Offered to keep open day and
night if necessary to go over the
top with. this requisition.

Council Bluffs chapter has been
completed at the allotted time.

caught the true spirit of the COM
pliment which has been bestowed
on the local chapter and are vying
with one another as to who will
give the greatest number of days
per week to this work.
Pledge cards will be issued for
the registration of names and the
number of days given each week
so that those in charge may know
just how large a force they will
have each day.
The dressings will be packed
and shipped directly for over seas
without the inspection at Des-
Moines.

for in the requisition: Forty-one
