Agugst 19th, 1918. '
The Editor of the Sherman Cophty
Observer, Moio, Oregon, 1 am in re­
ceipt of a letter from Mr. Ayer, food
administrator for the state of Oregon,
in which he asks me that every Ore-
gon household give«, the following
letter careful consideration.

That Red Cross knitters may know
the plans of the Red Cross for future
knitting, George E. Scott, Acting
Manager of the American Red Cross,
has issued the following statement:
“ When the' War,. 1Indus tries Board
some time ago advised the Red Croas
that future production of knitting yarn
would be greatly reduced we immedi­
ately commenced to purchase all yarns
suitable for our knitting. As a result
we have today in stock Or on order
1,400,000 pounds of yarn for distribu­
tion to our chapters. It is hoped
that we obtain Borne additional ya#n
from wool unsuitable for government
uses. The expected total will, how­
ever, be considerably below the ten
million pounds used last year. While
the total of yarn we can secure is be­
ing determined, we are studying how
to use our supply to produce only
garments which are most essential.
When a conclusion is reached we will
announce full program of knitting.
“ In addition to this stock of yarn,
the Red Cross has ready for distribu­
tion 1,600,000 sweaters, 1,340,000 muf­
flers, 384,000 wristlets, 228,000 hel­
mets and 1,328, (XX) pairs of socks, a
total of 3,674, (XX) articles. We are
hopeful that these and such additional
garments as we shall be able to make
will enable us to meet the more ur­
gent requirements of our men during
the coming winter.
“ In thia connection it will be of in­
terest to the* .women who have been
knitting to knoi^that from September
1st, 1917, to June 30, 1918, the Red
Cross distributed £,875,000 knitted
garments to the army and navy of
the United States. During the same
period 70,000 knitted articles were

“ At the request of the Wrr Indus­
Notice is hereby given that the under­
tries Board, with which the Red Cross signed has filed in the above entitled court
works in close co-operation, we have her final report and account and that Tues­

for the hearing of said report and account,
liaing prices."
Threshennea Should Report Work
The inclement weather is-going to
make it necessary for some of the
threshing machines of the county to
finish the’work the first of September
or later, but thia is to remind those
that the reports of the amount of
grain threshed up to August 31st
should be turned in at that time any­
way. I would suggest that if you
only have three or four daya work to
do after the last of the month and
you know what the grain is going so
that you can estimate the amount
within a few sacks, that you do so,
thus saving one report.
If, however, you do not report all
that you will thresh on the first
blank, then make note of it and a
second blank will be mailed to you
immediately.
Indicate the amount of barley or
other ceroals threshed on the bottom

ber of credits which they have already earned. Three credits will entitle a
pupil to be classed as a sophomore; seven credits as a junior; and eleven
credits as a senior. Pupils must maintain good records in deportment and
moral standing, not only in school, hut also in the community, to be gradu­
ated from the school. Any function partaking of a public nature and using
the school or its classes as a basis from which to form its membership, shall
be deemed a school function, and under the jurisdiction of the school.
