HERE'S "RECIPE" FOR
TRENCH CAP KNITTING

# Following a recent request sent out
from Red Cross headquarters for more
trench caps instead OF sweaters and
mufflers. a large number OF Sioux City
women have besieged the central work
rooms with questions as to what ths
trench caps are and how they ars
made.
The trench caps are knitted capn
which are worn under the steel heinlets'
by the soldiers in the trenches. Be-
cause of their warmth and comfort
they are at present needed far more
than sweaters and mufaers as there,
seems to be a fairly large supply Of
these latter articles.
For the benefit of all knitters who,
desire to work on trench caps the fol-
lowing recipe" Is given which the
women are asked to cut out and paste
in their bonnets:
Trench Cap.
No. 8 amber needles pointed. or No
10 steel
Set up 12o stitches. 40 on each needle;
knit 2, purl. 2 for 81 inches; kit one row
plain. Diminish by knitting plain
then together for one row. Knit SIX
plain rows. Knit s plain then togeth-
er for one row, then five plain rows
Repeat 4, 8, until stitches remain on
each needle. Draw your wool through
the stitches and pull up.

4 KlOND|KE TO THE
REAL FARMER
A Western Canada Crop Estimate
ed at $4,000, Makes
$4,000.

Messrs. Harris, formerly Of Audi.
Don, Iowa, wrote the Audubon Advo-,
cate" expressing their satisfaction Of
things in Western Canada. They lo-
Gated at Makepeace, Alberta. They
say there are those who make good,
and those who fail. The former are
those that land agents refer to when
advertising their land. But" contin-
ues the letter, "a great many of the
farmers In this vicinity pay for their
land with their first crop. A man
near here bought section Of land In
the year 1915 for 500 per acre. He
broke 300 acres of the land during the
summer Of 1915. In the fall Of 1915
he threshed 10000 bushels Of wheat,
which paid for his land, all expenses
and had balance Of $4,000. In the
fall of 1917 he threshed nearly as
much OF the other half of the section.
At the present time he would not take
$50 per acre for his land.
"We have had five crops in Alberta,
The two dry years (1914-1917) our
wheat made 20 and 80 bushels to the
acre respectively. In 1915 we raised
80 bushels Of wheat to the acre on
summer fallow. The best results are
obtained by blowing or breaking in
the summer, working it down in the
fall SO that it will retain the moisture.
Thus farming one-half your ground,
each year.
Persons owning land here and still,
living In the States should, lie they
don't feel themselves able to come up
here and finance themselves until they
cor get their first crop, get some of
their land broken and worked down
IN the fall before they come. The
next spring they could come and put
IN the crop. fence and put up their
buildings. This way they have to
wait only one summer for their first
crop.
It = not advisable for person to
come here In the spring, break out
land and put It in crop the first year,
because the moisture is not In the
ground and failure is almost GER
tain unless It is an exceptionally wet
year.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.

New York, Sept 21.-Continued strength in the stock market today with an advance in prices was held in some quarters to reflect a stronger in vestment position. The opinion was emphasized by the bank statement, which showed the expected improve ment in monetary conditions, surplus reserves having increased $10 5S0, $50 during the week. This condition op- erated to the advantage of stock ex- change borrowers, funds being more freely supplied during the week, which caused an expansion of S72,64S, 900 in the loan account.
 The scope of the buying movement was interpreted as indicating some ac- cession of outside orders, which con- tributed to a comprehensive advance in speciaE:es of one to three points. Dealings, however. were largely of a professional character, with more gen. eral buying for the long and short ac- count The sluggishness of railroads in view of he demonstration of strength elsewhere was considered dis appointing to investment interests. Sales amounted to 10000 shares.
 Liberty bonds strengthened after an early interval of heaviness, while for eign issues ruled higher, Paris 6s again breaking into new ground for the movement at 96 1-2. The general bond market was steady. Total sales (par value) were S3,975,O00.

BROWN IS TO PLAY ITS
 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

According to Harry Schumacher in the New York Globe, Brown univer- sity is the latest college to fall in line in an attempt to carry out some sort of football scheduled for the com ing season: Ned Robinson, coach of the Rhode Island institution, came out with the following statement regarding gridiron plans:
 T am completely in the dark" he said, "as to the amount and quality of the material available, but you may depend upon it we'll have q team Of some sort. Out football activities will not be permitted to interfere in any way with our military programme, but the two games were harmoniously maintained last season and I believe that the same working arrangement can be had again this fall
 Tt has always been my belief that football is the finest possible medium for the development of real fighting men, and Browns contributions to the armed forces of our country bear me cut in this contention. A considera- ble majority of the members of our 1915 and '16 teams are holding com missions in some branch of the Ser vice, and many of the players of last years outfit have been equally fortu- nate"

 I can't make any promises about coming home, but will surely let you know beforehand-can't take any chances on the pantry being low.
 We have just seen in some Wash ington papers an article about the unique cup which was presented by the officers and crew of this ship to Mrs. Bryan, wife of it's captain, for her faithful devotion and untiring per sistence in collecting funds to keep us supplied with American tobacco. The article, which I would like to see in The Bulletin, ran as follows:
 Mrs. Bryan, wife of Captain Bryan of the U. s. s. Yamacraw, has on ex- hibition her prize cup presented to her by the officers and crew of said ship for supplying them with tobacco. The cup is very unique, stands 27 inches high, is made of the periscope of a German cruiser submarine cap tured by that vessel; it is encased in silver and lined with gold and bears this inscription: Presented to Mrs. John Bryan by the officers and enlist | ed men of the U. s. S. Yamacraw for | for our smokes"
 Mrs. Bryan recently collected $200 in her cup for our smokes. She says: l ''These boys are curising 5000 miles g month and hold the envious record of not losing a ship since they started on the war zone over a year ago now. This they are doing without a kick CT a grumble to make the seas safe for democracy. So come acriss, so they can smoke; the only pleasure they have.''
 Trust you both are well and happy as I am; the very best of health.
 Love to all.

FANS GET SORE OVER
 ASHLAND TEAM PROMISES

Norwich and other eastern Connec- ticut baseball fans are getting tire d of hearing promises from the Ashland team of Jewett City of Sunday base ball games that are never rlayed. Yes terday they missed fire on the prom ised game with the Groton Iron Works team and on q previous Sunday it was the same die"nno nting experience for big crowd that had assembled.
 The manasement gave the money back to those who had bought tick cts, but on a previous occasion they attempted to pass out rainchecks good the following Sunday. But they came back to the money back" plan when the crowd kicked.
 It's not so much spending the mon ey that the fans say they are kicking about as it is the belief they have that the Ashland people have at times advertised games that they had no reasonable certainty of pulling off. One instance of this is stated in a game that was announced to be played with Fort Terry. Announced baseball cele- brities also have not appeared but have been replaced by local players.
