RED CROSS SUPPLIES

Washington, D. C..
That the many millions of Red
Cross knitters may know the plans of
the Red Cross for future knitting,
George E. Scott, acting manager of
the national organization, today issu
ed the following statement:
when the war industries board
some time ago advised the Red Cross
that future production of knitting
yarn would be greatly reduced. we
Immediately commenced to purchase
all yarns suitable for our knitting.
AS a result, we have today in stock
or in order 100000 pounds of yarn
for distribution to our chapters. 1t
is hoped that we may obtain some ad-
dtional yarn from wool unsuitable
for government uses.
"The expected total, however, will
be considerably below the ten mil
lion pounds used last year. While
the total of yarn we can secure is
being determined, we are studying
how to use our supply to produce
only garments which are most es-
sential. When a conclusion is reach
ed we will announce our full pro-
gram of knitting.
I'm addition to this stock of warn,
the Red Cross has on hand 1,6OO,OOO
sweaters, 200 mufflers, 384,OOO
wrlstlets, 228,0O0 helmets, and l.
328,O0O pairs of socks-a total of s.
674,0O0 articles. We are hopeful
therefore that these and such add-
tional garments as we shall be able to
make will enable us to meet the more
urgent requirements of our men dur
ing the coming winter. In this con-
nection it will be interesting to the
know that from September l, 1917
to June 13, 1918 the Red Cross dis
tributed 8,875,0O0 knitted garments
to the Army and Navy of the United
States. During the same period 87O,-
600 knitted articles were sent to the
Red Cross commissioners in France
and Italy for distribution to soldiers,
sailors and civilians.
"At the request of the war indus
tries board, with which the Red Cross
/ works in close cooperation. We have
urged chapters and individual work
ers not to buy wool in the open mar
ket but to secure their materials
through our department of supplies"

A LEAP FOR LIFE

A British Observation balloon, an
chored at the Western front, had it's
cables cut by enemy aeroplanes, and
the balloon scared thousands of feet
upward into the clouds. A writer in
the London Mail, who witnessed the
incident, describes what followed.
from the po.nt where it vanished, he
says, we presently saw one small
spec@, then another, dropping from
the clouds. For some hundreds Of
feet they fell like dead weights, then
parachutes opened, and the specks,
now revealed as men, were steadIcu
in their earthward course, floating
rapidly, but safely, to the ground.
After the balloon got free, they
h:.d destroyed their papers and inscru-
ments, clambered over the side of the
basket, and leaped for life into the
great vold De.ea.h them, trusting that
The parachutes strapped round their
waisLs would open when the should.
Think of that desperate spring into
the vas., gray vapory nothingness be-
meath the Danoon; the feeling of the
men as they made it, uncertain oI
what would happenS the awful SEN
sation of casting yourself blindly
from such an appalling height with
the knowledge that only himsy
piece OF material, which might act
rightly and might not, intervened oc-
tween yourself and crash into the
earth many thousands of feet below
the tense strain of the stone-like drop
through two hundred feet of the void
before the parachute opened, ana
then the anxious mental query, thru
the later stages Of the descent: What
shall l light upon?"-a matter of
supreme consequence that chance gov
erns absolutely. In this case, the men
made a safe landing.

I'VE ARE SOMETHING MORE
THAN A LOT OF STOMAcHS'

Speaking of education reminds us
to say that too many of our people
do not use the schooling they have.
They learn how to read and then
don't read. And to learn how to read
and then fail to read is as bad as to
prepare land for crop and then not
plant it,-or to plant and then not
harvest We not only ought to have a
good library in every school, but il
5hould be enlarged into o community
library, kept open all the year round
The person in charge of this com
munity library should be lover
books, interested not only in getting
children to love reading but interested
also in getting every grown person
IN a community to read the most
wholesome, helpful, and inspiring
books and papers.
And just here we are reminded of
some striking expressions of a
thoughtful man who came into oul
office the other day. "a house with
out pantry or dining-room-wou

claimed. And yet a man ought tc

GIRL! ITS YOUR
STEP THAT ATTRACTS
says Women Pay to Much Heed to
Their Face Instead of
Their Corns.

Watch your step! A brisk, lively
step is what carms more thar lovely
step is what charms more thar lovel,
skin, but your high heels have caused
corns and you limp a little. That's
bad, girls, and you know it. Corns
destroy beauty and grace, besides
corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet Of every corn by ask
ing at any drug store for quarter Of
an ounce of freezone. This will cost
little but is sufficient to remove ever,
hard or soft corn or callus from ones
feet.
A few drops applied directly upor
tender, touchy corn relieves tn,
soreness and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts right out without
pain.
This freezone is a gummy sub.
stance which dries instantly and sim.
ply shrivels up the corn without in
faming or even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
cornless feet create youthful step
which enhances her attractiveness.

Keep stand of your timber crop"
has long been u Progressive Farmer
proverb, and in our travels we are
glad to see an increasing number of
landowners are putting this doctrine
into practice. AS we have so often
said, farmers timber is just as truly
a crop as his corn or cotton, no matter
if one does take years to mature and
the other months; and any farmer
ought to be ashamed to destroy the
stand of his timber crop as the stand
of his corn crop. We are glad to
see evidences that many farmers now
refuse to sell to lumbermen who vio-
late this wisdom.-The Progressive
Farmer.
Common sense is very uncommon.

March 11.-An American private with
Norwegian name, acting as q sentry
In a first line trench, routed single
handed q German patrol of 80 men,
killing the leader. a Prussian sergeant.
The enemy group evidently had
been instructed TO cut the American
barbed wire belt, but their curiosity
was probably aroused by the silence
in the American trenches. It seems
they thought these trenches deserted
and consequently leaped over the par
apet.
The American stood by cody and
made sure that his observation were
correct. Then, without challenging,
he opened fire. The sergeant dropped
at the first SHOT. The others scamp
cred back through the wire.
An American patrol in No Mans
Land heard the firing and opened up,
too, on the fleeing Germans. 1t is be-
lieved several of the enemy raiders
were wounded, as some equipment
found in the traces of their flight is
covered with blood stains.

OF caulkers, which officials of the ship
ping board say is due to the refusal
OF two unions to cooperate has held
up wooden ships on the ways in the
Puget Sound district that are almost
ready to be launched.
The caulkers' union and the Broth
erhood OF Carpenters have been in.
formed of the situation, but without
result. Immediate action is declared
necessary to prevent q tieup of the
Pacific coast program. and there were
intimations last night that the ship
ping beard is prepared for some dras.
tic step IL all other means fail.
William l.. Hutcheson, president of
the carpenters, was told of the need
for caulkers and his attention called
to the unreserved assistance being
given by other ship building unions to
the nation during the war.
Hutcheson. officials say, replied that
his organization had listed thousands
OF trained caulkers whom he would be
glad to mobilize for the nations work
II the shipping board granted his re-
quest for special representation of the
carpenters on the wage adjustment
board.
The caulkers' union of Seattle,
which controls caulkers in the Puget
Sound district, Is said to have refused
apprentices permission to work with
them in order to learn the trade, al.
though the union has only 1S5 mem
bers and at least 600 are necessary

here The announcement of the Wolff
bureau, il true, mas an important bear
ing on the situation in Western Asia
and possibly even in India.
The peace terms forced upon Russia
at Brest-Litovsk took away from Rus

gion through which it would be pos
sible for the Germanic allies to gain
entrance from the Black sea or Turkey
into Persia. Passage through Persia

advance into Afgnanistan would be
possible.
