HOW TO MAKE SOCKS
EXPLAINED TO WORKERS

Seattle, Wash, March 1st, 1918.
Chairman Heppner Chapter, Amer
lean Red Cross.
Dear Madam;
We are in receipt of your letter of
February 26. The directions which
we have sent out for socks are intend
ed to be help and not hindrance.
do not know what directions you
have been using heretofore. Socks
should be of soft, rather loose tex
ture such as Is obtained when thirty
stitches measures four and one half
inches as is described in the first par
agraph Of our last sock directions.
The leg should be about four and a
half inches all the way down, and ten
and half to eleven inches long. The
heel may be either the strap heel or
the angular heel. The heel should
not be made SO long that the sock is
too wide through the instep. The
IOOt SnOul0 De tne same W1dtn as the
leg or little less and should measure
when finished eleven inches. A sill
ght variation in length is all right.
The new directions for the Kitchener
toe aim at exactly the same thing as
the old ones and anyone may follow
whichever he chooses. The thread to
make the Kitchener toe can go just
one way no matter how it is describ-
ed.
Thanking you for your coopera-
ton, we remain,
Very truly yours,
MRS. JOHN H. POWELL.

CHAPTER I'll.
I Go to Church.

Upon enlistment we mad identity
disks issued to US. These were small
disks of red fiber worn around the neck
by means Of string. Most Of the Tom
mics also used little metal disk which
they wore around the left wrist by
means of a chain. They had previous
ly figured it out that If their heads
were blown off, the disk on the left
wrist would identify them. If they lost
their left arm the disk around the neck
would serve the purpose, but II their
head and left arm were Blown of, no
one would care who they were, so 1t
did not matter. On one side Of the
disk was inscribed your rank, name,
number and battalion, while on the
other was stamped your religion.
G. of E., meaning Church Of Eng
land; R. c., Roman Catholic; w, Wes-
leyan; p. Presbyterian; but If you
happened to be an atheist they left 1t
blank, and just handed you a pick and
shovel. On my disk was stamped @. OF
e. This is how got it: The lieuten-
ant who enlisted me asked my religion.
I was not sure of the religion Of the
British army, so I answered, "Oh, any
old thing" and he promptly put down
G. of e.
Now, Just imagine my hard luck. Out
of five religions was unlucky enough
to pick the only one where church
parade was compulsory
The next morning was Sunday. I
was sitting in the billet writing home
to my sister telling her Of my wonder
full exploits while under fre-all re-
cruits do this. The sergeant major put
his head in the door Of the billet and
shouted: 70. of e. outside for church
paradel"
I kept on writing. Turning to me. In
a loud voice, he asked, "Empey, aren't
you @. Of E.T
I answered, "Yep."
In an angry tone, he commanded,
"Dont you yep me. Say, Yes, ser.
geant major"
81 did so. Somewhat mollided, he
ordered, "Outside for church parade"
I looked up and answered, II am
not going to church this morning"
He said, "Oh, yes, you are"
I answered, "Oh, no. I'm notP-But
I went.
We lined up outside with rifles and
bayonets, 12O rounds of ammunition,
wearing our tin hats, and the march
to church began. After marching about
FIVE kilos, we turned of the road Into
an open field. At one end Of this deld
the chaplain was standing in a timber.
We formed a semicircle around him.
Overhead there was black speck cir
cling round and round in the sky. This
was a German Fokker. The chaplain
had book in his left hand-left eye
on the book-right eye on the airplane.
We Tommies were lucky, we had no
books, so had both eyes on the air
plane.
After church parade we were
marched back to our billets, and played
football all afternoon.

Grow More Legumes.

