wristlets and socks and we in turn
are about to call on the Chapters
throughout the United States for the
production of those articles.
To simplify the knitting as much as
possible, we now have in the print
ers' hands new and complete man
ual of instruction for making the sew
eral articles required.
The Red Cross Supply Bureau is
arranging for large supply of yarn
and knitting needles to meet the re-
quirements of Chapters
Within the next two weeks we ex-
pect to have the knitting circular
ready for distribution to the Chapters
and large shipments of yarn will be
coming into the various branch sup
ply houses.
Desperate need will exist for these
articles among the soldier and civil
population of France and our other
Allies before we can get these articles
made
To expedite the completion of the
work, we would like to have you start
at once and without waiting for the
new knitting manual to prepare for
the work, and we suggest the follow
ing:

2. Mobilize all available kritters
in your Chapter, Branches and Auxil-
iaries, so that when the knitting man
ual is received, everyone who can knit
will be prepared to start work imme-
diately.
3. Make it clear that we seek the
aid in this big undertaking of ALL
knitters, whether they are members
of the Red Cross or not.
4. A group of persons qualified to
instruct in knitting would be a great
help to the Committee.
As soon as we learn what proper
ton of the total of this large order
is to be cared for in each section of
the country, we shall advise with you
as to the share of the total which your
Chapter should undertake.

tn crop meets with slightly better
than 10-year average conditions
With extremely favorable conditions
such as were experienced by the win
ter wheat crop in 1914 and the spring
wheat crop in 1915, the total yield
would amount to one and one-quar-
ter billion bushels. A ten per cent.
increase IN spring wheat acreage with
favorable growing conditions would
add another 100000 BUSHES. The
figures quoted above are based upon
a winter killing of nine per cent. and
yields per acres of 1876 bushels for
winter wheat and 1872 bushels for
spring wheat, the averages for the
last ten years, and a yield per care
in 1914 of 19 bushels of winter wheat
and 1874 bushels of spring wheat in
1915.

Col. THEODORE Roosevelt so delivered

The colonel took occasion in his
speech to pay his compliments to the
administration. He did praise Presi-
dent Wilson for some of the activities
of the administration and then voic-
ed his criticism. He declared that af-

School DAYS Here

This IS the month to prepare for
school. If it is possible, have the chill
dren enter on the first day so they can
start with their class and have no
back work to make up later on. The
school child should have as little home
study as possible and should be made
to remain out of doors for at least
two hours play daily after school.
Children who come directly home
from long school day and then curl
up in chair in the house to read or
study until supper time, soon become
pale and round-shouldered, have
head headaches and dark circles I'M
der their eyes If some home study
is absolutely essential, have the child
go to bed early and get up early in
the morning, take a glass of milk and
start studying an hour before break
fast. He will then be fresh and work
twice as fast as if he had attempted
this preparation in the evening when
brain and eyes are tired.
Have the children in bed by 1880
or 500 p. m.,. and never allow them
to attend moving-picture shows or
any other form of amusement that
rob them of so much needed early
sleep, which is especially essential
during the school year There is time
enough for these later in life, and on
Saturday afternoons. If mothers in
sisted on more sleep and regular
hours for school children, there
would be decidedly fewer cases of
restless nights, st. Vitus dance and
, other nervous disorders.
The children who are old enough
to go to school should receive their
, full share of wise thought and care
at this time of the year, as well as the
younger babies. The mother should
personally visit the school and become
acquainted with the teacher, not to
criticize but to make friends with her
and talk freely about Johns" or

RED CROSS NOTES
Editor of Life.

Out where the line of battle cleaves,
The horizon of woe,
And sightless warriors clutch the
leaves
The Red Cross nurses go.
In where the cots of agony
Mark deaths unmeasured tide
Bear up the battles harvestry-
The Red Cross nurses glide.
Look! Where the hell of steel has torn
Its way through slumbering
earth
The orphaned urchins kneel forlorn
And wonder at their birth
Until above them calm and wise
With smile and guiding hand
God looking through their gentle eyes
The Red Cross nurses stand.
Here in our sheltered homes we sit
Remote from wars red sweep
Doing f-heartedly our bit
Sleeping our painless sleep.
See! Where the Red Cross flags I'M
rolled
With red and white and blue;
Let us pour out our treasured gold
Tho guide the Red Cross true.
There is plenty of material at the
Librbary now, so join your regular
group and keep the good work going.

Women" bringing tears and smiles
and lessons of filial devotion and I'M

better than she knew. There is no use
of discussing dramatic technique in
dealing with ''Little Women" It is to
laugh and then reach for a fresh
handkerchief. 1t is good clean play.
It is play to which people of all ages
and all classes may go and reap moth
