MUCH KNITTING DONE FOR BOYS
 DURING APRIL

There was recently published a list of the work done by the north western division of the Red Cross in providing socks, sweaters and other knitted goods for the boys at the front. This list was given in its entirety and no segregation made as to the various sources from which they came. Many shipments were made from Fairbanks, and today there is published a complete list
 The complete returns to the Red Cross for the month of April from the Woman's Bureau of the Panama Valley Red Cross Chapter are as follows:
 271 pairs of socks.
 "A sweaters.
 POP hospital bags.
 A knitted wash cloths.
 10 convalescent spreads.
 handkerchiefs.
 pair moccasins.
 If shipment of wool which ar rived in Cordova March l, and has been delayed in transit so that it has net even yet reached Fairbanks, had arrived when planned, much more could have been accomplished by the Chapter, for all the branches have been handicapped by the short age of yarn. However, the showing is a splendid one as it is, and the wool now en route should arrive here next week, surely. This will be the last until the first boat from St. Michael reaches Fairbanks.
 It will be remembered that 25O,000 pairs of socks are needed by the northwestern division of the Red Cross before September first. The local Chapter set 1000 pairs as the approximate share of this Chapter. on per capita basis. But it looks now as though this quota would be largely "oversubscribed," if the pace of 271 pairs month is kept up.

An International
 Anthem

The words of this International Anthem were written by Charles Huntington and were first sung to music composed by Mrs. Hattie Lam bert Waiienstein at dinner given by the American Peace and Arbi. tration League in honor of President Taft. Feb. 22, 1913.
 Soon after the great war began in 1914 the anthem was heard in St. Paul's cathedral, London, to the tune of My Country Iris of Thee" and God Save the King"
 Major General J. F. Bell. com manding the national army canton. ment at Camp Upton, L. l.. called attention to the anthem in letter published in the New York Times. He also recommended the singing of the song at public gatherings as a means of encouraging the cordial relations between the United States and Great Britain.
 Two Empires by the Sea, Two Nations great and free. One anthem raise.
 One race of ancient fame, One tongue. one faith we claim. One God, whose glorious name
 We love and praise. What deeds our fathers wrought. What battles we have fought.
 Let Fame record.
 Now vengeful passion cease. Come victories of Peace. Nor Hate nor Pride's caprice Unsheath the sword.
 Though deep the sea and wide, 'Twixt realm and realm it's tide
 Binds strand to strand. So be the gulf between Gray coasts and islands green With bonds of Peace serene
 And Friendship spann'd. Now may the God above Guard the dear lands we love, Both East and West.
 Let love more fervent glow. AS peaceful ages go,
 And strength yet stronger grow, Blessing the blest. Jupiter has eight moons" Gee whiz! Fancy escorting girl under eight of 'em!"

The method of extracting the fibre is simply to boil the weeds in lye and then in water mixed with rice bran, after which the released fibre Is bleached. The whole process is so simple as to be easily possible for fishermen and farmers living near the sea.
 MT. Hamada claims that the fibre in every respect is better than cot. ton.

A WORD ABOUT
 KNITTING NOW
 A GOOD SUBJECT
(From The Point of View)

That English or German or Italian or French women-we remember al ways Madame Defarge and her friends in Dickens Tale of Two Cities, knit ting menacingly through the French Reyolution-should take to this most domestic of activities seems natural enough, but that the volatile Ameri. can woman should dedicate herself so enthusiastically to the ancient and honorable game of the needles must be an exquisitely soothing sight to the harassed men of the country who so consistently expect ed the worst of their womenkind. Once more the American woman, un- gallantly styled "the American Peril" by MT. Michael Monahan, has proven her we'll earned title to adaptability. But of course, while subscribing to the basic laws of the art of knit ting, the American woman puts her own cachet on her work. She knits after her own fashion and with her national imperiosity. She knits with an eclat, fervor, publicity, which we believe to be without parallel in the history of all time. That feminine energy. translated into terms of knitting, means millions literally-of useful garments for our soldiers and sailors.
 American social leaders may be seen almost anywhere, at any hour of the day or night, purling or rib ping or casting off or on. Young people, to whom hand knitting was a tradition of pioneer days, have taken to the art like the proverbial duck to water, and promenade the streets weighted down with enor- mously and gayly colored work bags containing embryonic knitted gar ments for the comfort of the boys at the front.
 Hitherto severe and unyielding high-church clergy reconcile war and Christianity by sanctioning knitting during the sermon, and the hank" of yarn and the long bone needles now go decorously to service. Even the subdued light of the movies" offers no obstacle to the expert weaver of socks, and while fascinat- ed eyes follow the chaotic fortunes of screen stars, nimble fingers con- tinue agilely to manipulate the white needles festooned with loops of gray yarn.
 | It is indeed obvious that knitting has its own potent, if unexciting. Vaccinations. Women are continually telling you plaintively that, once started on a piece of work, they cant put it down." And history teaches us that it is not only wo- men who experience the thraldom of the art of knitting. Man has. from time to time, shown himself covetous of woman's theoretically ex- elusive prerogative of yielding the needles.

