 Support of Those in Need.

The Community Canning club, now that their books are being audited. find that they will be able to do as they had hoped when they first start- cd, that is, contribute something to- wards tl,e relief of those in need this winter. Besides meeting all expenses. they still have on hand a good supply of canned products which they have decided to sell and divide the pro- ceeds between the two organized charities of the city. The Plaut-Can- den Co. have kindly offered the use of a. window in their vacant store to place samples of the goods and allow the ladies to take orders for all the jars remaining unsold by Wednesday. They hope in this way to raach many homes with food not already benefited by their work and so make it help the whole community.

RED CROSS ASKS
 CONTRIBUTIONS TO FUND. Local Chapter FesIs t is Spending Too Much for Free Wool.

The war relief committee of the To- cal branch of the Red Cross hope that more women will feel that they can pay for the yarn to be used for knit tipg for the soldiers. A total of <$1,- 3e3.03' has been spent in the purchase of wool and only $459.as has been re- eeived by popular subscriptions and those who have bought wool to knit. This leaves $s24.D5 spent thus far by the Red Gross for free wool. The com- mittee feels that that amount is too great g proportion to spend on the one object while the other necessary supplies for gauge and surgical ban- dages as well as quantities of material for pajamas, hospital shirts and other articles of clothing must also be pur- chased. In Boston, New Bedford and various other large cities no free wool is distributed. Sets consisting of three or four articles have been furnished the boys leaving here for Camp De- vens and ss mere sets are about to be forwarded. Tn all about 4sS articles have baen distributed. Although the work is still of the utmost importance it is felt necessary to, curtaii the dis tribution of free wool. Subscriptions to the. fund are still most earnestly desired.

The person writes on the application the name of the bank through which he wishes to make his purchase. This is then taken to the bank by the scout. for which he is given a receipt. No scout is per mitted to receive any money and the. subscriber for the bond must be abso- lutely sure that at least ? per cent. 0f the amount of his bond is paid In at the bank by Oct. 18th.
 Judgeing from the work of Saturday tEe boys seem justified in having set as their goal 750 subscriptions, which they did at the rally on Friday even ing.
