C. Welch at the Odd Fel- lows’ Hall. Small balls of yarn that have been left over must be turned in, all finished articles must be turned in, and in fact all yarn that is not veing knitted into sweaters, socks, etc., is urgently wanted at the Red Cross headquarters. Wool yarn is not any too plentiful and it is expensive, and one must Hooverize in yarn as well as food. Some women have taken out yarn that, perhaps owing to other interests and duties, has not been-used. Be- fore another supply of yarn is re- ceived it is desired that the present supply is completely exhausted and as there are women who are willing and able to knit this supply can be used at once if it is turned in at head- quarters. | es | Casper Couple Wed At M.
