YES. LET Us KNIT.

We note in one Of our eN-

ter that bears strongly on the
need of more efficiency i'll the
matter of knitting.
'Canuot the women of the
United States organize their
imueh needed knitting. says The
writer. "Nhy do we knit. knit
from dining table to
|rhurch service, when with Il ma
trhinc the work would not only
be done uniformly all over the
country. but in small fraction
Ior time. thereby saving much
valuable energy which it Is our
duty to conserve. Cannot we
women get together in units and
purchase at Il small output to
each 4 knitting machine! Let the
women Of America do nothing
THAT savors Of pose.
It occurs to MS that there may
he another side to that proposal.
! Certainty. we are not ready to ac-
cllsr our knitting women of de-
sire Ia pose. We find they knit
when they meet for patriotic dis
IcuS> ion. or for their afternoon
teas or in the thcatrr>. because
there Is no other occupation to
take its place under these cundl-
tons. Certainly our women cam
not be expected To can vegetables
or fruit while They are drinking
tea at neighbours house or
watching a play. Since they have
many household duties for per-
Torrance they could not give all
Of their time to knitting by ma
chinery That work should be
done in factories.
We may add. too. that there is
La sentiment that should not be
ignored. We are certain some Of
|our Missoula boys will fight bet
ter clad in Il sweater that has
been knit by the busy hands
|of his mother and sister or his
sweetheart rather than one that
has been turned out from an
Ieastern sWeatshop.
No. we will not join this anti
knitting movement until some
thing better has been proposed.

SURPLUS OF WHEAT

Protests Against Wheatless and

Statements appearing in the Chicago
press emanating from infereatsa par
ties, protesting against wheatisss and
neatiess days as aHReEe4Eary sacri-
fees by the American BHhlic, are eitSsr
malicious or emsnate from personal il
terest.
The results from meatless days have.
for the first time, given us sufficient
reserves Of meat to allow uS tn only
partially comply with the qHantides
requested by the allies for shipments
This should be a matter Of satisfsc-
lion tn the entire American DeDpls,
hat their devotion in this matter Hew
-nables Us to at least partially fui6ll
our duties Ia the sllies in this respect.
As tn wheat. we have already e1-
ported the whole Of the surplus Of the
1917 harvest. over and above the nor
NAL demands Of our own population.
It is necessary. therefore. for the food
administration to restrict the export
Of wheat. 50 as to retain in the United
States sufficient supplies tn carry or
own people until the next harvest.
Therefore all exports Of wheat from
now forward are limited entirely tn
volume Of saving made by the Ameri-
can people in their consumption Of
wheat and wheat products. We are
continuing wheat shipments az far ~
our situation allows but even with all
the conservation made we are still un-
able to load over 100000 tons Of food
Stuffs urgently required by the allies
Statements OF the character referred
TO given out for personal interest are
in little accord with the spirit bein.
shown by millions Of homes in the
United States in an endeaver to aid
the food administration in its task.
