Ted Briggs has little note from
Roy Kemble, son of w e. Kemble,
who is with the American ambulance

spirit of the thing on the other side.
Roy says:
Am writing this by lantern light,
sitting on my trunk, in little stone
house We are 'billited' in the most
picturesque French village you could
imagine. Quite a ways from the
front lines but near enough to hear
the big guns when the wind is right.
"'Haye enlisted as a private in the
Ambulance Comps of the United
States Army, detailed to French ser
vice for the duration of the war.
Don't know how long we will be here
but expect to move up very soon.
Have found France to be a won
derfuI country but absolutely devoid
of men. They are all shot TO pieces.

the French people treat us splendidly.

PREDICT SHORTAGE FOR MEN IN FRANCE
KNITTED ARTICLES ARE BEING
SHIPPED ABROAD.

Many who have been knitting for

Secretary has written to National
Headquarters in regard TO this mat
ter and has received, the following
reply
Miss Amy B. Rosenblatt, Secretary
Oskaloosa Red Cross Chapter Your
letter of October End has been re-
ceived.
In reply to your questions as to
the furnishing of your local company
with knitted sets. we may say that
it is advisable for you TO postpone
this work for the present and con
centrate an efforts In getting out the
quota of knitted articles to be ship
ped abroad at once
Just now this matter stands as fol-
lows: American soldiers and the
brave soldiers of our allies, are al.
ready in Europe. They are in des-
perate need of these new sets at once,
and their suffering will be increasing
ly severe as winter approaches. Your
mel on the other hand, are not yet
in need of these knitted articles; as
soon as the need arises, the Red
Cross will be ready TO equip your own
men when they enter thel active SER
vice.
The quota of knitted articles as
signed to Chapter does not include
knitted articles that may have been
or are being provided for boys going
from the local community or state.
Any knitted articles furnished for the
purpose of Quitting the boys at
home should be considered, as extra.
Thanking you for your interest in
the Red Cross, we are, yours very
truly, MAURICE BLOCK.

DIXIE CORN BREAD
RECIPE FOR THE REAL ARTICLE
MADE IN VIRGINIA.

Most everybody likes corn bread
and most everybody therefore knows
that some corn breads are better than
others. II is likewise agreed that
the corn bread of the South is sup
posed to have it over that made in
the North by considerable margin,
and the corn bread of Dixie Land is
the corn bread you read about.
If you have never tasted corn bread
as she is made in the South, try this
on your range and satisfy yourself
that there is nothing like it, The
following recipe is furnished by Rev
Arthur NJ. Lewis, Rector of st. James
Episcopal church.. He brought it
from Virginia and he knows it's good
for he has tried ii. .s.
