Knit Something Don't be content with writing letters to Yankee soldier boys In France. They need warm woolen socks nnd sweaters, so knit some If you have the chance. It's very nice to be a hero and battle for a noble cause, but, when It gets ns cold as zero, you need warm mittens for your paws. Don't wait! S'tart knit ting, and remember the time Is short, the need Is sore, for by the first day of November, the comfy stuff should leave our shore. If I could learn to make the stitches I'd start the knitting job to day, and knit a. million pairs of breeches of good warm 'yarn to send away. I'd knit some mufflers and some mittens of nice, soft, fluffy yarn and stuff as soft and warm as little kittens and see that each man got enough. The Ked Cross folks will give directions that show you what to knit and how. They'll ship your work to foreign sections you'd better go and see them NOW. WILL Moom:.
