TO ENfT OR MOI To KNIT
THAT ~ THE QUESTION

An article reprinted last week ia the
Literary Digest from brooklyn
Mass Chronicle. entitled why Not
20 Knit" must necessarily cause seri-
Gus questioning among the great mum
bers OF kuitters for the Red Cross I
Three principle points seem 20 be

army second that they could b.. made .

In reply 90 all these points let us
sny that the Red Cross l. doing this

Department. and the experts Of that
department and of the Red Cross must
De- presumed Co know their business
The astounding statement 81 "a Cana-i
dian officer that "he had never seen a

sweater" is easily explained by the
fact that army regulations require the
/ Jackets % be- worn over the sweat
or. So that the latter is Invisible The
/ gentleman probably never had ocular
evidence OF men Ga service in under
clothes either.
That machines could do the work

not true according TO the experts that
have compared the two products. while.
If they could. IL would be wholly impos-
sible for the factories of the country
% produce ANY appreciable part Of tn.
necessary supply. This also has been
thoroughly investigated.
As for the need Of the wool for cloth
ing. 60 is understood that the govern
ment has virtually secured control Of
all the wool and has assigned to the
Red Cross just as much as the govern
meut wishes il to use. The Red Gross
would not be- justified in using more
than its assigned portion and is not
| using more. What IL uses is deemed
by the government the best use L.
which that particular quota of wool
can bee put.

assured thar the Rel cross is not con

Pie Supper a Success.

The pie and box supper which was
given at White Oak school No: 2,
with Miss Ruth Smith as teacher,
was a great success.
The program which consisted Of
musical numbers on the Victrola and
Mrs. Hedges vocal solos accom-
panied by Mrs. Lyon at the organ
and Miss Mabel Horner's readings
was much enjoyed and appreciated.
Miss Horner gave very interesting
talk on the buying Of the thrift
and war stamps. The proceeds
amounted to about $S5. All was
donated to Red Cross except SO
which was paid on the school Vic
trola. Miss Homer was given the
cake as being the most popular
young lady present. The cake
brought about $56.
The teacher and pupils of White
Oak school feel very grateful to Mr..
Wade of Weldon, who was auction
eer. He did the auctioneering free
of charge as most of the proceeds
went to Red Cross.

What DO You Think of This:

Some friends sends us a copy of
the Christian News, published at Des
Moines, in which "The Rambler
signing the initials of J. T. N. SUP
posed to be Jas. T Nichols, who
recently delivered a war lecture at
spleen at the. people of Leon. Mr..
nichols is evidently sore at the
Christian church and citizens of
Leon, probably because more OF
them did not hear his lecture at soc.
per, and had his true character been
known it is probable that he, would
not have been permitted to lecture
in Leon at all.
Friday evening, March Is, was
spent at Leon where Bro. Edwin
Hignett has been pastor for a, year;
Bro. and Sister Hignett are splendid
workers and are soon to go to Early
Chapel, near Earlham They will
do great work there and the Early
Chapel folks are to be congratulate
ed upon securing the services OF
such splendid workers.
! The town Of Leon is going to the
devil as rapidly as any Iowa town
the Rambler has visited lately. A
beautiful little city with more than
1000 people and yet less than 300
people are regular attendants in all
the Bible schools of the town, so
was told. Dancing is taught in the
public schools and everybodys knows
sthe dance is an enemy of the church.
Where the interest in the dance in
creases the interest in the church de-
creases. The people in Leon seem
to be more interested in sc. pic
ture show or card party than in a
lecture on patriotism or war.
The redeeming feature, however,
is the fact that there are a few Of
the best people than can be found
anywhere in Leon. Our small con-
gregation has some of them. These
people are the hope of that whole
community. If some hustling
preacher who can live on a small
salary and is not afraid of the devil
will simply go into that town with
hammer and tongs and denounce
these devils that are running the
town something might be done.
One good man tried it and became
so disheartened that he is not in the
min istry at present. Who will go
after Leon as Jesus went alter the
men and women who were serving
the devil in his day?
