The Northern Division Red Cross
headquarters, 202 Essex building,
Minneapolis, Mimi, has been chosen
by the Red Cross as the location for
the first experimental station to be
established by the organization. All
patterns for Red Cross refugee and
hospital garments will be submitted
to this station before their adoption
by the Red Cross.
This selection of the Northern
division is a recognition by Wash
tngton headquarters OF the splendid
work done by women in Minnesota,
Montana, North and South Dakota,
the states Of the division.
At a. conference in Washington In
which the records Of women's work
for the thirteen Red Cross divisions
Of the United States were examined,
it was decided to establish an expert
mental station. Today Mrs. F. L.
Er1dley, Northern division director
of women's work, received q formal
notice that the station would be To-
Gated In Minneapolis as soon as the
Red Cross has been placed upon q
war footing.
Mrs. Bridley, assisted by Mrs.
Bradford Wall, has revised many Of
the patterns first suggested for hos
pital and refugee garments and has
produced othera the adoption Of
which has caused considerable saw
ing in material for the Red Cross.
The experimental station Will open
some time within the next fortnight.
After sthat, not only will all patterns
suggested for Red Cross work be
passed upon in Minneapolis before
their adoption, but also all patterns
used for any garment work by the
Red Cross must be approved by the
experimental station staff before its
issuance by the various pattern COM
panies as the official Red Cross
standard.
More Socks Needed.
Cass county fell short Of its regular
quota Of $500 pairs Of socks for the
month Of June by 23Q pairs and if
this shortage Is to be made up and
the full amount Of the July quota
supplied, there must be a united eff
fort on the part Of all knttters in the
county. These workers must be re-
minded that in spite of summer va
cations the war still goes on and the
demand for these knitted articles
does not decrease. Persons who are
able to knit and who are not associat-
ed with Red Cross associations
should Immediately get in touch with
the chapter officials and pledge them
selves to do their share in helping to
supply the 273O pairs that should be
turned into division headquarters by
August.

"The farmers that has been twice

faith in the winter killing off of the

stick to the reduced acreage, with
