Whom It Max‘ Concern, (Editor'’s note—The following ar- ticle was written under the above caption and handed to the Pionger by a member of the Red Cross with the request that it 'be published in. the Red. Cross -column.: The Pioneer is in no manner responsible for any- anything contained- herein). There has' been some misunder- standing about the Presbyterian Red Cross club and the Bemidji Red Cress -chapter in regirds to Mrs. A. Lord selling Red Crosg sweaters and * |yarn. ! : \ Such .a thing has not been done, but the Presbyterian Red Cross club did_ furnish -yarn and knit sweaters and wristlets for mothers, sisters and friends who could not knit. They paid for the yarn needed in the making of the knitted goods. Some wanted to send them'to their own 28. der to the boys that {left with the Fifth division. But no Red Cross chapter yarn has ever been sold and never will be. Any one hegring such a report should know. thére is no truth in such a report. ' So. that there will be no further misunderstanding, the Presbyterian Red Cross club has changed its nanie to Uncle Sam’s Knitting club, but will continue working for our boys at the front. Sew On Tuesdavs. Mrs. A. A. Warfleld’s circle will sew at headquarters Tuesday after- noons. More Workers Needed. .No .matter if circles are sewing at headquarters, there will be plenty of room for any who have a little spare time and wish to come in to sew. Machines will be reserved for their use. Some one will be at the room every afternoon to give out work or help in any way. Our chapter {8 asked to increase its output. More workers are needed and needed bad- ly. Come and bring your friends. Let every one do their part. An official report from Arthur G. Hays, field representative of the R Cross, shows that 11,477 subserib- ers in North Dakota have donated $146,543 since the organization of the Red Cross on a war basis. o~ DON'T MiI88 “THE SLACKER” One of the most soul stirring feat- ure pictures ever shown in Bemidji is The Slacker,” which comes to the ‘| Rex. theater tomorrow.for a run of two days. There will be the usual matinee at 2:30 o'clock and a spe- cial matinee for the children at 4:30 each day. Two showings will be given in the evening, one at 7:20 o'clock and the second at 9 o’clock. There are 7,000 feet in “The Slack- er.” This is not what is known as a ‘“‘war picture.” It is the story of a man who found his soul through serving the nation. Marguerite Christy loved Robert Wallace and married him. Loving her country she plunged into the work of re- cruiting. One by one she bade fare- well to friends who went to the front in Europe. Her husband remained. Then she.found out why. He was a slacker and had married her to es- cape the draft. Her heart became sick within her and she determined to make a man of him and succeed- ed. With the sacrifice made by this noble woman ‘to bring about his re- generation and with his worship of his country and the right, this magnificent drama deals. ““The Slacker” was written and di- rected by William Christy Cabanne. It is one of Metro’s most celebrated films with that superb actress Emily Stevens as the wife. ture that set all New York talking and has been one of the greatest re- cruiting adjuncts that Uncle Sam has had, To see this picture will make miss this wonderful soul stirring pic- ture, “The Slacker,” produced by the Metro corporation.
