KNITTING MUST BE WE'LL DONE

So much has been said Of the gar
ments sent to the Red Cross that
are never sent forward on account
Of the poor workmanship, that a
few words of correction and ex-
planation might not come amiss.
Nothing that is sent to the Red
Cross headquarters Is wasted, II the
work is so poorly done that, 1t can
not be accepted, the officials in
charge do 1t over. This is one of
the trials of the Red Cross officers,
to have to rip up garment, sewed
or knitted, and make it over.
Certain patterns and rules are
laid down for Red Cross garments,
everyone who calls at the local
headquarters for work is given
these rules or patterns, and while
mistake may be made occasion
ally, the most general cause of
poorly made garments is careless
ness.
This is particularly true Of knit
ted garments, the officers are not
called upon, one-half as often, to
do over. the work of beginners, as
they are to ravel out the work OF

her hurry to "do her bit" has sent
in garment that might do for a
fly screen but never for a protector
from the cold. 1t is not so much
the number Of garments a person
makes for the Red Cross as few
garments we'll made.
If each and every person who
takes the yarn for sweater or
pair of socks home would bear in
mind that this garment might be
worn by one dear to them, that
their friend, son or brother was to
be kept warm by It, there would
probably be q little more care used.
The stitches kent flttle closer to-
gether and ultimately little more
protection from the cold for the
soldier who wears 1t.

and at that rate there will be q
shortage of thousands of hens.
Only about one-third of the usual
number will be kept by the farm
ers through the winter.
In speaking Of the profits in the
poultry business, Mr.. Nye told of q
farmer in Minnesota from whom
he had purchased a large number
Of chickens. This man, with his
wife and five children, settled on
a farm and were without clothing,
other than what they wore, and
money, with the exception of few
dollars. One of the first things
the farmer bought was setting
hen. He gave her some eggs and
she hatched them. He gave these
chickens his personal attention and
from that day to this he has stead
lily increased his flock in size and
quality and now has one OF the fin
est chicken farms in the country.
This was accomplished, however,
by the personal attention of the
farmer.

STAND BY OUR YOUNG MEN

A million of the young men OF
the United States are in training
for military service in the war.
Some of them have already seen
some service in the F ench
trenches. The first shot has been
fired from an American gun, the
first death blow has been dealt, the
first man OF our forces has received
his wound. Others of our men
will soon be across the ocean to
take their part in the struggle.
The one thing necessary for those
OF us who remain at home Is to see
that at every moment and on every
occasion that may arise these men,
our own sons, brothers and friends,
have the united support of this ma
tion. That support must be ac-
tive, 1t must exhibit itself in con-
crete forms. Specifically 1t calls
for contributions of money. The
care of the sick and wounded, the
provision made for the leisure time
of the soldier In camp, these and Q
multitude of other things must be
provided for with funds raised by
private subscription. We canno.
perform our full duty to those
whom we have sent to war without
constant effort in these directions.
We have not caused million men
to be collected into our army, with
the idea that then we wash our
hands of them. Our thoughts, our
prayers, and our money must fol-
low and accompany them in to the
remotest corners Of the earth, and
we must keep in constant touch
with them until they have been
brought back to US, or until they
have given up their lives for us.
We must stand by our young men.

BURN BRICKS, SAYS

more for the Fargo district, yester-
day stated he had discovered
way Of burning kerosene for heat
ing purposes In common alright
sheet iron stove. This is the way
he says 1t can be done:
for several hours and ignite. The
kerosene in the bricks will burn for
an hour or more and become red
hot. They will continue to radiate
heat for several hours after the kerr
osene has burned out of the bricks
There is no ashes and the bricks
can be soaked and used again untii
worn out, which takes a long time.
BY using two dozen bricks, half of
them may be soaking in the kero-
sene while the others are being
burned. L.
Mr.. Blakemore claims this is very
effective fuel for heating purposes

than any kind Of coal. ~ :

however, to plant great numbers Of
