A DAY OF DAYS.

APRIL 4TH AST) THE RED CROSS. No effort is being; spared to make April 4th a day of [days for the Rod Cross. If all goes y»eH—and there is every indication that it will—it will be a big day >in every sense of the word. * *< ' 1 There will be plenty of life, plenty of music, and a whirl of patriotic business. First of all; there is a big art union, in which every shilling ticket will have a chance of winning every one of the S4 przes—,£looo worth of sheep .for a shilling. Fanners of Taihape have ..provided the prizes, and 19s out of every 20s goes to the local sub-centre of the New Zealand branch of the Bed Cross Society Tickets are on sale now, and those of our readers who are unable to buy them personally may obtain them by sending the money (postal notes or P.O, money order), addressed: “Mrs E. H. Suisted, P.O. Box No. 2, St, John’s Hill,, Wanganui”—and send it quickly, '< Now then Mr Farmer, send for a pound’s worth right away, and more if you can afford it. There will be “something doing” on the appointed day. The organisers are hustling. Everybody who. is able to help is invited to co-operate. 'The immediate need is goods wherewith to stock the stalls, and stock , and. produce for disposal in Paddy’s Auction. A special appeal in this connection will be found in our advertising, columns.
