quested the American Red Cross to
supply the men on the fighting line
with 100000 knitted sets consisting
of socks, sweaters, mufflers and

from this country was October 18th;
this has since been extended to Oc-

instructed that, although the order

succeeded in obtaining ninety pounds

never could have been accomplished
without the cooperation of Mr.. B. l..
Auwerda, who has made every effort
to get wool for the local chapter and
furnished it at cost to us.
The policy of the Red Cross has
been that all who could pay for the
wool that they knitted should do so
and that others should make dona-
tons TO this special line of work if
they would, but that a requisition
could be made from Red Cross funds
TO cover the cost Of the wool knitted
by those who could not pay for it.
The committee through the kind
ness of The Raiiy Gate City, was
enabled to start campaign in that
paper for money and ltnitters. The

The Chairman's Report

The Keokuk chapter Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross is young, having been
organized the latter part OF April.
Prior to that time group of ladies
had been interesting themselves in
the preparing of hospital supplies
and knitted articles and the organiza-
ton of the chapter is due to their
interest.
The jurisdiction at first did not ex-
tend beyond Keokuk, but. as there
was no other chapter in the county,
we were asked later on to be respon-
sible for the conduct Of the war fund
campaign in the entire county and,
when FIT. Madison organized its chap
ter in August, the county was divided
between us and since then the Keo-
kuk chapter has had jurisdiction over
the city of Keokuk and Jackson
township outside, also Montrose, Van
Buren,, Charleston Franklin and Har-
rison townships. It's directors have
been: C. f. Mcfarland, James NJ
Fulton, C.. r. Joy, Rev. James w.
Gillespie, John, Rovane, ST., Mrs j..
B. We'll, J. D. Ecker, John A. Dunlap,
Miss Ida G. Howell, Mrs. j. c. Scott,
Mrs. Sarah NJ Rand, Beverly B..
a.
nelia Meigs, Lieutenant Sherlock and
Jacob Schouten, and its officers, C.
r. JOY, chairman; c. F. Mcfarland,
vice-chairman; James M. Fulton, sec
rotary, and John A. Dunlap, treas
urer.
The following committees have
rendered service:
General committee on hospital sup

man, Mrs. Beverly B. Hobbs, vice
chairman.
Committee on auxiliary circles
Miss Mary Margaret Ayres, chair
man.
Committee on Red Cross instruc-
tion-Mrs C. F. Mcfarland, chair
Committee on supplies for military
mem. Albert Kiedaisch. chairman.
War fund drive committee. F.
Mcfarland, chairman.
These committees have all render
ed excellent service. as will be shown
by their reports.
It was the intention to conduct a
membership campaign during the
month of May, but, as rumors reach
ed us that war fund campaign was
to be launched in June, the directors
thought 1t best to merge the member
ship campaign with the war fund
campaign, each subscriber Of s1.00
and less than $500 to the war fund
being credited with a $1.00 member
ship and each subscriber of $500 or
more to the war fund being credited
with a $500 membership Our pres
ent membership is 1862.
