TELLS WHY IT
IS NECESSARY
THAT We KNIT

Mrs. Cora Fridley. one Of the primo
ipal speakers at the Red Cross con-
ference held in the city Thursday, in
a clear, concise manner. conveyed to
the women Of the state the reason
why it was essential that knitting
should be pursued.
The yarn that. the Red Cross has
IN hand is too fine for machine knit
ting:;"-&said j Mrs. Fridley. perhaps
o women do mo- know, but an enor-
NOUS amount Of knitting is being
lone in the factories. There is yet a
need Of knitted articles, and it
remains for the women to pick up
again."
The local Red Cross has a large
amount of yarn on hand, which the
womenIof the city may use. Already a
great deal of it has been given out,
but many other knitters are needed.
The knitting which must be done
includes children's> stockings and
of these articles are difficult to make
and any help will be greatly appre-
ciated by the Grand Forks county
chapter. Further information regard
ing this work may be had by calling
Red Cross Headquarters.

more than 100 have been adopted.
The Masonic body adopted 81 orphans
and several other clubs and %organiza-
lions took some. The campaign which
will close on Monday, March "a, is
apparently n of the most interest
ing ever held in Fargo.
