledge.

Contributions noted include $50 from Mrs. Samuel Spencer, $10.06 from an Byron & Adams employee, $10 from J. B. Tupper, $6 from Mrs. Louise Belknap, and $8 from M. C. P.

State May Curb High Coal Prices

Federal action has been delayed and ineffective. Illinois may take price control as a last resort.
