THE COUNTRY NEEDS

Economists are facing the pros

is conceded that since so many OF
our young men have gone to the
war, the farms will be short Of hands
when time comes for cultiyating
crops. It is being urged already that
plans must be perfected to get mon
from the towns out into the country
to do the farm work. For years past
the young men OF the country have
drlfted to the towns, and those rear
cd in towns have chosen to stay on
tho streets and engage in such CALI

plain now that duty to themselves
and their country is calling them to

Chapters still seem uncertain
whether they are to continue knit
ting during the spring and summer
months Any chapter member who
could spend a day at the Bureau OF
Supplies and see the tremendous ship
ments OF knit articles being sent to
the Cantonmenis would not wonder
whether chapters were still to con-
tInue knitting, as there are not a
sufficient amount Of knit garments
on hand at the present time to meet
the demands.
Knit garments will be required In
this country until hot weather Gomez
We shall need them for the use OF
our men abroad as long as the war
continues.
We need socks especially for they
wear out more quickly than any
other article and are tremendously
important in keeping the men in con-
dltIon. Remember this division needs
your knitting. Do not let our men

are wondering whether you still must