Each year our New England farmers
are better sppreciating the fundamental
principle that good agriculture means
liberal use OF legumes. None OF our
county bureau leaders seem to grasp 1t
better then A. G. Davis of Merrimsck
county, N. 81. In bis recent annual re-
port he says:
No new alfalfa demonstrations were
started this year because We were ex.
csedingly busy with garden work and
farmers were doing their best to care
for the increased acreage Of corn and
potatoes. All of tho demonstrations
started in 1915 and 1915 are doing well,
with one exception, and that is losing
the fight with witch grass. They all
show the absolute necessity of inocu.
lation and using lime, and the Grimm
variety is still showing its superiority
over the deep rooted or common va
riety. ,
This year for the first time We induced
some of our dairymen to grow soy beans
for silage, and We are pleased to say
that good results were obtained. These
demonstrations were located in Henniker
and Colcord on soil that Ia
typical OF much of our Aerrimack
county soil. They show that IL Is nec-
sssary to inoculate and to lime, II we
are to obtain the most economical re-
suits. but In two cases the soy beans
grew well on we'll. .manured soil, where
inoculation failed because Of soil acidity.
We believe more dairymen OF the
country will raise more soy beans next
wear to reduce the cost Of the protein In
the feed.
Many acres of oats and peas were
raised this year by farmers who cut their
oats for fodder, and In this way they
have greatly increased the amount OF
protein In the hay. Every help of this
kind will be greatly appreciated this
winter when grain 10 high, for the grain
ration can be greatly reduced II clover,
alfalfa, vetch, soy beans, etc., are avail
able for rougbage.
We also have had two excellent dem.
monstratiops Of winter vetch raised
with winter wheat or winter rye, and
much interest 10 being shown In this
crop In different parts OF the county
We are much pleased to note this inter
est, for vetch will grow on many OF the
poorer soils and has great possibilities d
soil builder.
As summary of al our demonstra-
ton work with iegume crops, We can
say that there 10 . greatly increased In
terest in al psrts Of the county whicf
are being reached by our work. W.
can see that the acreage OF clover II
particular is being greatly increased eacf
year, and that there Ia slow yet steady
movement for more legumes OF al
kinds. This 10 one OF the most on
coursging results Of our work In thu
county, for soil problems and feeding
problems will be greatly simplified whel
our legume acreage 10 doubled.

CHAPTER ". rsF.
1Into the .Trench.n

The next morning the draft was hs.
spected by our general, and we were
assigned to different companies. The
boys in the brigade had nicknamed
this general Old Pepper. and he Ger.
tainly earned the sobriquet. I was as
signed to B company with another
American named Stewart.
For the next ten days we rested"
repairing roads for the Trenches, drill
ing, and digging bombing trenches.
One morning we were informed that
we were going up the line, and our
march began.
It took us three days to reach re-
serve billets-each days march bring
Ing the sound Of the guns nearer and
nearer. At night, way of in the dis
tance we could see their flashes, which
lighted up the sky with red glare.
Against the horizon we could see
numerous observation balloons or "sau-
sages" as they are called.
On the afternoon Of the third days
march I witnessed my first airplane
being shelled. A thrill ran through me
and gazed in awe. The airplane was
making wide circles in the air, while
little puffs of white smoke were burst
ing all around it. These puffs appeared
like tiny balls Of cotton while after;
each burst could be heard q dull
"plop." The sergeant Of my platoon.
informed us that 1t was a German air
plane and wondered how he could tell
from such a distance because the plane
seemed like little black speck in the
sky. I expressed my doubt as to
whether 1t was English, French or Ger
man. With a look Of contempt he fur
ther informed US that the allied anti
aircraft shells when exploding emitted
white smoke while the German shells
gave forth black smoke, and, as he e1-
pressed It, 1T must be an Allemand be-
cause our pom-poms are shelling, and
I know our batteries are not OF their
bally nappers and are certainly not
strafeing our own planes, and another
piece of advice-don't chuck your
weight about until you've been up the
line and learnt something"
Immediately quit "chucking my
weight about" from that time on.
Just before reaching reserve billets
we were marching along, laughing, and
singing one of Tommy's trench ditties:
I want to 60 home. want to 60 home.
I don't want to 60 to the trenches NO

Where sausages and whixs-bangs are ga

Oh, my. don't want 70 die,

when overhead came a "swish" through
the air, rapidly followed by three 9TH
ers. Then about two hundred yards to
our left In a large field, four columns
Of black earth and smoke rose into the
air, and the ground trembled from the
report explosion Of four German
flve-nine's, or scoalboxes." A sharp
