A GOOD WAY TO HELP. \ Why I Became a Member of the Junior 1 Red Cross Society. ] The reason I am a member of the 1 Junior Red Cross society is to be a worker for the soldier boys, for they ' have not many clothes to wear. They want us to knit sweaters, mufflers. < socks, helmets and other useful things they will need to wear over in France,where it is so cold. We can 1 make pillowcases, pillows, sheets, bandages and washcloths for the 1 wounded soldiers to use. I think we ' are all patriotic and want to see the 1 Germans whipped, and I think this ia a ornnH wav fnr pvervnne to helD. Dora McGee.

Electricity For Five Cents a Day. It is impossible, of course, to say definitely just what DeleoDight will cost to operate. This will vary with t?e amount of current used and some people use more than others. But we are able to state the usual cost on the average farm. This is about five cents a day, and can be verified by asking any Delco-Light user in this county.
