ANY CONCRETE EVIDENCE OF FRAUD IS WANTED Any concrete évidence that sweat- ers or other garments, made by the Red Cross workers for soldiers, are being sold to soldiers or others out- side the military life, would be most cordially welcomed at the Northern Division headquarters. Scores of rumors. reach the head- quarters every day. Attempts have been made to trace these stories to their source repeatedly but never has a fragment of truth been dis- covered. As a rule the stories séem to start when Mrs. Jones tells Mrs. Smith that she has heard that soldiers are compelled to pay $10 for sweaters. Always it is $10, no more and no less, and always.it is for a sweater. Smith meets Mrs. Brown and tells her that Mrs. Jones knows of a sol- dier who has paid $10 for a sweater. Mrs. Brown tells Mrs. White that [ Mrs. Jones has a letter from a sol- dier tening how he paid $10 for a sweater, and Mrs. White comes out with the completed story, which usually finds its way to Red Corss headquarters, to the effect that Mrs. Jones had a letter from her son in France, announcing that he paid $10 for a Red Cross sweater that Mrs. Mrs. N.

Mrs. Jones declares she never had a son or if she had one that he is mnot in the service. Probably she has for- gotten absolutely ever talking to Mrs. Smith. If she remembers it, it is only that she read somewhere that soldiers were buying Red Cross sweaters and questioned further is willing to admit that she don’t re- member if she read that soldiers were actually paying, or if it was a denial of the rumor that Red Cross garments are being sold that she read. It seems the easiest thing in the world to find a soldier who has paid for a Red Cross sweater, but let an investigator once take the trail and the soldier and the sweater vanish in thin air. It is easy to start such a story, the hardest thing in the world to find a single fact in the rumor. Get a 1918 desk calendar pad now at the Pioneer office. 106tf Grant 7 RECEPTION FOP.

More socks for soldiers are needed urgently both at the front and in American camps and cantonments, declares’ Mrs. Cora S. Fridley, di- rector of .ue women’s department of the Northern Division of the Red Cross. “Many workers throughout the di- vision,” declared Mrs. Fridley,” have been so busy preparing Christmas packages for the soldiers that they have not been knitting the usual number of socks. Socks and sweat- ers are two of the most necessary things the Red Cross has been sup- plying our soldiers. The demand for them is continuous and highly im- portant. There should be no let-up in this part of the work by women of the Red Cross.” Shipment This Week. A large shipment of garments will be sent from Bemidji the latter part of this week. The ladies are at work tieing the garments into bun- dles, and they will all be on display Friday afternoon. It means added work, but they desire to have every- one interested in Red Cross work come to the library and see what has been done, and what is being done. No surgica] dressings will be sent at this time, but visitors can see classes at work making bandages. Remember the day and come - and bring your friends.
