ADVENTURES OF
A GREY SWEATER
It Is Now on Its Way to Franc,
After Long List of
Unusual Adven-
lures.

There's gray army sweater on
its way to France. Thereby hangs a
tale.
Two young men from Keokuk were
out in an automobile a few Sundays
ago. One of them had a sweater
with him which had been knit by
his mother, when he was called to
the national army cantonment. When
he came to get his sweater at the
end of the ride 1t was gone. And to
all intents and purposes all traces of
the garment seemed to have been
effaced.
But 1t had been picked up later the
same day by a party from here, and
one of the members me ved heaven
and earth to find the owner. Find.
ing the garment still unclaimed, she
had it washed. and then after con.
sultation with members Of the Red
Cross knitting committee, it was de
cided to display 1t along with others
in store window. Still there was
no owner appearing and then it was
decided to include 1t in the shipm ent
of supplies which left Keokuk Tues
day.
That is how It comes that an un.
claimed, unnamed gray sweater
beautifully knit, is in the shipment
which is now on its way to the sam
mics over in the land of the Marine
and the Seine.

Herbert Hoover, who will put the
