RED TRIANGLE CAMPAIGN

i „ "* The Red Triangle Campaign Fund fpr Gisbome and the |last Coast di^aidt now stands at approximately £13,057 13s 6d. The above figure, Avhiclv is subject to revision by the honorary treasurer, Avas arrived at -at a meeting of the Campaign Finance Committee held on Saturday evening, the amount specified representing the total sum of actual receipts and promises. A number of the^ donations promised' have still to come in, and these promises are being steadily redeemed. The sum of £13*,507 138.^ 6d does not take intt> account the anonymous donation of £250, half cost of re-erection of tlio Mander lnit, given conditional upon the balance being subscribed, and of which £227 7s is in hand. No difficulty is anticipated in raising , the remaining, £22 13s, which will thus j bring the gross total: up over £13,*500. « j The total expenses of the campaignare estimated to amount .t0.. £222 IQs 3d, thus leaving a net sum of over £13,000, which works out at less than 2 per. cent., and is thus Avell under the 2b per cent., the standard set by the National Council of the Ncav Zealand Y r .M.C.A. The "target" aimed at, it will be recalled, Avas £10,000. The district's effort has thus gone ,weM f "over 'the top," and' the splendid response is doubtless the finest testimony . of. Gisborne's appreciation of, the- magpifieent Avork that the institution is carrying out on behalf of the "boys" on active service. It compares more thai! faA-or-ably Avith the amounts raised in other districts of the Dominion, and on a population basis is -claimed by Mr. Var. ney, National Secretary, as ' a world s record _ for the Y.M.C.A. Several additional donations acknoAVledged are as folloAvs : — E. Dolman and A. Baukier £1 15s; J.R.M., £1; H. Keinvay (additional), £1 ; D. Jamieson (prize sheep-estimating re-donated), £1 Is; Mrs. E. Beaufoy, Rakauroa (per ■sheep-estimating), £1.

QUIT THAT COUGH BAXTER'S WAY. Why waste time and money and prolong suffering experimenting with untried remedies when Baxter's Lung Pre. server acts so promptly. . Quickly silences the rnost ; stubborn cough. Gets right tq the sjeat of the trouble and removes all affections of the respiratory system. Soothes and heals strained throat muscles-strengthens lungs. That's the "Baarter*s ,a way. Unequalled also for- colds, inflpenza, nnd throat troubles. Get generous-el zed 9s bottle from chemist or store to-day. A peculiar and painful accident befell a returned soldier. Mr. H. , J. Harris, bf Totara North, a few. days ago. He was engaged in climbing trees: for gum, and had worked his way up atiiee to the height of 25ft, when in driving a gum hook into the tree it was deflected by a vino, and tho hook entered his left hand, impaling him to the tree. With great presence of mind and fortitude, Mr. Harris withdrow the hook, and with lightning speed, again drove it into, the free, thus preventing himself from falling backward. He eventually reached ,the bottom of the tree and fell fainting to. the ground with the pain. 7,:" ' ■'•* Remember what has served you well, .
