RED CROSS NOTES.


The knitting committee wishes to
urge the ladies who are knitting for
the soldiers to send in all finished
articles as soon as possible and to
rush as much as they can on unfin-
ished articles. We find that some
of our boys are already in the French
trenches, and we feel that it is very
necessary to get their wool sets to
them across the water within the
next two or three weeks. Please
send all knitting to Mrs. John H.
Poag's residence and not to Red
