plan has been devised by which
women can save their odds and ends
of wool threads and make them useful
in their country's service Even very
short bits of wool can be- utilized in
knitting blocks for a wool covering for
soldiers cots The books are to be
six inches SQUARE 1t is necessary that
the size be kept exact and uniform, so
that the blocks made by different per-
sons will readily fit when the quilt is
set together. Wool is so scarce and SO
expensive that it is most unwise to
waste any of it. Small pieces may be
raveled out and the threads knit into
the blocks
At a club meeting recently Mrs Lee
Monroe brought her knitting with her
and showed the work to the members.
explaining the plan for the blocks.
She was knitting a border in which
short bits of threads were being used.
The plan for making the blocks was
presented some time ago. and good
many of the Topeka women have be-
come interested in it. Mrs w. w.
Kitchell suggested that the work be
taken up in Topeka, and good many
blocks have been made and sent to
her, and she and others interested will
see that they are put together and
made useful
The wool coverings are especially
good for hospital cots. inasmuch as it
is especially imperative that the sick
and wounded soldiers be kept warm.

siderate of you in accepting invita-
lions from other young men so often.
You should not expect to mOnopolize
her entirely; and at times when it is
impossible for you to escort her to
some entertainment which you know
she would enjoy, it would be very
courteous of you to ask one of your
friends to take her. Nevertheless, she
certainly is allowing herself too much
liberty, and you have a right to OBJ
ject. 1 you have any doubt as to
her affection for you, you had better
end the engagement. If you think
she is merely impatient of restraint,
you might try the plan of going with

for $50 and a doll for $40 at a Red
Cross benefit auction sale Tuesday
night in Granville.
Mrs Charles Kleinhans is chairman
of a committee of Granville people
interested in Red Cross work. Mrs
Walter BeeleY is treasurer of the
committee. The Granville auction
party cleared $500, and the remark
able feature of it is. that the money
came out of the pockets of the Grant
Vile people, and not from visitors. A
committee of solicitors gathered to-
gether the articles to be sold; these
including dairy products, fowls,
baked and canned goods. Belgian
hares etc. The doll dressed as a Red
Cross nurse was sold, turned back to
be resold. until a sum of $40 was
made Tho rooster that brought $50

The fact of the matter is that the
automobile has come to fill such
definite part in the conduct of every
business and of every household that it
is difficult to tell just where the divid-

comes.

These are but a few of the many
uses to which the automobile are being
put in these days of efficient business.
But in every case they are time savers
and that means money saved. In the
final analysis aperSon will find that the
auto is really more used in connection
with business than pleasure, the latter
being merely incidental after the days
work is over.