YOUNG SPEAKER
 DELIVERS GOOD
 TALK FOR BOYS

On the juvenile program given last night at Thorne's appeared the name of Miss Larue Carter, who made an address that was worthy of publi- cation. It was touching talk and made with an earnestness that would do credit to an older and more expert enced person. The address given by Miss Carter is as follows:
 Ladies and Gentlemen:
 My mother and father are true and loyal Americans. I realize that am not old enough to understand many things about the great war and the causes leading up to it. but I do understand that my parents and all the good people know and have talked with would not be work. ing as they are day and night, to raise money and make comfortable clothing for the American soldiers if such acts were not necessary to ac- complish some great and good pur. pose.
 Hanging in the window of my mothers shop. just across the street from this theatre, is service flag with four stars in it. Mother tells me that it means that four persons who are near and dear to her and to me are in the military service of the United States and may give up their lives for our country. Have you any dear ones doing like ser vice? If you have, then you can understand what this war means to you and to me; then you can under stand why we want the soldiers made as comfortable as possible. If you have no dear ones in the ser vice, won't you do something to helI ours? Maybe many brave soldiers have no dear ones to help them. not even to cheer them with letter from home. Then why cannot you cheer them by loaning your money to Uncle Sam and showing them that you are their friend The Am erican soldier does n not want your pity; he needs and wants your help The man who wants pity is not fit tC be a soldier.
 "Ex.President Taft said that the man who has money and refuses te spend it in aid of our government al this time is unfit to be an American citizen.
 Let us all join in one mighty eff fort to aid our government in ever, way possible, so that as a result the time will not be long before ser vice flags will disappear and in theil places will be seen the Star Span gled Banner, and across its face will be written that magic word-vIC TORY.

and preach frightfulness' as duty.
These are some of the things which
Liberty Bonds mean, and unless you
buy to the utmost of your power you
become a Stacker, and a Stacker,
whether financially or physically, is
a co-worker with the men guilty Of
all these beastly crimes.
Which do you choose? '".>
Will you stand by America and it's

Will you stand by our devoted Al
lies? .'
Will you stand by outraged France
and Belgium and Italy and Serbia
by buying Liberty Bonds; Or,
Will you be false to all that is
sacred on earth, false to man and
Heaven? ..s.
There is only one true answer pos
sible, and deep down in your heart
you should make your answer before
Almighty God, and vow:
81 will buy Liberty Bonds to the
last dollar I can invest for world
salvation from German damnation."

HEAVEN OR HE'LL,
FREEDOM OR SLAVERY:

Which Do You Choose?
Liberty Bonds stand for freedom
and Heaven.
Germany stands for slavery and
hell.
Which will you have?
Germany is fighting to .enslave
mankind and make of all the world a
hell under German domination.
America and our Allies are fighting
to save human freedom and make a
Heaven on earth.
The battle is on; we will have one
or the other.
To the extent that you back our
nation in every way in your power
and buy Liberty Bonds to the ut
most stretch of your ability you are
working for freedom and Heaven.
To the extent that you fail to do
your share you are helping Germany
in its effort to enslave mankind in
an earthly hell, ruled by the vilest
brutes that earth ever knew.
You cannot shirk your individual
responsibility without being TRAITOR
to your country, a traitor to every
soldier who has offered his life to
save you and yours, a traitor to out
ragged womanhood, traitor to God
and to all mankind.
No one else can do your duty.
If you knew that the Liberty Loan
would be oversubscribed hundred
fold, your duty to subscribe would
be just as great as though you knew
the needed amount would not be
raised.
What others do does not relieve
you from your responsibility any
more than the religion of your neigh
Dor relieves you from the RESPONSE
oility of a religious life, nor any
more than the protection by a neigh
Dor of his family through life insur-
ance releases you from obligations
to protect your family in the same
way.
In buying Liberty Bonds you are
helping to buy liberty for our coun-
try and all manind.
In buying Liberyt Bonds you are
protecting your loved ones from the
fearful crimes wreaked by savagery
upon the women and children of
Belgium and France.
In buying Liberty Bonds you are

standing by the millions of our be-
loved boys who over in Europe are
being blinded and manned and muir
dered in your defense and mine.
In buying Liberty Bonds you are
doing infinitely more than making
the werld safe for democracy, for
you are helping to make the world
safe for your wife and your daughter
and your mother, and the millions Of
other women whose honor would be
gone if once the German beast broke
down the barriers of armies and
.navies which have stood between US
and a "made in Germany" hell, or
a "made in hell" Germany.
In buying Liberty Bonds you are
making it possible for civilization to
beat back barbarism, for Christian
ity to drive back atheism, for the civ
ilized nations to punish the murder
ers, the outragers, the manglers of
babies, the highwaymen, the looters,
the freebooters the destroyers of
temples, the wreckers of cities, the
"bully" of the world, the only peo-
pie who glory in war as holy thing
