'The hours I spend on thee, dear sock,
Are as, a string of purls to me;
First two I knit, then two purl,
And round the leg I slowly reel;
Now joyful paeans in the heavens

O, stitch that dropped, uneven row;

To reach the toe, o Lord, to reach

The Savings Stamp Drive.

Returns from the statewide War
Savings Stamp Drive which ended last
Saturday indicate that the campaign
was q success in counties where the
drive was put on. Slow returns make
it impossible at this time to tell just
what the total sales and pledges
amounted too but Homer A. Miller,
state director, has expressed himself a.
satisfied with the result. r.-<
Stamp sales for the week ending
May q, the last figures available, show
that the state is beginning to hit its
stride in the sale of stamps. Total
sales for the week amounted to $95S,
Ol4.24, the largest week in the history
of the campaign. During the week,
the postoffices of the state sold $685., :
723. SO while the banks sold 1922, 29O. rs
worth. For the postoffices this repre-
sents sales of $S4S, 7O5 more than for
the week ending April 27. The bank
sales were $233, 439.12 more than they
were for the week ending April q.
Shelby, Hardin, Plymouth, Black
Hawk, Floyd and Marion Counties
already are lover the top and final
returns from the weeks drive will add
many other counties to the list, In
some localities where sales have been
kept close to the required schedule, no
drive was put on. This was due to the
fact that the farmers are busy in their
fields. In these counties the drives will
be staged the latter part of June or
early during the month of July.

Do Not Use Barberry!

The tall, common, barberry shrub
should never be used for ornamental
planting, says G. C. Jones, Special
Agent U. S. Department of Agriculture,
VIII was in the city last week in the
endeavor to ascertain if there were any
of the above shrubs IN the city.
The common European barberry is
an ornamental shrub used for hedges,
group paintings, etc. The objection
to the shrub is that it spreads the black
stem rust of wheat. This rust was
responsible for the loss of 200, OOO, 600
bushels of wheat in 1916, and since we
have a very large acreage of wheat
this year we must be careful to remove
all causes which tend to destroy the
wheat crops. The common barberry
has light grey bark and is character
lied by having from three to five sharp
spines rrotruding from the stems.
The leaves may be either green or
purple and have little teeth on their
margins
The small spores (roughly seeds) of
the rust fungus appear upon the bar
berry in the spring and in about five
days a generation of spores are pro-
duced which 60 directly to the wheat
and cause the destruction.
The Dwarf or Japanese barberry is
not attacked by the rust and may be
planted at will. 1t has a dark green
foliage and bright red berries through
out the bush. There are single spines
along the stems and the leaves are
smooth along the margins.

School Junior Red Cross Fees.

Some misunderstanding concerning
the Junior Red Cross Fees has been
reported from one of the rural districts,
and may need an explanation in other
parts of the county. People are won
dering why the full amount raised at
the school sociables is not reported as
donated to the American Red Cross
Chapters This is because the Junior
Red Cross fee is deposited in the school
fund and the remainder is donated to
the Chapter.
The American Red Cross has made a
special effort to organize every school,
public, private and psrochial, in the
United States as a Junior Red Cross
Auxiliary. The purpose of this organ
ization is threefold: ~ Service for the
community and nation, (2) Citizenship
training, (3) Thrift and conservation.
Although these have always been the
great aims Of the schools, they have
failed in q large extent to reach these
aims, and the Junior Red Cross Organ
ization is wonderful opportunity for
such training.
To become unior Auxiliary q school
must pay fee Of twenty-five cents per
pupil enrolled. This fee is deposited in
the Chapter School Fund and may be
drawn upon by any individual school
for Red Cross supplies and materials
to be used by the pupils of that school,
to the amount paid in by that particular
school. If your school raised, for
instance, $4,000 and the amount
reported by the American Red Cross
was only $500 or thereabouts, you
may know that the difference is the
amount of the School Fee for your dis
trist and is deposited with the Chapter
School Treasurer. Miss Bertha Hal
veg, Deputy County Superintendent,
is the school treasurer of the Cresco
Chapter, and complete report of these
funds may be found in this Office. As
soon as the fees are deposited and the
application approved by the Chairman
of the School Committee and the
Division Office, the school is presented
with large Junior Auxiliary Certifi-
cate, and each pupil with Red Cross
pin. %.
Only few schools in the county have
not organized as Junior Auxiliaries,
and We shall be disappointed if our
! EsntYris rot loeaper cent. oeis ssnnad q
the close of the, school year. We are
proud of the work many of these Aux
iliaries have already done and look for
ward to every school in the county

beginning of the next school year, Sep
