A Great Task for knitterS

An appeal has reached the local Red
Cross chapter for 7 %, 900 knitted sets
for soldiers, each set 10 consist OF a
sweater, muller, wrstlets and socks.
Each chapter in the country has been
informed Of this appeal, and work is to
start at once to see that it is filed.
To supply such quantity of knit
ting is an almost Hefculean task, but
the officials of the Red Cross believe
that the people of the country are viii
ling to set TO, and make the sets which
will when completed mean SO much TO
the boys at the front
The plea also requests that those
who are now knitting do not in any
way lessen their efforts. To produce
the million and half sets is task
that must be ADDED to what is already
being done. Those who are now knit
ting must knit more and more. Those
who have not been knitting must be
gin. Only in this way can the work
be accomplished. Everyone must help.
Those who are willing to do some of
this work may secure yarn for it by
applying to Miss Lottie Manning, at
David Flaggis store. One thing should
be impressed on the minds of the knit
ters and that is that they must follow
direction absolutely. If the directions
say thing must be IS inches long, it
must be; 56 will not be enough, and is
almost worse than nothing at all. Be
