Protect Members
From, Solicitors

To protect members from solicitors
for various schemes. other than those
of purely local or patriotic nature. the
Marshalltown Club was today distri-
buting to it's members who are in bust
ness cards for use against solicitors.
These cards, which are a notice to
solicitors, read:
All solicitation for advertising,
donations, subscriptions or gratuities
of any nature not local, and with
which our members are not familiar,
must be censored by the censoring
committee of the Marshalltown Club.
of which we are members. We have
pledged ourselves to abide BY the above
rule"
1t is the purpose of the card and the
censorship committee to protect mer-
chants from the many solicitors who
are always canvassing the retail
stores. The card gives the member who
possesses one the full right to refuse
subscriptions unless the project has
been first approved by the censorship
committee and the solicitor carries
with him the formal endorsement OF
that committee. The plan was first
proposed by the retail trades COM
mittee and worked out by the officers,
For obvious reasons the membership
of the censorship committee is not
made public.

listments UP to June 80. which left a

COOPERATE IN YARN BUYING.
Red Cross and Government Work To-
oether to Lower Cost.

Frank Hibbard director of the bur-
eau Of supplies of the central division
of the Red Cross, has sent out a letter
to Red Cross chair1nen OF the various
chapters, calling attention to the fact
that yarn should not be bought in the
open market. The letter follows:
The American Red Cross and the
federal government are cooperating
in an effort to secure a sufficient sup
ply of yarn to enable the Red Cross to
meet all needs. II this is to be ac-
complished. your cooperation is abso-
lutely necessary. To that end all
chapters in the central division are
now asked to cease buying yarn in the
open market. II the entire supply of
yarn is purchased by the Red Cross. It
will be possible to secure better yarn
and lower prices, as it will do away
with the competition caused by the
various chapters buying in the open
market The same argument against
chapters buying in the open market
applies also to every article used in
making Red Cross supplies. such as
flannel, gauze absorbent cotton, anc
muslin.
"A good deal Of yarn, suitable FOL
socks. is being used in making sweat
ers. This results in increasing the
shortage Of sock yarn. Yarn suitable
for socks should be used for nothing
else. II you are in doubt as to ths
suitableness Of your yarn for socks
submit sample to the supervisor o.
knitting OF the central division. Re
member that socks should be ma df
only of fine soft yarn that contain:
little OF no dye.
"At the present time we have GOOD
supply Of yarn suitable for sweaters
If you have no suitable yarn TO,
socks. send requisition to the bureau o
supplies for sweater yarn. BY the tim'
this yarn is knitted. supply Of socl
yarn will be available"
