NOTES

The committee in charge of knit
ting for the Langdon branch of the
Red Cross gives some important sug.
gestions as follows:
Books containing instructions for
Red Cross knitters are now on hand.
Please read them carefully and follow
the instructions given. A sock,
from l34 to ID inches in the leg is
what the division calls for. Longer
than that is not only uncomfortable
to the soldier, but is also a waste of
time and expensive material, Sweaters
twenty three inches long will be
accepted,
About five hundred skeins of yarn are
now in the hands of the knitters of
theL. angdon branch Let US turn in
as much as possible of this knitting
for the next shipment on March 25th

mind Rally Day, March 23rd, at the
Geo. M. Price home. A short pro.
gram will be rendered and light re.
freshments will be served. See mex t

more of the neighboring ladies' will
attend u meetings and take a part

Call on Mrs. A, Peterson for yarn,
and instructions and on Mrs. Henry
Soil for sewing. There are a few
of the younger girls who have been
doing a splendid work and have sever
al sweaters completed to their credit
besides some sewing done and if the
boys have done no Knitting they GER
tainly have a large share in the
financing of the work to their credit,
Surgical Dressings.-The shipment
in surgical dressings from Langdon
for last month was 21S3 dressing
and bandages. This far exceeded
the number expected and most GER
tainly was an excellent showing. In
order to keep the 1000 mark the
interest must not flag. The workers
in all classes are urged to turn out
as faithfully as in the past 80 that
our shipments will not fall far short.
We are asked to ma Ike some new
dressings this month that require
more time so all who will are asked
to come and help.
