Secretary Of the Treasury. McAdoo
urges the purchasers Of Liberty loan
bonds of both the first and second
issues to hold fast to their bonds.
They are the best investment in the
world.
The Secretary's statement was called
forth by the fact that Liberty bond
holders are being approached from time
to time by agents seeking to induce
them to part with their Liberty loan
bonds and take in exchange securities
which, in a number of cases. are of q
very questionable value, and was
prompted by the desire to protect the
bondholders against ill-sdvised DISPOSE
ton of their bonds.
The Secretary expresses the hope
that every purchaser of Liberty bond
will realize that the only genuine help
that he gives his Government is keep
ing his bond as an investment so long
as it is possible for him to do so. He
states, however, that no just objection
lies to the sale of Liberty bond when
real necessity exists for its sale.

Red Cros. Notes.

Our Red Cross Chapter has 2 letter
from Mrs. John Glass, divisional SUPER
intendent of surgical dressings, in which
she compliments US upon the quality of
work we have sent in. In the last two
weeks, we have shipped from this
department l ,26O dressings The gauze
cutter which MIR. Mott sent on from
New York is a little wonder worker,
and is going to increase the possible
output very greatly.
The knitted goods shipped the past
two weeks total as follows 80 sweat.
ers, mufflers, 159 pairs sacks, rs pairs
wristlets, 81 helmets. We are urged
to continue all of the work without any
Stacking up. Rumors have been circu-
lated to the effect that as spring
approaches knitted goods will not be
needed. The Bureau of Military Relief
announces emphatically that such
reports are untrue. The needs abroad
now are in the following order of
Importance Wristlets, socks, helmets,
sweaters, mufflers. The committee in
charge of knitting in the Cresco Chap
ter requests that all knitters Except
those who are knitting socks) lay aside
anything else and knit wristlets for the
next two weeks. Do not, however,
use the yarn which you have taken out
for something else, as you are charged
by the GARMENT, and if you use the
yarn for different article. confusion
in the bookkeeping results.
Sewing circles at Bonair and Schley
deserve special mention for the amount
of work they are doing. In fact, there
are great many splendid workers,
but we need more money. We are
spending about $3.50 per week for
materials, having spent So, 500 for yarn
alone since the organization Of the
chapter. Our treasury is short several
hundred dollars of the amount needed
to meet bills now due. This is a hint
to everybody. Do not wait for the
auction, but 60 to the shop with your
contribution-now.
Comfort bags will be presented to
the soldiers of the last call at the
loyalty meeting at the opera house on
Sunday evening. This meeting is
directly under the auspices Of the Red
Cross, and promises to be an inspiring
occasion.
