Certain persons are industriously circulating reports that the war knitting now occupying the time of| thousands of the women of the state is useless effort. One ill-informed newspaper correspondent declares that the woman knitter “is crimin- ally wasting herself.” “Minnesota in the War” desires to correct this misinformatien posi- tively and to serve notice on all per- gons and newspapers who are dis- couraging knitting to forthwith de- sist from so doing. The published statement that the] goyernment furnishes the soldiers land sailors all the knitted articles The only knit- ted items furnished by the govern- ment to the soldiers are the ordin- ary commercial machine-made socks. available, these must all be chased individually by the men. The American Red Cross declares that the need for knitted socks, sweaters, mufflers and wristlets is imperative and ealls upon the women of the United States to exert them- selves to the utmost in this regard. A cablegram from Major Grayson M. P.-Murphy, representing the Am- erican Red Cross in France, states the situation so clearly that further com- ment is unnecessary. Major Mur- phy says: * “Last winter broke the record for’ cold and misery among people here. There is inexpressible dread of the coming winter finding us without supplies. to meet the situation. We urge you on behalf of our soldiers and those of our allies who will suf- fer in their frozen trenches, and al- so thousands of French and Belgian] refugees and repatriates being re- turned through Switzerland to] France.

Christmas boxes for our boys at the front were received from the following auxiliaries: Baudette and Spooner, 30; Black- duck, 20; Hines, 5, and Kelliher, 20. All of these boxes were fine but those from Baudette and Spooner certainly take the prize. The different grades and the high school classes 0. these towns furnish- ed part of the boxes and they de- serve great credit for the fine boxes they sent. This is just a sample of -what their boxes contain: Package of crackers, two boxes of cookies, deck of cards, hand warmer and five boxes of fuse, package of raisins, package of dates, salted nuts, three cans of tobacco, several packages of cigarette papers, package of gum, package of life-savers, candy. A can of deviled meat product and a mighty clever book of poems, jokes and stories with original illustra- tions. Can’t you just see the smile on ‘some Sammy’s face when he opens this box? And how much pleasure he and his pals will get from the clever little book? And how good it will make them feel to think that even the kiddies are thinking of them? The workers here wish to thank the auxiliary chapters for their hearty support and co-operation in the good work. 1-1119 midji: not fit. Adv. Big Shinment Todav.
