ONE THOUSAND
KNITTERS READY
But They Can't Go to Work Because
the Supply of Yarn Has
Gone Into Work and
Been Exhausted.

One thousand knitters, five hun
dred in Keokuk and five hundred in
rural districts outside the city, are
waiting for yarn. They want TO knit
for the Red Cross.
But they can't at present This is
because the supply of yarn at the
Red Cross shop is low. It's almost
all gone. The Keokuk Red Cross
chapter has tried to replenish the
stock, but orders for more yarn have
been sent to headquarters in vain.
No quota has been named for some
time and knitters are only allowed TO
work on quotas. An effort has been
made to buy yarn in keokuk, but the
effort was unsuccessful There is
yarn in Keokuk, but the owners have
refused 20 sell it.
Now the reason why the knitters
haven't been given yarn is not be-
cause the Keokuk Red Cross chapter
hasn't tried to get it 10 distribute.
The yarn and raw wool situation is
SO acute that the authorities at Wash
ington have been obliged to step in
in the matter and endeayor TO regu-
late not only the price, but the sup

Word has come back from Red
Cross headquarters in Chicago that
no yarn is being sent to chapters at
present for knitting purposes. But
this is added:

are not going TO"
