Three rescue ships brought the first
batch Of survivors to port and others

are five saloon and seven steerage
passengers.
One hundred and one persons have
persisted. from among the passengers
and crew Of the ship, according to
word reaching here. This places the
death list higher than statements
made by the owning company-the
Red Cross line-which stated that 1876
were aboard the Florizel.

Foundland seamen stoically donned
life belts, piled into puny dories and

BRUNO
From our correspondent
Big Y. NJ. G. A. Day at Bruno

Friday about 300 people gath
cred at the auditorium to spend
a patriotic day together. Prof.
McAdams of Pine City delivered
a very able and interesting
speech. At noon dinner was
served and the proceeds from
dinner were about SOS. At |
o'clock the Askov Band arrived
and gave a band concert until
2 o'clock, when the auction sale
began. Mr.. Atwood began cry
ing the auction and Mr.. Hyatt
assisted him, crying about half
of the time. Both deserve
credit for the good work they
did. So many things were do
mated for the, sale that few of
them were left over till Tues
day evening to sell so the people
could enjoy the band music
from 4:3O to S. Tuesday evening
about 200 people assembled at
the auditorium and listened to
a very nice program prepared
by the Farmers Club, the speak
er Of the evening being Mr.. Cor
win, the County Agent. He gave
a very interesting talk on farm
ing, after which the things that
were left over from Friday we're
sold by Mr.. Atwood at auction.
When Mr.. Atwood got up to be-
gin, Mr.. Markus brought en- egg
which had been laid by hen
Friday while she was waiting to
be sold. He started the egg at
$1.OO and it was sold and resold
till it brought $26. 1t was then
turned over to Mr.. Cook, chair
man of the Red Cross, from who
it may be had. The egg had
printed on it in large letters,
Y. M. c. A. The proceeds from
the auction were $4,000 in all
for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A.
The goodly amount taken in
speaks for the community as to
their loyalty and their interest
in the boys at the front. We
have reason to be proud of the
interest manifested at these two
meetings and thanks are ex-
tended by the Red Cross to all
who so generously gave of their
time money, vegetables, grain,
wood, canned fruit food, ETC.,

which meant much to many Of
the people; and the gift was not
in vain for the blessings shall
return thousand fold to the Civ
er. The Farmers Club served
a lunch Tuesday evening.
There were Is boys guests of
honor in class one of the draft,
who are ready to 60 any minute
to the training camps. Two
boys left Friday evening for
Pine City, who were unable to
be present-Andrew Boo and
Chas. Nesbit.
The neighbor town of Askov
surely deserves credit for the
spirit they manifested. There
were SO people ready to come to
help in the days affair till word
came the No. 10 passenger would
not stop to bring them home, so
they gave up coming, but the
faithful band boys stood and
waited the whole forenoon be-
fore the message came over the
wires that No. 10 would stop and
the boys were ready to take the
train which soon arrived. This
kindly act of the band boys will
not be forgotten by Bruno peo-
pie as they did much to help
make the day a grand success.
Thanks to the boys.

The following, from Important
Items" published by the Southwestern
division of the American Red Cross,
are facts that are interesting to all
the chapters:
Knitting.
THE president has called out anoth-
er army of men. This means hundreds
Of thousands more sweaters-millIons
Of socks. Many knitters have slack
ened their work with the coming OF
spring. Fall seems SO far of that it
is natural to think there is plenty Of
time to get ready for it-but this train
Of reasoning is perilous. The task is
big one. Only the steady day-by-day
work will count-nOt the squirt Of en-
thuSiasm when the pressure comes.
Utilize every moment. Carry your
knitting bags on the street cars or the
farm wagons, or wherever you are.
There will be greater need of knitted
articles next winter than there was
last. 1t is true that yarn has been
hard to get. But much of this short
age can be overcome If none of 1t Is
wasted for any purpose for which
substitute can be found. Let everyone
who can get any OF the yarn for socks
knit socks and let those who can only
get the heavy yarn knit sweaters with
out charge. An arrangement is now
under consideration for the collecting
and refooting of worn socks In order
that there may be no waste.
Chapters should knit in the follow
ing proportions: For one pair wrist
let's knit one muffier, ten helmets, so
sweaters, 100 pair socks. Our men
abroad are in constant need of socks
Knit socks.
From now on the making of quilts
and afghans must positively be dis
continued. No more of either of these

straloht and praped skIrts,


There is a strong struggle going on
this early in the season between the
straight and the draped skirt. Both
are leading fashions and neither one
is new, but the ultra-smart woman in
sists that the draped skirt is better
than the straight one, and she is up
held by many of the dressmakers. On
the other hand, there are hundreds of
women who say that the draped skirt
has been so featured in cheap mate
rails in low-priced gowns that 1t is
exceedingly commonplace. The strug-
gle makes skirts interesting and in
cidentally adds to the confusion of
the season, which has turned out to
be an arena into which hundreds of
fashions have been Unfortunately
thrown.
