BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

The day that used to be termed the
"ever-glorious Fourth" has passed and
the net result in Manchester as IN
other places, is quieter nerves, greater
determination and more satisfaction.
The Fourth has usually meant ex-
plosives. red fire and hilarity but there
was an entire absence of the usual
celebration. This does not mean that
the day means less than formerly, for
it was universally celebrated but by
indulpement in those things that MN
ister to the intellectual and spiritual
rather than to the frolicsome sides OF
our character, to things that build up
and are worth while instead OF to
those that tear down. While there
may be a return to the former method
after the war, it is to the credit OF tins
community and others in this great
country of ours that we are sane ana
safe. are conserving our resources Tor
the long road ahead and should there
be no long road, the experience Will
have been of inestimable value but
there is nothing on the horizon to IN
dicate that there will be no long road
The boys in France celebrated the
Fourth by the use of the proper
amount of explosives all along the
i line even though the day at home was
as one policeman in nearby city de-
scribed it, painfully quiet" but thai
same quietness may be of great por
tent to the Germans and the principle
that might makes right.
1t has been realized that sooner o.
later some plan must be made effectiv'
to cure the evils growing out OF tn
unregulated recruiting of labor, re
, sulting in an enormous waste, whereof,
employers competed against eacl
other and against the government 10

The patriotic meeting arranged by
the Board of Trade was a decided sue
cess Mr.. Archibald presided in his
usual able manner and read the
Declaration of Independence impress
sively. The speeches of Lieut. Gov
Roger w. Hulburd and Hon. Fuller Z.
Smith were of a high order and were
thoroughly enjoyed. The delightful
weather and the great attractions Of
fered brought out large crowd from
all over this end of the county. Music
by the Manchester Union Band and
the singing conducted by Mrs. W. "A
Griffith were pleasing features of the
exercises, and close and exciting bal
game ended a perfect day.

Meade County news., 1918-01-24

Above is the picture of lad wear
ing q knitted sweater, helmet and long
wrlsted mits of the regulation sort
made for the soldiers. He has Joined
the ranks of knitters for the Red Cross
and will occupy himself, during his
spare time from school duties, with
this and other work that he is able to
do for the benefit of our fighting men.
When the spring comes it is planned
to give thousands Of youths from fif-
teen to twenty-one, work in the fields
and gardens. In the meantime boys
big and little are knitting, making
trench torches, canvassing for yearly
members of the Red Cross and prov
Ing themselves "men among men" in
war work.
Helmets, mitts and scarfs are usu-
ally knitted, but women who are un-
familiar with knitting and accustomed
to the crochet hook, may make equally
good ones. A clever method of join
ing the knitted sweater (when it is
finished) along the sides has been in
troduced by some resourceful mind
lately. Yarn in a contrasting color is

used for sewing the straight edges to-
gether so that these stitches and no
others may be cut, in case 1t is neces-
sary to open the seams to take the
sweater off, when its wearer is wound
ed. This saves the sweater for future
use. But however carefully all these
garments are made they will wear out
and we must all stick to our knitting
for some time to come.
Another item of comfort for the SOL
diers, that disappears like snow under
the sun, Is the needed trench torch.
Millions Of these have already been
made by school children and millions
more must be made. Then there are
the caps, bootees and other garments
school girls are making successfully.
In planning the work Of the school
children for 1918 it must be given va
riety.
Boys and girls did some efficient
work in selling bonds for the second
Liberty loan and not many of them
will return quite empty handed If they
