you start at once and without wait

to parpare for the work, and we
suggest the following:
l. Form in your Chapter g
Committee on Knitting.
q. Mobilize all the available
knitters in your Cha p ter !,
Branches and Auxiliaries, so that
when the knitting manual is re-
ceived, every one who can knit

seek the aid in. this big under

they are members of the Red

A. A group ofIpersons quail
fled to instruct in knitting would
be a great help to the Commit

Please have all your members
understand that we do not want
the least cessation of effort of
workers in the production of sur
gical dressings and hospital gar
ments. 1t will be your problem
to organize $50 fas to get more
workers interested and the more
constant effort of those who are
not giving so..much of their time
to the work of the Red Cross.
Please impress upon everyone
who is knitting that we do not
want them to discontinue any
work which they have in hand.
Have themgwork industriously
on all knitting they can turn out

man family, Some parts of the earth seems to
have been made only to prevent hole in the
ground, and there are few holes below sea level
so poor that they are not even filled with water.
Not so here. Our soil contains every mineral ele-
ment which can not be taken from the abundance
in the air above it, needed for plant growth.
And not only is this soil rich in plant food but
the subsoi and the rock under it is of almost the
same substance as the mineral parts of the top
SOIL In fact, this section of country is so great
in its possibilities in an agricultural way that it
might with truth be said that the world lies
around it.
