The VIDETTE
News scarce. Health fairly good.
The weather conditions have been
the worst for many winters. Since
the middle of last week the ground
has not been frozen 50 much, but
was 30 rotten that very little ha ul-
ing could be done. 1t was diff
cult proposition to get fire wood.
Prof. Glen Miller is at home, his
school having been temporarily sus-
pended on account of measles.
1t seems that we are now enter =
ing into the most critical period of
the history of the United States and
it is the duty of every citizen, indi-
vidually, to exert every effort to as
sist in the great struggle. 1t mat
tiers not what our ideas are relative
to the cause of the war or what we
may think about the management
of it, but the property OF our citi-
zens is being destroyed in the United
States, and for our own protection
we should each of us conserve, each
of us should constantly be on the
watch for those scoundre who are
burning and blowing up the property
of the country. We are at war and
may expect these things to be done.
We must feed and clothe ourselves,
also feed and clothe our allies in
THE war. Our supplies are being
drawn on heavily. Now it's up to
rs, individually. to assist in estop-
ping anything that will be destruc-
tive to our supplies of any kind. /
think that everybody should be put
to work loafing should not be
allowed, especially among the class
that we believe are responsible for
the great losses by fire, etc., in the
United Seates. Those that are held
in detention camps in the United
States should be put at moderate
labor until the close of the war.
Treat them humane but make
them feed themselves. We must
conserve. We must be on our guard, ,
We must work as never before in
order that we may fill the obliga-
tons of the United States and that
we may not suffer at home, which
we can do if we will each do our bit.
Yours, Citizen.

Must Sign agreement To
Purchase Flour.

The rule whereby all merchants,
both wholesale and retail must sell
one pound of other cereal with ev-
cry pound of wheat -four is positive
and must be obeyed to the letter.
1t is not a request but definite
command of our government. Any
person who does not willingly con-
form to this rule is not good citizen.
In his selfiishness he is taking bread
from the mouths of our soldiers in
France and the children of Belgium.
The substitutes are corn meal, corn
starch, corn flour, corn grits, bar
ley barley flour, rice, rice -four, oat-
meal, buckwheat flour, potato -four,
soy bean flour, and temporarily
Irish and sweet potatoes. Farmers
having corn which they are having
ground into meal for home use can
secure by signing certificates like
one mailed you. Retailers must sup
ply this certificate for his customers
use. Wholesalers and millers will
sell retailers -four without addition
of other cereals on surrender by re-
tailers these certificates. Your gov
eminent is looking to you to en-
force thislaw. You have behind you
the force and appreciation of our
government writing.

To Red Cross Knitters.

! | have received the following ex-
plicit order direct from headquarter,
asking that Red Cross knitters com
ply with them strictly. I'm having
in published in The "Vidette" with
the hope that all may profit by it.
! | shall be governed by them here,
after in my inspection of knitted
goods.
Dont's for the Knitters of Socks.
DON'T cast on tightly. An 9TH
erwise we'll knitted sock may be-
come useless by having u tight cord
at the top.
DON'T knot your wool. Join the
ends by splicing or by knitting the
end double for two or three inches,
or by running the new end into the
old end with worsted needle which
may be always kept on hand for
this purpose.
DON'T make heel with seam
on the sole, Remember a man may
not have a chance TO change his
socks for many days, and lump
or knot brings a blister. If the
blister breaks, blood poisoning may
set in and result in the loss of foot
or even a life. We cannot afford to
lose our men through negligence or
ignorance.
DON'T use needles too fine for
the wool. The knitting should be
elastic if too tightly knitted the
sock becomes hard and boardlike
in use.
DON'T make a foot less than
eleven inches long.
DON'T hand in socks without
having them washed and ironed.
This makes them softer and more
comfortable to the wearer, and in
sures a certain amount of shrinkage.
hope each one of you will be
careful to do exactly as required.
| should feel very Inundated to
have any work returned.
